brooke
everyone was done eating, so now the family was basically just talking among themselves.
brooke's grandmother stood up and pushed her chair back, "i have an announcement you guys."
the three stopped talking.
"what's going on, mom?" brooke's mother asked.
brooke's grandmother sighed, "i'm deciding to move."
"like, move houses?" brooke asked, her grandmother nodded.
"are you going to live with us in new york?" brooke's father questioned.
gram's shook her head, "no, not quite. i'm deciding to move to england."
brooke's mother spit out her drink, her father gasped.
"what?" brooke's mother asked.
"i'm moving to england, one of my old school friends lives there, and said it was a nice place to live. so, i bought a house over there, and i'm going to move in two weeks."
brooke's mother stood from her chair, "mom, but you live here, in florida, in the united states. where your family is. we can't take care of you if you decide to move so far away."
brooke's grandmother sighed, "i'm fifty-six, and i am as healthy as you are. i no longer want to live in florida. florida is for old people, and i'm not old. i want an adventure before i die, and i think having sex with a british man or something would be exciting."
"but-" brooke's mother was cut off.
"no, no but's. my decision is final, i'm moving."
is was quiet around the table before brooke spoke up, "can i go with you?"
brooke's parents gasped, "what? you are not going to england."
brooke sighed and stood up as well, "it wouldn't matter if i did or not. you guys are barely home as it is. plus, i would be able to watch over grandma."
her father sighed, "brooke, you can't go. you have school, your life is here."
"maybe i don't like this life!" brooke cried out, tightly shutting her eyes closed. "i need a fresh start! i do not want to - i can't - spend my life like this anymore. i'm nearly an adult, i should be able to make my own decisions."
"you're sixteen!" her mother screamed.
"like i didn't realize that, mother!" brooke said.
her mother sighed and sat back down, rubbing her temples to try and sooth herself.
"you know what," brooke's father sighed, "you can go brooke."
"what!" brooke's mother yelled out of surprise.
"calm down, hun. brooke is almost an adult, she can make her own decisions. plus, we need someone watching over your mother."
brooke's mother closed her lips, while brooke was still partly shocked.
"so, gram, can i go?" brooke asked her grandmother.
"of course," gram smiled, "it'll be our little adventure, gram and brooke off to england."
