Last time

  The light of the Tv lighting up the room, as we sat there waiting for the time to say goodbye to leave our closest cousin kitty's house. All the emotion flowing around my body, it had been the best summer of my life. Alas, all good things must come to an end, my brother was moving 6,217 miles away from me. Today was the last day I was going to see for a few months, just thinking of him leaving made my eyes water. He has always been there for me, to help me whenever I needed help or when I just needed someone to talk to. I never wanted the summer to end because I knew that it would be time I would have to say goodbye to him.

" I think it's time to leave" the sorrow in Kai's voice is undeniable,

" No, please don't go" Kitty trying to fight back her tears as she's begging us to stay.

His eyes become so glossy it looks as tho he's trying so hard to hide his emotions, we get to the front door without saying anything.

" Okay I guess I'll see you soon" His voice cracks, he turns around to give Kitty a huge hug but then turns back around so swiftly. His cheeks dripping with tears I've never seen him cry this much before, it hurt me to see him like this. Seeing him as this gentle, emotional person not just the big boy that plays sports. Seeing him like this makes me want to take away all his pain.

" I love you " he weeps,

"I love you so so much!" yells Kitty as we are walking quickly to the bright blue pickup.

We get into the car in complete silence, the noise of the grasshoppers filling the empty silence.

He turns the key, trying to fight every emotion.

" Zara don't cry or else I'm going to cry more," his eyes were so red he looked as though he was crying for hours.

Biting my lip, I use all my power not to burst into tears. the same one that is now plunging down Kai's face he's sobbing. My heart feels as though someone has just torn it out of my chest and left me on the floor with a hole in my body. He slowly reverses out of the narrow driveway into the open road. He connects his phone, the music full volume; the windows rolled down, the midnight breeze surrounding us. The music was so loud I could barely hear what he was saying,

" Zara I'm going to yell okay, do it with me." I didn't know how to react but he started picking up speed, soon enough he was going 100 mph through the dark winding narrow streets. The music was blasting, the blood pounding in my ears, my hair whipping me in the face my hands hanging out of the car. A complete euphoria, everything fading away till it was just my brother and I. Then he starts putting all his emotion into every yell, I join him. All the emotions coming to the surface and the realization that this will be the last time seeing my brother before he goes to college. Both of us just singing and yelling like there wasn't a tomorrow, AHHHH! AHHHHH!

I'm unable to stop the tears streaming down my cheeks. The feeling of complete bliss, I forget about everything for a second, just falling into the beat of the music. I never wanted it to end.

We both stop once we see the large white stone house, everything goes quiet. He parks the car and wipes away his tears. We into the house without saying a word, I look at the time 12:30 am. His bags all packed up waiting at the end at the door, the driver standing there waiting for us to say goodbye.

" It's time" he weeps. I couldn't manage to say anything, I was just standing there. He wraps with long arms around me and tightens the grip,

" I love you" I manage to say the tears now racing down my face like a tap left on, he pulls away, from me his cheeks stained. He kissed me on my forehead and hugged me again,

" Stay strong the time will fly by." He sobs.

" I'm going to miss you so much" I've never been this sad before.

" its time to go, I'll see you soon." he pulls me away, wiping the tears from his face he stands up tall. He gets into the car and that was it, he was gone, my heart shattering into a thousand pieces like a fragile glass sculpture.
