~ SCARLETT ~

"Okay kids I'll be leaving now.. Oh how I'm soooo going to miss you little munchkins". Nona says while holding our cheeks one after the other.

"So why are you leaving us if you're going to miss us". Eleanor asks.

"Eleanor it'll be fine. Don't worry I'll face time, and chat with you guys daily okay"

"Okay Nona". Eleanor replies with a long face.

"Xavier please be careful when driving on the road and Xander be a good boy okay.

" Yes Nona". They say in unison

"And Scarlett"

I feared it would come to this... I've been hoping that Nona leaving is just a joke or a prank but apparently...

It's not.

"Please continue being an A - lister.. Oh and make sure you work hard enough to get to states"

She whispers the "to get to states" knowing well that my parents have no idea that I'm a boxer.. They'll prolly want me to quit if they find out.

Not like I would quit anyways.

"Why are you sounding like you're going to be gone for longer than 3 months?". I ask

"Scarlett darling God is the omni knoweth only he knows what will really happen"

"Okay kids your Nona has to go now.. Smart is waiting for you Isabella". Mum chips in

Isabella is Nona's real name but we all got used to calling her Nona instead.

"Bye darlings. I love you all"

"We love you too Nona"

And with that she leaves the house.. She takes a look back at all of us and tears come out of her eyes. She shoots us a fake smile and then walks away.

My siblings and I walk at her back and watch her enter into the car she shoots another fake smile while Mr Smart starts the gear and zooms off.

I know Nona wayyyy to well to know when she's giving a fake smile..

But why is she giving a fake smile? What's happening? Is there something my siblings and I don't know about?

What exactly is happening??!

"Wow. She's gone". Xavier says.

"It'll be fine kids". Our mum says.

I walk up the stairs leaving my family to whatever discussion is about to take place between them.

I find myself walking along the corridor upstairs. I look at my side and find myself outside Nona's room.

I turn the doorknob with hope that the door isn't locked and walk in. I sit on her bed and start to reminisce about my moments with Nona.

I remember when Nona first came, all my siblings liked her but I never did. She would always give me breakfast in bed, help with my assignments but even with that I still didn't like her.

My parents would always try their best to get me to like her but nothing ever worked.. Even Tyler liked her and he'll tell me that she's a good person and that I should appreciate her and blah blah. But 5 year old me never listened mainly cause our last maid before Nona stole from us. After that I didn't want any other maid again.
