MJ Fantasy ~ My Sister's Boyfriend

Part 1. The move

I stuffed all my clothes into one bag with my phone, my iPod, laptop and money. They got a smaller bag and put all the rest of the stuff I wanted to take with me in that bag. Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.

'Come in' I say.

My dad comes in and sits down beside me on my bed. 'Honey I know you don't want to go but it's only for a year.'

'And a half' I correct him.

'Why are you so upset about going I mean you'll see your mother for the first time in a long while. And Charisse?'

I don't answer him I just look down at the photo in my hands. It's a photo of my two best friends Jodie and Cameron and myself. We were on the beach having fun and eating ice-cream. I remember that time when Cameron dropped his flake and was so angry about it that I have him mine. Jodie and I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of it.

'You'll make new friends' my dad says interrupting my thoughts.

I look up at him with a bit of both anger and sadness in my eyes. 'How dad? How can I possibly make new friends? These two were the only friends I had. Besides I don't even have the courage to say 'hello.'

'Then just smile. You don't understand how much one little smile can do and what it can lead to.

'Oh that reminds me! I forgot to brush my teeth' I say getting up.

My dad chuckles then gets up too. I go into the bathroom and he goes downstairs.

** a few minutes later **

After I brushed my teeth I tied my hair up in a small curly ponytail then got my passport. I carefully put the photo into one of mg bags then grabbed them and went downstairs.

'Ready?' My dad asks.

'Ready.'

I go into the car and we drive to the airport.

*** 1 hour later ***

We arrive at the airport and we get out. We wait for out plane then finally it's ready to leave. My dad hugs me and I can see he's welling up a bit. 'I'm gonna miss you' he sniffs.

'Dad!' I chuckle.

'What?' He asks.

'I know. I'm gonna miss you too' I smile.

'There's the smile you should use it more often'

I smile again then get on the plane.

'Be safe!' My dad shouts.

'I will' I shout back.

I go into the plane and slump down on a seat and put my smaller bag on the seat beside me and the bigger one on the ground. I plug in my earphones and close my eyes and drift into a deep sleep.
