All I have to do is tell him; surely it can't be that bad. No I can't tell, not in front of mum and dad.
Well, mums still shouting at dad and thinks that I can't hear her, she's saying "look, Graham I don't think that now's the time, let's just wait a little until Becky and Luke get used to their new home." Dad mumbles something I can't quite hear and mum replies with "I still don't see your view..."
Now I'm interested, their talking about me surely it can't be wrong. But I can't, my legs still aren't listening, "I don't want to move like this settee I love my tea!" it's too late I'm pouncing into the garden hoping to catch some of the conversation.
"Hi love" said dad in an unfamiliar tone of voice.
"Hi dad, I missed you so much! Our holiday was amazing. Luke grew his hair long and looked so laid back, he didn't speak once about work. Did you hear Brandon Communications have taken over another group?" I try to sound pleased and think that it's working, however I'm not too keen on the idea, he would work until 12 at night leaving me at the house all alone for ages.
"Love, do you want another cup of tea?" Mum always wants to get out of conversations that she might find tricky, she's always has done this, ever since I were little so I understand.
"Yes please mum, I'd love one," This isn't strictly true but I really need to speak to dad alone. Right. I'm going to tell dad, I can't worry mum not now. "Umm dad I've got myself into a spot of bother" Look Becky you can't hide it you just need to tell him. "well..." I stop buying some time, "I'm sort of overdrawn." I watch dads face fall. oh great. what a great feeling, why did I do that? surely I could have do that another way! dads voice interrupts my thoughts,
"ok love." he tries to give a little smile which doesn't look too good "I'm sure well sort something out." He pauses for thought. "Does Luke know this?"
what do I say now? I need help! "Err, nope" I try to sound a young as possible to make dad feel less worried, like when you were little, that kind of voice. I'm sure it sounds good too!
Fuck! I watch his face fall. He looks although I've just shot someone. My minds whizzing and whirling around. What if he calls mum? I don't want her to know, she will tell everyone! Thats including Janice and Martin(our neighbors) then they would help blabbing it around the whole village. it would be nice though people giving me money to help me out!I could buy a new Tiffany clock to match the others. Becky, don't think like that thats not the adult way to think!
