This story is going to be so fucking shitty. But it's ok I'll learn to write better stories in time. It's like 3 a.m. and I'm not even tired yet. I wanna kill myself. Anyways enjoy ... I guess.

    'Bye, I have to go now, I'll text you once I get wifi or when I'm there okay.'

    'You better, okay I'll talk to you later then.'

It was silent for a few seconds, neither of us had hung up yet. The morning was frigid but just listening to your voice made something inside of me feel warm. Footsteps were heard inside the house as people were waking up and bidding us farewell. I was going with my sister back up to Bozeman, Montana. As cliche as it sounds, it was my only home; I felt safe and exultant there. Neither of us had hung up yet. Silence had engulfed us like someone giving me a warm 'welcome home'. In a sense, it was comforting, not having to make a conversation.

He sighed.

   
    'Be safe okay, I'll see you later then.'

The enervation present in his voice was clear. The call then ended with a beeping noise, I then put the phone in my pocket. As I went inside, my sister was hugging mom and dad.

    'We're going to miss you two talking shit to me. It's going to be quite here without you picking a fight with me.'

My father said to my sister. My father sort of always said this when we were going to Montana. He was a plump man, with brown eyes and dark skin, something that I didn't have and they would tell me to go outside so I would get darker. I did inherit his sharp features and tallness, or so I opine.

   'Be careful okay. Ray, please remember to keep your sister awake while she's driving.'

My mom had said to me, releasing Raidine in the process and coming to hug me. She was a short woman in her 40's with curly hair, brown eyes that looked black, and a plump figure; that I believe is adorable.

 'Don't worry mom; I'll do my best to keep her awake.'

I returned the hug, waiting and hoping, soon that we would just go. I didn't like being here; I didn't like having to hear them fight, then coming in and taking their vexation out on me verbally. Raidine did know about it, and so this is one of the reasons why I go up to Montana with her every summer. There was barking coming from outside of our dog Chibi that was coming with us too.

    'Okay, Bubbles you ready now?'

Dine asked turning to me excited about the trip.

     'Yea I am ready I just need to put my backpack inside the vehicle.'

I was excited too since this was the only time I would tell her about everything. I wouldn't call her since I was afraid that mom or dad might hear me. I only trusted Dine with my problems and what I have been going through with school, friends, and family.

    'Okay. Go get your bag, I'll put Chibi in the car, and we can go.'

Dine said walking towards the door with keys in hand and luggage. I quickly walked to the back of the house retrieving my backpack with all the things that I need. Then I grabbed my stuffed dog since I have a hard time sleeping without it by my side now.

    'Okay, mom, dad I love you both. We'll be safe okay.'

I say as I walk out the door hugging the dog close to my chest. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted him.

I laugh a little bit at the picture I sent to him as I was walking towards the car. Satisfied and anticipating that it would make his day a little better. I then put my phone away and put everything in the back of the car and put my dog in the passenger seat with me. Dine then came in the door turning on the heater.

    'You ready Bubs?'

Dine said with tiredness laced in her voice.

    'Yea I am'
