Chapter 34: Job Offer

BRANDON'S POV

"Hey Brandon, I'm Tim Turner. We need a good child's therapist up here in New York."

"H-How do you know me?"

"We're right down the street from NYU. From what we've heard, you're pretty good with teenagers, which is what we need. So, what do you say?"

"Y-You mean you want me to move up there?"

"Yes sir, we'll give you a nice house, a nice car, double your current salary, and some other benefits. We'll pay for your plane ticket up here so we can get to know you and you can make a final decision," he said. I was about to answer when there was a knock on my office door.

"Can you hold on a second? Come in!" I called and Hunter peeked in. "Hey Hunter, just sit down and I'll be with you in a minute. Look Mr. Turner, I'm trying to start a family, I don't know if I can just uproot my whole life and leave all my family here!"

"Brandon, just fly up here and then you can make your decision after we talk to you. The flight is Saturday at 9 in the morning, we'll pay for your flight, here and back, and your hotel."

"I guess. Anyway, I need to go. Goodbye," I hung up and went around my desk to sit in front of Hunter. "Sorry about that."

"What was that about?" he asked.

"Oh, I went to NYU up in New York for college and now some therapist is offering me a job up there," I shrugged. "So, what's going on with you?" I asked, grabbing my notebook.

"I'm trying to stop cutting," he said with a small smile.

"That's great!" I exclaimed and he nodded.

"I haven't completely stopped, but I'm doing it less often."

"Well that's a start! I know, it's difficult but you will do it, I believe in you." 

"Thanks," he said, rubbing his arms. I finished up Hunter's session, went through a couple of more patients, and went home for the day.

"Hey babe, how was work?" Alex asked from her position on the couch.

"Okay, need me to rub your feet?"

"Yes, thank you," she said. Her feet have been hurting lately from the pregnancy, so I figured this would make it easier to break the news. I sat down and pulled her feet onto my lap, beginning to massage her feet.

"So, I got a call at work today. It was this guy who's heard about me and wants me to come work for him."

"That's great!" she squealed. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, all I need to do is come in for an interview and I pretty much have the job."

"Well, what about your job now?"

"I'm just going to go talk to them, then make my decision. The thing is, they're right down the street form NYU."

"Wait wait wait," she said, putting her feet on the ground. "New York?" she asked and I nodded slowly. "YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE US ALL THE WAY TO NEW YORK! I CAN'T LEAVE MY FAMILY, BRANDON! WHAT ABOUT BLADE! SHE'LL BE HEARTBROKEN WITHOUT Y-"

"Alex, listen to me. Right now, I think this is the best decision for the three of us," I said, placing my hand on her stomach. She bit her lip and looked up at me. "They're going to give us a nice house, a nice car and double my salary. They sent me pictures of the house and car, it is nice, Alex. I haven't made my decision yet though, trust me. I don't want to leave our family here either. I'm flying out on Saturday and coming back late Sunday."
