Before the kiss …...
Freddie was doing good for himself, with his help with iCarly the show is still an success. So good that a man from there local TV production company in Settle, Mr. Daniel Watson asked for my help in his company. He believes that I can make the company a hit. So he's offered a paid internship for a year and a big pay up before I even started. I always wanted a career in the Production industry, more like entertainment business, or game and web design. Either way it does hurt to have this internship on my resume. My only problem is of course is my mother.
Our relationship has become like a roller coaster. I thought after the talk that she will start treating me better. I mean "come on". Im sixteen, I make good grades, I don't get in trouble , Im respectful to all adults. But she want let me make my own decisions. I think its time for another talk.
Freddie walked into his apartment seeing his mother in the kitchen. Mrs. Benson turned around with dish towel in her hand. She smiled at me and clapped her hands. "Good your home! I just prepared your bath and this time I let you bathe yourself!"
"Mom we need to talk." Mrs. Benson smile slowly faded. Freddie took off his backpack and sat down at the dining table. Mrs. Benson walked to the table and sat down. Freddie took the letter that Mr. Watson sent in the mail to him on the table.
" I want to discuss this letter mom. This opportunity is once in a lifetime opportunity. If I can help produce these shows and make them successful this could be what I need to get into the college of my choice."
"I know son, but there will be other opportunities that will come to you. You shouldn't worry about that. You want have anytime for me and ..."
"Mom stop there. Your doing it again. Geesh can I have some freedom. Mom I love you you know that right? But you have to let me grow, if not now when Im still talking to you what about when I leave for college and there's a chance I wont speak to you. Your pushing me away ma."
Mrs. Benson began crying, Freddie stood up and walked to his mother. He grabbed her hands and got on his knees in front of her. "Mom don't cry. Stop it!"
" Its just that I want to protect you from the world and I know whats best for you." Mrs. Benson sobbing quietly. "Mother I know you think your doing the best for me but I know whats best for me. If I need any help I promise you will be the first to know. You are my mother and I think highly of you, but you have to let me learn on my own. "
Mrs. Benson still sobbing silently. Freddie stood up and put his hands in his pockets. "That's why I'm taking Mr. Watson offer. Im gonna work for him and also mom I moving out...again."
"What! But Freddie I'll do better I promise!"
"Its not about you mom. Not right now its not. Its about me ma." Freddie sighed. " Consider this my 2 weeks notice."
Freddie grabbed his backpack from the floor and walked out the front door.
