She walked up the sidewalk wondering if they were going to notice her today. When she walked into the kitchen her mother didn't even hesitate or pause, she just kept making her brother a sandwich "Do you want Mayonnaise or mustard?"
"I want mayo!" her brother said louder then necessary. He always wanted mayo and her mother asked every time to give him a hard time. This brought a smile to her mothers lips and she couldn't help but to smile also. She would miss this well she wasn't sure about that but she thought she would. About twenty minutes latter her father walked in.
He kissed her mother and slapped her brother playfully in the head and then grabbed him and gave him half chock hold and half hug from behind. "How was school?"
"Karen punched Jimmy at lunch today."
"Well I'm sure he deserved it." Dad flatly stated.
"He did." her brother said still giddy about his father coming home.
Just like her Mother, her father didn't say anything to her or acknowledge her. She wish she could take it all back. It was her fault that she was in this predicament. When she had come back it had been too late but she couldn't leave once she saw her brother crying and she longed to make it up to her parents but she knew she would never be able to do it until one day she saw them again a long time from now. She turned around without saying goodbye and left. No one even noticed. before she knew it she was in the light and this time not one told her to turn back.
She was wrong about missing the things she thought she would miss. She never missed anything again. The second thing was she didn't seem to take anytime at all to see her family. First her Mother then her Father and then her Brother. It all seemed like a blink of the eye but she was still happy to see them.
