"I am glad you have come." All of my kids are in one room finally.
"The reason I asked all of you to come is that we will be going on a trip. So we wanted to say goodbye, Jamie."
"But Mom, you can't leave me on my own with these people,"
"You will be fine, honey. I spoke to Diah, and she said she would be more than happy to have you around."
"But why can't I go with"?
"Your schooling, honey, and your life are here with your friend Justin."
"Mom, now why can,t I stay by her?" Says Lilah.
"No, this is not up for discussion. Now Lilah and Raphael greet your sister."
Jamie walks to the mirror. "Nobody wants me."
"That is not true. You are the best sister anyone could ask for."
Jamie smiles, Looking up at Lilah,
"You look great. I am sure where ever mom is taking you, it is going to be a great place."
Jamie looks up into the mirror as the room becomes dark.
