"Daddy I'll miss you so much!" I cried into his shoulder while hugging him. "I know kiddo; I'll miss you too. So very much. Now you take care of your sister and more importantly, yourself okay kiddo?" he murmured while rubbing my back soothingly hoping id stop crying. "yes I will". I let go of him and went to hug my mom, she hugged me back stiffly as I told her that I'd miss her too. "I'll miss you too, see to it that you attend Amelia's needs before yours. Am I clear" she all but demanded. "yes mother" I answered back automatically as it had become a common thing.

"Come on Emily! Hurry up before we miss our flight!1" Amy shouted out while I was standing less than five feet from her. I sighed turning back around to bid my last goodbye.

I got into the car and drove us to the airport. Unsurprisingly Amy talked about how she couldn't wait to hit the clubs and go shopping. "Emily, mom said you should give me thirty percent of the allowance daddy gives you so that I can buy nice clothes since you don't even care about how you dress or look like" I agreed half-heartedly since I knew that if I disagreed they'd find another way to get it.

My mother and sister disliked me so much and I don't know why or what I did but I'll have to get them to like me. After all we are family.

As we got to the airport I took my last deep breath of my small town; Short Hills in New Jersey.

California here we come!
