Where we come from

I leaned my head against his shoulder a bit and watched the sun set.

I stiffened up again. This was the second time she did this while I knew her.

"Sorry, again!" I quickly sat up straight.

"No, no, it's okay!" I quickly spoke, looking at her. "You're probably just tired, right?"

I nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"Yeah," I looked back at the sunset. "We should get back before my mom worries."

I nodded slightly, "She seems like she worries a lot."

"She has a lot of reasons to," I muttered, standing up as I thought about the stories they told me about my father when I asked about my Aunt Claire's scars.

"Got it." I quickly stood up when he did.

I walked over to the fourwheeler and handed her her helmet before I put my own on before climbing on top of the vehicle. I offered my hand to help her on.

((Okay, so I wanna draw the layout for this new home, but I don't know the original schematics. Do you still have them?))

I put my helmet on, then got on.

((Somewhere, I'll start looking))

((If not, it's chill. I'll just draw how I think it looks, and mail it to you for approval/criticism. My phone won't let me send pics of you anymore.))

I waited for her to hold on before I started driving back to the cabin.

((sounds good))

I held on tightly.

I drove along the path and we ended up at the secret entrance. We went through, and soon enough, was pulling up to my house. I pressed the garage door button and went in slowly, closing the door behind us. I started taking my helmet off. "That was fun."

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, everything is so green up here."

I smiled. "Yeah, the air is also fresher." I opened the door for her.

I set my helmet down, then went inside.

I followed her in, closing the door behind us and looking around. I guess now was a good time to catch up with the rest of the family, since dinner was crowded. "I wonder where Tea and Sam are?"

"That's a very good question, Sam is probably in the middle of it all and Tea is probably on the outskirts."

I nodded and led the way to the living room. I remember that the family liked to conjoin there for some good talks. Sure enough, a majority of the family was there. They looked up when I walked in. I smiled and walked over to Aspen, my older sister.

((I feel like Aspen is really sarcastic and salty, too.))

((probably))

I followed because I didn't know where Sam, Tea, or Autumn were so I didn't want to get separated from the one other person I knew.

I pulled her into a quick hug. "Jamie, this is my older sister, Aspen." I gestured to Jamie for my sister. "We were just at Sunset Grove, nice to take in the scenery, you know?"

"It's nice to meet you."

I smiled and looked at who else was here. Surprisingly, Tea was, sitting on a far chair, kinda making herself as small as possible, but she was in the room all the same. I slid onto the couch next to Autumn, where there was enough space for Jamie to sit on my other side.
Everyone was talking, some were asking Sam questions about herself, in turn exchanging information about themselves. I smiled when I saw my Aunt Claire, Aunt Aubrey, Uncle Trev and Uncle John.
