Delilah Carmichael has been through a lot. Her parents divorced right after her sister Mali-Koa was born. And her dad died after Delilah turned 22. Delilah must reconnect with her family, and she'll have to take the long way home.
After a few minutes of getting my bearings after waking up, I roll over and see a text from Mikey.
Mikey💫: Check your Instagram.
Confused, I open the app, and when I see the latest posts on my feed, I know why.

calumhood: Happy birthday to my little twin sister. I know we just recently started talking again, but I'm so glad we did. Even if we don't always get along or see eye to eye, I'll always be there for you, no matter what. Because family doesn't end in blood.
Happy birthday, you lil' shit. Love ya!
I decide to comment on Calum's.
delilah.hood: Thank you @calumhood and @michaelclifford for the birthday wishes!! It means a lot to me.
I rush downstairs where Mikey is playing video games like usual, this time it's Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
"Mikey." I say, laying down on the couch to him, but Michael doesn't even look up. "Mikey, pay attention to meeee." He still doesn't look up, even when I lay my head in his lap.
"Oh sorry." Mikey says, looking down at me and grinning. "I didn't see you there."
"Sure you didn't." I retort, rolling my eyes. "I have to do something, and I have to do it now or I'll chicken out."
"Okay." Mikey pauses his game, giving me his full attention.
