A few years ago, our parents passed away from a car crash. It was indeed an unforgettable and a sad memory of mine. My brother was over it, but I wasn't. Being in a car might not be as easy for me since trauma and anxiety will always pull me in, back to my same ol' comfort zone.

Speaking of the past, of course leads us to the present. My brother and I will be living in a new apartment and will be transferring into a new school. New start to everything, I'd say, or maybe turning over a new leaf. I'm happy to be how I am living now, but scared of 'negativities' to take over me sooner, or later.

" Sis, when are you going to buy the groceries..? I am kind of tired of eating cup noodles for the whole entire 2 days of my life! " My brother complained, as he got up from lying on the couch, while I was sitting on the other end of the couch watching TV comfortably. My eyes were about to shut since we took the whole day to pack our items.

" Can we continue tomorrow instead? I feel kinda tired."

" Hmph, okay then. Make sure to not drag it, okay? Tomorrow is Sunday after all. School starts on Monday. " My brother lied down back on the other end of the couch, covering himself with a blanket.

I walked to the nearest grocery mart to grab some candies and the items needed for the whole month. After all, school would be starting soon and I can't keep dragging day-to-day to just buy groceries.

Once I reached home, I took off my coat and placed the grocery bags on the new kitchen counter. My hands were a little pale, because of the cold weather and also from the heavy grocery bags that I had to carry on my way home.

" Sis, I can serve dinner for today, go and rest first and pack your bags for tomorrow, I know it's a new start, but always remember, I'll be there for you, okay? Now, go."

Sometimes I think that my brother is being way to kind to me even if I was being rude towards him, the elders and others, he has a lot of patience and I don't want to lose him at all.

Since I was all tired, I took a 30-minute nap until dinner's ready to be served.

" Sis, dinner is served, let's go and eat. I have to talk to you too, because tomorrow is a new start for you. "
