Chapter 11
Living out her life
Letty stared out the window, letting her surroundings sink in; she leaned her head against the wall of her room. Did I make the right decision? Is this where I'm supposed to be? What if I had chosen something else? Letty asked herself letting the questions run through her mind over and over again. She looked out the window once more, she walked across the room and picked up the last of her luggage; she made her way out of her room and took one last glance at her room. It looked bare, the bed was made perfectly as it always was, the top of the dressers had nothing on them, the drawers were empty, everything taken out; the closet that was once filled with jeans, shorts and shoes now only held ghost of what once was. She grabbed her board from the wall it was leaning on and took it down the stair with the rest of her baggage.
"Are you ready?" Danny asked as Osvaldo took the last bag and put it in the car.
"Yeah, mom I'm ready," Letty replied taking her surfboard out to the car.
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
Letty stopped dead in her tracks, she let everything she had thought about for the past two weeks sink in; she had made her decision and she was sticking with it, there was no turning back now. "Yes, mom I'm completely and totally sure that this is what I want."
"Alright but your father and I are staying here.as well as your sisters; we will come visit you at least once a month and you can always just turn on the TV during basketball season and watch us."
"Yeah, I know."
"And anyways you'll be spending you time at college, you do have a basketball, and soccer scholarship to twenty different colleges all you have to do is pick one."
"Yeah, only got a few months left."
"Well, we better get going. Your father and I will come with you and help you get settled and we want you to stay in our house there. It's paid off, it's been paid off for years and I want you to have some place to stay while you're there."
"Okay, let's go to the airport."
"Let's go."
They got into the car and drove to the airport; Letty looked out the window watching the scenery that quickly passed her by. She miss everything, everyone but she had to leave she had to live out her life, the life she left behind. Maybe it was the wrong choice, maybe it was the right choice, but she wouldn't know till she actually started living. Osvaldo parked the car and helped Letty load all her luggage onto a luggage cart, "We'll see you in a few days alright, Shakira?" Danny said.
"Yeah, I'll see you guys then," Letty replied as she made her way to baggage check-in. She handed the woman her bags, and then went the figure out what gate she had to wait at. She checked her watch, an hour before her plane left, she took a seat and waited for boarding time.
Once she got on the plane she sat in her seat, she leaned her head against the seat and closed her eyes and went to sleep. She opened her eyes and heard the fight attendant saying, "Ladies and Gentleman we will be arriving in Los Angeles shortly so please fasten your seat belt. We will be landing shortly. Thank you."
Writer's Note: Okay, that's. So how many of you thought Letty was going to Hawaii, come on admit it. Please read and review.
