Last Friday Night ~ tamber

So I corrected the chapters because some things didn't match. I also added a few scenes. This is where I changed the most: 9, 10, 14, 17, 18, 27 and 36. But I corrected all of them.

It was a relief to finally sleep in my bed. The room on the ship was comfortable, but nowhere is it as comfortable as in your own room. I stretched contentedly and sighed. I have to come back to reality again. Annoying parents, school and all that shit.

At least I still have time to rest. Tomorrow is Friday and Mindy is having some big party. This will be a premature end to Spring Break. I haven't decided yet whether I will go. The most important thing now is for me to rest. I have about three days left for this. Maybe it's time to do something meaningful in life? Peaceful and valuable. I will paint something, read a book. I don't know. But I don't want anything to spoil my days off from school.

I got out of bed, grabbed my phone and went downstairs. It's weird seeing parents together in the kitchen eating breakfast. They are always so busy. Dad with work, mom with spending money. But maybe this will all settle down? I'm going to listen to them from now on. I could have done it from the beginning. This will be the best for me.

— Good morning — I said and stood next to the table

They looked at me and nodded. They're still a little offended by our conversation about Jill. I'll fix it. I just want peace.

— Listen, I know I overreacted. And I'm sorry — I said it completely honestly — I will do as you want, okay?

I can't live in the past. Jill is different now and so am I. We'll get through this together.

— You're finally acting wisely — father told me and even smiled a little

Is he proud of me? Have I lived to see this day?

— You don't know how happy I was when you hugged Jill for goodbye — mom said

I smiled at her and something stirred in my stomach. I hugged her tightly then because it gave me comfort. She made me feel less hopeless and naive.

Tara didn't come home with us. Sam picked her up and glared at me with madness. She's angry that her little sister went on a cruise with us. But hey, she doesn't have to worry about me anymore.

— I think our relationship can work.

— This would be best for the company — dad said — And for you. No one will take care of you like Jill. She had bad moments, but she's a great girl.

Of course. And everything that happened a few years ago no longer exists. It would be best to forget and build it all over again. Forget the past, new start. I really think we can handle it.

— Everyone has bad times sometimes. And I want you to know that...I am clean. It will be a month soon.

— That's great, honey. Keep it up — mom told me and I felt uncomfortable

"Honey"...it just doesn't sound normal coming from her mouth.

This is probably the nicest conversation I've had with them.

— Eat something, I'll pour you some coffee — dad suggested

— Thanks — I smiled

— I'll make your favorite soup for dinner — mom said and handle me a plate

I sat down at the table with them, unable to contain my happiness. So all I had to do, was to get back together with Jill to get my family back?

— Amber — dad said and looked at me — We know, we weren't the best parents, but we're family. Remember that.
