The next morning I woke up particularly early because of my alarm. At first I was confused since there was no school today but then yesterdays events played back in my mind like a movie. Tears brim my eyes but I blink them away. I shut my alarm up and walk down the stairs, my hair still in the ponytail that I put it in last night.

"You're awake." I hear someone say, quite surprised. I turn around and see Bobby in the kitchen. By the looks and smells of it, he was cooking breakfast.

"Yeah well, figured you would want to go early." I say and sit at the counter in the kitchen.

"Well you figured correct. Breakfast?" He asks.

"You didn't need to make breakfast Bobby." I sigh and get up to get the plates out of the cupboard. When I did that, I put them on the bench and turned around to look at Bobby still standing at the stove.

"You're right, I didn't but I did anyway. Now go get your sister. We need to leave soon." He says, trying to usher me away.

"OK fine. I'll have a few bits of bacon please. And if you have some pancakes one of those to please." I say then run up the stairs, not leaving enough time for Bobby to say anything.

When I get to Mia's room I knock on it but then hear faint snoring. I laugh silently to myself and walk in. She still had her music playing so, I turned that off and went over to her bed. I tried to shake her away but that didn't work.

"Mia. Mia wake up." I try to whisper but she didn't respond. Just continued to snore. I raised my voice and she stirred but still didn't wake up. So, I tried something different. I used her favourite breakfast food against her.

"Come on, Bobby's making pancakes." That woke her up. It also gave us a wake up call since she sat up so quickly we clashed heads.

"OW." We groan and get up from our positions. I practically fell off the bed and she fell back down. I pulled her out before she could fall back asleep.

We walked downstairs together and into the kitchen where Bobby had given us our food. He had cooked pancakes (which is lucky for me. Mia would've killed me) and they were the best. The minute I ate a bite I fell in love with it. This was after I ate the bacon.

"Thanks Bobby." I say and he nods.

"No worries. Now go upstairs and get dressed. We're leaving soon." He basically orders me. I nod and put my plate in the sink before going up the stairs to have a shower.

After that, I brushed my hair and cleaned my teeth. I debated whether or not I should put makeup on. When I decided with no, I went into my room and picked out something to wear. I chose a short black dress and heels. I also put on my gold necklace and left my mums ring on my finger. She gave it to me last week, before she died. A thought then occurred to me, its almost as if she knew she would die soon. I was hoping that wasn't the case but I couldn't help. I soon pushed that though aside and walked down the stairs. I also packed a couple of duffel bags with clothes in case I needed them which I most likely did. As I got down the stairs I heard the door bell ring. I walked towards it and was shocked to see who it was.

It was my aunt and uncle. My aunt was my mums sister but she hated Mia and I because of our father. That and my mum told me what she used to do. My aunts excuse was I was "too young" which I'm not. I was actually quite grown up for my age and she also didn't like that. Forcing a smile onto my face, I answered the door.
