Chapter Eleven
Apologies and Open Doors
It had been no longer then two days, before Josh realized he needed to apologize to his brother. Jake made him realize something during their last argument. Jake needed to find himself again. They had both had to deal with so much, the loss of their father, dealing with working, and learning on two separate boats. Jake had his drug problem, and Josh had to clean up the pieces Jake left behind. Jake needed to find who he was without dad guiding him, and without Josh pushing him to do something, and without the influence of the drugs. This was something completely new for Jake, and Josh as well. Josh was always there to help where ever there needed help.
Once again, Josh found himself walking up to his brother's door, he knocked, and waited for an answer. Jake opened the door, and stared at Josh, before allowing him to come in. Josh walked into the livingroom, and sat down. "How have you been?" Josh asked.
"I'm good." Jake replied. There was an awkward pause, before Jake continued, "So what have I missed?
"Not much, man. I got a call from Johnathan, and there is going to be an interview with the Time Bandit crew, and the Northwestern crew about us. So, unfortunately, we have to leave for Dutch a week before the season actually starts."
"Sometimes I hate the show." Jake said, point-blank.
"I hear ya, bro."
"Josh, I'm sorry I left without saying anything."
"Its alright. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you for wanting to go find a girl."
"I wasn't gonna find much. You were right about chasing a ghost." Both boys laughed, and hugged each other. For the first time in a long time, it felt like they were back to the way it used to be, before everything fell apart.
"I want you to go to Alaska, and do a one on one interview with a the Time Bandit Crew, and the Northwestern crew from the show Deadliest Catch." David said. I couldn't believe what he was offering me. I had seen the show before, and loved it. Actually I loved the Harris boys, but still, I think I would've been completely stupid to turn it down. "I'd love too!"
"Great. Take your time, and look over the contract, then all you need to do is sign on the line, and next week you will be on your way to Alaska." I couldn't believe it. This was actually going to happen. Somehow I still felt funny about it. Maybe it was just the whole idea of doing an interview, then doing a photo shoot. I knew the photos wouldn't be a problem, but it was actually setting up a camera, and doing the interview that made me nervous. Oh well! I had a week to prepare myself, all would be good. I looked over the contract again, and signed my name.
"Thank you Amy, but you didn't sign your last name."
"I dont have a last name. I was given up as a baby, and I was never adopted, so legally, I have no last name."
"Well then, I guess its all settled, I will have my assistant stop by tomorrow afternoon to bring over some things for you. Here is my card, call me as soon as you get it, and if you need anything just give me a call."
I thanked him, and walked him out. I was so overjoyed, I wasn't exactly sure what to do with myself. Once I saw David turn the corner, I ran back into my house, and shut the door behind me. I leaned against the door, and looked over my contract, not believing that I just opened a door for a new life for myself. I ran through the house screaming, and laughing.
