People change. He could be completely different.
Right?!
Especially after a loss like this.
He could have matured, grown up, let go of whatever bullshit he used to pull.
Hell, maybe he didn't even remember me.
Whatever the case is, fortunately I don't have to give a damn.
Cause he won't even be there.
2) Finally, Home
Rava
Italy. The heat is unreal. I swear my eyeballs are melting. I can feel my soul sweating.
I grab my shirt and start fanning myself, but it does absolutely nothing. My whole existence is currently liquefying. I drop my suitcase in front of me and hunch over my phone, trying to shade the screen with my hand so I can read Daisy's directions.
Daisy is my older sister.
But with this sun? I can't see shit.
I hear a loud car horn and I jump. I swear Daisy really wants me dead before I even make it home.
I drag my suitcase toward her white car. She's got both hands on the wheel. Her sunglasses are halfway down her nose, like she's spying on me over the top.
Jin, my younger brother, is in the backseat.
How the hell did they convince him to come? This dude gets bored by oxygen. I'm betting Daisy bribed him with some limited-edition nonsense.
I get close and both of them climb out. Daisy hugs me first, so tight I swear I see the afterlife for a second.
But I smile, because honestly? Meetings aside… yeah.
I missed them.
"Welcome, you little shit," she says. "I missed you."
"I missed you too. A little," I answer.
She punches my shoulder. "Unfortunately, you made it," Jin adds. "They said you might miss your flight. I got my hopes up."
I drop my bag by his feet. "Missed you too, bro."
Daisy sighs like she's already exhausted by us. I grin and throw my bag into the backseat before sliding into the passenger seat.
The leather burns the shit out of my skin, but I don't bother complaining.
It's Italy during summer. Everything is burning.
As Daisy pulls out of the airport, I glance at her. "So where are mom and dad? Kind of weird how he didn't show up just to throw me into a meeting straight from the runway."
Daisy smirks. "Oh, don't worry. You'll be at your first one by the end of the day."
I groan. "I wanna cry. Why don't they ever botheryou?Why is it always ME?"
