Steff left at around noon the next day. We said our goodbyes and I went back upstairs to me room to continue unpacking.

"Hey Dad?" I yelled down the hall.

I heard a faint "yeah?" come from the room next to me.

"Can you help me move some of my furniture around?" I yelled back.

"Yeah hang on a second," he said.

I went back in my room and started to get a general idea of where I wanted everything when Dad walked in.

"Okay, just tell me where you want everything and we'll move it," he said. I explained where I wanted everything and we started moving all of my furniture.

I looked around at my room and high fived Dad. We heard mom yell from downstairs, "Dinner's ready!" We raced down the stairs like we were 10 years old.

"Stop running you'll wake up Alice," Mom said quietly. The moment after she said that we heard crying coming from the living room.

She sighed and went into the other room to get her to go back to sleep. Dad and I made our tacos and sat at the bar to eat them.

Maybe life on our own as a family wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would.
