We all looked at my father with worried expressions on our face . "What's the news already?!" My sister asked impatiently.
"You know because of my job, we move around a lot."My dad paused and looked at us, then continued "Well, my boss said I have to move again, I got a new job offer. He looked up at us to see our reaction.
We move frequently because of my dads job. So far we have moved to Florida, Africa and Atlanta. We are currently living in Atlanta. The other places we went to, we stayed shorter there, about 6 months the most. I've got pretty used to it now, but I really like it here. I'm not that mad that we are leaving though on the other hand, my family may take this hard. I'm excited but sad and the same time its a weird emotion to have, it seems like I have that emotion often.
"So you're moving ?" My grandpa asked to just to clarify things.
"No we're moving. As a family." Immediately my sister started yelling at dad.
"WHAT !!!!! YOU JUST WANT US TO PICK UP OUR LIVES AND GO WITH YOU, TO WHO KNOWS WHERE!! ??? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!??I HAVE MY FRIENDS HERE, MY BOYFRIEND....." she yelled making fast hand gestures.
"More like boyfriends" David interrupted her.
Ignoring or choosing not to hear, she says "The point is I DON'T want to leave !".
"Calm down Stacy" my mom says "Your dad is trying to tell you guys something, so just hear him out. Okay ?"
"We are going to Paris in a few days so that should be enough time to hang out with your friends before we leave." He pauses then before he gets up, he says "No further discussion."
"AAAAARRGGHHH!" my sister exclaimed and goes straight to her room stomping. My grandpa just sits there staring at the wooden floor. I feel bad for him because he's always lived here ever since he was a kid. We moved here to stay with him, but now he has to leave the place he spent his childhood in. On the other hand my grandma looks happy and delighted to go to Paris. She's always talked about going to Paris or do I quote "the city of love. My brother goes to the kitchen table and starts his laptop on.
I leave my brother and grandparents downstairs and walk upstairs to get ready for bed. I change out of my house clothes and into my cotton pajama bottoms and an old Beatles band tee. I grabbed some chocolate bars and checked my phone. There was 2 text messages and missed calls. The texts were from Justin my best friend and Rachel.
Hey Stacy I called text me back - Justin
HEYOO! OMG! I have some big news to tell you -Rachel
