A few years ago my life got turned completely upside down. It was the summer after my sophomore year in high school and I had come home from my boarding school in London, England to my hometown Cleveland, Ohio.
My parents have been divorced since I was little and I lived with my mom, seeing my dad whenever I pleased. One day I was sitting around and talking with my dad. I really love my dad a bunch.
"You know McKenzie. If you lived with me you wouldn't have to board all the way in England." he told me.
"But I like it there.I get to spend a lot of time with family over in Ireland that I rarely saw before I started going to school there." I replied.
"I understand. It's just that I always enjoy having you safe at home. And I'd enjoy having you nearby more."
"I am safe in London, Daddy. And I'm always with you no matter how far away I am."
What lovely times I have with my dad! Anyways, I wanted to go see my older sister as soon as I could so I went over the next day since she was really busy. I was having fun spending time with her and her kids, Matthew and Nicole- they're twins- until she brought up one of my least favorite subjects.
"Did you think about what I said when you came home last?" she asked.
"Cassie, I appreciate what your trying to do but but I just can't!"
"I think you should at least consider moving in with me and get a chance at a normal high school experience." Cassie said for about the 100th time. Cassie went to the public high school in our neighborhood and was Miss Popularity. Homecoming Queen, Class Prez, Head Cheerleader, catching my drift here? I think I need not continue...
"I am getting a normal high school experience. A lot of kids go to boarding school and plus I get to see Greg and all our family in Mullingar. Can we just not talk about this? Please?"
"Fine. For now."
A week went by and I got to see some old friends and hang out. One morning, I got a phone call.
"Hey Niall! How's my favorite Irish cousin?" I said answering the call.
"Greg's good. I miss you too."
"I was talking about you dummy. And I miss you too. It's weird how I practically live at your parents house and never see you anymore."
"Yeah but when you come back for school I'll be back and maybe you'll finally get to meet the lads!"
"Ah the four famous boys I've been waiting so anxiously waiting to meet. Have I ever told you that your stories are... inspiring and I love your melodic voices?"
"Yes you have. Plenty. So what's up?"
"I've been thinking-"
"Uh oh! Kenzie's been thinking! That's never good!"
"Haha Niall. I'm trying to be serious!"
"Ok I'm sorry. Continue."
"As I was saying, I've been thinking. My parents and Cassie, everything's just becoming to much to handle. I want to get emancipated and come live with you."
"Wow McKenzie. Your right, that is some serious stuff. I am totally ok with it as long as your ready to do this."
"I am. But I want to have it all settled before my junior year."
"I'll see what I can do. Keep in touch? I gotta go, Louis is trying to feed Kevin again!"
I laughed. "You guys are hilarious. I'll talk to you later. Bye Niall. Tell Greg and your parents I say 'Hi'."
"I will. Bye Kenz."
