Falling For You

Chapter 2

The next day, my parents were silent to me. They ignored my comments and didn't even bother to say good morning. It was a Saturday. I loved saturdays! My dad and I would go fishing or go to the movies.

"Dad, are we going fishing today?"

My dad didn't reply. He just moved his head side to side. Which meant no, obviously.

I left the room and went to my room. I wanted to text Beth but I was too afraid. What if she didn't reply? Or what if her parents have her phone! They would see the message I would send her.

I yelled across the kitchen,

"You tell me why you and Beth's parents are enemies? Huh? Why are you guys so mad at eachother! Obviously you don't want me to date Beth because of something!!"

My mom looked at me surprised. Then said.

"Honey, we went to the inspection place yesterday night. They haven't told us who the person you were with was yet. But I guess we know now..."

I forgot that they don't know about who I was with!

"Mom, uh, can you just tell me the reason why you are fighting!!! I love Beth, now I need her back. Because of you and her parents I can't be happy."

My parents looked at eachother and said...
