The Distance

Another boring day at school, same old faces, sometimes I wish something would change!!

I woke up to my 12 year old brother Matthew, screaming happy birthday.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes and pulled my blonde long wavy hair, into a low pony tail.
I walked down stairs to find my family, sitting at the table eating breakfast. On the table were 5 presents and a letter.
I up to my dad and younger brother, they both give me a huge hug and wish me a Happy Birthday.
"Would you like to open you presents?" My dad ask me softy. I nod my head, I take a sit next to Matthew.
I slide my hand towards the letter, but my dad's hand stops me.
"Read the letter last" my dad tells me.
I open my present, I got clothes, perfume, new iPhone, books and make- up.
Dad slide the letter over to me, also asked Matthew to leave the room.
I started to wonder why.
Then I started to read and couldn't believe what I was reading ...
