“I’m going alone !…What do you mean I’m going alone ? I’ve never been out of France alone before !”I yelled at her .

“I’m sorry , but since Therese got in the school of arts and Sebastien is in college, and well Jean is too young …”Joline , my aunt said .

“And so you half to send me to America ?!”

“It’s not that I want to is that one of my old friends who lives in some small town …well she never had kids and she’s always wanted a daughter and well you don’t have much of a choice…”What happened she used to be the nice aunt !?

“Look , you’ll like it there , you’ll be her and you in a big house , with your own room …”

“I don’t want my own room , I want to share it with Therese !And I don’t even know this women this is worst than being adopted !” I stomped my feet a couple times , infuriated ,that I had no control over what was going to happen .

“Antoinette …”

“Forget it .” I walked away , got out , it was still raining , I zipped up and got on my bike . She came out of the house just as the engine roared , she tried to talk , but I couldn’t hear. I left and headed a few miles south , my brother was at his friends house.

“Hey .”

“Oh , hey Antoinette , nice to see you again . Your early.” Claire , one of Jeans little friends mother , she took care of Jean after school , since her son was always alone .

“I had to pick him up a little early today .”

“Oh , ok . Jean !” She called him over .the both of them where playing pirates , with plastic swords swinging around .

“Hey Antoinette .” He stopped playing as soon as he saw who was picking him up .

“Hey coon get your stuff…”I told him.

“Ok.” They both ran upstairs .

“Hey what’s the problem ?” Claire asked me when they both where upstairs.

“I don’t have much time , Joline is sending me to America , one of her friends is going to take care of me , since she thinks she can only control Jean .”
