Makayla POV

My Dad died in an auto accident a few days ago. The funeral was yesterday but it felt like hours ago. I'm moving back to Lima Ohio to go live with my Uncle Burt and cousin Kurt. I hopefully will see some old friends of mine, Sebastian, Jeff, and Nick. We've kept in touch for the last five years, they know about my dad's death, I told them I'd be living with my Uncle
Burt and my cousin Kurt.

************************************
By 4:00pm my car passes the sign that says WELCOME TO LIMA, OHIO.

I drive up and into my cousin's driveway. I take a shaky breath, and I knock on the door.

A fashionably dressed guy opens the door and I reconise him, Kurt. "Makayla!" He says pulling me into a hug.

"Hey Kurt!" I say and hug him back.

"I missed you sister from a different mister." Kurt says.

"And I missed you brother from a different mother." I say laughing. We have always been super close. He is my cousin, but more like a twin brother to me than anything.

"Kurt, who's at the door?" Uncle Burt calls walking towards the door.

"Hey Uncle Burt!" I say and he hugs me.

"Kurt, show Makayla to her room. I'm busy making dinner." Uncle Burt says.

Kurt and I grab my bags and we go to my old room, whenever I used to come here to visit this was my room.

We set my suitcases on the floor by my closet. "So, are you going to McKinley High?" Kurt asks.

"Yeah. I'm nervous though." I say to him.

"Hey don't worry, my friends and I will protect you from anything. I promise." Kurt says holding out his pinkie finger, I link my finger to his.

"And you can't break it." I say sternly and next thing you know we burst out laughing.

"You still sing?" Kurt asks.

"You'd better believe it!" I say.

"Let's hear it then." Kurt says

"Duet?" I ask

"Sure!" Kurt says.

"We sound great together!" I say.

"Yeah we do!" Kurt says.

"Promise to audition for Glee club at school on Monday." Kurt says

"I promise." I say.

"Dang, it's 6:30 already." Kurt says.

"Dinner!" Uncle Burt calls from the kitchen.

"Coming!" We yell back.

"Race ya!" I say and take off.

"Hey wait up!" Kurt yells.

I can't believe how missed this. Hopefully I'll see Sebastian, Jeff or Nick sometime soon. But for now, I'll just enjoy the moments I have with my family, because they can be gone in a blink of an eye.
