Shit Just Got Real

"What's wrong?" Dad asked, heaving badly....

But that's not the problem right now, I don't think I am ready for this new journey in my life. I am not ready to leave everything and everyone I know and love. Since my mom died, I have been like a mother in our home, surely it's had its up's and down's, I mean not every young girl would like such responsibility at her age but I didn't mind and now....

"Take a look dad" handing the phone over to him I flopped down on my bed.

His eyes held confusion and worry at first but they soon mirrored my shocked face a few minutes ago, only he was overjoyed.

"What!, You got in.... You made it, I am so proud of you honey bee" he said coming to sit beside...

"I got worried for nothing, you should be over the moon right now princess... Dude! What about you?"

"Did you get in?"

Ugh I'm such an ass, I got so carried away that I forgot about my brother.

"Yeah did you get in?" I asked, taking in the sad feature of my brother.

No it can't be, I promise I won't go anywhere without my brother it's our dream. Without giving him a chance to reply i hugged him while crying..

"E.. everything will b...be ok solo"I whispered in his ears while my dad gave him a soft pat on the back.

I pulled softly away from him to see tears forming in his own eyes.

"Let him speak" my dad said lightly

He took in a few deep breaths..

"It's not that I didn't get the admission, it's just that I.... I.."

"What's going on here?" Ah! CeCe bad timing.

My lil sis... Always with the bad timing, she's actually 14 and a huge pain in the butt..... atleast mine

*Eyeroll*

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" I asked. What? I could do a day without her bugging my life every two seconds.

"It's Saturday Karen" she retorted

I mentally gasped, how dare she....

Just as I opened my mouth to finish her off like "Nuh uh, Bye Felicia, you're done for" my dad had to interrupt.

"Cece apologize, have you forgotten she is your elder and we still don't know the problem with your brother and you choose now to argue?" He looked disappointed.

"I'm sorry sis and what's wrong with solo?"

"They both got admissions into college right?" He asked looking mostly at my brother for further details.

I smacked his head because he seemed to have zoned out for quite a while..

"Jeez... Guy what's wrong with you I heard what he said"he barked at me..

"I'm sorry I didn't know you heard"

"Is that why you now hit me on my head!"

Dude chill, I've said sorry already, I didn't say that out loud of course.....

"I got an admission but not in the same school, it's in a different school, like five hours away from you" he said, looking down.

"It's fine as long as we both got in"

"So you all stink and have morning breath except you daddy" seeing the look he gave me...

"I'll make breakfast, in the meantime go take your baths" I said trying to lighten the mood.

"I'll eat Pancakes" CeCe said,

"Can't you say please?"

"Please...." She said with an eyeroll

"Watch it or you'll make it yourself" I'll really miss her for real.

"Who else wants anything special?" I said mockingly.

"I'll take my coffee and a breadroll as usual." dad said, walking towards the living room.

"And you gentleman?"

"I'll eat later, I want to rest"

"Are you sure, cuz you just woke up?

"I'm fine or just keep something for me to eat later"he said, looking out the window.

"Ok"

Our journey just started, but in separate paths,i hope we handle our decision making well. Cuz I have a feeling that...

"Shit just got real"

Especially with the decisions concerning my life right now...

Wooh....! We made it to another chapter from here on isn't going to be easy for Diane because now is when the hard part comes in and she has to face it all on her own.
