Who Am I?

Chapter four

It's been two weeks since my dad asked me if I was leaving with him or staying here and I've decided I'd go with him. I'd still have school and I could FaceTime my grandmother and Cody whenever. I'm really scared to be traveling because I've never done it before and it's really new to me. Right now I'm packing up all the things I would need like my clothes, computer, personal items, books for school and of course my camera and photo album. Everything else that I don't need is just going to stay here for when I come and visit home. I'm going to miss everyone here. I feel bad for leaving my grandmother all alone. While I'm packing I find an old photo of me and my mom. I sit down on the floor and look at the picture. It was taken when we found out she had cancer. She wanted a picture of us before the cancer changed her. In the picture she's sitting on the ground and I'm on her lap.She was so pretty and nice. I couldn't of asked for a better mother. I stand back up after wiping a few tears that have fallen off my face and sets the photo next to my bag and goes back to packing. My grandmother comes up and knocks on my door. 

"It's open." I say taping up the last box

She comes in and she's holding a small shoe box in her hands.

" Mom mom what's that" I ask confused

" These are letters your mom wrote to you while you were growing up and some more pictures of her." She says holding it out for me

I grab the box and sits down on my bed and opens it. It's filled of papers so much a couple papers even fall out.

"She liked the idea of writing letters to you because she said that if she does it'll be like she was still here." She says

" I can't wait to read them all." I say putting the papers that fell out back in and closes it

" Angel I know you feel bad about leaving but you don't have to. Go out and live your life and be with your dad. I knew you would go with him when your mom and dad made that deal anyway. So you have nothing to worry about." She says

" Promise?" I ask 

" Pinky promise." She says

I giggle a little and hugs her.

" Thank you so much for taking care of me. " I say

" Your my only grandkid I couldn't of just let you fend for your self on the streets and besides we had lots of great times together." She says

" Maybe now that I'm leaving you can go out and find yourself a man." I say laughing 

" Maybe I will maybe I won't. The world may never know." She says laughing to

" I'm going to miss you." I say

" Yeah I'm going to miss you to. It's getting late so why don't we head to bed you have a big day tomorrow." She says

" Yeah I am pretty tired from packing all day." I say 

" Good night Angel. I'll see you in the morning." She says leaning over and kisses my forehead

" Night mom mom. I love you." I say

" I love you to." She says as she leaves

I don't bother changing clothes as I am in leggings and a t shirt so I go and brush my teeth then jumps into bed. I'm so nervous about flying. I've never even been on a train so this is definitely going to be new for me. Sandy jumps up onto the bed and lays close to me. I pet her head.

" You nervous to girl?" I ask her

She barks once.

" Yeah I am to. But it's going to be ok we have each other and I know you won't be leaving me any time soon and I won't be leaving you so you have nothing to worry about." I say
