1 Returning Home

It was my first time in 3 years since Ive been in the U.S, time sure do flies. It felt like just yesterday I was leaving this country.

*Flashback to three years ago*

"Mom are you sure this country will be fun."

My mom just got promoted that means higher pay and we can afford to get whatever we want now, which is pretty cool.

School is the least of my worries because I really don't speak to anyone. I guess you could say Im as silent as the dead, but it makes sense because Silent is my middle name.

"Cat we are going to Italy thats as fun as it gets." My mom said

"Fine mom I'm going to grab my camera and my photo album, be right back." I said just as her phone began to ring, on the other line I heard a guy

"Ms. Christina white have you arrive at the airport...."

I didn't stay to hear the rest I went upstairs to my room. But before I entered, I stopped and took one last look at my door which was painted completed in black with bold teal color words stated WARNING KEEP OUT in the middle. I entered my room, what was once occupied with piles of clothings in the corner of the room is gone. Photographs that used to be scattered all over my desk and walls are no longer there, along with where my cameras used to be. My bed that was almost never made doesn't even look like my bed.

To say I wasn't going to miss home would be the biggest understatement of the year. At school I might be quiet but at home I can be who I want freely without being judged. The only thing I'm going to miss here is my home well enough with this sappy shit where's my photo albu...

"Ooh found it." I grabbed both my photo album and camera and turned it on and I took one last photo of my used to be girl cave where I had eaten all types of god made foods and watched badass movies and played my PS4. Damn

*Click*

I turned the nob of my door and slightly turn around to take another look at my vacant room. I exit my room and ran downstairs.

"What took you so long, the cab outside is waiting." My mom shouted

"Damn I'm going to miss it here" I said while I walked outside with her.

"hon trust me on this, Italy will be the best, you'll see hot guys, a lot of hot guys and mouthwatering food." My mom said

I gave a wholehearted laugh at my mom and this is one of the many reasons why I love her she's just damn amazing. "Aright mom lets go the cab driver is getting irritated"

"aright hon"

We entered the cab and I looked up to a house that once held a million memories but thats alright, fresh new ones are about to start. Like they always say, you can't start a new chapter if you keep rereading the old ones and with that final thought I was off to Italy.

*End of Flashback*

"Ladies and Gentlemen prepare for landing." The pilot spoke.

"Well home sweet home" I said to no one in particular.

*20 minutes later*

I'm standing outside the airport with my bags waiting for my mom to get her luggage.

"I got it lets go." She said

We walked to her Mercedes Benz, she made someone drop it off at the airport for her.
