"Hi, grandma. I know that you haven't seen me in a while...but I need you to do me a favor..." I said. 

"Oh, hello, Sara! How are you sweetheart? What is it that you need?" She asked sweetley. 

"Well, grandma...its kind of a long story...OK, so I decided last night that it was time for me...to...to find my mother, Andrea, because maybe if I find her, I could have an adult taking care of me...so, I obviously can't take my dad with me...so I was wondering...if maybe you could...let him stay with you for a little bit?" I said. 

"What? Oh, no, sorry baby. I just can't. My time to mother him is over. I'm really sorry, Sara. But I just can't." she said. My face fell.

"Well, why not? Grandma-for me? When was the last time you've seen your son? Your only child? When was the last time you've talked to the son you love? Please? I need to do this. And I need your help." I said. 

"Sara, you know how he is. He won't be home! He'll be out." She said. 

"I can't leave him alone! He may be messed up-but he needs some help. Please, please please! I was thinking...that maybe...if he spent time with you and you maybe tried to get him out of this drinking habit...maybe he'd become the person that he used to be...the person that I never knew him to be." I said.

"Ugh. I just don't know baby. He left years ago promising to never speak to me again. I just don't know." She said.  

"But...grandma I need this. It would change my life if I found you. Can't you just do this for me? Please? This would be huge for me." I said. 

"Ugh. For how long?" She asked. 

"Um...at most a month." I said.

"What?! Sara...I can't. I just can't." She said. 

"Grandma...don't you love me? Don't you want to do this for me? I love you." I said. 

"I do love you. I just don't know if its the best thing to give him to me..." She said.

"PLEASE?! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. If you don't...I won't have a choice but to leave him alone...and you know what that will result to." I said.

"Oh...um....well........alright...but I'm doing this for you, Sara. Not for him." She said.

"Really?! Oh, thank you. Just have no beer in the house...stay with him at all times...this could change him! Make sure he doesn't go out without you...or grandpa...thank you! I'll drop him off on Sunday morning! Thanks, bye." I said as I hung up. I can't believe this is really happening. I was going to New York. 

I started to pack. The trip was in 3 days. I went into my closet...now where is that suitcase...I dug through all of my boxes to search for my search for my search for my suitcases. Aha! Found them. Ugh. Stuck. I tugged and tugged until the pink and black bags finally budged. I fell backwards on the floor with the luggage on top of me. My back is going to hurt in the morning. I whipped open my drawers. Well I don't have a lot to pack for fall weather...so this shouldn't be hard. I placed most of my clothes but left a few outfits for the next couple days. I packed my spare toothbrush, my spare hair brush, my make up, and my books. By the time I was finished, it was 10:30. I crawled on the couch and watched my favorite show Glee for an hour and then crashed on the couch.
