*Sarah's POV*
The front of the house brought a sense of comfort to me, as I hadn't been here in so long. My mother and younger siblings were waiting for us on the porch when we pulled up.
"Sarah! Sam! Daddy!" Mollie called as she ran over, pulling is always into a hug, Matt following closer behind her, smiling at us.
"Welcome back you all. We've missed you so much." My mother said, making her way from the porch to join us on the group hug happening on our front yard. We all stood like that for a good there minutes before Sam spoke up.
"Okay, I love you all too, but I really don't want people to see me like this." My seventeen year old sister headed for the house, calling out behind her. " Aren't you guys coming? You don't wanna sleep out here, do you?"
I wiggled out of the hug, heading in with her to see if my had changed at all. We looked around the house, taking in the small changes. The new pictures on the wall, ones without us in them, the missing pictures of the four of us siblings in Matt's room, replaced with him, Mollie, and their friends, the posters and Barbie videos replacing Mollie's Dora collection she had when she was five. A lot changed in the five years we were gone. Mom and dad managed to make thee long distance relationship work, but we all missed reached dearly. Our rooms, were the only thing that were the exact same as we left them. The ceiling a dark purple, nearly black, with light yellow doors here and there resembling the stars in the sky.
The walls were a background of black, with blue pink and gold designs going up and down. I remember painting the room when I got bored when I was younger, just adding to what was already there. I always did have an artistic side of me. I was only ten when we left, bit the room was nearly covered in the designs. The bed had dark blue shorts, and pink pillow cases on all four of my pillows.
Being here again was a relief. I'd home is where the heart is, then this never stopped being my home, and now I have two. One is in San Fransisco with my team, or, the rest of my team that's not blood relatives. I missed them, even though I had just gotten here. Sighing, I went to grab my things from the yard, since I had left them there in my excitement to be back. Mollie helped my by caring done of my lighter bag to my room, while I carried the two heavier ones. I put everything away before telling her good night as it was already pretty late out. She went to her room to sleep while I got on my computer.
I went to video chat, inviting my friends and Sam, all who's reactions were immediate. They were all on the screen in less than thirty seconds, and I held back a laugh at the excitement on our friend's faces.
"Hey everyone! We're in New York now!" I said, starting up a conversation.
"Well duh, we know you are or you wouldn't have called!" Emma said.
"You don't know that, we might have."
"No, you would wait until you got there! How is it so far? What time is it there?"
"We love being home, and it's ten at night here. We're three hours ahead of you." Sam said, speaking up.
"Yeah, yeah, who cares? Hey Sam! Hey Sarah! What's up?" Alex asked smiling at us. I laughed a little, and he putter, causing Sam to start laughing to.
"We're not really doing anything Alex. Why? Did you need something?" I asked, smiling at the poor boy, knowing what he probably wanted.
"Help with math. Please Sam!" The top of us starting laughing again and Sam told him she would open a different chat for them to work with. I knew they just needed an excuse to talk alone, but I wasn't going to ruin this for them. They left the chat and I looked at the people who hadn't spoken yet. They seemed to be enjoying our little show.
"So, how are you guys coming along? Are you there happy with the team?" I asked.
"Yeah, they're fun, just like you guys." Jessica said smiling.
"Um, I like being a part of this team. They really care about each." Mary said shyly, looking down at her hands.
"Eh, they're alright. It's be better if they stopped talking about you guys for just one second, but I'm sure they'll get used to you all being gone. Where's your old man?" Edan replied.
"He's not in this chat. Him and Mom are getting, um, reaquanted with each other right now."
"Huh. Well, what's on your agenda for tomorrow?"
"Going to a new high school, Mid-town. Not that I'm company. I plan on surprising an old friend or two."
"You get 'em Star!" Emma shouted, using the name they gave me thanks to my fascination with said objects.
"I will. I'm tied, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm gonna go now. I'll call you guys there your after my school ends. Bye!"
*Third person POV*
"Bye!" everyone said as she excited the chat. Sarah took a shower and brushed her knee length brown hair before putting it up in a pony tail. She threw on a blood red t-shirt and grey sweats before beginning her teeth and heading off to her room. As she passed her elder sisters room, the girl came out to do her own night time routine.
Once in the security of her own room, Sarah packed up what show would need for school the next day, putting her sketch book in along with her books. After that, the young girl went too sleep, excited about the day she would have tomorrow and the people she would see once more.
