Chapter Nineteen

A few days into August, two days before we were supposed to go home, dad called me into the living room for a little talk. Mom and Grandpa were in town doing a little shopping and running some errands. I was in the process of starting to pack; taking pictures, getting an inventory of my things and making sure I had enough room in my suitcase for everything. I’m a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to my things and packing them.

I was enjoying the last days in my room. I talked to Katie a lot and we had made plans for our last night together. Katie talked me into throwing a pasture party in one of Grandpa’s fields. We picked the spot out yesterday, it was perfect! In a clearing, about two hundred feet from the house, laid the perfect spot for a party. It was far enough away from the house that we would be well hidden as long as we kept the noise down. We couldn’t get electricity out there but that’s what pickup trucks were for! As far as Steven went, we talked after the party. I met him for dinner and we made out afterwards but I didn’t feel as attracted to him as I one did. We made plans to hang out again before I left for New York. I think the poor boy believes it will be the big night for him.

My parents had a Saturday morning flight set out of Austin for nine o’clock in the morning the day of our departure. Our plan was to start the party around ten o’clock Friday night and end it before six o’clock Saturday morning. I didn’t care if I didn’t get any sleep, it would be worth it! It would be an awesome way to leave this town.

“Regina!” Dad called out. “Come in here for a moment.”

He was sitting in one of the softer sofa chairs. He had his glasses on the bridge of his nose, relaxing and reading the newspaper. I saw his shoes by the side of the chair; his feet were up on an ottoman. I knew dad would miss being here. He seemed to finally relax and let himself be. He couldn’t do that in New York.

“What’s up dad?” I asked, sitting down on the ottoman.

“Sweetie, there isn’t any better way to say this. Your mother and I are not ready to leave yet. She worries about your grandfather and if he will be ok after we leave. So we are going to stay for a little longer”

I couldn’t breathe. I knew this was going to happen so I don’t know why I reacted so badly. Somewhere inside me, I knew my parents would find a way to keep us here. They were so different and our lives changed so drastically, we were unrecognizable. Dad was no longer the uptight financial advisor and mom was far from the news anchor she once was. Trying to find a place for air in my lungs, I thought quickly of a solution.
