My mom and I walked passed the beautiful garden and made are way to the front door

My mom knocked on the door, once, twice, three times and brought her hand back to her side. It took a minute for someone to come to the door, but I could here the shuffling of feet in the house. The door quickly flew open, and my mom and I were nearly knocked of the welcome mat by the sound of a loud voice.

"Hello!" Standing in the doorway was a woman with brown hair, with streaks of grey, wearing a light blue summer dress. She had a bright smile that seemed to brighten her face.

"Oh my little sister, I'm so happy to see you!" She quickly and gracefully pulled my mom into a huge hug. Then turned to me and did the same. She then took a step back from both of us. She looked at me for the longest time then switched her gaze to my mom. An even bigger smile seem to spread across her face

"Don't you both just look lovely." I didn't understand what she meant because my mom had the same thing I had on. It was shorts and a comfy, but simple shirt. I thought about her tone of voice and couldn't pick up a hint of sarcasm. Either she was serious or really good at faking people out. I turned to my mom who was smiling what seemed to me a forced smile.

"Hello Etsuko."

There was no "Hi how are you?" or "Good to see you too." I looked at my mom who had her same forced smile and then looked at my aunt. Her smile wavered just a little but she still composed herself. "Well now, won't you come in?" My mom took a long stride to the door and was gone behind my Aunt Etsuko. She smiled at me and I hesitantly walked into the home.

The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. It had smooth wooden floor panels and brightly colored walls. The furniture looked comfy and welcoming and looked brand new. We followed Aunt Etsuko down long hallways and rooms, who was giving us a tour. The sight of this would have been nice except for the fact my aunt wouldn't shut up. She spent the whole time talking about three things: Her daughter, her house, and herself.

I looked at my mom who wasn't to happy about it either. I sent her a pleading look but she kept her eyes on the back of my aunt.

After the long speech on the house Aunt Etsuko led us to a small room, neatly decorated and had the faint smell of lilacs. In the middle of the room was a small table with tea. My mom and I took our seats and waited for Aunt Etsuko to finish pouring the tea.

"Here you are." She said hading me a cup. I took in a deep inhale of breath and could smell that it was jasmine tea. This lightened my annoyed mood a little. My mom seemed to feel the work of the Jasmine tea and seemed to be more relaxed. After a few minutes of indulging ourselves in tea and silence my aunt broke it all.

"Now that we're in a more comfortable place, let us discuss about Maya and her stay here over the summer."

I could feel my peace is shattered and a small groan escaped my lips. Either my aunt ignored me or didn't hear.

"Maya will be staying in our guest room on the second floor. I expect nothing but shear happiness and pleasure from her on this trip."

I translated that into, "Obey me in my house."

"I believe that we will all get along very well. And get to know each other better."

"I want no crap when I'm talking to you."

"I'm positive that she will enjoy her stay and be like a part of the family."

"My house, you go by my rules." I mumbled to myself.

"Come again?"

"Nothing." I murmured. Yep, this was going to be a great summer. I took a sip of my tea and looked to my mom and could see she was getting restless. I sighed.

"Mom you can go." She looked at me surprised. Probably by the fact I was being quiet and not trying to talk my way out of this. I knew she couldn't survive one more speech. She looked at her halved drunk tea and back to me.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, both of us don't have to suffer." I whispered the last part and my mom smiled brightly.

My aunt kept running her big mouth about how soon my mom was leaving, but I could see underneath her smile and sweet voice, that she really didn't care. I walked to our car and got my luggage from the trunk. After getting all of it out, with no help from my aunt, I gave my mom a hug

"Bye mom."

"Bye Maya, be safe. And I don't want to see you on the news saying that you burned down the house." I laughed. I took a step back and smiled.

"Don't worry I'll try to run away instead." She smiled and gave me one more hug, and before I knew it she was gone down the road.

I opened the door to my new room for the summer. It was smaller than all the other rooms, but it was a fairly nice size. The walls were a cream color, and the floors were wooden just like the rest of the house. I dropped my bags on the floor with a loud thud, and jumped on my bed. I spread my arms out on the tan comforter and stared across my room at my only window. I could see that the sun had already set and I probably should be getting ready for bed.

My aunt had told me that her daughter, Emi, would be home late because she was out with friends. I had learned from one of my aunt's long talks that she was sixteen, very smart, very nice, well behaved, and gorgeous. If she was anything like her mother I would already hate her. I glared out the window. I wouldn't just hate her but this whole place. Sure, it's nice to be back home, but I don't want to remember the past. I then forced myself to close my eyes and try to remember what happened to me one more.

I remember I was walking home with him, and then we….another blank. It felt like a part of my memory was raced out. I gave a heavy sigh. All I could remember was was walking with him, then suddenly in my room. My mom stood over my bed that day, she cried for hours saying that she was so happy I was back home. I didn't understand I wanted to to know what happened to me. No, I wanted to know why I couldn't remember some things. Why was I rejected a friendship with someone close to me. Why did this happen to me?

I then tears brimming around my eyes. I used the back of my hands to wipe the fresh tears. I was hopelessly confused, depressed, and hurt. I didn't want to be here, and I didn't have a reason. I wanted the first train out of here and I probably could get one, but a part of me wanted to stay. A part of me wanted answers; like staying here would clear the blanks help me remember……

I heard a loud cheery voice that I have come to hate. I heard her talking, into a phone, about what paintings she would buy from some big auction. She passed by my door not even bringing her voice down, and was down the hallway in a matter of seconds.

Can she get any louder? I could feel a headache coming on. I closed my eyes to drown out her voice that I could still hear faintly. I then felt my muscles relax and felt sleep come over me.
