The house

The next day was the day I was going to see dad's side of the world. I was... pretty excited, I guess. But I was only glad that Samuel was coming. And Mia was too. I just didn't want to be all alone again in case something happens... I'm not saying that I want this to happen to them too...

Later, Samuel came and Mia was there too. And dad of course. As minutes, even seconds past, I got more and more excited. Is that normal?

We went in the car and my excitement raged up to 100%. I couldn't wait. Since I found out dad was alive I've been wondering what his life looked like, and that question was about to be answered.

When we arrived, my dad brought us to his house and it was... messy. There were dirty clothes in the floor, empty whiskey bottles here and there, and I KNEW he was depressed.

"Oh. My. God." Mia said and then I also knew she didn't know about it. "What happened?"

"Depression. You were gone, I am divorced, and I had nothing. So I started drinking... But then I got these letters, and I stopped. It was... Surprising, you know.. B-but together we can fix this."

"I guess." she replied, and me and Samuel just stood there like a lump, doing nothing. I feel like Samuel felt like a lump all this time with my drama story. I felt bad.

"Okay, then... Let's start!"

Me and Samuel started in the bedroom, and Mia and dad worked on the kitchen. The bedroom was... unorganized.

Clothes EVERYWHERE, alcohol in the bed, pillow on the floor, and blanket half on the floor, about to fall off the bed.

I started with taking all the alcohol and putting it on a plastic bag. Then I took the pillow and blanket in the hallway to get later. Samuel took all the clothes (well most of them... They were too many) and put it in a big suitcase that we found in the living room. He carried on doing that while I took the clothes from the closet and put them in the suitcase... Of course the clothes didn't all fit in the suitcase, but eventually we found an extra closet filled with suitcases.

It was extremely late, I was tired, but we still weren't done. I wanted to sleep so badly! Samuel was struggling with trying not to fall and sleep. so u asked dad where I could sleep.

"Hey, dad? Where can me and Samuel sleep?"

"Well, we... Umm... We only have 2 beds... And 4 people... You are the only one that knows Samuel... You guys are going to have to share a bed. I'll share with Mia."
