Chapter 10
Liberty walked into her parent's house and over to the desk were her father was sitting. "This is who will give a 16 year old mother a scholarship" she said throwing the award letter on the desk in front of him, he picked the paper up and started to read it "That's right a full scholarship plus 3000 dollars a year."
Mr. Van Zandt sat there speechless.
Mrs. Van Zandt came from the kitchen "Congratulation Liberty I am so proud of you"
"Thanks mom" Liberty said to her mother and then turn her attention back to her father.
"I told you I would go to college," She said taking the letter out of his hands. "You said that you would try to except JT, and my new life but you didn't try you just put it down. Well guess what I am going to college this is not the only scholarship I have applied to. I will get more money maybe JT will be able to go too if I get enough." She said and then started to walk to the door. She stopped and turned around to face her father again. "And you know what father I did it all without you. I don't need you to go to college so if you want to continue to not accept my life that is fine because I don't need you. I just wanted to let you know that I can do it with or without you" Liberty turned back around and started towards the door again.
Mrs. Van Zandt looked at her husband and lipped the words. "Say something" but Mr. Van Zandt sat speechless as Liberty walked out the door to JT's car and drove off. "I can't believe you. You are driving our daughter away and I won't let you. I will not lose her and our grandson Charles."
Mr. Van Zandt sighed, "I just want what's best for her Lisa." He said to his wife.
"She has to grow up now she is a mother whether you like it or not and she can make her own decisions, she is making her own decision and you better learn to accept it before you lose her forever."
"She thinks she has everything all figured out but she has no idea what she is getting into, she is going to fall flat on her face" Mr. Van Zandt said to his wife.
"Maybe that is true but don't you want to be there to help her if she falls. If you keep going like this she will never speak to you again." Mrs. Van Zandt said and then soften her voice "Charles do you realize that you daughter just came in her and told you that she won a full scholarship and you didn't say anything"
"I am just scared for her Lisa" Mr. Van Zandt said in a soft voice with tears in his eyes.
"Well maybe you should tell her that" Mrs. Van Zandt said and then walked into the kitchen to finish cooking leaving Mr. Van Zandt there thinking.
