It was a warm spring day for May 11. Today was my birthday, I am finally seventeen. The only thing I asked from my parents for this time was that I can move to La-push. By myself, I thought they would scream and yell at me when I asked but instead they sat me down and said yes!
Never in my head had I thought it would go this smoothly.
''Marie, me and your mother have Ben thinking'' He sat up straight and looked me in the eyes. I could tell he was having a hard time.
''Dad I will understand if you want me to wait one more year but..'' He cut me off before I could finish, I could see tears well up in my mothers eyes.
''Honey'' My mother said as a tear streaked down her face.
''We just want you to be happy, And I see the reason for you moving'' She said.
But how, The only real reason why I want to move is for my work. I am a photographer for the towns nature magazine. The thought of La-push and the great surroundings made me thing of the pictures I could take.
Before I could think much more my father interrupted my thoughts.
''We know you liked the scenery and the wildlife there, and we thought it will help you Carree. So we both decided that if you asked we would say yes on one condicion''
I knew it was to good to be true. But If it means I can still move lets hear it!!
''You must stay in contact every day. You are still not an adult, so we need to know what is going on'' My mother spoke this time.
''You will still be attending school every day. We will help you find a place to live'' I could tell there was more but so far it was good.
''We will help you buy every thing that is necessary to live on your own. One more thing, We know we can't stop you from having boys over but please be carefull''
When my mother was finally done speaking and my dad nodded in approval, I ran over to the both of them and gave a great big hug and kiss to show my appreciation. This was going to great, I will be living on my own and taking pictures for a living. Nothing could be better in my life right at this moment.
''Wait what is my budget on a apartment?''I asked.
''We will wait and see it depends on what you find''My father said.
''Thank you so much..oh this is so great. Your the best parents ever''
As I make may up to my room with it lilac walls and cherry wood furnishings, It hits me ''on my own'' Kind of a scary thought but, It wont stop me. This is what i have wanted sense I was 13, To go out on my own and become a very skilled photographer. Which if I say so myself I already am. I first change out of my sweats and exchange them for some sturdy jeans..name brand..ad a tank top. Not only did I love photography but I also love cloths. I have spent most of my savings from working on designer clothing.
I turned my computer on and sat down.
''first things first find a place to live. Oh this is just great ! I am finally fulfilling my dream''
I typed in La-push on Google and searched for apartments for rent. At first I found almost nothing, But then a cute little house on the out side of the reservation caught my eye. Belonged to a Sue Clearwater, said she moved out and her son Seth Clearwater is looking for a room mate.
''HEY!! sounds perfect, and mom and dad know I wont be alone''
At the bottom of the ad there was a phone number and a address. Writing them down so I wouldn't forget, I started to smell something from the kitchen. My room was just down the hall. The aroma got so Strong i had to drop what I was doing a and go look.
''Mom what is that amazing smell''
''That would be your favorite dinner''
'' Yeah!!!! SPAGHETTI.. oh thank you mom so much. Mmmm it smells so good I cant wait to eat it''
''Then go wash your hand because its almost done''
I raced to the bathroom as fast as I could almost taking my father out as he turned to go to the kitchen.
''Woah slow down there turbo, no ones going to eat your dinner'' My dad said with a big smile plastered on his face.
As I am in my bathroom washing my hands I can hear my parents talk.
''Honey, isn't she going up so fast. One day she was just a baby now shes all grown up and moving away'' This time my dad didn't seem so happy when he talked.
''I know but this is what we did when we were young and it would be wrong to stop her. Maby she will even get over that boy...'' Before my mother could finish I dashed into the kitchen and sat at the table.
''OK.. I'm ready for food'' Tyring to avoid the conversation my parents had in my head.
''Right okay then Robert will you set the table, after all today is your daughters birthday'' She said with a sorry look on her face. She could tell I heard what they were talking about.
''Okay, Oh Marie, honey, don't forget to send in a admission slip for school or you wont be going'' He reminded me.
'' K thanks dad, Mmmm mom this is delicious!''
''thank you so you found any living arrangements yet?''
Yes this is the perfect time to tell her about the house I found.
''Yes I did, And it has a room mate..before you ask questions..It is a guy and he is my age from what I have read''
''After I am done eating and out of the shower I was planing on calling and seeing what they wanted for rent and how soon I could move in'' Hope they say yes.
My father spoke this time. ''Wow, well ok then if they say yes you can move tomorrow if you like''
What did he just really say that? I will definitely call tonight.
''Thank you so much. I hope every thing works out!'' I said.
''You welcome now put your plate in the sink and hurry up with that shower, when your out make the call and if they say yes start packing'' My mom said.
''Tomarrow we will go shopping for furniture and other house hold items''
''Oh. ! this is so great'' I yelled in happiness.
I took my shower and got dressed. As I went to pick up the phone I grabbed the paper with the number on it and looked at my computer screen. There was a gorgeous boy in front of the tiny house for rent. I thought my heart just skipped a beat.
''That's going to be my room mate. Better not show Dad''
