"Mommy," Rachel whined. " I want cupcakes." She says pouting her lips. I roll my eyes because I know my sister is a spoiled little brat even though no one wants to admit it.
"Lex, go get her cupcakes. Please honey." Mum says without looking at me. She is busy packing her clothes for the annual vacation we always have at around this time of the year.
Rachel grabs my hand and makes me go to the kitchen to get her the cupcakes. The little brat is so happy, I can't help but smile back at her. Guess what they say about smiling being contagious is actually true. We get to the kitchen and I get her one of her precious cupcakes but before she can reach out to get it, I move it away from her.
"Moooooooom! Lexy is refusing to give me my cupcake!" she shouts.
"Lexy! Give her those cupcakes before I come down there!" Mum retorts back.
From the tone of her voice, I don't think she'll hesitate to come down and give me a good scolding. So I hand them over grudgingly. Rachel sticks out her tongue at me and I begin chasing her around the kitchen. When I get her I tickle her till she can't laugh anymore.
And that's it. Those were the last words I had with my mother and my younger sister. About cupcakes. Sometimes it just perplexes me how one minute you are with someone and the next they are gone. The worst part of it all is that it happens so unexpectedly and when you didn't even tell them the right words you would have said had you known that it was the last time you would ever see them.
So after the cupcakes saga, it takes us about an hour or so to get ready to leave for the trip. The ride is mostly quiet with mom's terrible choice of music playing in the background. Well not terrible but I just don't like classic music though it comes in handy when I want to sleep. So most of the trip I have my headphones on. Rachel is also on her phone texting her friends mostly.
I don't remember anything else that happened because I fell asleep. But I remember my sister waking me up so roughly and the car was skidding out of control. Before I could process what was happening, I hear a loud bang and everything goes black.
