I was fast asleep when I heard a huge crashing sound. I rushed out of bed and down the stairs, when I walked into the kitchen I heard a weird dragging sound coming from the living room. When I rounded the corner I saw my dad pulling our suitcases across the floor.
“Hey dad what’re you doing?” I asked
“Grandma called this morning, she said grandpas getting sicker and that we should come see him before it’s too late” he said
Instantly I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness and regret. The regret stemmed from me not talking to my grandpa in months because it was too painful to hear him that sick. Instantly I snapped back to reality and run upstairs to start packing. When I got into my room I started throwing random clothes into my suitcase that my dad had brought in when I was still sleeping. I ran into the bathroom grabbing my face wash, shampoo and some random makeup.
“Emma we have the leave in 30 minutes, eat some breakfast before we leave” my dad called up the stairs
“Ok dad sounds good, let me finishing packing and I’ll be down soon” I yelled back
I ran back into my room to finish packing. Once I was done packing I put my suitcase by the front door and went to go see if my brother needed any help. I walked into his room and saw him sitting on the bed. I walked over to his suitcase to make sure he’d started packing, which he had thank goodness because I didn’t have time doing that for him. Finally he was done packing so we went to go eat breakfast. We both quickly made some cereal, all the while dad was bustling around the house grabbing the random things we needed. At the last minute mom came down the stairs rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up.
“Uh honey we have to go like now!” dad said looking at mom worriedly
“Oh hush babe we’ll make it stop giving me that look” she said rolling her eyes with a slight smile.
She ran up stairs to start packing. I was still eating my cereal watching some tv with my brother. I was walking towards the bathroom when I heard a honk outfront, I looked out the window and saw a cab sitting in our driveway. I ran up the stairs and into my parents room
“Mom, dad the cabs here we need to go” I said as I walked into their room.
“Okay will you bring you and your brothers suitcases to the cab” dad said
‘Ya sounds good we’ll just meet you in the car” I replied looking over at him.
I walked back downstairs to get our suitcases and my brother so we could head out to the car. We patiently sat in the car for about 15 minutes before they both came rushing out of the house and climbing into the car. Here we go I thought to myself as we pulled up to the airport. We all tumbled out of the cab and walked through the front entrance, checked in and checked our bags. Finally we went through customs and were able to board the plane. Me and my brother were sitting next to each other, soon the plane turned on and started going down the runway. Here we come I thought to myself.
