"Honey?" my mom said waking me up. By the way my moms name is Kristen. My dads was Steven.
"Yeah mom?" I said slowly opening my eyes. At first I saw my cousin and then I saw my mum.
"C-Corey?" I asked. He's figure slowly walked over to me at this point my eyes shot open fully and I jumped into his arms.
It has been 62 months since I last saw Corey (Crystal's older brother). He went off to be a solider, I thought he died. Almost 6 years without seeing his gorgeous face made tears come down my eyes. I looked over to see my mom with the biggest smile on her face.
"Where is Uncle Steve?" Corey asked. He popped me down and happiness soon faded from my face. He doesn't know? That was all I could ask myself.
"H-he di-died" I said looking down at my wriggling toes. Soon enough Corey bursted into tears.
"Excuse me, Alissa, Corey, Kristen?" I turned around to hear one to familiar voices. It was him.
"d-dad?" I stuttered in all but amazement. I rushed over to him and jumped into his arms. I'm never letting go again. "where were you?" I asked my dad my face still buried in his chest.
"honey?" everything starting shaking and my dad kept repeating 'honey'.
"Honey!!" I gasped for air. Tears were burning down my cheeks and I couldn't breathe properly.
"Hey, it's ok. It was just a bad dream" my mom told me.
"d-daddy" I kept repeating slowly. My mom pulled me back with a confused look.
"What did you just say?" she questioned me.
"I saw him. I saw dad. He was there. It felt so real. Just bring him back please mom. I need him we both need him." I yelled in all fear everything started shutting down. I wasn't speaking just staring at my wall.
"Calm down" my mom said pulling me closer. "He's always here with us, I promise".
I closed my eyes and skin drifted off to sleep again in my moms arms where i felt safe.

I woke up peacefully this time, with no dream. Sadly I wish I did because now I have to pack.
It is the 29th of June and mom and I are leaving for New Jersey in 12 days. I wonder what it is like in New Jersey for Christmas? Snowfall or sun shine?
I walk downstairs to see mom asleep with Luna in her arms, I walk into the kitchen and put some toast on for myself. I walk back to the living room and turn the TV off and put a blanket over mom and Luna.
My toast pops and I race into the kitchen so I can eat it while it's hot. Nutella and toast delicious. I eat my breakfast and then skip up the stairs into my bedroom so I can pick any extra things. I'm not going to school for the next two weeks so I decided to just pack everything cause I will only wear like three outfits these two weeks.
I haven't heard about those twins in a while and I have no way of knowing who the hot one was, well they are twins so I guess they are both hot but one of them caught my eye. I have half forgotten what they look like, I wish the image would come back into my stupid dumb brain.
I continue packing while listening to 'Next To You cover Jai Waetford' Jai's voice omg. I decide to stop packing and text my internet friend Jasmine.
Me: HEY JAS
Jasmine 💕: Hey girl, where you been?
Me: oh me just packing, you?
Jasmine 💕: what are you packing for? and you know school work.
Me: I'm moving. Gonna be living in NJ soon.
Jasmine 💕: you're kidding right? I live in NJ.
I rush of excitement comes over me. I can't believe my best friend is gonna live closer to me now.
Me: you're joking? omg we can finally meet each other 🎉
Jasmine 💕: no jokes here and defiantly can't wait to meet you gorgeous 😝 gtg love you xx
Me: love you too, I'm more excited now xx
Soon enough I was jumping around and screaming which I think woke my mom up because she came running up to see what's up.
"You know Jasmine?" mom nodded to my question. "She lives in New Jersey!" I screamed jumping around.
Luna was now jumping around with me. She so adorable.
"That's fantastic Ali, now you can meet her!" my mom said and I nodded and continued dancing to the music I forgot was playing. "Don't forget to be packed, you have to help me with the removals' on Saturday. Also Dylan and Tyler are coming to help" I smiled and mom walked back downstairs.
***
I finally finished packing all of my clothes and shoes tomorrow is all my bathroom things. I rested on my bed and grabbed my phone and checked Twitter. Nothing. I went on Instagram. Nothing. Then on Snapchat. Nothing. Why is no one on.
I went downstairs to see if my mom needed help.
"hey mom, I've finished all my clothes and shoes. Need help with anything?" I said sitting down next to her.
"I think I'm good sweetheart, just searching for good removal people. Thank you for packing makes it a lot easier." she said kissing me a kiss on the cheek.
"Alright do you want me to cook dinner. it's now 4pm. I can cook nachos I will need to cook the meat." I said as I stood up hoping she would say yes cause I'm really feeling like Mexican.
She takes a minute to think and I was starting to get impatient.
"Sure honey make sure you make extra cause I'm not feeling like cooking at all for these two weeks." I hopped up and starting making the nachos mince. First getting up all the veggies and cooking the mince before putting all
the veggies together.
After dinner finished cooking it was around 5:30pm.
"mom do you want to eat early?" I yelled to the living room.
"uh sure sweetie. 20 minutes?" she questioned I check the mince and figured that would be enough.
"Sure. Sounds good!" I yelled back. I continued to mix the mince and eventually started making the nachos. I make a very special nachos I have extras guacamole, lettuce and tomato.

Mom and I just finished dinner and now we are watching a movie '22 jump street' one of my favourite movies.
Soon enough the movie finished and mom was asleep so I just went up to my bed and tucked myself in once again.
