Alex's P.O.V
"Yes sir! you won't regret this decision, I'm going to work my butt off each day! Thank you, thank you so much!" I squealed, clicking the off button and throwing my phone across the room, hitting my wall in the process of doing so.
"What was that noise?!"Dad bursted through my door, not caring if I were naked or doing something embarrassing.
I stopped doing the disco and turned towards my father who had a amused facial expression and told him the great news.
"Dad..." I paused dramatically.
"Come on! SPIT IT OUT!"Dad started getting aggervated probably because i'm disturbing him from his work in the study.
"I'M IN!"
"You're in what?"
"THEY ACCEPTED ME TO GO TO THE PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL IN ENGLAND,LONDON!"I fangirled, jumping up and down in my fathers open arms.
"I'm so proud of you Alex! how about you go tell your mother the amazing news!"Dad suggested with the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face.
I didn't even have to answer, cause the next thing before you knew it, my mom came rushing in my bedroom, jumping into my arms like Scooby does in Scooby Doo.
"My little girl is growing up way to fast!"She pinched my cheeks.
I swatted her hands away and laughed.
"Well, little girls have to grow up eventually."I sat her down so she was standing right next to dad.
Dad wrapped his arms around mom and began to take her downstairs. But before he left my room, he smiled at me with a tear going down his cheek.
"You're really growing up. It felt like it was just yesterday when I was changing your diaper, but now look at you. A beautiful young lady is what I see. We're so proud of you Alex and we're deffinently sure that your brother would be too."I felt tears go down my face.
"I'm sure he would too dad, i'm sure."My voice came out shaky at first but soon evened out.
Dad looked at me one more time before closing my door with a quiet ' Click.'
I turned around and looked at my night stand which had a picture of my older brother Tim dressed in his army uniform.
"I miss you Tim, and i'm doing this for you."I touched where he stood in the picture and smiled as a memory of him when he first said I should sing for a living when I got older.
*Flashback*
It was a beautiful summer day here in Miami,Florida and to make it better, my brother said he would take me out for ice cream!
"Alex,are you ready?"
I grabbed hold of my brothers hand and smiled up at him.
"CHOCOLATE!"I ran down the stairs and down the sidewalk towards the ice cream shop on the corner of the street.
"Alex! slow down, you're gonna get us run over!"Tim reasoned with me when we went across the street towards the ice cream parlor.
As we walked in, we both sighed of relief when the nice cool air touched our skin, making the hot air disappear.
"Why hello there cutie!"The cashier gushed when she saw my face.
" I'm not cute! I'm 5!" I pouted. The lady laughed with my older brother and asked what we were going to have.
