To All The Food I've Loved Before

Chapter 1🌺

In his bedroom Andrew Ilnyckyj was too busy reading one of his romance novels of two lovers being in a forbidden relationship when his young sister threw a pillow at him.

Andrew's POV

'as they crossed the field of desire..'

"Kitty! I am reading". I took off the pillow thrown at my face sitting up looking annoyed at my sister.

"Are we going to hang out or no?" Kitty asked looking even more annoyed as I was. I was about to reply when Kitty and me heard banging downstairs. Great, dad is cooking up dinner solo. Again. Sara or Sar, my older sister, came to us asking to help set up the table for dinner. We all went downstairs when Sar's boyfriend came in. Shane Madej.

"I can't believe you are not coming home until Thanksgiving" Kitty said in disbelief.

"Actually until Christmas sweet heart" dad replied back to her trying to cut the....'food'.

"Oh my gosh that means I have to ride with Andrew now!" Kitty said.

"Good. More practice for Andrew" dad said winking at me. Sar took the food from my dad saying she'll cut it instead. Kitty sighed loudly muttering how she is gonna die young.

"Well if you guys want, I can give Andrew and Kitty a ride to school. I'm not disappearing anywhere anyways" Shane suggested looking at dad and me smiling. I smiled shyly back not knowing what to say.

"What did I miss?" Sar asked coimg in with now cut pieces of whatever food dad cooked, handing us pieces to eat.

"That Andrew is such a bad driver-" I rolled my eyes at Kitty as Shane said.

"And talking about airplanes, speaking of I have a suprise for you" Shane dug in his pocket pulling out a piece of paper handing it to Sar.

"Since you won't be home by Thanksgiving, I thought of bringing home to you. I'm going to Scotland!" Sar looked at the tickets bewildered. Dad cheered for Shane. But I knew something was up by Sar's expression.

"You paid for these already?"

"Yeah when you decided on the college, I was searching for flights...."

There was a tense atmosphere now and everyone felt it. That night Sar and Shane fought.

Shane and I have been best friends since our kids days. We would do everything together.He was someone I can talk to about anything and he would understand. Until Shane and Sar became a thing,but that didn't stop us from being friends. Shane still tried to include me hanging out with them and not make it weird but it was still weird. I was still third-wheeling. I was happy for Sar she deserved him. I wrote him a letter (no I am not sending the letter), this letter help me sort out my feelings, but it was for mainly for me imaging what would of happened if I knew earlier what I was feeling.

My letters are my most secret possessions. There are 5 total:

Steven Lim from 6th grade
Eugene Lee Yang from camp
Niki Ang from homecoming
Evan Ghang from Model's Un
& Shane

I write these letters when I have intense feelings I don't know what to do. Reading them reminds me how my emtions can fly high. If Sar knew she would call me dramatic. But its fun being dramatic and no one knew of these letters.

Sar knocked on my door frame snapping me out of my trance looking at the hat box filled with my powerful letters. I quickly hid them under my bed as Sar told me my room's a mess climbing into m bed.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I......I broke up with Shane" "Wait why?? Don't you love him?" "Yes....but mom said I shouldn't go to college with a boyfriend before she passed away"

We stayed silent for a bit. Sar sit up and looked at me as a big sister would.

"I told dad that I made a box to donate and I made a box for you as well" I scanned my room trying to look something to donate.
"I don't think...."

"Andrew you are going to be now a big brother now to Kitty and you need to set an example. I am leaving tomorrow, you need to have a clean room"

I frowned at her "Can we go back to talking of how sad you are"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\the next day////////////////

We drop off Sar at the airport and saying our goodbyes. Dad and Kitty give Sar and me some alone time.

" I can't believe you choose the farest college to go to. Who am I gonna eat lunch with? You're probably gonna forget about us."

"You can take this chance to start branching and talking to others. It's your junior year! Something has to bound to happen" I shook my head at that option.

"Also hey I would never ever forget about you guys. I am one skype call away when you need me."

Dad and Kitty came back with a lot of magazines for her to read.

"Flight 802 Ireland, Flight 802 Ireland" We all looked at each other and did a group hug before letting Sar go.

"You think she'll look back?" "No that's not Sar"

And from that moment, I knew things will not turn out good.

Junior year starts tomorrow.
