I don’t want to say goodbye but I don’t know when I'll see them again. It could be in a week, a month, or even years, it still hurts having to say goodbye.
“I thought he was going to be here at five”
“He is here. He’s talking to papa outside.” I said to Mama Eli
“why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
I shrug my shoulders and finish tying my shoe.
“I didn’t know it was him until papa told me to just now”
I finish tying my shoes and stood up from the couch.
Aunt Valeria comes out of her room with her backpack in her arms and aunty Camila still in her PJs, holding her red scarf.
she’s ready.
And I’m not.
I’ll never be.
I could wait just to stay a little bit longer, but I want to start this as soon as possible. I fear that this might be the only chance I get of ever going and I don’t want to miss it only because I was a coward.
“You ready?” she asks.
“yes” I answer immediately.
