Today Rue gets out of rehab. Mom was to nervous to go.
"Mom I can go get Rue. I don't mine" I could see she was relieved with my response.
"Luz. .. that would be nice. I can make sure the house is perfect when she gets here." she says as she starts fluffing the pillows as if the house wasnt clean already.
"Gia? Elias?" I yelled hoping my child and little sister could hear me from inside the house but they didnt.
"Gia? Where are you?" I countinued to yell but nothing. I walked to Gia's room.. nothing. I walked to my room and still no Gia or Elias. " Where can they be at.?" nowhere in the house to be found so I decided to check outside and there they were playing tag. " Guys we gotta go." I yelled as I opened the screen door. They both stop. " Are we going for auntie Rue? Mommy" Elias asked as he yanked Gia with him as he walked to me " Yes honey but we gotta get going. Go Inside and tell Grandma goodbye and give her a kiss okay." "Okay Mommy." as he went inside I look at Gia. She was nervous as well, we are were but Gia was the one who found her that day. " You ready ducky?" I said to her as we watched my son hug his grandmother. "Yeah, I just hope she does better.. You know." "Yeah I know what you mean." and with that we were on our way. Our way to Rue.
ONCE WE ARRIVED.
It was the end of summer. It was my junior year and most of everyone knew what happened to me and most don't. Mom wasnt so proud of her dispointment of a daughter. But as I walked out of this awful place. Rehab. What a wonderful place but glad that I don't have to be here anymore. But once I stepped out those doors. I thought I was still seeing things and that I was still in this awful dreadful place. Because when I stepped out those doors. I saw her. Elida. My older sister. I haven't seen Luz since dad died. I've missed her. I wanted to cry because she looks so real . I didn't know if she was really there or not.
"Hey you" was all I said when I saw Rue. she has changed so much. She wasnt the little girl I grew up with she was a stranger to me and my son, but I'm hoping with me back home we can bond against. I've missed my little sister so much and I'm so happy to see her. It was real Luz
"Luz? she whispered.
" The one and only ducky." I said look at her trying not to cry and I can tell that she was also trying not to cry.

" You havent called me ducky since I was like I was like twelve!" she answered with annoyance.
"We haven't seen each other for years and that the first thing you bring up."
"Well you won't really like what I really want to say to you Elida." she replied with a rude tone.
"Sorry Rue I had to do what was best for me and my son. But I'm here now and we have all the time to talk about the past but right now I have a little boy is so excited to meet his aunt Rue whom he loves so much. Okay." I tried my best not to yell because Gia and Eli were both in the car and I don't want them to see me angry.
" Okay."
"Okay."
As I opened the car door so that Gia and Eli can come out. Eli went fly out and tackling Rue.
"Auntie Rue" he yelled with excitement
"Peanut look how much you grown..You are getting so big." rue tells him
He looks so much like dad. It sucks that dad won't know his own grandson.
"I've missed you so much Auntie Rue."
"Me too peanut. Me too." she said as she hugged him so tightly.
