I was sitting at the table with Stacy and David while we ate our pasta I made after work. "So he just asked you out on a date?" Stacy asked then put a forkful of pasta in her mouth.
"Yeah. He seemed like a nice guy so I said yes. I don't think anything could go wrong, honestly. I have been on hundreds of dates with guys, and most of them didn't even mean anything." I pointed out to her.
"I understand, but this boy is a complete stranger who plays hide'n'go seek." She took her napkin and leaned over to David and wiped his mouth that had sauce all over it.
"Good point. But I don't think it is going to be anything too serious, just any other mindless date." I finished my food and left the table to start the dishes.
"What is his name again?" Stacy asked as she walked into the kitchen carrying her's and David's ate and placing them in the sink.
"Liam. Liam...Payne? I think his last name was." I knew I had Liam right but I forgot his last name.
"Liam Payne? You mean that famous popstar that has girls begging on their knees for him?" she raised and eyebrow questioning me.
"I wouldn't say that. But he is famous. I don't really know how famous, but yes he is famous." I turned on the water and started to clean and load the dishes into the dishwasher.
"Dani, will you come play with me?" David asked tugging at the legs to my sweatpants I was wearing.
"In a little bit bubba. I have to fishing cleaning then I have some school work, then I will. I promise." I bent down and kissed the top of his head and he ran into his room.
"How is school going by the way?" Stacy asked she she opened her laptop.
"It's good actually. It's just hard to balance work and school, but I think it helps that I am taking online schooling. But it's still hard." I fished the dishes and dried my hand on the towel.
"Where is this boy taking you anyway on this date?" she asked without even looking up from the computer.
"I don't know. He just sent me a text saying that he will be here at 6 to pick me up and to dress in whatever I wanted."
"That's a smart man. He told you what to wear." she pointed out and we both ended up laughing.
"Hey can we talk about something serious now?" she asked completely changing the subject and seriousness of the conversation.
"Yeah what's wrong?" I asked started to get a bit worried.
"Me and David are going to be moving to Ireland to closer to family. You are very welcome to come, Dani. You are like my daughter and I love you very much. But I wouldn't be upset if you didn't want to come cause I know you love it here and you love working at the hospital." I can't even explain how I am feeling. I don't want to leave Stacy and David, they are my family. But I don't want to leave Wolverhampton.
"Wha-what? Whe-when?" I stuttered out. I don't even know what else to say.
"I'm sorry Dani." she placed her hand on top of mine in a sense of comfort. "And I plan to leave in about 3 weeks."
"3 weeks! Why did you tell me sooner!?"
"I just decided yesterday." She sighed and I could tell that this was really hard for her.
"But you have always lived in Wolverhampton. David was born here. Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?" I rushed out.
"I love Wolverhampton, don't get me wrong. But David has never met his grandparents and I need a change, I lived here for too long." She explained.
"Okay." Was all I really could say.
"Do you want to come? Cause you are very welcome too."
"I don't know. I'm going to have to think about it." I said and got up from my seat and left the room. If I go with them I would have I find a new job and new friends. But if I stayed I would have to find somewhere to live. I don't want to leave Wolverhampton either, it's all I know. And leaving to Ireland is hard to even comprehend. I walk up the stairs and change into some more comfortable clothes and then head to David's play room since I promised him I would play with him. I walked in and saw him asleep on the floor with his toy cars all over. I picked him up and laid him in his bed and tucked him in. I grabbed the toy plastic bucket and started to pick all his toy cars.
"Night Dani." I heard his faint tired voice call out.
"Night bubba. I love you." I kissed the top of his heard and then turned out the lamp.
"I love you too." He said then closed his eyes again. I walked out and quietly shut the door behind me.

"I will drop David off at preschool then head to the hospital." I told Stacy and grabbed David's power ranger backpack. "David, lets go!" I yelled threw the house then heard small little foot steps running down the hall.
"I'm coming. I'm coming. Don't leave without me!" he yelled as he ran. He got to me then stopped. I bent down and picked him up.
"Say goodbye to mommy." I said.
"Bye mommy!" he waved at Stacy in the kitchen then I carried him out the door. I buckled him into the carseat and drove to his school.

"Okay, I got to go now." I sat David down so that he was now standing on his own two feet.
"But I don't want to go to icky school." He pouted while stopping his feet and crossed one arm over the other.
"But you have to or mommy can't come later and pick you up so you can go home." I said cause he loves when Stacy comes to pick him up from school.
"Okay, I guess. Bye Dani." He said and ran inside the classroom with the rest if his friends.
