(blow the shit out of this book, and also vote and comment the shit out of it too. i want this to get to at least 10k reads!!!)

*also sorry it's so short, i had to rush.*

i walk into sarah's room with my arms folded. she was siting in the corner of the the room packing her stuff, and with her music playing.

i look around her room, we just moved here and now my two siblings except for me are moving out. all of her posters were taken down and so were her pictures.

she looks at me and then stops her music. "hey." she says faintly.

"you sure are leaving me aren't you, sar?" i asked. right now, i'm not mad or angry. i just can't get my mind around the fact that half of my family is leaving to go back to san francisco to go back to their new life instead of starting over.

she looks down and sighs, "i grew up in san francisco. all of my friends are there anna." sarah says.

i sit down next to her and put my hand on her shoulder, "it's okay, i'm not mad. just you better call me everyday." i told her.

she chuckled, "what about a text? it's lame to call your older sister everyday."

i playfully rolled my eyes, "okay then, text." i hold out my pink, "but promise you will."

she locks her pinky with mine and smiles, "promise."

i smiled back and got off from the floor. "get back to packing, you don't wanna be late for your 6 hour and forty-five minute flight."

she let out a slight chuckle and then pressed play on her music, then continued to pack her things.

i left her room and then made it to mathews room. "hey shithead." i said to him, while leaning on the door frame.

he didnt say hi but he did give me a soft smile. he was folding his clothes while on facetime with someone.

"i'm going to miss you matt." i hear from his phone. the voice a familiar voice, it almost sounded like joeys sisters voice.

sophia

"is that sophia?" i asked mathew, while pointing to his phone and walking over to it.

"hi anna!" i hear from the phone, it's sophia.

"hi sophia." i said smiling while looking at mathew with his blushing face.

"get out!" he laughed, while nudging my shoulder and pushing me out of his room.

i pull away from the hug from dad. "take care pumpkin, i love you." dad says.

i look down and don't make eye contact, "okay."

i understand that if you're wife is pregnant with someone else's baby, you'll be mad at her. and yeah, leave her too. but to try and take her kids away and leave your wife alone in new york with no knowledge of who the father is, is just so messed up.

mom needs help with this child, even if she doesn't know who the father is. and also, it's my half brother or sister.

"bye anna!" mathew says from the car. i wave to him "bye!"

"i love you!" sarah says from the other seat.

"love you more." i yelled back to her.

i looked at dad and he made his lips go into a straight line. i gave him a soft smile and then watched him walk from the front porch and to the car.

don't mind my pettyness

i watched the car drive off and turn the corner to where i couldn't see it anymore.

they're gone, my family is gone

i watch mom close the blinds as i looked her way. i sighed and opened the door to go into my house.

she puts her head down and walks upstairs. i feel bad for her, two of her children were just taken away from her.

im happy that i stayed
