"Snow wake up, We have to catch our flight if we wanna make it home today." Sarah says shaking me. I open one eye and peak out at her and see her smiling face, it is way too early for someone to be that happy. It also hits me what she said about "if WE wanna make it HOME today" I try not to look annoyed but I'm probably not pulling that off well.
I mutter out something that sounds like "Urg" while pulling the covers back over my head; I close my eyes again, only to have the blankets ripped off me. I know eventually I have to move on but I can't get used to waking up without them in my life, plus if I wake up today I have to leave and it's going to hurt too much to do that. I don't want to pretend that it's not happening but I also know I can't just dwell on it, I can mourn but I have to make sure it doesn't consume me.
"Come on Snow my boys are dying to meet you! I've told them so much about you... well not really but they know of you I guess" She starts chuckling to herself and my eyes slowly open and I question what she just said,
"Boys... As in plural?" It's probably just 2 or 3 but still having more than one boy in the house could be intimidating.
"Yeah... I have 11 of them... Didn't you know? I thought I had mentioned it." My jaw falls slightly open.
"11 boys!? No Sarah you did not mention that I think I would have remembered that one very important detail. Are you serious right now?" I ask not bothering to hide my shocked expression.
"Yes..." Her answer makes me groan and I can't help thinking, out of everyone my parents could have left me with they choose to leave me with 11 boys?! It's going to be hard enough without my own siblings now I have 11 boys I don't even know coming into my life.
"What are their names?" I say grumbling; I stand up and walk over to the outfit I had laid out. I grab the clothes and walk into the bathroom. She calls from the outside of the door,
"Ok I'll go oldest to youngest."
"Sam Logan- 22
Alex Logan- 20
Lucas and Ross Logan- 19 (first set of twins)
Josh Logan- 18
Kyle Logan- 17
Cole Logan- 16
Ryan Logan- 14
Justin Logan and Marcus Logan- 12 (twins)
And finally Jake Logan- 6"
"That's a lot of boys... How am I supposed to memorize all that?" I wonder out loud. I walk out of the bathroom and she laughs,
"Its okay they will CONSTANTLY remind you. Well anyway, I guess we can talk more on the plane but you need to get ready, we have to leave soon. Make sure you have everything and don't worry about the clothes you didn't pack yet, I'll take you shopping." I look over and wonder how she pays for 11 now 12 kids,
"Sarah this is a rather personal question and I probably already know the answer but what do you and your husband do for a living?" She laughs at the slight blush forming on my cheeks.
"Oh honey that's not personal at all! But, my husband is a movie producer/ director, and I am an actress/ singer!" she says her whole face lighting up. I mentally face palm myself.
"Of course! My mom mentioned that once! She thought it was amazing that you were doing what made you happy." I say the sadness starting to eat me up again. My mom used to talk so highly of Sarah and her husband and at the time I had no idea who they even were.
"Oh honey don't be upset what would your mama say?"
"I-" I started but I was cut off.
"She would want you to be strong for her and your family. She would want you to move on!"
"Maybe I don't want to forget them!" I shout at her. I haven't even noticed I was crying until the tears land in my lap. I watch as her face softens,
"I never said forget them, I said move on. She would want you to move on with your life and be happy. She would have wanted you to have a life even though she can't be here to see it. Your Mom loved you very much." wanting to change the topic I say,
"When is our flight?" she looks as if she wants to say something else but she opens her mouth and then closes it again doing it several times before saying,
"We should be getting to the airport in about 30 minutes, so we should get going. Do you have everything?" I look into my bag and I'm just about to say yes when,
"No not yet but you can go I'll be back in a few minutes." She nods and walks off. I look around in my room and then walk into my sister's room...old room. I go to her bed and drop to the floor pulling out a box; I take out the scrap books we made together a long time ago. One of them is half empty so I go over to her walls and take the pictures she took. That's the thing about my sister... She always had a camera with her. Our whole family thought one day she would end up becoming a world famous photographer one day. Now that will never happen. I notice the camera on the bed in its case and I grab it. I look around and I release one last sob and walk back into my room. I collect all my pictures and do the same with my mom's room. I want to remember as much as I can. I hope I never forget. I walk down stairs and Sarah is waiting for me. She sees the scrap books and asks,
"What are those?" I give a slight smile,
"The key to remembering." She gives me a puzzled look but I just shrug my shoulders and give a slightly awkward laugh. The rest of the day is uneventful except for the fact that we almost missed the plane thank god we didn't though. Sarah and I both fell asleep on the plane and we are now currently waiting to get off of it. I remember wondering why someone as famous as her didn't have a private jet I mean people were practically drooling over her.
"Oh I don't have a plane because I want my fans to think of me as a normal person! I love connecting with them so that's a bonus!" Wow did I really just say that out loud?!
"Yep you sure did!" she looks at me and we both start laughing.
"Well then I guess I should learn to not do that..." She looks at me one last time before stepping off the plane. Just as I get off I hear,
"MOOM!!" I look towards the noise and my jaw drops as two gorgeous boys come running our way.
The boys all tackle their mom and then one by one look at me. Each boy has a different emotion in their eyes and I can't really read what it is. The one who I presume to be the cocky one speaks first.
"Well well mom. Who might this be?" He says smirking.
