Something About Him

"You right, it's just a sprain but you want us to just stay home? We can go away another weekend a-"

"No, no. Go," I insist.

My dad keeps making sure that I'm okay since my game and they were supposed to be leaving right after.

Now yeah, I am in pain but they had someone wrap my ankle and plus, I don't wanna ruin their little getaway and possibly my own.

Whenever they go away overnight, usually so does Sasha meaning if they don't go away, Sasha will be home and things will be like normal and.. I won't have the free.

Since I'm hurt, I won't be able to do much, but that doesn't mean I can't chill and have Chris and possibly our friends over.

"Sharon, you think she'll be good without one of us around?" My dad asks my mom and in response, she says, "Well she said that she would be and if anything goes wrong, which I doubt will happen, Sasha still will be here."

Yeah, as far as they know...

When they leave the only person I want here taking care of me, or whatever they wanna call it, is Chris.

I'm not gonna tell them that though.

"I guess we'll go then," my dad sighs and then looks down at me as I laid in my bed.

He moved my bed from it's original location for some reason but it sort of made my room more spacious, so I didn't mind.

After a little bit more talking, he told my mom let's go yet he was the one holding them back from leaving.

So overprotective sometimes...

When they finally leave out of my room and I assume they're heading downstairs to leave, he comes back in.

"Please don't tell me you're changing your mind again," I sigh. "I have the icy hot an-"

"No, I know, I know," my dad shakes his head shushing me. "I came back to set a couple rules."

Here we go...

"So first off, whatever I say right now applies to Sasha too so whenever she gets home, let her know," he begins and I nod my head yes. "So the rules are that whenever you leave you have to let me know where you're going just to make sure you're keeping us in the loop."

"Okay."

"There's money in the room for you and Sasha both so this time make sure you split it in half. Don't just leave a little bit so that she has something in her pocket. Understand?"

"I get it."

I have the urge to laugh since it reminded me of when I took my half and half of Sasha's leaving her with only fifty dollars and she didn't even know that she was meant to
have double that amount until our parents were back home.

"And the main rule for you- that boyfriend," he starts off. "Ion think it's a good idea for him to be in here without us here so the only way that he can be here is if someone else is here too."
