I open one of the doors in the back, which leads to a ginormous back yard, the size of a football field. There's a stone patio with an in-ground pool and a hot tub, they have a couple of younger kid outdoor play sets. A trampoline, swing set, a hammock, etc. I walk towards the pool and dip my feet in, swirling them in the warm water, I feel someone sit next to me and without having to look I already know who it is. I can smell his cologne. "Still upset?" He asks. "Yes." I try to smile. He places an arm around me, "we're all going to have to go through difficult things in life, in the end we come out stronger, you're young the difficulties are just beginning." He smiles kissing my head. There's a silence for some time. "I suppose there's a plus." I quietly blurt. "Which is?" He smiles. " this so called "house" is outstandingly amazing.." I smirk. "It sure is blondie." He smiles rubbing my leg. "I love you Fial." I say standing up. "I love ya too lil sis." He smiles back. I walk back inside, "hey ma, what else is there to do, as far as unpacking goes?" I question. "Nothing sweetheart, we've got it all under control. But thank you." I sit in tall chair. "You like your room?" She asks. "Oh yes it's.. It's beautiful. Thank you mom." I say hugging her. "Of course.. Look I know this move has mostly affected you and that was never our intentions, we just try to do the best for you all, and we felt this was the best thing to do.." She blurts. "I know you guys did what you needed, and I will have much more difficulties in life, although I'm upset, it's not with you guys, I'm upset with the situation." I reassure. She kisses my head. "I'm sorry honey." She whispers.
Hours pass, it's around 6pm although feels like 10am. This 8 hour difference reallllly sucks. I've been on facetime with Lilly for an hour, she called me as soon as she woke up. "Guys!!" My dad shouts. "Come down here, it's time for dinner!" My mom adds. "Ugh.. I have to go lil, it's dinner time." I roll my eyes. "Yeah well it's breakfast time for me." She laughs. I laugh too. "I miss you lots." She sighs. "I miss ya too." I respond. "I'll call you later. Love you." I frown. "Love you girl." We both make pouty faces and finally I hang up. I walk out of my room and head down the stairs, I hear little feet behind me, it's the twins. "Hey girls." I smile. "Sissy!" Ailbe smiles back. We walk into the dining room together, where dinner is prepared. The whole family is sitting already. My father starts off with the prayer and then we dig in. My mom has made, steak, potatoes and corn for dinner tonight along with a side Caesar salad. "Alright so.." My mother starts. "We all know this move was hard on you all, some more than others-" she looks at me and smiles slightly. "So your father and I have a few little things." She says happily. First, for Caoilainn, they pass down a wrapped box to her high chair and Melanie helps unwrap it. "ahhooz!!" She shouts when she realizes what it is. It was the new princess movie, with the doll that she's wanted for a while. The next for the girl twins, one envelope is passed down the table. "Now remember how I showed you how to open an envelope?" My mom asks. "Yeaaaah" they announce. Neila opens, and ailbe pulls out a piece of paper. "It says... "You are going to Disney!" "AHHH WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY!!!" Ailbe shouts. "OH MY GOD!!" Neila screams smiling. We all laugh at their reactions. "When mama!!" Ailbe asks instantly. "Christmas break." She answers. "Next." Smiles directly at me. Another envelope is passed down. I open it carefully. Inside are two tickets. At first I assumed back to America but I knew they would never. As I saw the tickets I was puzzled. "Ed sheeran!?" I whisper. "OH MY FECKIN GOD!" I cry. "No way!!" I smile from ear to ear. "You deserve it sweetie" my mom smiles. In shock I tune everything out so I have no clue what the other twins got. The concert is July 29th, which is in three weeks.
Hours pass, I'm in my room and still in shock. Ed is Lilly and I's favorite. He's just so.. Ughh. I told her the good news and she nearly fainted. The only issue is I have no clue who I'm taking with me, I have no friends here. A week later, it's around 9am, trying to still get on the ireland sleep schedule. My dad knocks on my door, "hey kiddo, want to go shopping for the concert, your mother mentioned that you needed clothes." He asks sincerely. "Uh yeah, that'd be great, just em give me a couple of minutes to get ready." I answered. "Sure ting. O'll be in da livin room awaitin fer yer." He smiled irishly.
