I gripped my suitcase tighter as I looked around the crowded area. I was looking for my aunt, who I had only met once before.
I saw a lady standing in the swarm of people, holding a sign that said Chloe. I hurried over.
"Aunt Jennah?" I said awkwardly.
"Chloe it's so nice to see you." She said with a smile.
"Nice to see you too," I said forcing a smile.
I followed her outside as she went on about how she hadn't seen me since I was little. I tried to listen, but my mind was on other things.
In the car, she tried to make pleasant chatter. I responded with simple short answers, but I wished we could just be silent.
I used to love to be with family and friends. To talk and laugh, but that was before everything happened. Now I surrounded myself in silence. I sit alone and cry.
After about 20 minutes she pulls in a driveway. I gathered my belongings and followed her inside. She showed me the room I will be staying in.
"I'll take you out tomorrow so you can buy some things to personalize your room." She said with a smile. Then she left the room so I could start unpacking.
I sit in bed and read a book. Books help me forget about everything. I have always enjoyed reading. I finish the book and set it on the table next to my bed.
I put some headphones and play some music. I bury my face in the pillow and cry myself to sleep.
