// Nia Cole //
"F this," I say as I end up kicking my luggage down the stairs instead of carrying it.
"Nia!" My father yells at me. "C'mon! They were heavy!" I yell back.
If you can't tell I'm not awake yet. I literally got up 5 minutes ago from sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag next to my 3 brothers and father. My oldest brother isn't here he just moved out, all they way to California with his piece of crap girlfriend. None of us like her.
I walk to the bottom of the stairs, pick up my stuff and take it to the car, then proceed back inside for coffee. I love coffee.
Oh- sorry! I didn't introduce myself. I am Nia Rose Cole. I am 16 and I have 4 brothers, right now we are getting ready to move. Yes, move. I'm dreading it. But thank goodness I don't have really close friends here. Not sayin I don't have friends, I have friends here they are just not that close to me? You get me? Probably not I can be complicated.
But we are moving to some place called Pickering, it is in Canada, but I'm not complaining because I heard it is cold there. I love winter, the snow, the weather, the holidays, fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, movies, I could go on and on. But we are from West Virginia, so moving from here to there is going to be different.
We are actually moving just a block away from our grandparents so they can keep a closer eyes on us. Because apparently we aren't old enough to be responsible. And our dad is in the army, he is getting deployed to Europe in two weeks and our mother died about 2 years ago in a car crash during a thunderstorm. So we've pretty much been on our own for a year but dad thinks that things will get better if we move closer to family.
As I walk into the kitchen I see my family there, well except for Tanner. They were all just sitting on the floor because he have no furniture in the house at all. The movers moved all of it a couple days ago so it would be in the new house when we got there and all we would have to do is decorate and put our clothes away.
My dad also picked our rooms for us so we wouldn't argue over the rooms. But we will anyway.
As I sit down on the kitchen floor next to Kion (it is pronounced exactly how it looks Ki-on) he hands me a black coffee and I thank him quietly. He is my closest family member. I tell him everything and he tells me everything. We are each others best friends and at some points each other's only friend. We've been like this for as long as I can remember, until he got a girlfriend a couple months ago, but even then we were still very close.
After I had taken a sip of my coffee everyone in the room started to chuckle, I look around the room at each of them, "What?" I ask. "What did you do to it Kion!?" I ask annoyed. I just wanted some coffee. "I didn't do anything!" He says laughing and raising his hands up in defense. He wasn't lying but Luke probably did something. He has always been the jokester in the family, even when he was little.
Luke starts to double over because he's laughing so hard. I set my coffee down and go over to him. I look at him for a second then start to tickle him. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY COFFEE!" I yell in a playful voice. He can't even talk he is laughing so hard at this point. I love my family though, they bring the best out of me.
"Alright Nia." My dad says chuckling, basically telli me to stop. I stop and look at Michael this time. "What'd they do?" I ask laughing.
"I honestly don't know." He says laughing. "Liar." I say smiling at him. "No I swear I don't." He says more persuasively this time. I still don't believe him but he can bullsh*t you into believing the sky is green. That is why he is going into the sales business soon.
"Then one of y'all did something!" I say laughing looking around at all of them but still smiling in a playful manner. Luke is still laughing but I keep on looking at him. Just looking. Once he stopped laughing so hard he says, "I spit in it." Then continues to laugh. "You're so gross!" I yell. My dad is laughing but says, "Alright we need to get to the airport our flight is in an hour."
All of us walk through the house for the last time. I'm sad we are leaving but I know it is for the better. No one even wanted to go into Momma's office anymore, it brought back too many memories. The whole house did. I think that is partly why dad wanted to move, he would get too upset knowing that Mom lived here, laughed here, raised their family here. It is just too much pain for him to handle.
After we all get one last good look at our home, we get into the rental car, again most of our stuff is already at the new house including all of our cars. Even our two St. Bernard's are already there, they are just staying with Grandmaw and Pops until we get there.
We make it to the airport in a little less than an hour but we immediately board the plane since we were almost late. We already said bye to everyone yesterday.
Kion had to say goodbye to his girlfriend and I know he's hurting but I don't know what to do about it. And Luke had to say goodbye to a lot of good friends. Me? I said bye to friends I'm not even close to. They aren't really my friends just... acquaintances. People I knew the names of. So it didn't bother me one bit, just leaving the house felt like leaving mom. That is what I am struggling with.
Kion puts my bag up into the little cubby thingy above your seats for me since I can barely reach it. I'm only 5"5. That is considered very short for my family since they are all above or at 6 feet tall. Besides my grandmaw and I.
Kion takes the window seat since he knows that I am scared to death of heights. About 5 minutes later a guy, I would say who is in his thirties, sits on the other side of me. Then a couple rows ahead of us is Michael, Luke, and Dad.
We are getting ready to take off and I get a firm grip on my brothers arm. This part always scares me even tho I've only flown twice before. Before long we are in the air and I am fast asleep along with Kion.
