I packed the last of my bags, looking around my room for the last time. I sucked in the tears that threatened to rush out, I begged my parents to let me stay in the Caribbean while they leave. But it was obvious what they said.

No.

I honestly didn't mind going up to the U.S, I just wanted to finish my high school years here. In the Caribbean. On the island where I live. In the school where I've made most of my high school memories. And where all my friends are. How am I expected to go up there for my senior year, like who honestly does that.

"Thena geh yuh ass outside yuh room." Ah yes my older brother Ares, screaming my name from across the house. I rolled my eyes closing my door, walking through our joint room, I sighed. Damn, I was really going to miss this place. I looked at my sister who was on her phone texting, and my brother who refused to pack up his gaming console until the very last second.

"Athena I know it's hard for us to move during your senior year but you don't have to look at the downside." I looked at my mom with a blank look, I knew she was just trying to cheer me up, unfortunately it wasn't working. It being 5 am didn't help my attitude in any way.

"Annise leave her, she'll live." My dad was always blunt and quite frankly couldn't give a fuck about anyone except his family. I've always been a daddy's girl per say since he was always the go to guy when I wanted something. I plopped on the couch next to my sister Althea, she was my best friend.

Most days.

I laid my head on her lap and my feet on my brother who slapped my foot off of him many times. I was the middle child, my sister was fifteen and my brother was twenty. My mom and dad always told us they wanted children who were close in age, I just say 'you guys just fucked too much'.

Never out loud though, I didn't need a slap to my mouth.

"Do you think he's hot?" My sister asked me for the fifth time, I refused to answer if a fourteen year old boy was hot.

"Thea, meen no pedo."I rolled off of their laps onto the floor, I laid there and sighed loudly.

"Doan start." My mother already started scolding me. I sighed even louder.

"Child get up let's go." My dad finally said after finishing his steaming cup of coffee, that man has burnt off all of his taste buds. It's why I never let him make tea for me anymore, the cup of tea would be giving me a full steam out and he would stand there and say it isn't that hot.

My sister kicked me in my side as she got up from the couch, I sucked my teeth. Her stupid laugh just echoed through the house. I got up walking to my dad's black tinted ram, I threw it in the four suitcases before climbing in the back with them. I learned earlier that riding in the back of a pickup truck is illegal in the states, it was another reason why I loved it here.

I trudged into the huge two floor house, it was late. My body was tired and sore from my sister and brother laying on me the whole flight. I turned around to ask my dad where my room was, I looked around to hear his voice far outside. There was no way, I was walking all the way outside. Call me lazy, it is what it is.
