Zach's POV
I got up the next morning at 5:30. Well, my mom woke me up.
"Zach! Get up!" She yelled from downstairs. "Your flight is leaving later today!"
I got out of bed and started getting dressed.
"Zach did you hear me?"
"Yes!"
"That's 'Yes ma'am' to you!"
"Yes ma'am!"
I got dressed and fixed my hair, washed my face and brushed my teeth.
I finished packing my last few things. In the last half of my last suitcase I filed up with memories.
I put pictures of my sister, Jeany, she was 4. I put a picture of my mom, my younger self, and a picture if me and Jay.
I saw one last picture and I didn't know what it was. I pulled it out and it was a picture of my dad.
Four years ago, when I was 12, my dad ran away with some French hooker. I hated him! He stole most of my mom's money and left us in debt. To make up worse, my mom was pregnant with Jeany. I hated him so much!
I held the picture remembering all the times he cussed me out and stole my food that I was eating forcing me to starve. Why did I have this picture?
I took the picture out and threw it into the fire place. I watched it burn and felt instant relief.
I brought my suitcases down and waited by the door.
Jeany ran down the stairs crying.
"Don't leave me brother! Pwease!"
"I wish I could stay jeany!"
"Why can't you?" She pleaded.
"Mom wants me to go to England. I love you Jeany!"
"No! Please stay I love you!"
I felt tears running into my eyes. I picked her up and wrapped her in a hug. She wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and cried.
"Please be good for me! I'll come back soon! Okay."
"Okay."
She ran to her room and came back with a little box.
"I made you something big brother!" She opened the box and there was a leather bracelet with a cross on it.
"Oh, it's so pretty!" She was always great with making things.
She wiped her beautiful face. When she was older she was going to break many guys hearts.
"I love you Zach!"
"I love you too Jeany!"
She wrapped her arms around my leg and refused to let go. I picked her up and held her tiny figure in my arms. I sat down on the couch with her hanging on my neck.
"Zach come on! We're going to be late!" She yelled I let go of Jeany and grabbed my bags.
She started bawling. "Momma! Don't make brother go!"
She ignored her own daughter and slammed the door shut. She locked it and threw my stuff in the car.
Jeany reminded her of my dad so much she almost put her up for adoption. But she didn't because she loved her.
We drive in silence until the airport. When we got there she unlocked the door and told me to get out as she handed me the ticket.
"Tell Jeany I said bye and that I love her." I said.
"Okay, bye son."
"Bye mom."

Jay's POV
I woke up at 5 am. I got dressed in comfy clothes. I brushed my hair and put in in a bun, did my makeup and brushed my teeth.
I packed the remaining things and brought everything downstairs.
My mom was still getting ready so I played with Sparky. He knew I was leaving.
He sat in my lap and whined. I pet him and held him close.
My mom came down and I cried.
I packed my stuff in the car and we drive to the airport. I cried the entire time.
When we got there I dried my eyes and my mom kissed me good-bye. She gave me some money to starts it with and u looked for security.
I made it through no problem.
I made my way to my plane and took my seat. All I could think about was my dad and Zach.
My dad would never allow this! He would let me stay in my home!
I would never see Zach or my friends again!
"Can I sit here?" Asked a sad voice.
I nodded my head. I still looked out the window. The person took a seat next to me and put his head in his hands.
I looked over at him. It was Zach! I threw my arms around him and he looked at me with surprise.
"Jay?!" He exclaimed.
"Zach!"
We hugged and kissed until we took off.
This was a sign we should be together!
"Maybe we could stay in England together!" He said.
"How?"
"My mom gave me some money to start with."
"Same." I said.
"Maybe we could rent a little apartment together!" He exclaimed.
"Yes! That's a great idea! But what if our moms find out?"
"They won't!" He said. "Trust me!"
"Okay."
