MIAMI BAIT BOY

"Are you sure you'll be ok here by yourself Bret?I just couldn't forgive myself if anything were to happend to you while im gone."

"Mom dont worry about me,Grandma needs you to be there for her,plus who would take care of the bait shop if i were to go with you?"

"Oh I know honey,it just really enrages me by the fact your father couldn't be here with you,it just" she hesitated." it just makes me really angry!" I could tell she was just about ready to break out into tears."Mom ill be fine, i mean im turning seventeen next month,im basically an adult."

"And thats what scares me the most, your growing up way to fast i wish i could just stop the clocks."She began to whipe the tears from her eyes."Mom your acting like your never going to come back, ill be perfectly fine."She stroked my hair.

"Promise you wont get into any troble while im gone?"

"I promise, i mean what kind of trouble could I get into other wise ? It's only a month."

"I guess your right."
She then reached out her arms and gave me a big hug,
"if you need Anything be sure to call." she started to the door and looked back one last time.
"see you in 4 weeks, i love you."

"love you too."
she then got into her bright blue car and started drivng off.

Honestly i think she over reacted.
I mean I get that shes just trying to be sure ill be safe and all but i feel like she thinks I'm not mature enough to be left alone.Well im practically and adult! And im very capable of being left alone for a while, i just wish she could see that.
I guess all she sees is what everybody else does,a venerable skinny sun tan boy with dirty blonde hair who works for a bait shop.Yes i work at a bait shop, that actually belonged to my father who's guess what, in prison right now.Why is he in prioson? because he sank a ship thats why! The S.S NELSON,which just so happens to belong to Henry Nelson, a.k.a, dads worst enime.
You see Henry Nelson
or as dad use to call him Bigship,
is this rich middle aged Guy who pays thousands a year to keep his ships docked at Ocean Shell Way beach in Miami Florida.
He owns about five ships which are all pretty popular, but The S.S NELSON is the most popular out of the five,well was. The S.S NELSON was this cruise ship which I heard was super expensive but in the end totally worth it. I don't want to offend my dad or anything but I actually really wanted to go on it,but its too late anyway.
I Don't know for sure why my dad sank the ship but I think I have a clue. Dad has a bait shop super close to where Bigship keeps all his ships.He has this special permit that allows him to go out to the sea and fish for krill,clams and things like that to sell in his shop.
But Dad started to complain about the recent drop of marine life down by his fishing spot.He hardly wouldn't collect more then about twenty of krill and clams in each fishing trip but yet the population of all the marine life at his fishing spot was drooping critically. I guess this was ticking Dad off cause he pays quite a lot to keep that fishing spot. But I guess Dad just then rememberd that Bigship sails his ship right down his fishing spot which made Dad assume he was dumping The
S.S NELSON'S garbage into his fishing spot.
He went by Bigship complaining about the problem but Bigship never would come out and say it was him. But no! That never satisfied Dad and he just went ahead and sank the ship anyways! But what did didnt know was that Bigship had footage of him sinking the ship from his survailience cameras. And since he couldn't afford the million to replace it he got arrested and is now severing a twenty year sentence in prison. So now to make a living i work
for the bait shop, I am now, The Miami Bait Boy.
