The Wings On My Back

Chapter 2

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!!"

This is what I wake up to on a Saturday morning about to drive for sixteen hours strait. Thanks Ember.

"Lord! Ember what is this? Boot camp or something?" She gets up laughing and skips out of my room. Ugh. Six year olds.
I get up and do my usual routine and  head to the kitchen.

"Morning!" My to-happy-mother shouts at me over the moving truck engine.

"Uh hi. I just want some eggs. Nothing big. Please." I am really not in the mood for something  like that when, in about an hour, I will be driving away from everyone and everything I have ever known. 
She cooks the eggs and I set the table. That's kind of our thing.

"Is fan coming?" Ember warily asked.

Fantomm,or fan, is my winter wolf.
Fantomm is German for ghost. She has fur as white a ghost. Therefore her name is ghost. Everyone calls her fan though. I found her when I was five. It was on the day my father had died. She reminds me of him sometimes.
Any ways she kind of hates Ember.
And its kind of funny.

"Yes she is coming. We can't just leave her here, and even if we could I wouldn't leave her."

Embers face went back to happy when she got her eggs. Mom poured some eggs on our plates and we started eating.

As I through on the clothes I layed out last night,  I hear the moving truck start up. Its almost time.
I quickly pull up my new skinny jeans and converse and hurry out the door with my things.

"Peace, room."

I through my suit case full of clothes in the front seat of the truck and shut the door. I grab my bike from the trunk and start toward Sam's. When I get there the gates are closed -which means their home- so I hop off my bike and fly over. I land at the front door.
Ding-dong
Sam's mom opens the door and a smile spreads across her face.

"Hi Mrs.Barnet."

"Aww hi sweety come here"- I get a comforting hug- "we're all going to miss you so much."

"Thank you. I will miss y'all to. Mostly you and sam though." I let a sad smile fall on my face but only for a moment. It widens when I see Sam.

"Come in, come in."

Mrs.Barnet leads me inside to Sam.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?"Sam's  mom is always polite, offering drinks and snaks and stuff.

"No ma'am. Thank you though."

Me and Sam walk up the stairs and into his room. I have always loved his room. It was a different theme every month. He finally decided on a vintage rock look. And I love it.

"Dude I'm kind of nervous."

"So am I" Sam has like no worries. Like ever.

"About?"

"This." Ok now I'm really confused.

"Wha-"

And just like that were kissing again.
I don't really know for how long either. Is that bad?
I hear a quiet knock on the door and push back from him.

"Come in!" I shout through the door.

Mrs.Barnet walked in with a sorrowful look on her face.

"I'm afraid its time for you to get on the road. Your mom just called and said they are leaving in ten minutes so hurry-" another hug-" I'm going to miss you so much."

I hug back until she let's go. I can feel the black and brown tears coming up.I look up to see Sam shed a tiny tear. I walk over to him and hug him.
Tight.

"I love you."

He said it in a whisper so only I could here it.

"I love you too."

I did the same. I get up and walk out after wavering one last time. I say good bye once more and ride back to the house.
When I get there mom and Ember are already in the car. I toss my bike in the back and hop in.
Its gonna be a long ride.
