Hey guys and gals
Happy father's day
For the people who have read BWTBH, you probably know about my father. For those who haven't, he passed away 5 years ago of sickle cell anemia. That is why I'm dedicating chapter this to him.
Here we go
Last Chapter
"Both of you, stop it." Mom said grabbing my arm. I then pushed her away.
"Fine." I said. "You don't want to do anything about it…it's your life." I said. "But it's not mine." I said "I wanna be with dad."
"Ulrich." Mom said.
"Your father, good luck with that." Alvin said.
"Hey, Alvin, don't."
"He doesn't want you kid." Alvin said. "
"Oh my God." Mom said covering her eyes
"What?" I said. I then turned to my mom. "Is that true?"
"….Ulrich." She said tryind to walk towards me. Without even thinking about it, ran off towards the beach. "Ulrich, wait."
What I didn't know was that someone was following me.
SOF/L Chapter 11
After I left, I went straight to the beach. I was now just sitting there, watching the waves. Yum then walked up sat down next to me.
"I told it sucks here." Yumi said.
"Yeah."
"I talked to my dad today." She said. "I told him that we had chased ghost crabs." She said. "It made him very happy…felt like he was here." She said. "He always gets so excited when he talks about their eyes." She said. "See their eyes can rotate 360 degrees." She said. "They can see everything that's around them, but they can see straight up." She said. "This makes it easier for birds to attack them." She said. "That's why they gather their food at night for safety." She said looking at me. "I don't know, my dad finds it interesting…he's a dork." I then turned, looked at her, and slowly leaned in. When I was only a inch away from her lips, she stopped me. "Ulrich."
"I'm sorry." I said getting up. I then ran away.
SOF/L
When I got back to the beach house, I saw that Alvin was trying to win my mom back.
"Look, it didn't mean anything." Alvin said. "It was just a mistake. A stupid mistake." He said. "God, I'm such an asshole." He said. "Adell, listen." He said. "You deserve better….I know that." He said. "I have to better." He said. "I'm gonna be better for you….and for Ulrich." Trying not to be seen, I went under patio. What I didn't know was that somebody was already under there.
"Hey, what's up, we're you going?" Asked Hiroki.
"Shut up Hiroki."
"Ulrich?" Mom called for me. "Is that you?"
"Take me with you." asked Hiroki.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Ulrich." My mom called again.
"I'll scream." Hiroki said.
"ok."
SOF/L
I took Hiroki with me until we got to water park. We were now trying to get inside. After I put the bike down, I tried to climb over the gate. I then felt Hiroki trying to help me.
"I got it." I said."
"Or you could just use the gate." Chris said opening it. He then let a few girls in. After they walked in, Me and Hiroki followed Chris.
SOF/L
We followed Chris until we got to the break room.
"Alright everyone, be cool." Chris said. "Our boss is here with his pirate friend."
"Hey pop n lock." Somebody said. I then waved back. Hiroki looked to his left and saw a cooler full of ice dole beer.
"Yeah, I could use a cleansing ale." He said picking one up.
"Or, admire one from afar." Jim said taking it away from him.
"I've had a beer before."
"And I've spent a night in jail before. But there's a limit to everything." He said. "Who's your friend?"
"Hiroki."
"Cool." Jim said. "Nice eye patch."
"Thanks." Hiroki said in a really sad voice.
"You don't sound to cool with it.
""My mom makes me wear it." He said. "She says my eye confuses people."
"Well now you've gotta show me." Jim said taking off his sunglasses. I looked over at Hiroki and was surprised to see him actually take it off.
"Aww, look at thing!" Jim said. "She wants you to hide that?" He said. "Is she insane?" he said. "I'd kill to have that eye."
"You're full of shit."
"I'm serious." Jim said. "You know how many bits I could do with that thing." He said. "Daring people to look me straight in the eye."
"Hahaha."
"That thing is awesome."
"You mind if I mingle?"
"Sure but keep your hands in your pockets." Jim said. "You look a little shady to me."
"I'll circle back." Jim then turned to me.
"Hey, what's up?"
"You're having a party?"
"Yeah, we're doing a farewell for Lewis." Jim said. "I think it's serious this time." He said. "Did you wanna talk to me?"
"No, just wanted to hang out."
"….Alright." Jim said. It was obvious he knew I was lying. "How bout we say you hang out for a little bit? Okay?" He said. "I'm sure you'll be wanted at home at some point. You're a popular guy." He then tilted his head towards the party. "C'mon."
SOF/L
A few minutes later, the party was full swing. I was now grabbing slices of pizza for Jim, Chris, and I. After I got them, I picked them up and walked back over to the table we were sitting at. When I sat down, I saw that Lewis was opening his presents. The first he opened was from Jim. When he pulled off the paper, he saw that it was leaf skimmer.
"Oh, Jim, you shouldn't have." Lewis said in a sarcastic voice.
"Yeah, I went to three different places in the water park to find that." Jim said. "You can use it to catch thunder clouds."
SOF/L
About halfway through the party, Jim was tapping his glass with a knife.
"Turn the music down." He said. "I think we need to hear a few parting words from our guest of honor." We all then started to clap.
"Oh, no." Lewis said. "I don't want to open myself up to some bit."
"Seriously, there's no bit here." Jim said.
While Jim was trying to get Lewis to stand up, Chris leaned over and asked me a question.
"Wanna be part of the tradition?" I then got up and followed him into the back room.
SOF/L
(Normal POV)
"We're gonna miss you." Jim said. "Plain and simple." He said opening a towel. Lewis then sat down.
"I guess I'm gonna have to sit for." Lewis said. Jim then laid the towel over him. "No. You don't know where this has been." Lewis said. "Well…I won't say that I won't miss some aspects of this place." He said. "It wasn't completely void of decent times." He said. "I remember a couple of days that were almost memorable." He said. "I guess if there's one thing I will miss dearly, its." Lewis's sentence was cut short when Ulrich jumped out and sprayed him with a water gun. "Oh my God." He said. "What the hell man?"
"It's part of our tradition." Ulrich said.
"What kind of warped tradition is that?" Jim asked. "Lewis was pouring his heart out!."
"I was gonna say people." Lewis said. "I'll miss the peo." Before Lewis could his sentence, Chris sprayed him again. "Oh my God!" he said.
"Not you, Chris!" Jim said.
"Seriously." Lewis said. "My doctor said not to get water on my face." Jim when ducked, Yolanda jumped out and sprayed him.
"Oh my God." Jim said. "The only thing that would make this worse is if there were more." Just then, somebody brought out a whole tub of squirt guns. "Squirt Guns!." After that, everyone ran up and then grabbed a gun and started to spray each other.
SOF/L
(Ulrich's POV)
After the party, I decided to walk around and look at all the pictures on the wall. One was a picture of Yolanda and Jim. Another was a picture of me on my first day. I turned to my left and saw Jim bringing Yolanda a glass of water.
"That better be water." She asked.
"It is." Jim said. "It's a fun night."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry that I'm developmentally challenged" He said rubbing his temples. "Like bad. Nightmarey, special episode bad. I'm sorry."
"It's alright." She said. "I was a little frustrated." She said. "I just planned on being here for one summer and next thing I know it's three years." She said. "It had a lot to do with you." She said. "I just don't wanna look back and regret that it should have only been one summer."
"You won't." He said. He then kissed on the head.
