The early train was the best choice to avoid traffic and people. For the best view, I sat on the second floor by the window. It has been five years since I last saw her. I married the man my parents chose and she ran off with a white ghost. I remembered that so much had happened that year when she had just turned eighteen and I, twenty-six. Mom was with us for the next three months after I got married and Kaiya came home less and less after she passed. I remembered the one night Dad called me and I rushed over to the house to see Kaiya drunk on the kitchen floor.
"Call the police to take her! She's a disgrace!" Dad said to me and went into the living room. "Where did your mother and I go wrong? You turned out just fine." From the kitchen I saw him buried his face into his palms and started weeping. It wasn't their fault, she chose her own actions. She wasn't the smartest and she wasn't the lily that blooms to be put in a vase. She was the dandelion that flies with the wind.
"Kaiya?" I said softly while trying to wake her up.
"Kei...hic...ko?" she said with a hiccup and half opened eyes. I helped her up to her feet and we slowly walked into the living room and sat with Dad.
"Stupid girl," I said. "you're a girl and a daughter. Why are you doing this?" She must have heard me clearly because she started laughing.
"I don't want to be like you," she answered. "Now I am free! I am free to live my dreams!"
"You're drunk, Kaiya," I said and placed my hand on her forehead.
"Don't touch me!" She pushed it away. "You're not Mom."
"I'm your sister!" I shouted.
"You can't control my life! I can do whatever I want! I'm eighteen!" She threw her arms up in the air and laughed. Before the laughter ended, it happened so fast that what was left on her right cheek was Dad's hand print. "Get out!" he said to her. "You are no longer my daughter!" After that, she stayed in her room for a week.
