"Yeah sure honey, I also have some thing I would like to discus with you" declared my father.
He peered over to my mom and she just nodded. He asked if we could talk upstairs. I gave him a look of agreement and we made our way upstairs. He took my into him and my moms bedroom. As I enter I saw boxes everywhere and only a bit of them filled with clothes. He looked at me and smiled.
"We're going on another adventure! The next move is in New York!" he exclaimed.
"Dad I knew we were moving that's why I came to talk to you-"
"It's great right and this job offer is really going to help us" he interrupted.
"I know but-"
"Don't worry we're not moving until next week" he once again cut me off.
"DAD!" I semi yelled.
He was caught off guard and turned around to face me completely, giving me his undivided attention.
"Please listen to me" I begged.
He stood there and nodded with an unknown expression on his face that I couldn't quite read.
"I know that we move a lot because of your job but for once I am happy here. I never made friends in the past because I always put your job in front of my happiness. I was never able to fulfill my teenage years because I didn't have anyone my age to enjoy it with. Now being here in this town is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I have friends that I love and my passion for a game has grown stronger than ever. And the fact that I can play that game with friends is amazing. I don't expect you to change your mind right away, but I'm begging you to consider it. I love it here and for once I want to put my foot down and tell you how I feel."
I was shocked and how much those words just flew out of my mouth. But every single thing I said was true.
He stood there staring and me with tears almost falling out of my eyes. He then came and hugged me. I hugged him back and let a tear or two fall down on his shirt.
"I am so sorry baby. I never considered how you were taking these moves. And I know your happy here so I'll talk to mom and see what I can do to stop the move" he insisted.
My face grew wide with a big smile and I hugged him again repeating thank you over and over again. We pulled apart and he ruffled my hair, walking off.
I really had no way of reaching the boys and telling them the good news and I was too tired to walk to each of their houses. So I decided I would just tell them tomorrow morning at the Sandlot.
It was already 5 so I changed out of my clothes and took a long shower. I then sat on my bed and stared and the ceiling. I didn't have much to do so I just thought. I thought about how good my life is here with my friends. Ale, Kairi, Alvaro, Roshaun, Robert, and Mattia. Mattia. His name brought a smile to my face but it was soon gone when I realized they way he acted. I appeared at the sandlot sad and he doesn't care. I talk and he roles his eyes. Then I start crying and he comes over, hugs me, reassures me, and holds my face in his hands. What the hell kind of turn of events is that. Maybe he's bipolar. I don't know. I shrugged it off and decided to just lay down and snack until I fell asleep.
