21: Time to Go
"Ryanie, it's time" My mam said as I looked up from the TV screen to see my family standing at the door with their bags.
I silently stood up, switched off the TV, grabbed my bag and walked out the door behind my family.

The drive was silent. I think, in a way, everyone was coming to terms with what was about to happen. I just listened to some music on my iPod while I looked out the window. American scenery is really different to Irish landscapes. It's much less green…

"Aer Lingus flight 67, boarding in two hours; Gate 22, luggage check no. 4" My Grandad said as he relayed the information on the screen above.
"Number 4 is over there" My aunt said, pointing to the right.
"This is it so" My Grandad said.
My mam and I began to tear up.
I ran to my Grandad and hugged him tightly, then moving to my nanny and aunts.
"I'm going to miss you all so much. I know we've spent the last few weeks fighting, and I'm so sorry for that, but I love you all and I can't believe I'm not going to see you all every day." I said as I cried. My mam walked over and began to hug them too.
"I know Ryan, but this is what's best for you. We were being selfish before. We'll still visit each other. And Jennifer is going to try and set up that Facebook thing for us so we can keep in contact without all the phone bills." My Grandad said.
I nodded as my eyes began to dry slightly.
"Be careful ok. We love you. You can always come home if it doesn't work out here" My aunt said.
"We know. Thank you for understanding. We're going to miss you all so much" My mam.
"This is the last call for anyone checking in to American Airlines flight 277 to New York"
"That's us." My mam said as she looked at the screen to find the right way to go. "We're desk no. 1".
"Be good" My Grandad said as he and the rest of family smiled. "Bye for now".
My mam and I smiled, giving them each one last hug before turning around and walking to desk no. 1.
New York, here we come.
