Only Her

Chapter 2

Souhaila aka Sou's Point Of Vieuw:

That morning I was up before my (new) alarm could wake me, I turned the alarm off and jumped off my bed. I wanted to know what my dad wanted to tell me, I wanted to ask him why there were boxes, I don't want to move. My school is great, except the teachers... I have awesome friends. I sighed. I walked to my bathroom, took a shower. Finally I had time to shower. Well this doesn't mean I'm going to wake up at 5:30am every morning. I got dressed and did my hair. I walked downstairs. I wanted to be fast enough so I wouldn't miss my dad, some days he's already at his work, then he just leaves a note on the kitchen table. When I was in the kitchen I saw my dad sitting at the kitchen table drinking some coffee.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Why are you up so early?'

"Well, you wanted to ask me something." I looked him right in the eye. He put his coffee down. And looked up at me.

"You probably found out already were moving." I nodded in respons.

"When do we move?"

"Thursday."

"That's in 2 days!" I almost shouted.

"Calm down, you don't go to school tomorrow, and we have the whole Thursday to pack. We leave the house around 9pm. Our plane is at 11pm." He looked down at his steaming cup.

I stared at him with big eyes. "Plane?!"

"I got a job offer, and I couldn't refuse it sweety." He looked like he felt guilty.

I looked at the ceiling. I took a deep breath. I looked back at my dad and sat down next to him. I took his hand.

"Dad, where are we going?" I said calmly.

"California." He mumbled.

My eyes widen. "I have two thoughts about this."

My dad looked at me with his chocolate brown eyes.

"What are they?"

"First, California is great!" I said with a big smile across my face.

"But?"

"My friends." I looked down at the table. Focusing on a bottle of water.

My dad smiled softly. He sighed.

"I know." He said queitly, but just loud enough so that I could hear it.

"Dad, Cali will be great no doubt about that, but what about Kaat? And Melissa? And Emi?"

"They can always visit!" He said smiling. He could see in my eyes I kinda wanted to move to California, I loved the place, the sun, the beaches.. it was my dream vacation. I love America.

"Okay. I'll tell them, about me moving." I whispered.

Dad rubbed my back. He nodded at me and smiled.

"Thank you for understanding."

I nodded.

He gave me a small kiss on my forehead and waved goodbye, he had to do a couple of things before leaving.

I stared down and saw Blake looking at the table waiting for food. I laughed and threw a piece of bacon at him. He ran away with it, like he always does.

So me, my dad, and my dog, will have a fresh start in California.

It can't be that bad, my mom wouldn't mind either that we would stay here or not.

For my dad it will be good too, it will be easier for him to get over mom. I knew he always smiled at me, but deep down there he was broken. He loved my mom, and he always said he was even happier he had two versions of my mom. She, and me. I looked exactly like my mom, so I remind my dad. Maybe that's good.. I stood up and walked around the house. I had a lot of memories here.
