Nyla T DuBois POV

This is the morning I've been waiting for my entire life. Today I'm officially a teenager. I'm turning 13 and my older sister Jazmine was coming down from New York to Woodcrest to celebrate with us. I don't see her that much except on holidays and birthdays but she said  this year was special and she had a surprise for me.
To be quite honest I don't know her that well other than the fact that she's 29, my parents first born and she left for New York to go to college when I was really little but she always writes me and sends charms for my bracelets with post cards.
She gets to travel and live in NY. her life must be so cool. I hope I can be just as cool as her.

Tonight when she comes we're going to have dinner with the Freemans across the street.
Grandaddy Robert and Uncle Reezy(Riley).I don't know why they let me call them that we aren't related but they've been like family before I was born. Uncle Reezy had a brother I've never seen,Harry or something. Only a couple pictures .I can't give too many details because I don't know very much but nobody ever mentions him because it hurts too much. Uncle Reezy gets angry and everyone else just gets sad.
For Jaz it's well................ complicated
Once when I was 8 I asked her:
Flashback
"Sissy Jazzmine who is uncle Reezy brother?"
" what was that sweetie?" She replied
"Who is this man in the picture? Uncle Reezy brother? And why does Everyone get upset when he's mentioned? Is he an uncle for me too?"
She just paused and looked at me
She's froze up. What's wrong with her? She's starting at me like she's seen a ghost.
Then I saw a tear on cheek then she started full on crying. Damm! If I know one thing about her it's that she cries about EVERYTHING! What gives?
"Sissy?"
"Treasure, you're so beautiful......precious" she says in between tears
Why is she changing the subject tho? This isn't about me. Is this the twilight zone?
"JAZMINE!!!"
"Oh My Treasure,I'm sorry what was the question?"
Treasure is my middle name but she calls me that at random & when she's emotional.
"I asked who was uncle Reezy brother and you spaced out. Is he another uncle?"
She shook her head no
"No Treasure, he's nobody"
And with that she ran off leaving me with my curiosity and no real answers.
*End flashback*

She's hiding something but I don't intend to find out because I do NOT want to go through that ever again. I love my sister more than words can express but every time she comes it's so draining. Yes I always look forward to her visits but GAH! She and my mom Sarah are always fighting over something, she gets so emotional and the visit ends on a bad note. Sometimes I have a hard time believing she's my big sister. At times I feel like an only child
**DINGDONG**
I hear can my dad, Tom, voice from downstairs
"Jazmine, you finally made it"
"Oh Daddy you know Id never miss Nyla's birthday now where is my treasure?" That's my sissy's voice
"She's upstairs getting ready for school. Go see her for yourself "
I was already halfway down the steps
" no need I'm already down here"
Jazmine was around 5'4 ,had strawberry blonde kinky curly hair that was in a simple bun(she used to wear two puffballs when she was my age) she had emerald green eyes, light caramel skin and her figure was to die for with wide hips,slim waist and her breast was a solid C cup. She had a couple tattoos too. A big sunflower on her upper back,a little Jazmine flower on her side and an anchor on her ankle.
I could only hope I'd look as half as beautiful as she did.
"Oh my god! Nyla!" She exclaimed as she threw her around my neck real tight.
"Sissy you're cutting off my circulation I can't breath" I forgot she can be strong
"Oops sorry treasure" she said after she let go only to stare.Hard. And smiling.
She's weird af yo
"You've gotten so big" she said "omg I can't believe you are a teenager now" she shrieked
She's annoying too
That's what makes my sister so cool tho.

"Well that's what children do especially when you don't come around as much" The person that said that was our mom Sarah coming down the stairs. Jazmines excitement dropped and quickly turned disappointment as our mom continued to walk toward us.
"Hi mommy" she said dryly
"Jazmine, will you be joining us for dinner with Robert and Riley tonight for Nyla's birthday dinner?" mom asked her
"Of course wouldn't miss it for the world"
"Good"mom replies then turns to me "now Nyla you should get going you don't wanna be late but before you go make sure you feed DeeDee her breakfast" then places a kiss on my cheek and goes to the next room.
"Well I better get going I'll catch you after school" I said then jaz shook her head yes. I hugged Jazmine one last time before I went to feed DeeDee her kibble. Oh yeah almost forgot DeeDee was a little Pomeranian I got on my 10th birthday.

I rode on my trusty yellow bike down the sidewalk like I always do to meet my friends Dasia and Mia(Caesars Lil sister) so we can ride to school together and they wished me a happy birthday.
As we pedal to school I can't help but wonder what my 13th chapter has for me this year and what surprises my sister has for me.
