Two days has passed and it was already Monday. We all were on edge for Wednesday, but dad had the rest of the money so we just had to hope for the best. I still couldn't believe that I would be leaving my home in Boston to go to New York. I've been to New York when we visited family but now we would be staying for I don't know how long. That's the only thing that hasn't been sorted out yet. We were leaving to New York today and my heart felt broken. 

My bags were already packed and all that was left was for all of us to drive to the airport. Hunter and I were riding with dad and we filled him in on what happened. He tried to be calm when I could tell that he was scared too. He didn't show fear. He was all too calm. We had about ten minutes until we pulled up to the airport and I couldn't help but feel like crying. 

"Dad you know you can still come with us right? You don't have to stay here. You can just give them there money now and come to New York with us." I tried to reason with him. I've done this since he's told us we were moving. I tried to get him to understand how dangerous this situation was but all he told me was it have go protect you both.'

I silently cried in the back as I let myself drown out to the music playing in the radio as I looked out the window. Boston is my home. Boston will always be my home. I could feel my eyes close and the next minute I was out. 

"Wake up princess." I could hear someone say as I could feel someone shaking me. My eyes fluttered opened and it took me a minute to adjust to my surroundings. We were outside of the airport and my dad was already out of the car while Hunter was holding my door open as he looked at me with a small smile. 

"Come on sis. It's time to go." Hunter said softly as he held his hand out. I grabbed it and held onto it as we looked at the entrance. Seeing people walking in and out. Families together.

"Princess come here and grab these bags for me while I get the others." My dad said as I walked towards the trunk. Grabbing Hunter's bags, I handed them to him one by one. In total, he had about six bags. Our uncles helped carry some of our bags as they only packed one cause they were only staying a few days.

I had about six bags too. I was told to only pack important things but I pretty much packed whatever could fit into each bag. As I looked at my dad, he looked like wanted to cry. He looked sad. I wrapped my arms around him as he held my tightly. I could feel myself starting to cry but he just rubbed my back and whispered 'it's gonna be alright babygirl.'

Hunter came and wrapped his arms around me and dad and dad removed one hand so he could wrap it around Hunter. 

"I'm gonna miss you both. Just know that I love you guys so much." We said I love you too and he eventually let us go. I had a bad feeling that something was wrong but I just thought that maybe it was my nerves. Maybe it was because I didn't want leave dad all by himself. He would be lonely. He doesn't have anyone else here besides Hunter and I. But that was gonna change. 

"Alright kiddos, lets go." Uncle Mike said as they all went over and hugged dad. I soon felt a warm hand on my back and I looked over to see Hunter looking down at me. 

"Come on." Hunter helped me with some of my bags as we walked into the airport. It was so crowded. We walked through many lines to get to ours: New York. 

We got our bags checked and our tickets. The next thing I know, we were making our way to the gate and I could feel my nerves starting to spike. 

It was quiet between all five of us. Nobody said anything until we had to search for our seats on the plane. I sat in between Hunter and Uncle James as Uncle Mike and Uncle Brody we're seated next to this old guy.

As I was seated in the middle, I had to look over Hunter's shoulder to look out the window. Hunter looked over at me and said "stop looking at my phone." 

I just rolled my eyes. "Boy ain't nobody looking. I couldn't care less what you over there doing." He made a 'pff' sound and I just sat back in my leg and let out a deep breath as I looked up at the top of the plane.

"It's gonna be alright princess. Your dad is strong. Nothing's gonna happen to him." Uncle James said and I looked at him and gave him a small smile. 

"I know. It's just gonna be hard without everything going on. I can't help but feel like something bad is gonna happen." He put his hand on my leg and rubbed slowly. 

"Just try and go to sleep baby. It's gonna be a while before we get there." Doing what he said, I closed my eyes as I laid my head on Hunter's shoulder so rubbed my head gently and kissed me on my forehead.
