Chapter 10 Talking to little sister

Faith is going to talk to Chris

"Chris"

"Yeah"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure" Faith goes and lies down next Chris on his bed

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. But are you ok?"

"Not really but that's not important"

"Why not?"

"Because you are leaving soon and you and daddy keep on fighting"

"It doesn't look like I am going anywhere"

"Why not?"

"Because I am not smart"

"Yes you are. You are smart with football"

"Thanks but I don't think football doesn't cut me from life"

"I know"

"I wish dad would just stop pushing me"

"To do what?"

"Everything"

"Dad told me that you are just like him when he was young"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"I didn't know that"

"He said that he got in trouble similar things that you did"

"Really?"

"Yeah. I think you can do whatever you want to do but you got to work hard at it and put your mind into it"

"That's is the best support line I ever heard"

"That's good because I love and I hope you get to do what you want to do"

"Thank you"

"I love you"

"I love you too" Faith leaves
