Being Josh Ramsay's Daughter

Stay With Me

My phone began to ring and I looked at Brad.

"Who is it?" Brad asked.

"My mom." I said, worried.

"Answer it!" Brad screamed.

I answered it and listened because she started talking right away.

"I was thinking and I think it would be best if you came to live with me instead of your father now. I'm a little bit more mature and definitely more financially stable and every girl should live with their mother." She babbled.

"No." I said, seeming I was silent compared to her.

"What why?!" She seemed hurt.

"I have lived with Daddy forever. I will visit you but I will NOT live with you!"

"But darling..." She begged.

"No!" I shouted and hung up the phone.

*******

After Brad left, I told Dad about the phone call.

"Cadi. It is up to you." He seemed very sad as he spoke.

"Daddy. I made my choice."

"And..." He said in a hopeful voice.

"I'd never leave you. Like I said to her."

"You'd really rather stay with me?" He asked, sounding surprised.

"Forever Daddy." I gave him a big hug and he began to sing to me.

I would never be happy if I moved away from Dad.
