Chapter 28-Summer
Well, my boyfriend told me that he couldn't come with me during my fall break two weeks ago. He's probably busy anyway and my father is coming with me to see my family again. I still can't believe that my parents get along so well because a lot of parents don't get along very well after a divorce. Then again, they were best friends for a very long time before they started to date. My dad is still mopey, but he is getting through it. There was still a dullness in his eyes when I saw him last.
How is my mum coping with everything? My mum, Sophia, is doing surprisingly well from what I heard from her. She said that was able to focus on her art more without the distractions from my father and me. She misses me though. She also said that she has been seeing someone during the divorce and the man's name was Nick. She said that he was a business owner of a disc jockey company and I would be able to meet him during my break. I'm nervous to meet him for multiple reasons because I still have social issues with strangers, but I'm taking care of it.
Anyway, my father told me that he came home today so I have to pick him up and then we leave for Florida. I planned on taking my car, but he told me to take his car. With an argument that lasted for twenty minutes, I end up taking the Addison Lee to get to the airport. I pack my purse, suitcase, and my carry-on and walked out to the taxi that is waiting for me out front. "Where to, miss?" The driver asked. "Heathrow Airport, please." I told the man and we drove off. I stared out the window, in taking my surroundings of my current home before I leave London.
A half an hour later without delays, I arrive to the airport and I paid the seventy six pounds. The man smiled and then drove off and I was left at the entrance of a busy international airport. I took a deep breath and walked in with my bags at hand. I looked around the airport where my father told me to meet him at a specific spot as you walk in. I looked around the area and sat on my suitcase and texted Marie and Harry. As I was texting Harry and Marie, a hand touched my right shoulder. I didn't expect someone to touch me and I was going to drop-kick them and run because that is my instinct. I turned around and saw that it was my father with his bags. "Dad, you scared me to death." I said to him as my hand was over my heart. "Rubbish, now give me a hug because I have missed you too much. It feels like I haven't seen you since I changed your nappy." He said, making me roll my eyes and giving him a hug.
"You know that you were only gone for a couple of weeks, right? Plus, we Skyped every night anyway. Was Harry with you?" I said, looking around the airport. "No. Sorry, love, he worked with the team in Japan for a couple of days. No worries, you will see him before your break is over." He said as he guided me to our terminal. I hope he is doing okay with work in Japan.
"How was the trip?" I ask him as we wait for the flight. It was a Friday afternoon now and I had my classes this morning. I have only three classes on Friday and the classes only last an hour each. If I get home around the time I believe I will be I should be able to make it to the football game at my old school according to Marie. "Summer, you okay?" He asked me while waving his hand in front of my face. "Yea, sorry. I'm excited to go home and see mum even though London is my home too." I admit. "You'll get there -" He said before he got caught off by the intercom.
"Flight to Ft. Lauderdale is now boarding." The intercom said which was our cue to board the flight and I grab his arm and walk to the entrance. My dad smiles at me as he watches me get settled into my seat. I didn't notice before, but the spark is finally coming back into his eyes. It is 2:30 now and hopefully I land soon. For now, I will close my eyes and listen to any song my MP3 will play.
++++++++
I must have fallen sleep because the bumpy landing woke me up. I groan and try to fall asleep once again by turning over. "Well, good morning to you too." He said with a smirk. I smile and get up. I grab my carry-on and my purse and get off the plane where my father is waiting for me.
