"You what?!"
"I quit my job."
Dad and Daniel both stare at me shocked as I simply stare back at them, arms crossed as I sit on the couch across from them, "Look, I know what I did was abrupt-"
"Very," Daniel interrupts, laughing slightly.
"But! I needed to do it!! I've thought about it and realized that I'm done with that job and the people I work with!! Sure, it was nice to have a job and save money and what not but I need a break..."
"Preach!!" Daniel agrees, jumping from his seat excitedly, "Bullshit after bullshit just keeps happening left and right. A break would be nice."
"Stop cussin'...." Dad mumbles, hitting Daniel's leg. Daniel yelps, falling back onto the couch, "Agh! Dad!! I'm 18!!!"
"I don't care!!" Dad retorts, giving him a look, glaring. He rolls his eyes, looking back at me, brows furrowing with concern, "I thought you were going to keep it for college and what not..."
"I'll figure out another way...I'm not graduating yet..."
Still got a year and a half to go...
"So, you're not catering anymore either?" Daniel asks, curiously. "Catering?" I reply, confused. "Yeah!" He responds, shrugging, "Remember??"
I tense up, thinking.
Catering??
Why does that sound familiar?
........
Shit!!
I forgot about that!!!
"CRAPP!!!" I yelp, bringing my hands to my face, "I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!!"
"Welp...I was wondering whatever happened to that little job of yours..." Dad laughs, and Daniel joins him, "Now we know..."
"I forgot about that...I never started it again because of everything that was going on with Luka..." I mumble thoughtfully to myself.
Suddenly, I feel saddened by that memory.
Luka...
He helped out when Jackson went rogue...
I haven't seen or spoken to him since, and I don't have his phone number anymore. Plus, he hasn't been to school so I have no idea where he is.
"Maybe I should start that back up again...that could be my new job..."I mumble, trying to shake off the sad feeling.
"Sounds like a good idea to me!!" Daniel grins, relief on his face, but his dark brown eyes are consumed with worry as they gaze into mine. I stare back at him, confused. He stares at me for a long moment, and I shrug and mouth, 'What?'
He doesn't respond and only continues to stare at me as Dad goes on to say, "Well...if you don't have any regrets neither do we..."
Looking Daniel up and down feeling slightly annoyed, I slowly shift my gaze from him to Dad. I plaster on a bright smile, "Great! Now we can drop it-"
"Woah!" Daniel interjects, raising his hands, "Dad never said we were going to drop it because he and I are okay with it!! You said earlier that you were angry and frustrated because Amelia kept asking you questions."
I shoot Daniel an annoyed look, "Daniel, I'm fine! I'm okay now, promise."
We've already talked about it...
I don't want to talk about it anymore...
"Not to mention," Dad chimes in, and I shoot him an annoyed look, "you said you were stressed out with everything that's been happening lately. And we're just saying maybe you should talk to someone about that...you made a pretty rash decision-"
