My Only Retreat

Weightless

AMY'S POV 

I gathered up all my confused feelings of anger, sadness, and happiness. I sorted out all my feelings. Now I just didn't give a damn about my dad. He was out of our life, we were out of his, and I was 10000 dollars richer. 

I looked at the check, still in disbelief that it was 10000 dollars. I was curious where my father even got the money cause we were almost dirt poor. I quickly gave the check to Vic and Emma. I insisted they take it. Money would only make me selfish and bring bad things for me. I gave it to them cause I knew they would do something better with it then I would. 

I mean I was sixteen. How was I supposed to know what to do with that kind of money? Emma and Vic insisted I keep the money though. They said it was my brothers and my money. I knew there was no arguing. I wouldn't win so I asked them to take me to the bank. 

We all head to the bank, Oli, Matt, Kyle, Vic, Emma, and me. I asked the nice lady at the counter if I could open my own bank account. I felt very official opening my own bank account with all the forms and stuff to fill out. I finally finished a stack of forms and had Vic and Emma sign them because they are my parents now. 

Once all the forms and stuff were taken care of, the lady handed me a card printed with my name on it and everything. It felt kinda nice to know I would have my own money. I decided to put all the money in my savings account and build up the interest so I could pay for my brothers to go to college. I thought it was already too late for me to go. I would still have to go finish high school but I would rather not do that.

We got to the bus and I ran to the cupboard to find a cup. I filled it with water and put the credit card in it. I then put the cup in the freezer. Now I won't be tempted to spend it and I won't be able to without breaking the ice which I hope would take a long time. Knowing me, I would probably just forget about it all together.

 It was already pretty late in the day and too much has happened for my mind to process. I was worn out so I decided to just go to sleep instead of partying with other bands from warped. We only had 3 more weeks in warped and I was really gonna miss this. Next time, I hope to actually apply for a job on the warped team. After many thoughts running through my mind, I finally drift to sleep. 

*Thump* 

I wake up to something that must have fell in the kitchen. I roll out of my bunk still half asleep and make my way to the other part of the bus. I rub my eyes and can't believe who I saw digging through the freezer with my credit card cup in their hands. I rub my eyes a couple more times trying to make sure it wasn't just my imagination. I finally wake up fully and it was who I thought it was. 

Oli was trying to steal my credit card.  

Thanks for reading!
