hold things down-ch.4

        I guess we were going to New York for a weekend. I texted my mom that we would come to visit. I can't believe I'm going back to New york. I mean there is always time to blackout which I probably will. I just can't imagine going back there, no matter how many times Carlos Tells me it's going to be ok. 

I got to the station early, to talk to my dad 

I stepped into his office " hey dad"

He looked at me " TK you're an hour early"

I looked at him " we have to talk... I need to!" 

He looked at me " what's wrong?"

I looked at him "Mom called me... and she wants Carlos and I to come to visit with Hazel..."

He looked at me " you haven't been back there since..."

I interrupted " since we moved to Texas"

He looked at me " what's going on TK...?"

I looked at him " I don't know if I can do it... dad"

He looked at me " hey son you know what I could go with you guys!"

I looked at him " no you have to hold things down here at the station."

He looked at me " Judd could hold things down for just a few days..."

I looked at him " no dad that's ok... I'm just freaking out but Carlos and I are going to do this together and I just got to do it."

He hugged me " if you change your mind..."

I looked at him "I'll let you know if I do"
