Hauntings of the Past
Chapter 2
Yugi stared out the window at the street below. He was already happy here. His mother had left to go to work.
"Yugi?" Yugi spun around and saw his grandpa. "Are you ok?"
"Hi, Grandpa!" Yugi smiled up at him. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure? I know you've had an interesting day today. Is there anything I can do?" He placed his hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"Well," Yugi thought. "Do you know if there are any boys my age around here?"
Solomon laughed. "Yes, there's one that lives down the street and one that lives next door to him. Granted they're not like your friend Tea, but I think you'd like them."
"What are their names?" Yugi said. "When can I meet them?"
"They're names are Joey and Tristan, and they usually come here everyday after school. Now come on, I think your mother's home."
"Ok Grandpa." Yugi grabbed his hand and went downstairs.
A few days later, after dinner, Yugi overheard his mother talking to his grandfather.
"What's wrong, Diana?" Solomon asked.
"My company's transferring me to Chicago. I don't know if I want to do this or not. I mean, yeah, it's getting Yugi and me away from Rob. But I don't want to drag him way from here. He's finally happy."
"How about you leave him here? I don't mind. He's already being a great help with the shop."
"That's very nice of you, Solomon, but I think that should be up to Yugi and me."
"Diana, I'm not trying to shut Yugi out of your life. It's bad enough that he can't trust his own father. I want to make it up to him for the way my son has been acting. Besides, you said it yourself, Diana, you'd have to drag Yugi away, but he might go kicking and screaming. The kid loves it here."
"You're right. But I should at least talk to him and get his opinion. If he wants to stay then he will. I'll arrange to get as much time off as I can just to see him."
"Mommy?" Yugi came down the stairs. "I'm sorry for listening in, but I wanna stay with Grandpa. I don't wanna go to Chicago. I do love you, Mommy, but I wanna stay!"
Diana crossed the room to her only child. "Are you sure that's what you want, Yugi?"
Yugi nodded. "Yes, Mommy, I'm sure. I've finally made friends here. Back where we used to live my only friend was Tea."
"OK, Sweetie, if that's what you want." She kissed him on the forehead.
