Wherever you go, think of your dreams. Remember that dreams become the life you lead.
" Mckennah you had better be up there unpacking. " My brother, Chris called up to me.
I turned my radio off and went downstairs. " I don't wanna move. " I whined as soon as I got to the living room.
I was informed two days ago that I'm being sent to Hicksville, USA to live with " family. "
Chris sighed. " Your father just died Kennah. Just think of what your other siblings are going through. And now with Dana skipping out on our daughter, I have to work full time and take care of Toni. "
Oh yeah, my " other siblings. " I'm the product of an affair between their dad and my mom. When his wife found out about my mom's pregnancy she did everything she could to make sure that he stayed with her, including getting pregnant with Elena. Making me only three months older than my half-sister.
I know I should be sad that I never got to meet the man, but there's no use in crying over a man who never knew me. Sighing I started helping him pack my things. Walking to my vanity I started taking down pictures of me, mom, and Chris at various stages in our lives. Christmas, vacations, birthdays, and school pics. Knowing that both of the people that made me are gone kind of hurts.
Stop! You are gonna make the best of this. Your siblings may not like you, but at least its a new start. It was hard growing up known as the " strippers " daughter. It didn't matter that my mother always took good care of her children. All that mattered was that she took her clothes off for money. Soon she fell into a deep depression and drank herself to death. It was very hard to watch.
I sighed again and got back to packing. When I finished packing my dresser up I looked at myself in the mirror. The silver heart-shaped pendant that my great-grandmother left me was more pronounced against my chest that it has ever been. It was hallowed with intricate designs on it. When I was little there was some kind of smelly plant in it, but after so long it wilted and died. It's the only thing I have left of her.
Looking at the clock I realized I spent six hours getting everything done in time. I slid into my bed hoping for a good nights sleep. My flight to Mystic Falls is early.
