" I don't understand. "
Those were the first words that left my mouth when my parents told me that we would be moving to Texas. I was surprised. I was angry. But I regretted being angry.
On May 9th, my family began our drive from Oklahoma to Texas. I found it funny, at first I thought, " Cowboys with weird accents that talk like ' Howdy, y'all! ' " To be quite frank, I regretted this as well. I didn't know what was in store for us, but for me to be exact.
I looked out the windows of the moving van, the wind blowing against my face as we were passing the border to Texas. My home, or should I say my old home, was close to the border; so we were able to at least have a 1-4 hour drive until we arrive.
" Anak*, are you alright...? " My dad asked for the 17th time for the past 30 minutes. I put my head back in the van and simply sighed. I nodded my head to answer.
He didn't respond, unlike the past 16 times I nodded my head. Mother was silent throughout the whole trip from what I remembered, going through Facebook on her iPhone. Heck, I don't even remember if she was on Facebook. It's been a while.
The last thing I remembered that day, after I was sleeping the rest of the way, was when I saw a big house that we parked in front of. Lucky that we actually had a two story house instead of a one story like my old one, haha.... I missed that two story house.
Oh, I guess I didn't introduce myself. I am Halai Ann Reyes Mendoza, 14 Years old, Filipino but born in America and I have congestive heart failure since I was young. This whole story, is about me and my last year on Earth.
*Anak- Meaning child, son/daughter in Tagalog(Filipino).
