Midnight stallion

Chapter 17

I was siting at the kitchen table picking at my chicken breast and my mom was siting across from me eating too. After my dad and I laid on the couch for almost half an hour my dad started to explain what had happened the other night.

I had learned that last night was a big misunderstanding, my dad told me that my parents talked about my mom being upset about my dad and the military.

I had told my dad that I was sure that I had made him and my mom fight last night, and also that I had felt terrible about it.

My dad explained that what I did was the right thing to do. My dad and I worked through everything that I was upset about. I was really happy that I had talked to my dad.

When my mom got home my dad and I talked to her about everything that I told my dad earlier that day. I said that I was very sorry to both of my parents about everything that had happened the night before.

My mom apologized to me also and so did my dad. I had felt a lot better after I had talked to my parents.

After my parents and I talked I helped both my parents cook dinner. Together we had made chicken breast that was really moist and great tasting, and we made mashed potatoes that were also very good.

During dinner I ate and I talked to my parents. "I'm very very happy that we talked." My dad said. "me too." I replied.

After dinner I helped clean up all of our plates and I did the dishes with them both. After we did the dishes we all sat down in the living room together and we watched tv.

A few hours later I found myself drifting asleep in my seat. So I got up and I said "good night" to both of my parents. "Sleep well" my mom said as my dad nodded.

I walked up the stairs and sighed in relief, I was happy to have talked to both my parents, it was a weight lifted off of my chest.

I went into the bathroom and I brushed my teeth before going into my room and laying down on my bed.

I flipped over in my spot and I quickly glanced at the clock, it read 11:11 P.M. Make a wish I thought to myself.

I wasn't in my bed much longer until I fell into a deep sleep. I woke up the next morning and I laid on my back smiling to myself.

It was the first time in a long time that I had sleep really well. I got out of bed and I got dressed into my school uniform.

I looked in the mirror and even though I hated my school uniform I smiled, nothing could make me upset today.

I walked out of my room and I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I then went downstairs and I said "hi" and waved to both of my parents siting at the kitchen table eating pancakes.

"Breakfast is on the counter" my dad said pointing to a stack of pancakes on the counter. As I grabbed a plate out of the cupboard I heard my mom trying to whisper to my dad.

"She seem really happy today..." My mom said. "I know it's quite odd" my dad said back to my mom. "I can hear you both," I said back cheerfully.

Both of my parents just stared in confusion at me. "It's rude to stare!!" I joked while looking at my parents. Both of my parents then quickly focused on their food.

I laughed to myself while I put two pancakes onto my plate. I walked over to the table and I sat down beside my dad.

I then put butter and syrup onto both of my pancakes. I ate quickly and then I put my dish into the dishwasher.

I started to make my lunch and my parents finished eating. My mom then went upstairs and she changed into her uniform for her job.

She said "goodbye" to me and she kissed me on the cheek. She walked out the door and I watched her car slowly pull out of the driveway.

I finished making my lunch and I went upstairs and I grabbed my backpack from my room. I then went back downstairs and I put my lunch into my bag.

I checked the time and it was 8:01 am. I walked into the living room and I saw my dad siting on the couch reading the newspaper.

"Shouldn't you be going to work soon?" I asked my dad. "I'm going in late today." "Oh okay," I said "I have to go now."

"Okay" he said "have a good day." "Thanks" I said while walking out of the living room, "you too." I grabbed my bag out of the kitchen and I went out to the porch.

I walked over to the barn and I feed and watered all of the horses quick. Then I walked back over to the porch and I sat down and waited for the bus.

I waited on the porch for a few minutes until the bus pulled into my driveway. I walked over to the bus and I got on the bus.

I walked over to the back of the bus and I sat down beside Erica. "Hello" Erica said. "Hi" I said back. Then the bus pulled out of my driveway and headed into the direction of the school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ sorry that this chapter is late and that its short but I have been crazy busy.
