I Am His Mate

"Honey, hurry up! We're leaving in no time." My Aunt Beth called me from down stairs.

"Okay aunt!" I replied as I was running down the stairs, finding my way to the kitchen.

"So, are you ready?" she asked while smiling. It did not take much time before I responded merrily. "Of course I am!" I replied.

Since school is finally over, my aunt and I decided to spend vacation at my grandma's house. It's been a decade since the last time we visited her and I was just at the age of eight. I don't really remember how things worked during those times, but all I know is I feel excited to see her already. My dad works overseas, so it's very often for me to meet him and when it comes to my mom? I don't know where she is, that explains why Aunt Beth is taking care of me. I don't feel bad about it because my Aunt and I are good.

"Be sure to lock every window and door, okay?" My aunt reminded me before heading off to the garage and kicked start the car.

"Yes sure!" I shouted. She's been reminding me all this time of course I know what I had to do. I smiled before closing the front door. "I'm going to miss this place, especially my cozy bed." I said to myself.

My memories with my best friends made this room special. Sleepovers, truth or dares, hide and seek and everything which I can say is very fun. I am a very outgoing person and I like it when I share or connect with someone with the same interest as me. I hate the feeling of being alone so I made friends that will be there for me. I placed the key in my pocket as I smiled. I took one last glimpse when the car stopped in front of me as Aunt Beth waved her hand and opened the door. I got in as quickly as possible, she looks so eager to go already. I glanced at her first, before placing my ear phones and went to the music section of my phone. The long journey has begun!

It's been eight hours since we left; the whole trip is so quiet except for my earphone that is still in my ears and the radio which my aunt turned on. I kept my eyes on the front road, watching the street lights turn red, yellow and green. I dragged my attention to my aunt. The smile never left her face, she really must be so excited to see Grandma Candice. She smiles over the radio and seems to be imagining things. I heard that she and my Mom are very close siblings. Whenever they remember her they always look so hopeful. When I was young I was really curious about her but as I aged I accepted the fact that the world revolves like this now. I don’t really have any memories of her but that’s alright. My auntie treated me as if I am her real child. I have my grandmother too so I really have nothing to ask for. I am content with the things that are right now.

I know Grandma Candice raised Aunt Beth, so maybe she misses her dearly. I can tell how delighted she is. Well, as long as I can see her smile I am happy as well. I want to have a beak with everything too. I want to unwind, relax and experience new things because my life is a little boring. I am basically just a normal girl back in high school and college. I’m not a popular or queen bee but I’m not with the nerds either. I am in the middle. There’s nothing more boring than that.
