"All packed?" I watched my sister fidget with her suitcase. "Let me help you."

Winnie waved me away, "No, no I got it. Really." With a bit of a stumble, Winsley climbed onto the bed, and sat on top of the suitcase. I rolled my eyes at her as she twisted her body, trying to reach the zipper.

It was a minute later that Winnie groaned, "Fine. Lend me a hand before I break my back."

"Aye, captain."

Winnie's suitcase was packed to the fullest, but together we were able to zip it shut for the time being. "I'm sorry I have to go." Winnie slid to the floor, hugging her knees to her chest. I shrugged. "It's fine, Rosa and I don't exactly get along, but we'll manage."

Winnie gave me a smile, one that was filled with a kind of gratefulness that made me wish we could have grown up together. "I'll be back in two months, tops. I promise. By then school will be on break, and it will work out. I'll try and visit over weekends."

Winnie began lugging her suitcase through the doorway of her bedroom, and I watched her leave again. "You better be back." I muttered, mostly to myself. I missed her.
