Me but also them

'Are you serious'?! mom shouting from her work desk. I'm a women of my word and one way or other I eventually got what I want. I'm a cat person and recently I'm undergoing through a stage of mental breakdown with the passing of my cat, suki. Mom wanted me to move on and insist me to get a puppy instead. I was telling mom I wanted a cat that looks like suki again, light grey with white paws and white ears. She was quite the unique one and I knew that I won't ever meet a cat like her again, the features as well as the sentiments we had. Mom freaked out with my stubbornness, she is still busy getting her paperwork done as we have to move next month. The only thing that keeps me excited and hopeful is that soon I'll be living with Gab and Dad again. Mom and me have been living in Sydney for almost 21 years now. I was born in Sydney but when I was 15, dad had to move to New York with Gab because of his transfer, a permanent one. I was left with my mom in Sydney for a good reason. I was in my higher secondary schooling and mom recently got promoted and she can't leave her work. But of course Dad always visits with Gab and sometimes its mom and me that visits, we always keep in touch and that is why our bonds never changed despite the fact that we live countries apart. Mom was an entrepreneur always busy on the phone while Dad was a transplant surgeon, works that compelled them to stay apart but the love they had is the love I wanted someday and I keep telling Dad that I want a men like him. Gab, Gabriel to be precise my brother is three year older than me. Unlike dad, he is quite dynamic, mom and dad wanted him to be a doctor. Well he attended one of the top medical college in New York but crazy thing is that he also wanted to be a software developer, a pro gamer online. But he kept that as a secret from the world except us mom, dad and me. I attented one of the top science University in Sydney. I'm the lucky child as mom mentioned, right after my college mom got certified to settle anywhere she wanted given that she will attend meetings held regularly at the headquarter of her job. Mom and me will be shifting from Sydney next month to New york. Dad and Gab have been excited since meanwhile I'm still mourning over suki's passing. But I'm more excited than anyone of them as it is my dream to finally settle down together. I also hated the fact that I'll be leaving Sydney which means I'll be leaving my friends here, the one that got me through high school and college Kelly and Angel. We have become close enough to be called besties and all my memories in Sydney lingers with them. They were speechless when I told them about my moving but I had to because I can't be left alone here while they enjoy in New york, I mean family comes first right? Dad was originally from New York and it was his plan that we settle in New York. I have been living in Sydney which means I have the dialect and everybody thinks so that I'm from Australia. Half of our things were already packed and send to New York, mom was busy as usual but she was happy. Dad called everyday saying that he missed us and reminding us to pack everything. Gab is teasing me over the phone 'Clare, have you bid farewell to your bf yet?' he love teasing me all the time. It was funny and annoying at the same time, I'm already 21 and still not in a relationship. It's not a big deal but Kelly and Angel said it was. I like being independent and pampered, odd but that is what I wanted. Mom use to tell me that I'm not in the category of graceful girls well I was more of a klutzy girl going with the flow of life. But sometimes I tend to be all calm and serene but somedays I'm a havoc to myself. I don't have a sense of being all delicate and hyped up for a boy but I do have a rather unfinished story which I started but never ended. I was 8 yrs old, mom invited some of her few work colleagues home for dinner. Aunt Gracie was one of them, the closest one to my mom. Aunt Gracie brought her son who was the same age as me, Justice. He was so small and lean back then, shy and quiet. Aunt Gracie brought him to introduce us to him. Weeks later, he was admitted in the same school as me. He was an introvert like me but I'm more outgoing than him. We use to hang out, we became close and our mates started calling us lovers. Justice would turn red and I use to tell him to ignore them. When we were in the eight grade, he started hanging out with some other group of friends and that was the end of him being an introvert. We still hang out together but not like the old times. Justice grew into a fine lad, he was growing fast and big, he was the darling of every girls in our high school. I started to develop a feeling for him when one day he punched a boy from our class for repeatedly following me around and teasing me. It was the first time I see him as a boy that was capable for anything. I was an introvert, I wore glasses and braided my hair tightly and was always reading a book and that is why they were teasing me. I didn't mind until they followed me around. Since the day Justice punched the boy, no one teased me. Kelly and Angel were already with me from fifth grade and they were the matchmaker between me and Justice. I liked Justice quietly and observed him and he have no reason to not be liked. He was the first boy that gave me butterflies in my belly.
