When we left my wonderful Father crying on the porch of the house, we started our 3 day journey to Florida. I wish I could say it was an epic adventure, but it wasn't. I was stuck in the front seat asleep the entire time. The only reason I was asleep is my hateful Mother gave me that benadryl, or maybe it was melatonin, that makes you fall asleep.
When I woke up we were there in Florida. We had arrived to the house Mother was talking about, her boyfriend's Mom's house. My Mother got out of the car so she could go say hi to Brian, meanwhile I was struggling to get out of the car seat because I didn't feel to good. Brian's Mom came to help me get out because she saw how I was having such a difficult time. When I finally got out I puked.
"Unpack and clean the car." Brian and my Mother both said at the same time.
Thankfully I didn't have to because Mrs. Thomas told her son "She is obviously sick, she has a fever, she needs rest. So be the Man and unpack the car Brian. And you, Dallas, need to clean up after your child, and take care of her the way a mother should. So hurry up clean the puke up, so you can take care of your Daughter."
They both begrudgingly did as they were told. While my new angel brought me inside to take my temperature to see how high my fever was.
I was sent to my room and instructed to snack on frozen saltines and sip flat coke. I did as I was told and later fell asleep.
When I woke up heard voices that I was unfamiliar with. I walked out of the room to find out what was going on and saw a tall, scary, boy with short brown hair and a pretty, medium height girl with long dirty blond hair that looked like it was died with yellow highlighter. They both looked like they where teenagers.
I froze unsure of who these teenagers where. The tall boy turned around and saw me. He signaled the girl, they obviously knew each other really well. I looked to my Mother for help. They moved out of the middle of the hallway. I bolted behind my mother.
"Mavrick and Jasmine, this is my daughter, Victoria. Tori these are Brian's children." Mavrick, I thought, that must be the boy.
Mavrick tried to give me a hand shake but I ran to hide in my room. A few minuets later I herd a soft knock and a feminine voice ask if she could open the door. It was Jasmine. I was not sure if I should answer but she said she wanted to play a game. I couldn't resist I let her in. I tried to shut the door before Mavrick walked in and failed.
Jasmine pulled out a game I had never herd of before. It was called brake the ice. It had a little Penguin on a plastic ice cube and a bunch of ice cubes you fit into a small square. The goal of the game was to get the most ice without killing the penguin.
I wasn't talking much because I was afraid of scary Mavrick. Jasmine realized this.
"Tori did you have any siblings?" Jasmine asked so she could break the ice. (Present day: Ha a pun.)
I started to cry and say I had 2 brothers who were older then me. She hugged me, she had one of those hugs that make you feel safe. She told me I would see them again. I didn't believe her but she got me to talk.
They had to leave after a few rounds of Break the Ice. They told me to enjoy my week at school and that they would see me the next weekend. I was naturally confused by that because I thought we didn't start school in September not August.
The next day I started school.
