I knew what to do

 I went downstairs and Diego was still there wearing something formal which was really rare for me to see him like that because he didn't like formal clothes at all. But then also everything which was happening was something that we didn't like. I looked at him, "Are you going to an interview or something?". He looked at me and told me that he was and would tell me the details after he came back. I gave him a nod and he left.

Now, it was me alone again. I sat on the sofa because my leg was killing me now. I was staring at the TV which was off and my parents surrounded me again. My mom was in front of me, she gave me a slight smile and came over to sit next to me.

She wrapped her arms around me and I could feel that familiar warmth in her touch. She said, " Anna, my sweetheart, nothing is permanent in this world. Neither you nor us, this is why we are not with you physically but we are always there even though no one is. So, umm you can think of it as a test that we are taking to test your values which we gave you and Diego. You have to show the world that you are not weak and you are the best. And remember, mom and dad are always with you no matter what. And one last thing, don't fight with your brother". My eyes were wet but as she said it we both laughed a little.

I gathered up my voice," Mom, I love you and I am sorry too because of me you are both". She gave me her warm smile again," The only thing you should be sorry about is that you are sorry about something you didn't do. So, stop blaming yourself and life. I love you too, my dear".

Warm tears were falling and my eyes opened. It was a dream, I was on the sofa and it was way too realistic. But now I knew what to do, I had to find my voice in this world in a way that everyone would know me. I finally had a goal.
