I remembered how I had called him for days and weeks and months and left him several texts hoping to get something from him but it had all been in vain. I had cried to my father and forced him to search every pack, I didn’t mind if he had to search the entire world just to find them, but there had just been nothing.
I rubbed the pendant of my necklace, the one that I never took off, no matter the situation and a heavy sigh left my lips, i didn’t break down in tears every time that I thought about him anymore but I definitely still felt the emptiness.
“Are you ready honey? Do you have everything?” My mother asked and I offered her a smile, nodding my head.
“Here you go babe.” My dad said, offering me a set of keys.
“Dad, I’m trying to disappear for a bit and no one who wants to disappear drives around in an Escalade.” I said when I took the keys.
“Yes they do. Come on, let’s not keep Lila waiting.” he said. Moving to pick up my bags but I moved in front of him to stop him.
“We talked about this honey. I need to make sure you’ll be fine and I need you to accept these little things because I promise they will reassure me that you’re going to be okay while you’re away.” He said softly.
“Yes, but not the Escalade.” I said
And after a long back and forth we both compromised on a smaller, more disguised car and after an emotional round of farewell from my family, I was on my way with Lila driving the car.
“How far away
is it?” I asked and Lila took her attention away from the road for a second to smile at me.
“A couple of hours. You can sleep if you want, I’ll be fine.” She responded.
“No I have to keep your company. What’s this new pack like?” I asked, relaxing into the seat and preparing for the long drive.
“Definitely different from what you’re used to, but it’s also very easy to adjust. You didn’t tell your parents about the pack right?” Lila asked, her voice slightly cracking with nerves.
“I promise, I didn’t.” I said, my attention taken away when my phone dinged with a text.
Kyla- 10:34 “Can you please tell Kevin you said I could take over your room?”
The message read and I chuckled but just as I was about to respond another text came in from Kevin.
Kevin- 10:35 “Tell Kyla I already called dips on your room!!!”
“Your family? Are they bothering you already? You’re going to have to ignore them if you plan on moving forward in this new pack, you know that right?” Lila said 1, causing me to frown.
I had no intentions of ignoring my family, the fact that I was moving away from them didn’t mean that I was going to ignore or abandon them. I planned on updating them as often as possible and keeping in touch as much as I could. This decision had been hard on each of us and I wasn’t about to make it even harder for them.
I kept my thoughts to myself though and quickly typed a response to each of my brothers before putting my phone away.
“Jess, Jessy, we’re here. Come on, lets get your things.” Lila said, shaking me gently to wake me up.

I blinked hoping to chase away the sleep from my eyes, before pulling, open my door and stepping out, the fresh evening air hitting me straight in the face, the entire place looked different, really different from what I was used to.
I could already feel the size difference compared to my father’s pack and the fact that there was only one person that I could see so far from the front of the house we pulled up at, only proved how much smaller the population here was.
But everything was clean and beautiful too, in a simple way. It made a smile form across my lips.
