I Want You To Know

Little Sister

I am glad we get a little break from the orientation till we have to start school. Seeing her was like a dream. I never expected that nor would I ever expect myself to say I'm excited for school. With school starting officially soon I went out to get me some stuff I'll need for it.

I didn't expect to spend a lot of time getting all of this, but at least all of that is done now. So now I am going back home and I noticed outside my dad's car. "He's home early" I said out loud to myself. I opened the door and looked around. "ELIAS!" I heard loudly in front me and before I could look I tackled onto the floor. "W-wha...Hayley!?" I said as she was hugging me even though we were both on the floor. "I heard you finally decided to get off of your butt and go back to school big brother!" Hayley said as she let go and smiled at me. "Well now, I'm back on my butt thanks to you." I said as I smiled back at her and started to stand up. Hayley also stood up and looked up at me. "You've gotten taller!" She laughed. "So have you!" I said putting my hand on top of her head. "It has definitely been a while since you've been back here." I started to pat her head. "Well get use to it! I'm staying forever now!" She said smiling up at me. "Really!?" I said as I looked up to see my dad. "Yup! Looks like we're back as a family." My dad said as he looked at us both and smiled. "Your mom would be so proud of you both." He said as he walked up and gave us both a hug. "I'm going to go make us some dinner. So I hope you two are hungry." He said letting go of us and walking to the kitchen. "You bet!" Hayley and I both said in unison. "So Elias." She intoned looking over at me and giving me an evil smile. "Are there any girls going for my big brothers heart?" I looked at her and laughed. "I think you're a little too young to be thinking about my love life." I then started to think about Saya. "There isn't anyone." Hayley then looked at me like I was hiding something. "Sure there isn't." She then walked away into the kitchen with Dad. I followed her, and we spent dinner together as a family.

After everything was said and done. Hayley went to bed in her room that my dad has kept the same. My Dad sat down in the living room and took a deep breath. I was about to walk in as well to talk to him, but I heard him starting to speak. "Hi honey. I can't believe that our kids are finally back together with me. It's like...a dream. A dream come true and I know that it was your doing my love. Thank you." He said as he began to cry. "Thank you so much my love." He said again through tears. I heard all of this and left him alone. I have to do better for not only him, but Hayley now. I guess my problem is how can I do that with this mentality of mine. I'm still going through a lot when it comes to the outside world. I guess only time will tell. I wonder if Saya has things like being scared of the outside world? I will speak to her as much as I can. I've never felt this way about anything.
