Snippet #1346944

The car that was once filled with all sorts of noise was suddenly silent the last few minutes of the drive to the airport when the subject of her brother, the one that had died, being proud of her came up, it was always silent for a few moments when ever he was somehow brought up in a conversation. Perhaps the sudden shock of her brother being a gang member still remained, even if it had been two years ago now, despite the fact that there were little clues, such as his brother's injuries and him coming home late..., but none of them would have ever thought of him being in a gang. Her mother and father, two of her siblings that were in high school, and one of siblings that was in middle school came with her on the trip to the airport, with her mother driving. Her two brothers that were in college couldn't come because they were obviously too busy with school and such, but they did write her a letter, wishing her luck on the tour. She was planning on going alone because she'd rather not trouble them with the bother of having to go all the way there, but her mother insisted that they go with her to wish her goodbye, since it would be a long time before she saw them again because it was a world tour, after all.

After some more arguing from her mother and father about where the airport was and looking at the map several times(Since most of her family wasn't used to a busy city like New York), they finally reached a parking spot in the airport. They got out, helping her with her luggage, which consisted of her case for her keyboard, a backpack full of things, and then a rolling suitcase full of even more things, "Now, do you have your piano?" her mother asked.

"Yep, it's in there,"

"Your toothbrush?"

"Yep,"

"What about your comb?"

"Mooom! I have everything packed, so there's no need to worry!" Malka said.

"I-I know... it's just that you've come so far a-and... my baby's all grown up," Herr mother said, starting to get teary-eyed, and that was all it needed for the waterworks to start for everyone and it ended in a big group hug. The family finally said their goodbyes and she watched as the car drove away until it was nothing but a tiny speck. She wiped the tears from her face and continued towards where the band would meet, where it was likely that her water works would start up again.
