Day 204

February 11th, 2010

That was it. That was the day I finally got out of that place. I was waiting in front of the front door, my bag on my back and a wallet in my hand. I was smiling, turning around when I heard someone coming next to me. I saw Dr. Jefferson coming by my side. He was smiling too. 

- I went to your house yesterday, Zayn. I had to make sure everything was safe for you. I have to say that you have quite an amazing room. You did the painting yourself ?

- Yeah, I was feeling like it, I was tired of the four white walls. 

We stood there in silence, as I was wondering what he had to put out of my bedroom. What would had changed ? I didn't had time to think about that pretty much longer, because I saw the familiar old car parking in front of where I was standing. My favorite red-head girl rushed out of the car and jumped in my arms. "Told you that I was coming to get you..." I laughed, before kissing her cheek. I didn't had to think about it, I was just feeling like it. Just as I was feeling like being near her. 

Alexis got back after a while, and I saw my Mom standing not so far away. It seemed like ages since I had saw her. And I was regretting the way I had left her. I ran up to her and held her in my arms. I felt her crying on my shoulder, so I held her closer. 

- I'm sorry Mom, I love you... I whispered in her ear.

She made me back up and she wiped her eyes. I turned to see Dr. Jefferson, who was still smiling. He gave me his hand and I shook it. 

- Thank you, I said simply.

- In the car kiddos ! I heard my Mom saying, making me laugh. 

Alexis was waiting for me and, as soon as I was by her side, I felt her fingers intertwining with mines. That couldn't get even better. 

I sat on the back seat with Alexis, her head lying on my shoulder the whole drive. My Mom had put the radio on and I was humming the songs that were passing through. In the middle of the drive, my Mom told me that Doniya had an interview for a job in London, and she wasn't able ot make it to the dinner. But she would be there at the first hour, the day after. It was alright. I was just happy that I was getting back home. 

The two hours drive passed quickly, as I saw my house at the end of the street. We turned in the driveway and, on the stairs, there was Waliyha standing, talking to the phone. She hung up as soon as she saw the car. I jumped out of it and ran to see her. She jumped into my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist. I held her tight, not wanting to let her go. She was my little sister, I wanted to protect her over anything. I had failed to that and, in that moment, I promised myself that it wouldn't happened again. I felt her crying after a while, so I just held her even closer. "I'm here Liyha... I'm here to stay..." I whispered, only for her to hear. She nodded and I put her back to her feet. She was smiling through her tears and she grabbed my hand to lead me inside. Nothing much had changed, only that it was quieter. My Mom was already in the kitchen, making something to eat. Us, teenagers that we were, were sitting on the couch watching some random TV shows. Mostly humor ones. Alexis was sat next to me, our hands connected and Waliyha had her head on my knees, never letting go of my other hand. And it felt great. So damn great. 

I was back home, with my favorite persons in the world. There was only Doniya missing and I couldn't wait for the day after to see her.
