       "Can you guys hurry up?" I asked my  two sisters Bethany and Cindy. I am 21, Bethany is 20, and Cindy(the youngest) is 19. We are going to the airport with our mom (Kathy) to go to Chicago to meet our dad (Carlos), for our  annual reunion. This was something that we had to do after mom and dad got a divorce. We go to a restaurant to meet  dad and Mom  stays in the hotel room or goes shopping. Mom and dad  can't  be together in the same room the last time that happened it didn't end up pretty. "We are almost ready" Bethany and Cindy said in unison. Suddenly we heard a loud honking noise from outside. "Mom is here" I said. Bethany and Cindy ran past me and ran down the stairs leaving me behind. "I knew that would happen" I thought to myself. I turned off all the lights and locked the door. "What took you so long!"asked mom when  I got into the car. I just stood quiet not wanting to get my sisters in trouble. "She was just.... cleaning up Mattie's mess"said Bethany looking out for me . I mouthed the words "thank you"to Bethany .Mattie is our dog which we recently rescued from the street. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay here and take care of Mattie" asked  mom."Don't worry about it, Jocelyn is going to take care of Mattie and plus it's one of our traditions for us all to go to Chicago"said Cindy. Jocelyn is Cindy's friend."I understand ,but you guys are already old enough to fly all by yourself I don't see why you can't just all go without me"said Kathy. "Come on mom it's not like we make you go to diner with him all you do is say hi"said Bethany. "Fine"said mom and started to driving. I couldn't wait to see dad, this was the one time of the year that I saw him in person unless he was visiting town which he rarely did.
