Those Blue Eyes (A Skiren Story)

1:Leaving Home (Skilar)

"I still don't understand why you have to move all the way to Nashville" I hear my older brother Sage whine for the millionth time. I roll my eyes while continuing packing.

"How many times have I explained this to you, nine?" I asked while turning around to glare at him.

"One more time please? To make it an even ten?" he asked with his infamous puppy dog eyes that no one can resist.

"Ughh, fine. But I'm only explain this one more time. My manager wants me to move to Nashville because he thinks that my music career will go a lot further if I lived there."

Just as I finished explaining that to my idiot of a brother, Sage's twin sister Sloan walked in. "I've come to help you help pack, Sky. I figured this moron wouldn't be much help" she says with a small smile.

"Excuses, excuses. You just want to be around the awesomeness that is known as Skilar Anderson while you can" I say while striking a superhero pose near the end. Sloan just rolls her eyes with now a big smile on her face while Sage says, "Yea, if awesomeness is being an extremely gay,dorky country singer that has an unhealthy obsession with the band, Cimorelli, I think you're it." I stick my tongue out at him and get back to packing my now almost empty shelves of books. After they calm down from laughing, which might I add was about ten minutes, they finally help me pack. We don't talk that much until we're done.

*****

After what felt like an eternity, We finally finish packing the little stuff that I have and put it into my truck, since I would be driving the, roughly, eight hours it takes to drive from where I live in Florida to Tennessee.

"That took so long!" Sage says while dramatically flopping onto the couch and stretching out as much as he can.

"And so much energy!" Sloan says, laying down on the floor. I just roll my eyes at their melodramatics while I sit on Sage's back.

"Hey! I'm trying to lay down here!"

"Well then lay down somewhere else. I want to watch some tv. Plus, you should be used to this by now"

When I'm about to grab the remote off the coffee table, I'm suddenly thrown onto the floor. I sit up and look at Sage who is laughing hysterically and rolling around the couch like a lunatic. I roll my eyes for what feels like the hundredth time today while I get up and sit on the other the other couch.

When I get comfortable, which might I add takes a while because two idiots kept bothering me by throwing stuff and me, my parents finally make an appearance and come downstairs.

"What took you guys so long? Skilar is supposed to leave soon and we didn't want to give her her gift without you guys here" Sloan whines.

"What gift?" I ask.

"Great, Sloan, you ruined the surprise" My mom says sarcastically with a huge smile on her face, "Now you get to go get it from upstairs." Sloan lets out a huge groan, but gets up and goes upstairs to get it. She comes back a couple of minutes later with something wrapped with a bow on top and hands it to me. My parents sit on either side of me while Sage and Sloan on the ground in front of us.

"You know you guys didn't have to get me anything, right?"

"Do you seriously think that we, more specifically me, would let you leave without a going away gift?" my mom says with her signature mom look. I gave her a small smile before I started to unwrap their present,

  When I got off all the wrapping paper, I saw the most beautiful photo album. "I figured we could look through it once before you leave. And if you ever get homesick, you could look through it and remember all of our amazing memories" Sage said. I look up from the photo album to give him a surprised look.
