I hear the door slam the second I walk though the kitchen, I brace myself and continue to the dining room. My dad isn't happy with the message that I got from my mother. She wants joint custody over me, and he doesn't think that's a good idea. I do, of course. Hell, I was the one who contacted her to talk to her about it.
"You better not think your going down to L.A" he said pacing, "That's why, you wanna go live with her because she's got all this money and she's famous and all that. Right?" He stops right in front of me, the look on his face makes me kinda regret this whole thing.
"I wanna go live with her because she's my mother" I say, no more mad than he is,
He stops, and takes a seat at the dining table,
"Your right," he says after a moment of silence "you don't need a reason. You can go"
"Thank you" I'm not as mad as I was 5 minutes ago but, that's a relief—he's okay with it.
He dosnt say he's sorry. I don't really need him to either. I mean, I was gonna go whether he said I could or not. My mom already sent me the plane ticket and the airport is an Uber away.
"You leave tomorrow?"
"Yeah,"
"Okay. Is there anything you want to do before you leave?" He's looking at me now
"Frozen yogurt sounds good," I say
He smiles and grabs his keys

My dad may not be the happiest that I'm leaving him for a few years but, at least he's okay with it.
Him and I have always gotten along, he and my mom split when I was born after he came out to her as a gay man. He felt terrible and didn't want to go on pretending anymore, she was hurt but she understood. They divorced and he got full custody over me. I don't know the details but I do know that my mom really loves me and want me around. I've been in contact all my life but I still never really spent any time with her.
She an actress, a very well known actress to say the least. Elizabeth Olson is quite the house hold name. The last time I saw her I was ten years old, so that was almost six years ago. We talk everyday wether it be over the phone or over text. She's like my best friend only online, so when she told me she wanted me to come live with her—I was more then willing, I always wanted to ask but I wasn't sure what she would say, and I was scared of her saying no, so I didn't ask.
But she asked me over the phone last week and I cried real tears of joy. I love my dad more than anything but all I've ever wanted was my mother.
I told him two days ago, and we have been fighting ever since, I understand why he doesn't want me to leave him but I'm not really leaving him.
She sent me a one way plane ticket to l.A. and I have already packed my bags, so all I had to do was wait.

It's been a week since I stepped off the plane and into my moms arms, and so far the best week of my life. We have done almost everything, from getting ice cream and shopping, to watching movies in bed. It almost feels like We haven't missed anything and it's only been a week. I love los Los Angeles, but I do miss Oregon.
We are leaving for London in two days, she is starting a movie there and we will be living there for the time being. She didn't look for places to buy in London until I got here because she wanted it to be our place, so I got to basically pick where we will be living for the next few months. I'm super excited. I get to spend summer and fall in London, WITH MY MOTHER!!
We picked out this cute 2 bedroom studio apartment, it's got a lot of natural light and a great view of London, I'm excited to decorate my room. I haven't don't much to my room at my moms house in la because I knew that we would be going to London within a week.
I even talked to my mom about me going into acting, she wasn't really sure because she didn't want me to feel obligated to go into the same industry as her just because she holds a big place in it. I told her that I've always wanted to go into the industry, whether it be because of her and just because I fell like that is what I need in life.
She said that she thinks it's a great idea if that what I really want, she even offered to make some calls to some agencies but I brushed it off. I don't Want everything to come to me because I hold the Olsen name and blood. Though it will come in handy. And it's going to be hard for it to not be of use, so I just told her that I don't want her to make calls and ask of favors, just to help me do this on my own. She was more than happy and said we can get me and agent when we are in London!!
