Saying Hello As Well As Goodbye

Holmes Chapel

"Rebecca-May Darcy Styles get your lazy bum up right now!" I heard someone yell at me. It sounded like my father but that's impossible since he's out on a promo tour for another two weeks.

"Bryan take her blanket away or something!" I heard the voice again. Groaning I shoved my head under a pillow.

"Why can't you do it?" I heard Bryan ask.

"Well I'm not there and I can go through a computer screen." Yup, that's dad.

"Rebecca get up!" Bryan said, shaking me.

"Nooooooo!" I moaned.

"Why won't you get up?" I heard dad ask.

"Because more I sleep, the sooner days pass, sooner the days pass you'll be home." I say not moving from my spot.

"Princess get up and look at me." Dad told me. I guess I'll listen to him. I sat up and looked at him; well best as you can through a laptop screen. "I'll be home soon, love. It's your summer vacation, don't stay in bed all day go out and have fun."

"But, daddy I miss you and want you home now!" I whined childishly.

"I know, sweetheart, but I can't be home right now. I'll be back in two weeks I promise." He smiled sadly at me.

"Told you this is how she has been acting." Bryan said sitting next to and wrapping an arm around me.

"I know, bud. But she has her brother there to help her, right?" Dad ask Bryan.

"Yes dad. Oh do you want to ask her or shall I have grandma do it?" Wait hold up ask me what?

"I'll ask, save Andrea the hassle. So Becca in like two or three days Andrea and Scott are going back to America. Would you like to go with them or stay with gran in Holmes Chapel." Dad asked me.

"What's the catch?" I ask.

"They'll be there for three weeks."

"Hello Holmes Chapel." I smiled.

"I see how it is. Don't love me no more." Grandma pouted from my doorway.

"I still love you just don't want to be away from dad any longer than I have to be." I explained.

"I know Bec. I just came up to tell you munchkins that breakfast is ready." Grandma said before leavening to go back downstairs.

"I guess that means you two need to go. I'll text you guys later and try to call tomorrow." Dad said, looking sadden.

"Bye daddy. I miss you and love you." I waved.

"Bye dad. Miss and love you also!" Bry waved along with me.

"Bye kiddos. Take care of your sister Bryan and Becca, be good, I'll be home soon." Dad said before blowing us a kiss and disconnecting the call.

"Bry?" I said, looking up at my twin whose arms I'm still in.

"Yeah Becci?" He smiled at me.

"I miss daddy and mummy." I started crying.

"Oh Becci, dad will be home soon. And I know you miss mom, I miss her too but she wouldn't want us crying over missing her. She'd want us getting up, going to eat breakfast, then packing our stuff to take to Gran's." Bryan said hugging me close.

"Okay." I sighed and wiped away my tears. "Daddy just better get home quickly." I mumbled getting out of bed.

After breakfast we called gran and told her of our decision to stay with her and she had said for us to be ready to leave tomorrow around ten because she had errands to run and she didn't want to drive back to late. I hung up the call and went to my room to shove all my clothes back into the duffle I was using and left out an outfit for the next day. With that being done I went to the music room just to play around on the piano, taking my own writing book just in case.
