“Whoa! Turn it up dad.” He turns up the volume as I take a seat on the edge of the coffee table, in front of the tv, gazing intently at what the latest headline reads.

“Well honey. Told you school would be cancelled,” mom says. My hand flies to my forehead, holding it, squeezing it.

“Jesus! For how long?” I wonder out loud.

We all sit there, watching the news in silence for a while. I can’t believe another person has gone missing and someone from my school? This was nuts! Why her though? What did she do wrong? Every other victim had done something, but Julie? I don’t remember her doing anything to me. I can’t remember a damn thing. Maybe this was an unrelated case. The news wasn’t suggesting that she was another victim, but just a missing person. Yeah. This was just a missing person’s report. Julie did nothing to me. She wasn’t a victim to my mysterious list of people who have done me wrong and got their heads chopped off from it. No. Julie is innocent. She is innocent.

“We graduate in three months. I wonder how long they are going to suspend school for?”

“About that…” mom begins to say. I turn, glancing at the both of them.

“About what?” I ask.

“Emilia…” mom starts and struggles to finish.

“What?” I snap, waiting on her to answer. “Why are you both staring at me like you’ve got something to say but are too nervous to say it.”

“Why don’t you come sit next to us honey,” mom suggests.

“Umm, how about I don’t and just hear what ya’ll have to say right where I’m at.”

“Em… princess,” my dad begins. At this point, I’m just overly annoyed.

“Whaaaaat?” I ask in annoyance. My mom finally speaks,

“Em, your father and I have something we need to tell you,” she says.

“You’re pregnant. Congrats. Is it a boy or girl?” I dryly remark. They both giggle at one another and go all bashful. My parents are cute, too cute at times. They love each other. That is clear as day.

“No. Your mother and I are not expecting a baby, but we do have other news,” he clarifies.

“Oh my God. Did you get a raise? Can we finally afford to go to Hawaii for spring break?” I sarcastically joke.

My mom glances at my dad, looking to him to go on with whatever news they have for me.

“Well kiddo. I got the approval I sent in at the beginning of the week. Yes, I did get a raise, plus extra expenses to relocate. It’s going to be great baby. You’re going to love the new place,” he happily informs, but all my mind can register is leaving and that is just not possible.

Not possible at all.
