Crash And Burn

I let out another loud sigh and my mom turned around and gave me a playful glare.

"Once again sweetheart, that sigh won't stop us from moving to Bradford." My mom points out. I roll my eyes, adjusting my seat on the couch. I watch the moving men pick up our kitchen table.

"But I have friends here!" I pout. My mom lets out another laugh as Marisa walks in. "Oh good! Marisa tell mom how much you would love to stay." I beg knowing that Marisa was mom's favorite.

" Sorry Sadye, but I'm with mom. Bradford is going to be a good change for us. Plus, I can't wait to see Auntie!" Marisa smiles her million dollar grin. I cross my arms and fall into the couch.

"Mersadyes get up and help out. If you don't, we'll miss our flight." Mom yells at me.

"Good, then I won't help." I respond. Mom turns to me and lifts an eyebrow. That was enough to get my butt up and help.

"What's this?" I ask finding a box full of old pictures. The specific one that caught my eye was a younger mom holding a baby. Mom quickly snatched it out of my hand.

"It was, um, you when you were a baby." She stutters. I nod and shrug it off continuing to pack up boxes into the moving truck.

After we finished packing mom rushes us into the car to make it to our flight on time.

"Why are you rushing us? We still have an hour." I complain. Mom was driving and didn't turn, but I knew she was mad.

"Mersadyes Laila Hunter! If you complain one more time..." She stops mid sentence and just shakes her head. I felt bad... Mom and I barely fought.

"Sorry." I muttered. Marisa turned to me and smiled.

"It's fine, Hun." Mom apologizes. I smile as we drove to the airport. Turns out the drive there was longer than an hour and we had to run to the plane. After we got on, we just sat and relaxed.

Seems like it was the last time I got to honestly relax.
