The start of the trip
Jason and Kyle were standing at the front of LAX as both of their parents said their goodbyes. Aunty V grabbed Kyle and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Make sure you stay safe okay Kyle? I don't want you going nowhere without and adult or Jaya you hear me?"
Kyle shook his head as he annoyedly looked at his mom "That doesn't make any sense mom. Jaya's a kid too. Why do you trust him more than me?"
Aunty V smiled as she softly held Kyle's face in between her hands "You know I love you right baby? So I hope you don't get hurt when I say this.
You can be a bit of an airhead Kyle. You get distracted easily, you forget to pay attention to what's goin on around you, and you are easily pressured.
You have a hard time telling the waitress that you don't need a refill. What if some shady person tries to drag you into somethin that's no good?"
Kyle thought about it for a moment before sighing "I guess you're right mom. I'll make sure to stick with Jaya."
