Our new home
294 Words
Federal Way was a small yet big city to live in. Small for Angel's California eyes. She was used to loud busy streets. she was in a nice and quiet safe neighborhood. No more gangs and police sirens every 5 minutes. It was surreal for her and her siblings. Her older brother of 2 years Mario was not happy about the move. Mindy the baby was happy because she was able to convince their dad about letting her grab a cat from the farm before they came to their new home. It was a beautiful 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment. Angel and Mindy had bunk beds already set up in their room. Mario had his own room.
The apartment was nice sized for a family of 5. it had a sliding door that was attached to the kitchen. a front door that lead to the hallway with a small entryway. The only thing that was sad about the move was Angel and her family didn't speak much English. Except Mario he was an expert at it. Mindy and Angel not so much.
The family helped bring in all the stuff from the cars that helped bring their belongings. Angels mom and aunts that came along on the trip helped make food for all the family members that came. Angel was sad she wasn't going to be able to see all her cousins. Being in a large family dynamic was all they had known at that point. All her family lived in a 1.5 hour drive span. She had lots of cousins that lived in the same apartment building she left back in California. They had cousins across the hall, down the hall, Down stairs and upstairs. Now it was just going to be them.
