Take Me To Cali

Day 2

Yesterday was just a series of explaining to mom and facetiming Nathalie while she was at the airport

She's pretty lucky though
I've always wanted to live in California
But it risks losing each other

I just went through my daily routine of battling acne and eating Kylie's cooking
By 2:00 pm I noticed that dad has been gone since before I woke up yesterday

"Mom" I say walking towards her room
She looks back from her closet at me
"Where's dad?" I ask
"Sit down..." She gestures me towards her bed
Oh this can't be good
I feel my stomach churning
"Emily..." She sighs
"Mom..." I mimicked
"You're dad is away...because of work" she says calmly
"where...away?" I try to get the words out of my mouth
I feel a lump in my throat
"Across...the country" she says shutting her eyes as if she was trying to hold back tears
"What?! He just left?! No goodbyes?! Why is everyone leaving?!" I start loudly darting out questions
Kylie was at the mall at the time, so it was ok for me to yell
"Emily because he knew you would act this way" she says trying to calm me down
"....for how long" I mumble out
"Uh...a long time I'm afraid" she struggles to get out
"And we can't go with him?!" I yell
"Emily, we knew you didn't want to leave your friends and transferring schools your sophomore year?" She says
She does have a point, I was so worked up that I didn't even realize that
I just sat there blankly
"And isn't your friends party coming up?" She reminds me
"Oh my god! I don't have an outfit for that!" I realize
"That's why Kylie is at the mall" she smirks
I just hugged her and walked back to my room dialing dad's number
*riiinngg*......*riiiinngg*....."Hello?"
"Dad?!"....
