Broken Inside

Chapter four

"Hi Tia!" Me and Axel said throwing on a smile.

"Hola niños!" She said gesturing us in. We put our luggage down by the door and gave her a hug.

Then out of nowhere she bursted into tears.

"I'm so sorry niños. I know it's hard for you two to go through something like this. We just have to get through it together!!" She cried holding our hands tight.

"Tia don't cry, we will be fine." I said but I didn't believe myself.

We gave her another hug and walked into the living room and up the stairs.

I remember when me and Axel used to come visit all the time during the summer but then we stopped when I was ten. Now I'm sixteen. So it's been a while.

I went up to my old room when I used to stay the night here which was left of the stairs and two doors down. On the front of the door read my name in purple letters and girly stickers around. I opened the silver colored knob and push it open with my leg while I picked up my luggage. I could hear my brother coming up with his luggage.

I went in my room and closed the door and locked it behind me. I needed some alone time to myself for a while. I sat down on the big bed. It only had a sheet on it and some pillows my aunt made when I was little.

I layes down on the bed for a while leaving my luggage packed still and checked my phone. Four messages from Jasmyn.

Jasmyn: Hey. Hows the trip going? I hope ur doin ok. I miss u gurl. :,(

Jasmyn: U ok? Txt me back wen u get this.

Jasmyn: Why arnt u txtin back. Srry if im being annoying. just miss u.

Jasmyn: okay last one. just wanna say that i hope ur fine and that i love u. im srry abt ur mom u know i just wish this was all a dream.

I hesitated before texting back.

Me: Hey jas. i miss u too. We all wish this was a dream. and dont wrry ill be fine. I will text u later ok. i gota unpack. byee love u grl.

I let my phone down on the side drawer next to the bed lamp.

I laid on my back and stared at the royal blue walls and ceiling. Just thinking. I really wished this was a dream. I wanted to wake up.

After a few minutes I got up from the bed and started to unpack. I put all my clothes in the tan dresser.

Then i took out some frames and pictures from the bottom of the bag. they were mostly me and Jasmyn and me, Axel and mom. I put the one of me, mom and Axel next to my bed lamp and stared at it. I could feel tears coming but I stopped them.
I continued putting them up then taping up the rest of the pictures and posters along the wall over my bed. I also took out white LED lights from a pocket an plugged them in the socket but didn't turn them on. I put the rest of my clothes in the closet and just looked around the room. I didn't have much clothes since I had to kinda get rid of some of my winter clothes since now I'll be in the sun which I guess wasn't so bad.

I went in my luggage and took out about eight packs of cigarettes and hid them in the bottom drawer of the dresser. I grabbed a whole bunch from the guy at the corner store before I left because here it would be really hard to get some since I'm under age.

I took out the pack in my pocket and placed the air freshener and perfume on my dresser then I threw the duck tape in a random drawer.

I opened my window and grabbed the dark office chair from my desk in the corner of the room and sat next to the window while lighting the cigarette.

After two puffs I looked out the window and just thought of how much things are gonna change.

I tapped on my cigarette and let the ashes fall out the window onto the ground below.

When I was finished I finally picked. Myself up sprayed the room with the lilac freshener and sprayed myself with the perfume just like on the plane and headed downstairs.
