Me Sis

Moving

I shut the moving truck door with a sigh knowing that the three hours we spent to load it would be as long as unloading it. I push my self as close as I can to the truck passenger door. Letting my sister Makena and my stepmother Holly have some more space.

I hate ridding in small spaces. It just reminds me of how big i am. But I have always been a plus size girl. Even in my baby pictures I was. So I am used to it.

One thing I am not used to is the things people will say to me because I am 'bigger' then them. I mean they should be scared. If I sit on them there dead.

Im getting carried away.

Before I get back on topic I should warn y'all. I am like a five year old i can't stay on topic. To the reader's i wish you good luck.

I turn to my window after buckling my seatbelt. I hear the radio turn on. My sister and stepmother laughter was what I heard booming over a familiar song. When I look at them I am hit with a terrible smell.

Makena has her nose plugged while the culprits face is a little pink from either laughing to hard or from embarrassment. It's hard to tell which.

Holly gives another smile then looks at me smuggle saying "Delia, your gross."

I make a funny face and say " sorry I had to."

Holly rolls here eyes. Makena gives me an high five while making a note to Holly that it's at least not as bad as uncle Nasty.

Uncle nasty is my dad but her uncle. Now before you start making up crazy conclusions about the math of her being my sister let me explain.

Makena is actually my cousin. We have been raising her and her two little brothers for many years. I'm not sure when we started to call each other sisters. It's just so normal now even to our cousins and grandparents that no one even questions it anymore.

I actually call her me sis. Now I know she is the one that started the me sis thing not me. Nun the less i have grown to love the phrase me sis.

We took her and her brother's in because her grandparents needed some help after raising them because there mother no longer could. There dads were never really in the picture either. They were there but not never enough.

So my great, wonderful stepmother Holly took them in.

Holly didn't know the impact these three children we're going to have on use but I am so happy she took them in.

See I did it again. Good thing about this supper long sidetracked moment is that you at least learned something.

Right?

Me and Makena look at each other then back to Holly and start cracking up. We both new way to well how right she was about my dads farts.

Holly turns to use letting out a low laugh saying " you dorks."

After a few minutes of laughing and stories about my dads terrible farts we were singing high pitch to the song on the radio. The song ends and the next starts. Me, Makena, and Holly start to sing along.

Makena and I are acting out funny dance moves to each new song even if we didn't know them. For the commercials we are taking turns acting like we are the person on the radio.

Song after song, add after add we slowly start to wind down taking in our surroundings. While I am looking out the window i can hear another song starting up again. The two start to sing but instead of me joining in i just sit and listen.

It wasn't until now that I felt a terrible realisation of this being the last day that we were considered living together. That my sister wouldn't be in the same house as me when I woke up.

She wouldn't be there when I wanted to talk to someone at night. Not there to play minecraft with me for hours on end.  She wasn't going to sleep in my room anymore like old times. We wouldn't get up in the morning and make breakfast together.

It all hit me at once. And it hit hard. Really hard. I bit my lip and turned towards the window a little more. I didn't want them to see me cry.

Today was the last day because Makena, Terrell, and Zechariah were going back to live with there grandparents.

I hear the truck stop and Makena telling me to "Hurry up and get out you gizzard."

I get out laughing trying to make it seem like I wasn't upset. I turn to see this yellow house.

I didn't know it yet but this house was nothing close to an ordinary house.
