"He's not dead ?"I asked my heart dropping
"No hunny he's not but you know I'll be dead soon"My mum said gently a tear crawling down my cheek
"I don't want to go live with him!he left you to bring up a child and your letting him take me in?he left because he didn't want me mum!what makes you think he wants me now?"I said raising my. Voice
"I don't know Astrid,maybe that I'm dying and you will be alone if you don't go live with him?"My my said raising her voice too causing her to cough
"Listen,I don't want this to happen but wouldn't You rather live with him than get adopted by a family?"She sighed "yeh probably!"I chuckled pathetically
"What's his last name?"I asked
"Posey"She smiled weakly
"Isn't there a famous actor called-"I started before she interrupted me
"Yes Tyler posey it's his son,you won't have to go to school"She smiled
"Wait where does he live?"I asked "LA"she sighed
"Ugh!why couldn't he die in the war?"I moaned frustrated
"Astrid Miller!"She shouted angrily
"What?"I shouted back
"You wouldn't be here if I wouldn't of met him so shut it and get on with it!your a strong lady you will pull through and I will smile from above!"He said tearing up "he'll be here soon so no being rude-"she started before there was a knock at the door
"Katherine?"He asked "Paul!"She smiled "Astrid meet your father Paul Posey"She smiled hugging him from her hospital bed "hi."I said quickly not looking at him "Hey Astrid!you look so grown up!"He laughed hugging me "yeah wish I could say the same about you but Iv never seen you"I smiled
"Oh uh."He laughed awkwardly
"Oh indeed"my mum said biting her lip and giving me the look 'I brought you into this world and I could happily take you out of it'
"I'm sorry"I smiled to Paul "no it's fine I totally understand are you excited to move to LA?"He asked "not really cause that means when I do that my mum is dead"I smiled
"Astrid!Get out!"My mum yelled "oh no it's fine Katherine I understand,really"he chuckled "yeah I sure hope you do"I snapped before closing the door behind me
How could she send me off with this man?
I'm leaving my friends so I'll have no shoulder to cry on when she dies
Get it together Astrid
I sighed heavily before entering the room again "I do apologise"I sighed to Paul "it's fine really!"He laughed
"Where was your war?"I asked trying to act interested in his pathetic life
"Oh Afghanistan"he smiled "Oh that's far how did you survive?and how come your back early?"I asked "I got shot in the hand"He said showing his hand which I did look at "oo painful so have you went back to LA yet or did you come straight here?"I asked "of course here to take you"He smiled "excuse me?shes not dead yet"I snapped
"But I wanted to spend time with her before she is"he snapped back " that's enough you two"she said interrupting us "Astrid your father wants to take you for dinner"she smiled
Yeah like that's work
I rolled my eyes
"Of course id love to"I fake smiled
"Go get ready babe"she smiled as I left the room
Pfff as if I'm changing for him
"I'm ready I left my clothes at the house"I lied
"Honey I sold our hous-"she started "he doesn't know that"I whispered  hugging my mum "love you"I smiled giving her a kiss on the forehead "love you more sweetie have fun"she smiled
I walked out the room to where he waited for me
