I sat staring out the window, waiting. She would be here. She had to. Never once has my sister forgotten my birthday, and this one was special. I was turning ten.

"Do you want your present sweetheart?"

I looked back at my mom. She looked close to crying. I had heard her talking through closed doors at night. It had been a month since anyone had heard from my sister and we were starting to get worried.

I shook my head.
"No. I want to wait for sissy."

My mom didn't look at me.
"I don't think she's coming this year."

Tears ran down my face. She never missed my birthday. Never.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

I ran upstairs into my room and buried my face in my pillow to cry. She promised she would come every year.

Sniffling, I rolled over to stare at my ceiling, and quietly whispered.
"Please come home Ebony."

I'm back at it with this story, and this chapter is useless filler, sorta. I promise I'll continue this story, but let me ease myself back in and find my rhythm. :3
