My mom hadn't been working for a few days now, the weird part of it all was that Savannah was still here. When she didn't work before, she never let Camila be here.
I put my book down and walked towards the door, standing in the doorway as I tried to hear what they were talking about.
"I know this might be too much to ask... You can say no, I've laid out the deal and now it's up to you to decide," my mom said.
"Can I think about it?" Savannah asked.
"Of course, no pressure."
"Are you sure this is best for him?" Savannah asked.
"I'm not going to be here forever, am I?"
I closed my eyes.
I didn't exactly know what they were taking about, but it for sure had to do with me.
"I just need someone who can teach him to grow up, I can't take care of him forever..." my mom said.
She really wasn't going to be here for ever, was she?
I walked over to my bed, not wanting to hear anymore. I picked up my book and closed it, placing it on the nightstand.
Why Savannah? Why not Camila?
Camila
"Come on cheer up! Look! It's a jellyfish! Isn't it pretty?" Lauren said.
"Yeah," I replied staring at the jellyfish roaming around in the water. "Deadly too."
I diverted my sight from the jellyfish and looked around. Some children started running back and forth and their parents began yelling at them to stop.
I noticed how many families were here. It was a saturday afternoon of course there were families here. They all looked so happy together and that's when it hit me. I miss my family.
I hadn't seen them in a almost a year. Maybe it was time to move back to San Francisco
"Lauren."
I turned around and founded her extrememly close to the glass looking at the fish in awe.
"Do you think it's like finding memo in there?" she asked.
"Maybe," I replied.
After a few more hours of looking around the aquarium we went out for dinner. While we ate she told me about her boyfriend and how they were going on a trip to Hawaii.
"You should come," she said.
"Oh no, I don't want ruin a fun trip for you guys," I said.
We drove home afterwards, I dropped her off and went back to the house. Time to start packing.
