Carla's P.O.V :
so yeah , finally this day came faster than i thought , thank god i had time so i spent most of my time with mum , lily and a few friends.
Something was fishy about dad , since the day we argued , i felt something was wrong , I'll figure it out later.
I took one last look at my room , maybe that's weird but i felt that my room was naked , no carpets or maps , no posters or magazines , even my first guitar that i used to hang on the wall wasn't there.
Everything is shipped to Ireland , the land of beer and leprechauns.
I went to say goodbye to mum , i found her in the living room hugging dad and she was... Crying??
It wasn't the first time for dad to travel , but that was weird....
"Martha , please don't cry , don't worry , everything will be just fine" my dad said in my mum's ear.
"Ayee, mum , i'll miss you so much , sorry if i was a pain in the ass sometimes , but i know deep down you love me because i can make awesome pancakes" i said while walking into the room , my mum turned around wiping her tears , she had that smile that warmed my heart.
I'm gonna miss this lady...
After a few goodbyes and hugs , we were at the airport.
"so , young lady , are you excited about Ireland ?" , my dad asked , while I was sipping my coffee.
"meh , not that much , maybe a little bit nervous , you know I don't get along with people that much" i replied honestly.
actually , I prefer being alone most of the time , if you knew me back , a few years ago , you will see a different Carla , but some douche bag came into my life and changed it.
back to reality....
"oh no my dear , don't be , you will love it there , besides , you will start working after a few days when we arrive , so you can spend your time , i will be out most days"
"i think that's great , just promise me you'll be fine" i said , looking directly in his eyes .
those hazel eyes were dull , that's not okay , dad's eyes are always shining like honey drops , but the last few days here , i felt like he was hiding something from me.
"dad , there's something going on" i said as if i was 100% sure.
"wh..what do you mean , my dear?"
"no dad , don't play that card , I'm not dumb , you know?" this time tone was harsh , sadness flashed into my father's eyes , suddenly i felt guilty.
"dad , I'm really sorry , is just that I'm worried about you" i said , looking down into my cup that is now empty.
"I'm fine my dear , just a little bit exhausted" he said while giving me a sad smile.
maybe I'm just overreacting .......
