Chapter 1
Announcement
Two years later
A woman with brown hair that went past her shoulders and ocean blue eyes with a black shirt and pants sat on the bench at the park and black tennis shoes. She had very pale skin and she was so slim it almost looks like she hadn't eaten in days. She looks up and saw how gray the sky was and notices that the wind was blowing. The woman rubbed her arms with her hands.
I should have worn a jacket. Thought the woman.
"Tea!" Said a woman's voice.
The woman turns her head and saw a woman with golden blonde shoulder length hair and big green eyes. She had on a green shirt with a blue jacket and blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
"Heather." Said the woman.
Heather walk right up to the woman. She gave her biggest smile that could light up anyone's day.
"Here you are Tea." Said Heather.
"Hey Heather, what's up." Said Tea.
Heather had been Tea's best friends since grade school. They both had hang out with each other through good and bad. Tea and Heather had started to get more friends in their group, but ever since the death of Tea's grandmother. Tea started to grow distant from her friends and Heather was the only who stuck by her even through Tea's change in clothes.
"Everything is fine with me, Tea, but how are you doing?" Asked Heather.
Tea looks up at the grayish sky and how it seemed to have darkened. The wind blew and her hair moved toward where the breeze blew. She seemed to be looking for the sun at the moment.
"Everything is fine." Said Tea.
"Are you sure?" Asked Heather.
"Yeah." Answer Tea giving Heather a half hearted smile.
Heather knew not to press on the matter. So Heather sat by Tea on the bench and look up at the sky to. The two girls looked up at the sky for a couple minutes. Heather turns her head towards Tea.
"Tea." Said Heather rather softly.
Oh grandma I miss you so much. I wish you were here with me. Life is just not the sa-
"Tea!" Yelled Heather.
Tea gives a little jump and turns her head towards Heather.
"Glad to finally get your attention, but your dad call and he wants you to come home straight away." Said Heather.
"What for?" Asked Tea.
"All he said that it had something to do with work." Answer Heather.
Heather and Tea both got up from the bench and headed for Tea's home.
"Thanks again for inviting me to your house for dinner again. Though I feel like I shouldn't always come over especially when you guys should have family alone time." Said Heather.
"Heather you are part of the family and you deserve to eat with us." Said Tea.
Tea swung her arm around Heather and smile.
"Nothing will ever separate." Said Tea.
"I hope not." Said Heather.
Tea and Heather finally arrive at Tea's house. Tea reached in her pocket and pulls out a key and unlocks the door allowing Heather to enter first then herself.
Dinner was on the table. Tea's dad and mom sat at the table Tea's mom held her two month old baby brother. The baby was being fed some baby formula. Tea's baby brother had light blonde hair like Tea's dad and blue eyes like their mom. He also had the cutest laugh. Tea's dad had blonde hair, light green eyes, and very dark skin. Tea's mom had light brown hair, ocean blue eyes, and light color skin. Tea took her seat next to her mom and Heather took a seat between Tea and her dad.
"We've been waiting for you Tea." Said Tea's mom.
"Sorry about that mom I was in the park." Said Tea.
"Again." Said Tea's dad.
Tea just nods her head.
I wonder how she'll take the news. It maybe for the best. Thought Tea's dad.
"I'm happy to see you join us again Heather." Said Tea's mom giving Heather a bright smile.
"I'm happy to be here." Answer Heather.
"How's your mom doing?" Asked Tea's mom.
"Oh…They say at the hospital that she is doing better." Answer Heather.
Heather and her mom both lived with each other. Heather has no other family, but her mom. Heather's dad died when Heather was a week old. Heather's mom had gotten breast cancer and got sent to the hospital on Heather's 16th birthday. So Tea's family always asks Heather to come join them for dinner.
Heather, Tea, and Tea's mom ate some of their meal, which was steak and mash potatoes. Tea's dad watched as Tea gently poke at the steak rather than eat it. Tea's took a small bite of his steak.
I'm going to have to tell them. Thought Tea's dad.
Tea's dad tapped on his glass with his fork.
Everyone turns to give him attention.
"I have an important announcement to make." Said Tea's dad.
"It's about work right." Said Tea's mom.
"It is." Said Tea's dad.
"You're getting a bigger paycheck." Said Heather.
"Yes it also involves some…changes." Said Tea's dad.
The word changes caught Tea's attention as she look up from her food to her dad.
"What kind of changes?" Asked Tea.
"I've been move to a higher position…" Said Tea's dad.
"That's great honey." Said Tea's mom.
"In Japan." Said Tea's dad.
Everyone went quiet except for the baby who giggling.
"In Japan." Said Tea.
"Everyone the job position is in Japan. We will have to move this coming up Wednesday." Said Tea's dad.
"Meaning?" Asked Tea.
"Honey we're moving to Japan in two days." Answer Tea's mom.
"How long have you known?" Asked Tea looking directly at her mom.
"Just for three days." Answer Tea's mom.
"I don't want to move." Said Tea.
"Tea we have to. The job position is in Japan." Said Tea's dad.
"And my friend is here in New York. I'm not going." Said Tea crossing her arms.
"We're going to have to in two days. The job has already sold the house and sent your transcripts to a school in Japan." Said Tea's dad.
Tea was on the verge of tears. She got up from the table shaking.
"How could you do this to me." Said Tea.
Tea runs from the table all the way upstairs. Everyone downstairs heard the door slam making Tea's baby brother cry.
"That went terrible." Said Tea's dad.
"I'm sure once we move that Tea will be happy that is where most of our heritage is from." Said Tea's mom.
"I think I should go on and head home." Said Heather getting up from the table.
"You want a ride home?" Asked Tea's dad getting up from the table.
"No thank you Mr. Gardner it's only a couple blocks away." Said Heather.
"Heather your like a member of this family and if anything happen to you I would never forgive myself." Said Mr. Gardner.
Upstairs in Tea's room Tea was pounding into her pillow.
"I will not move! I will not move! Cried Tea.
Oh grandma I wish you were here. You knew just what to say. Thought Tea going into a deep sleep.
