I am the designer of my own future. 

"Yo Mike," Marlon says shaking me

"Yo Mike," Marlon says shaking me.

I groan as I push him away.

"Bro, you're gonna miss our flight to Cali."

This makes me jump up quickly. I rub my eyes.

"I'm up," I say as I fling my legs over the edge of the bed. 

I stretch as I get out of bed. I make my bed and grab the outfit I picked out last night for today. 

"Mike, hurry up," Marlon says as he's slipping on his shoes. "Joesph isn't in the best mood."

"When is he ever," I mumble as I leave out the room.

I head to the bathroom. I do my business. Brush my teeth and then shower. Once done I get dressed. I take my dirty clothes with me back to the bedroom I shared with Marlon. I'll be sharing another room with him in Cali. I throw my clothes into the hamper. I slip my sneakers on. I can't believe this might be the last time I'll have this room. I hope we make it out there. 

"You ready?" Marlon asks walking into the room. "Joesph is growing impatient."

I sigh heavily and grab the handle of my suitcase. 

"That man has no patience," I grumble as I head to walk out of the room.

"Boy, what did you say." I hear him say. 

My eyes grow wide as my heartbeat quickens. Crap. 

"Nothing sir," I say in a shaky voice. 

"No, tell me what you said." He says increasing the dominance in his voice. 

"I just said I'm still tired." I nervously say. 

"You better act right while we are out there."

"Yes sir."

I follow behind him and Marlon downstairs. Where everyone was here. Jackie has a life here. So he chose to stay. Hugs get exchanged. 

"Come here, Michael." Mother says with open arms. 

My body crashes into hers. I'm gonna miss her so much. Mother is my rock. 

"Awe Michael. Don't cry, baby." She says rubbing my back. "We'll all be out there before you know it."

"I hope so," I say lowly. 

"Come on boy. Don't make us miss our flight."

"Yes sir." I say pulling away from mother. 

I grab my suitcase and follow behind everyone and into the cab.
