My dad and I were sitting at the table eating dinner in silence.

"So... what do you want to do tomorrow?" Dad asked, trying to break the silence.

"I have school, tomorrow dad," James retorted. 

"Oh ok," Dad responded.

"I'm done eating," James got up from the table and began walking away.

"Wait," Dad said.

James turned around to face his dad. "What?"

"I love you," Dad smiled.

"Sure you do," James said as he walked up the stairs. He went into his room opened the door and an old musty smell came out of the room. He rolled his eyes and went in and shut the door behind him. He sat on the bed, it was like sitting on a hard rocking chair. 

So my dad has no job, no money, and no life. Well great. This next 5 years will be fun. James thought. He laid down on his bed and took out his phone. He began texting Daniel (One of his friends.) 

Hey, James sent.

Hey bro, how are you?

Crappy.

How come?

James gave him the whole story with his mom and how he had to move in with his dad.

Wow. I can't believe that happened to you. 

Yeah, I can hardly believe it myself. James replied.

Well, bro, I have to go, but I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Bye

James turned off his phone and laid down. A few minutes later he fell asleep.
