Roommates

part 94

it's been 3 hours

3 hours since i've been waiting at the airport for my dad and cynthia

i'm currently sitting on the floor with my third cup of starbucks and my fifth brownie. i didn't have time to eat when i left the house and was starving when i arrived here

i called both of them millions of times and remembered that they wouldn't even be able to answer my call in the plane

plus the service here is absolutely horrible and the wifi isn't any better

i asked the people who work here why my dad hasn't came yet, they said his plane landed 2 hours ago

it's 10pm now and the airport is almost empty. families reuniting with flowers and chocolates makes me even more anxious to see my dad

i open the other bag of brownies i got and pick it up, staring at it. gosh i'm going to gain so much weight from all the brownies i ate today

"do you want that?"

i look up to a man standing in front of me, his beard gray, blankets covering him, and his face dirty

i give him my brownie and he walks away with it, not even a thank you

i pick up my phone and check the time 10:56pm

i wonder how everyone is celebrating tonight. i know jacob is with his family, joeys probably not doing anything, and sophia is probably at jenny's new years party

last year on this day i was with jaden. i really thought i was in love with him, he was so different

he was so special and kind. i enjoyed being with him so much and i loved every moment with him but later on he got more and more protective over me

it broke my heart when i realized he wasn't the same guy i met a couple months before

i go through my snapchat memories and see everyone hanging with friends and family with smiles on there faces

gosh how much longer can my dad take

i pick up my starbucks drink, this time i got a caramel frappuccino. i spent about 40 dollars on all 3 of my drinks

airport food is so expensive but i don't mind. i'd rather have starbucks then coffee bean

"do you want that?"

i don't bother to look up. the same man is back again and i just hand him my drink

he chuckles... a familiar chuckle

i look up and see my dad standing in front of me. my eyes widen and i stand from the floor wrapping my arms around him

"dad!" i squeal in excitement, i give him the most tightest hug i possibly ever could

my dad means the absolute world to me and i don't know what i would do without him. i don't even want to let go

"i missed you kiddo"

gosh i don't think i've ever missed someone so much. i pull out the hug and smile at him

"how was texas?" i ask him

"it was amazing" his eyes widen, "the snow, the weather, cynthias family. you should come with us next time" my dad says

i look over at cynthia and she is blushing at my dad, "how are you" i wrap my arms around her as well

i've known cynthia for a while now and i missed her as well. she's apart of this family now and my dad loves her so i love her

she's the mother figure i always needed in my life and i couldn't be more grateful for her
