Ok so I wasn't prepared when I find out that I have an uncle in Japan and that once that happened I was shipped off to Japan before I was able to say no.

Ok so my name is Anne I'm from America and I'm 1/8 Japanese.

"Hey mom, dad, Grant, Kimmy, and Rose. You ready to go yet?"

My 15th birthday party and the worst day of my life. We were going out to eat and the next thing I knew was lying on the pavement, hot and sticky under my clothes, 15 feet from the car. The last thought that went through my head before everything went dark was my family and if they were alive or not. Next thing I knew was a beeping noise and everything being white and plain.

"I think she's waking up get the doctor"

Then I heard scuffing of feet on the floor leaving the room in a rush.

"Uhhh"

"Anne if you can hear me say so"

"Yes"

Uggg my voice sounds so scratchy and horse I'm surprised I can talk at all.

"You're going to Japan to live with your uncle there because your parents knew how much you loved their music so that's where you are going"

"Where are my parents"

Talking so soft the nurse had to lean over to hear me.

"You weren't told were you?"

"what are you talking about I just woke up?"

"Your parents and brother and sisters died instantly when the car hit we are amazed because you lived and you got the full impact……..."

I didn't hear any of that after. I just heard the fact that my family had died because I wanted to go out to eat for my birthday and now…now they're gone out of my life never to come back and its all my fault if I didn't want to go out to eat so much they would still be here and we would be at home and ..and.

After a little bit the nurse saw that I was crying and stop talking seeing the impact of the news so she left and let me alone in my own little world.


2 weeks have passed since then it's still fresh in my mind but right now I'm at the airport to leave for Japan so I can go for the music for my parents. Yay, a long time on a plane just what I need now. Not. The only thing with me to bring on the plane is my laptop and headphones so I can go over the music I have made and listen to other music from other people.

Ok fact that most people don't know about me is that I'm a prodigy at any insterment you put in front of me piano, guitar, violin, cello, flute, trumpet, and many more but my favorite is the trumpet and how it can give you energy because normally I'm the hyper go lucky person, and not like just pick up and play like I can blow your mind away while playing. Well back to the story. So getting on the plane and leaving all my friends behind is not the easiest thing in the world.

"Bye guys call whenever I can or I'll e-mail you ok but don't forget about me"

I don't think they can forget about me I have like the whole school here to say goodbye because like I told you I am the hyper go lucky person and everyone loves me.

"Anne, really I don't think anyone can forget about the you!"

Ok Chloe was my bestest friend in the world and she knows that I will be back or at least I will come back famous and she knows I can't forget about her so I promise that if I come back to the states that I HAVE to go and visit her. So she is probably the only happy person here because she knows how much music is to me so she is letting me go.

"Goodbye everyone, I love you all and I will come back famous and give you all tickets to my shows ok so this is my last time with you all enjoy and be happy!"

Ok now the hard part not looking back because if I do I won't be able to leave just keep moving my feet left right left right wait till you're on the plane to look back because once I'm on I can't look back.

"Sigh. Safe and now to my seat."


I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know we are land right in Japan. Now I just need to change to Japanese. My parents wanted me to learn so when they did take me or I went here I could talk to people without being clueless. I wonder where my uncle is.. wait spoke too soon I see a sign with my name.

"Ummmm I'm Anne"

I said pointing to the sign.

"Oh come this way"

Ok this man is not my uncle so who is he. Ok I think I know he is the driver cause that's where he is leading me and he already has my bags wow that was quick.

"So where is this uncle that I have never known about in my life?"

"He is waiting for you in the car."

"ok"

Ok this guy really needs to lose the stupid monotone because it's not cool and sooooo boring to listen too. Ok not expecting this; a limo is where he is taking me ok parents need to tell me I have a rich uncle.

"This it?"

"Hai."

So he opens the door and I still didn't know his name. Oh well I don't even know my uncles name.

"Oh hello Anne it's good to finally meet you. My name is Chister but you can call me Chris ok."

"ok then that is fine with me. Now where am I going to school again?"

"Seiso Academy for music."
