"okay, if I planned this correctly…dad and Samantha should be going to bed in about five minutes"  a tall black haired girl whispered to herself

just after that, Sarah and Wendy  does the last round of house work for the day before they head to their bedrooms,  it's 11:55pm now, and if everything goes to plan…as it should the house will be completely lifeless by the time the clock hits 12:20am... the girl was lost in though replaying her plan, over and over again

"now for the waiting game" she whispered

(Jessica's POV)

"are you sure you aren't forgetting anything? " mum's voice came shouting from upstairs

"for the millionth time yes!"  I exclaimed honestly getting a little annoyed 

"relax sis, mum just wants to make sure that's all"  Krystal chuckled as she came to help me with the luggage. 

"she looks to be more excited about me leaving then I am"  I joked, Krystal gave a small laugh

well it's finally the day of my departure,  we had already scheduled a taxi to come pick mum and I up and drop us at the airport, which it should be here in a couple of minutes or so. meanwhile I got up quite early (please don't be fooled,  my only reason for waking up before 8 is that I couldn't really sleep, I was so anxious I just couldn't bring myself to keep my eyes shut, which only ever happens rarely by the way) anyway, I got up early, checked everything to see if it's in order and got myself ready. part of the reason why I also got up early was to spend some more time with the two of them, especially Krystal, ever since we were little we've been stuck together like glue! and now I'm going away for an year to study abroad, but who knows it can be a good thing for both of us, besides it's not like she's going to be alone, she has Amber and other highschool friends, as for me…well I have myself, don't get me wrong I do have a few friends here, but I'm not the most sociable human being on the planet, in fact I'm quite the introvert, it's not that I don't like talking to people, I just enjoy my time with myself, of course my 'icy' appearance doesn't necessarily help me make friends, but it's okay, I got used to it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

mum is now getting herself ready while both Krystal and I are  just sitting on the couch watching whatever is on TV, we're not really paying attention to the TV since we're busy chatting with each other...

"you sure you don't wanna come with us?" I ask her giving my best sad pouting face

"Jessie, I already told you,  it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't, I still got some stuff to pack before I head out to camp, I'm leaving today remember…" she trails off, but suddenly a smirk starts to form on her face

"although I would LOVE to see my big sister cry like a little baby, as she boards the plane"  she stuck her tongue at me

"YAH! why you…" the door bell l suddenly rang, startling both of us for a second. 

then mum came out of nowhere and answered the door, leaving Krystal and me even more startled. after a while she signaled for me to get up and get the luggage, the taxi driver was here.

after we settled everything into the trunk of the car, it was time to bid our goodbyes. 

"so, I guess you're leaving huh"  Krystal half asked half stated, in a sad tone

"yeah, guess so, but it's only for an year" 

"babo, you say that as if a year goes by fast"  she said a bit disheartened

"but it does doesn't it?…I wish you could come to the airport with us" 

"me too, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'm missing the opportunity to see the great Jessica Jung cry like a five year old"  she chuckled but I could sense the sadness in her tone of voice, I could see it in her eyes…

"YAH! I hate you!" I exclaimed

"I hate you too!" she protested

…

"I'm gonna miss you…"  I said, not realizing that my face was fully displaying all the sadness that I was trying to hind behind small smiles and laughs

"I'm gonna miss you too,  Jessie"  she says it back to me, apparently she wasn't the only one trying to hide her sadness behind smiles and jokes, as I could now see really clearly a tear running down her face

"oh look, who's the cry baby now?" I chuckled sadly, as tears also started to run down my face

"still you sis, look, you're crying" she says trying to lift up the mood 

"babo, you are too!"  I protested, which just made us both cry more. 

it was getting late, we hugged one last time, before I hopped in the cab…

"just…come back soon will ya"  she said sadness never leaving her tone of voice

"I promise"
