Usher's Niece Michelle

Trip to California

"I don't want to go." I yelled at Fizzy.

"But you have too.  Come on it's not that bad."

"Ya it is.  Aren't you going to miss Crystal and Hanna?"

"Of course I am."

I roll my eyes and sit back in my chair.

"You have to relize that mom is doing whats best for us. Please find it in your heart to forgive her."

"Sure she is."

I can see the hurt in Fizzy's eyes.  She loves our mom a lot, even though she never stops working. She even has a heart for my dad.  After what he did to us, I don't lke to speack or talk about him. Mom wasn't always that way.  She use to hang out with us all the time.  Before my dad left her.  He is the reason she is like that. My mom thinks she got the worst bruises from him, but the truth is that she didn't and I think she knows that.  My sister got the worst of it.  My dad got in a car crash on his get away from my mom, and we were in the back seat.  The truck hit her side the hardest.  She ended up being in a coma fro 6 months.  Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night replaying the scene of when my sistet got hit.

"Are you okay." Fizzy asks me.

"I'm fine.  I'm going to take a nap."

"Okay. See you when we get to Caifornia."

I grabbed my pillow from Fizzy.  The couple on the other side of us were holding hands. If only that were my parents I thought, and closed my eyes imagining what that might be like.
