Chapter One: You Can Turn Sad News Into Good News
Lucas and his parents, Keith and Karen Roe, sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast. Lucas and Keith were the only ones who were eating while Karen was getting the glasses of orange juice and putting them near their plates. When she was done, she sat across from Keith and next to Lucas, each of them having their own side at the table.
Karen looked at Keith before she started talking. "Lucas. Umm your father and I have been thinking about this for awhile and we decided this morning before you got up".
Lucas turned his head to look at Keith and then back at Karen. "About?"
Keith then started talking. "About moving."
Lucas stopped eating and put his fork down. "What where?" asked Lucas.
"New York. I can open up a Café there and get more business then we do here. It's a small town and New York is a lot bigger so there can be a huge business opportunity there."
"What about Haley? I can't leave her here by herself. Basically none of her best friends still live here anymore." Asked Lucas concerned about Haley.
Keith then looked at Karen before again looking at Lucas. "Although we would rather you come with us, you can stay here by yourself. You are 21."
Lucas then got up from the table and went to stand by the sink. "You know I wouldn't be able to support myself." Lucas then thought of an idea. "Would you let Haley come with us?"
Karen laughed. "Supporting yourself. That was funny." She then turned her face expression into a serious one. "If it's okay with her parents, she can come with us. But if she can't come you still have to come with us remember. We have to think of our family and what is best."
