I actually find this very unusual. Like who even sends mail anymore? Anyways, I get out of bed and follow my mom. Loren does the same.
We all walk down the stairs into the kitchen, where I find an envelope with my name on it. I pick up the envelope and tear it open. Inside there was a letter. Great, now I have to read. Sorry to sound obnoxious but I just don't like reading long letters.
As I read the letter, a shocked look appears on my face. A manager of a meet and greet convention, wants me to take photos of the events happening its self. This can help me in so many ways possible. But why me? I'm glad to take the offer. "Well.." My mom says.
"What is it?" Loren asks?
I explain to them what the letter said. "That's great!" Loren exclaims hugging me.
"Does this mean you'll have to be traveling without me." My mom asks. Here goes over protective mom mode.
"Yeeees." I say dragging the e.
"I'm not sure if I want-" I interrupt my mom.
"Mom, I'm 15, not 7. I can take care of myself." I explain to my mom.
My mom thinks for a moment. "Okay, but only because this can help you better with your photography career." She tells me.
I smile ear to ear at her response. "Okay, now hurry up and pack your things before I change my mind." I my mom orders me.
She's right I should pack up, my flight is actually tomorrow morning. I run upstairs with Loren trailing behind me. I grab my suitcase and lay it smack down on the ground. As I'm packing my belongings I notice that Loren looks upset. "What's up?" I ask while stuffing clothes in my suitcase.
"I won't see you for a long time." She confesses.
I stop what I'm doing and look at her. "Loren, do you think this is easier for me? I'm leaving me best friend behind." I tell her.
"Sorry, I'm just gonna miss you, that's all." She says. I go and hug Loren.
"I'll miss you too."

I turn a gently tap the off button. I sit up and stretch my arms. I woke up feeling energized. That's a first. I get up and get ready for the day. I decide that I don't need to impress anyone today. Therefore I'm wearing sweatpants, a black tank top, and a jacket. Yes I know I look like a slob, but I'm comfortable. I make sure I have everything I need before going downstairs. Luggage, check. Backpack, check. Laptop, check. Camera, check. Phone, check. Looks like I'm good.
I get all my things together so I don't have to go back upstairs again because, I'm that bitch. Soon after, I realize that I had made a terrible mistake doing so. Walking down the stairs was now a struggle. My older brother, yes I have a brother, takes my luggage to help me. "Thanks Dylan." I say appreciating his action of kindness.
"Sure." He says taking them to the car. Dylan being nice is rare, so I have to cherish this moment.
Anyways, I do the same with my luggage. Once my mom is ready, then we are off. The ride wasn't that long. I was sitting in the front seat and we were all just talking the whole way there to pass time. I'll miss this.
We finally made it to the airport. My flight leaves at 10:30 am and it's currently 9:00 am.
I get my luggage from the truck. "Bye sweetie have a fun time in Huston!" My mom gives me a tight squeeze.
"I will." I laugh.
"See you soon little sis." Dylan says to me.
"See you soon big bro." I reply.
I grab the handle of my suitcase and start walking away. Before I step foot in the air port I turn around. This'll be the last time in a while I'll see them in person. They both smile at me. I return one back.

After getting my stuff checked, I go to my gate. I felt so independent doing this on my own. I finally arrive at my gate and set my things down. There were so many people boarding the same plane I am. I checked the time, 10:20 am. My plane will board in exactly 10 minutes.
The time passes and everyone is starting to get in line. I decide to get in line too. The line goes by quicker than I thought. It was my turn, so I gave the lady my ticket. "Here you go, enjoy your flight." The lady says.
I walk through the little tunnel into the plane. I put my luggage away and sit by the window. After what seems like forever the plane takes off. There really nothing else to do in the plane beside watching boring movies. I took a pass on that one and just decided to catch up on my sleep. I close my eyes and drift of to sleep.
****
My sleep is interrupted by the plane. I make my vision clear and notice that we are about to land. The stewardess walk through the isle making sure everyone has their seat belts buckled.
Once we land I get up and reach for my luggage. I wait for the line to clear up and make my way out. I went into another section of the airport. I saw people holding signs up with names. I start to look for the poster that has my name.
No
No
No
There's my name.
I walk up to the man with a poster that says 'Brandy Price' on it. "Ah, follow me Ms. Price." The man says.
I follow and see that he leads me to a limo. Damn. I thought. All this for a photographer. He takes me to a really nice hotel, which I suppose is where I'm going to be staying. He opens the door for me and get my luggage. "Thanks." I thank as he nods in response.
I walk towards the inside of the hotel. It's really fancy here. As I'm looking around I feel a hand touch my shoulder and turn me around.
