"It'll be fine" she said, "You have nothing to worry about" he reassured, gosh why did parents have to be like this. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAb9fzipMIYL
I hate them, I tell myself as I angrily shove clothes in my suitcase, I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!! 275Please respect copyright.PENANAl6eebcy7AF
"Damn Macky, What did the suitcase do that to you?" My twin sister, Minka asks with a laugh as she leans against the door frame. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAsyKQOkGnaQ
"Can't you go and bother someone else?" I snap at her. She sighs and walks over to me "Makenzie" she says softly "Calm down everything will be okay" I throw my hoodie on the floor and turn to glare at her. "Everyone keeps telling me that but nothing is happening!! If anything everything is moving farther down south!!" I shout gripping the edge of my jean shorts tightly. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAGdrsutItf2
'Don't cry Don't cry' I tell myself.275Please respect copyright.PENANAwvTPIyHin9
Minka kneels down and hugs me. "Macky, It's not your fault Ma and Papi are getting a divorce" she whispers into my ear. I hug her back tightly and feel the tears, I tried so hard to lock away, run down my cheeks. "How do you know that Minks? Every time they fight it always seems to be about me" my words are muffled into her shoulder.275Please respect copyright.PENANAlsq8JdzPod
"Come on Makenzie have some trust in your sister, Jeez" I laugh which turns into a sob. Minka wipes away my tears then she playfully punches me and I push her away with a small smile.275Please respect copyright.PENANAw0foVdDLsP
"Enough of the sibling lovey-dovey stuff, help me pack. My suitcase doesn't seem to like me." I eye the suitcase making her laugh. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAGlJzQXd3Cn
About an hour later we were in the car with mom. She and Minka were screaming Bon Jovi and Kiss music, it felt like old times, but not quite. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAaObINPYbga
3 months ago mom told us we were going to spend our summer in the wood in her grandpa's old cabin. At the time I was excited to stay in the woods I loved exploring places like that, but now I know this is an apology trip for the separation. I was still pissed at my parents so I was going to try and look like I'm having a horrible time, but it was still the woods so I'll probably fail quickly. 275Please respect copyright.PENANAT8byygyUCO
After a 7 hour car trip we finally pull up to a cabin, Minka and I help unload the car while our mom takes a shower. I wander the halls my footsteps echoing the quiet cabin, I look in a room and see Minka already making herself at home in the bedroom.275Please respect copyright.PENANAun3NfK4hY6
I smile and continue walking trying to find a room for me to sleep in, I see a door and I open it. It reveals a staircase leading to a dark void above. I try the light switch but it doesn't work. I hold onto the railing and make my way up, at the top I see shelves and a huge window over looking the woods. there was barely any light coming through, as it was night time.275Please respect copyright.PENANAMSLHDISoPc
There on one side of the room was a loft built into the bookshelves that surrounded the room. I smile, this is definitely where I'm sleeping for the rest of the summer. I climb up the small ladder and faceplant onto the bed. I quickly feel sleep overcome me and I fall into a dreamless sleep.
