ARTEMIS||

I heard my mom screaming my name from the kitchen. I sighed in took my cat in my arms, hugging him tight. He purred in my ear as I calmly petted him on his back.

His blue eyes looked at me with something I couldn't understand. "I'm going to miss you, my little baby" I say in a high pitched voice. His fur was as soft as cashmere as i put him down at my dismay.

He looked up, never leaving my face as he meowed and licked my ankle, i tried to make myself believe that it was a goodbye, knowing damn well he was just hungry. He sat on my foot as he cleaned his paws.

"My beautiful soulmate, what will I do without you? Uh?" Knowing that would never have an answer. I took my suitcases with me before giving one last glance at my room.

I went down the stairs to be "greeted" by my beautiful mother waiting for me at the entrance. My heart broke at the thought of being away from her in such a difficult moment. The grief of my sister.

I sadly smiled and put my suitcases in front of the door. Pulling her into a warm hug that we definitely both needed.

"She would've been so proud of you, honey." She said, giving me a kiss on my clothed shoulder. It's always a hard time for us when schools start, because that is the day we found out my sister passed away.

I breathed her hair one last time before she gave me a kiss on the forehead. She was a little taller than me, maybe 2 or 3 inches. She got all the good genes.

"I love you." I felt her relax at my words
before she hugged me tighter. I felt her warmth spread over my body as sadness filled me.

"I love you too Artemis" I knew she wanted to cry, because I did too.

Every year when i had to go to my Academy, i slept there and came back for summer vacations and winter break, but Saying goodbye to my mom was one of the hardest things to do.

But this year it's different since it's the last year. The last year of school before I got into college.

My mom broke the hug as she glanced at the watch on her wrist. ad she started walking to the car, taking my suitcases with her.

I look at the house one last time, remembering the hood and bad memories before leaving the house.

Once the front door closed and my suitcases in the car, I settled into the passenger seat and my mother drove off.

I feel like this year is going to be different.
