Aria's pov:

Its been years since I visited my home town. Years since I felt the breeze of the ocean against my flesh. The salty taste in the air that I've missed over the years.

My family and I left from Miami 6 years ago. We owed a lot of people money. Money that my parents would spend on drugs and alcohol. My two older sibilings,  Michael and Jennifer, were my parents most prized possessions. They loved them the most. Everything that my parents did was to benefit them. I knew it was for the best though.. Right? All parents wish the best for their kids.

During the 6 years we were away we moved to 3 different cities. Chicago,  New york and Los Angeles. My parents decided to move back to Miami when my grandmother died. She left a large sum of money to Michael and Jennifer. Both of which had claimed their inheritance. They are over the age of 18. I, on the other hand, had to wait until I was 21 to get it.  It was stated in her will that she had left me the most amount of money and most of her properties.

My grandmother was more of a mother figure to me. She nursed me back to health when I was sick. Read bedtime stories to me when I was a child. She would bake the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. When she died my parents packed up immediately and boarded the first flight back to Miami. I love my parents but it was clear that they were only after Grandma's money.

I just hoped that this time the move would be permanent. That we could finally settle down and be a family. That we could be happy.
