Hello, I hope you missed me! I did. Enjoy…
Chapter 8
I skipped several hours today trying to find a lawyer and when I did he said I should get a job if I wanted us out of our house. When I took off, I started looking for a job and I did; say hello to the new pilot assistant. When I get out of school, I will become a pilot and by taking this part time job, I not only increase my grades and my chances becoming a pilot, but I also get paid. I always wanted to become a pilot and fly, because it makes me feel free, like I can touch the stars! Today couldn't go better! I picked up Lily and drove home.
Mom and Dad where waiting for us…
"Lily, go upstairs!" I ordered.
"No, please kids, join us." Mom said with a soft voice.
"I thought about what you said Aang and you are right. I acted like a jerk and against our beliefs. Lily, I hope you will forgive me…" Dad apologized.
"Of course I do but promise me it won't happen again, will you?" she hugged him and he nodded.
"What about you son; will you forgive me?"
"Sure Dad, I love you too." We did a family hug!
"I got a job as a pilot assistant that will he3lp me in the future!" I said when we broke the hug.
"Well done son! I hope you are happy!" Mom said.
"I am." I replied as we went to the dining room and talked about my future. When Lily and Mom went upstairs, me and Dad sat at the couch and watched football.
"How is Toph?" he asked.
"Oh, shit, I forgot to call her! I'm so dead!"
"Then call her son…" Dad said and I simply nodded. I took out my cell phone and saw seven missed calls. She is going to kill me. I dialed her number…
"Hello?"
"Hey Toph, sorry I didn't call…"
"Who is this?"
"It's me Aang, your boyfriend, remember?"
"Oh, you are that jerk that didn't call me?"
"Yes that's me… I had some issues…"
"Are you talking about your brain issues?"\
"Toph, don't mock me. I said I'm sorry…"
"Ok, I forgive you but I'm still mad at you!"
"I know; I love you."
"I love you too airhead."
"I'll make it up to you; double date?"
"Sounds good but no… what about just us?"
"Sounds perfect; when will this date take place?"
"Tomorrow at school, we will skip some classes."
"You know I don't like skipping classes!"
"You will for me; if you love me."
"All right, you win…"
"That's what I like to hear! Goodnight Twinkles!"
"Sweet dreams T."
I hang up.
"So…?" my father asked wanting to know details.
"We have a date tomorrow!" I said excited.
"I'm proud of you son!" he said and hugged me.
"Thanks. I'm going to bed, good night."
"Sleep well son..."
I went to my bedroom and stripped out of my clothes for a shower. When I finished, I wore a new pair of boxers and went to bed…
