Henry
Mom slept longer than Killian and I ever expected. So, before she gets through a scary breakdown, we decided we do anything want to do that are against her wishes. When Killian loaded the suitcase in the trunk, he carried mom and placed her in the back so I can sit in the front beside him. This car is too cool to look at and it's even more awesome just sitting in the front seat. It's a long drive to this beach, so we killed time listening to the radio. Then later we sang together out loud, at first we were scared that we might wake my mom, but she slept so soundly without blinking an eyelid.
After an hour or two, the two of us still sang loudly. We sang together "YMCA". I couldn't help but motion with my arms of each letter as I sang.
Killian looked at me a few times as we sang in unison.
"It's fun to stay at Y.M.C.A.! It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.! They have everything for you men to enjoy, you can hang out with all the boys..."
When the song soon came to an end, I slid back on my seat. "By the way, Killian, I have school tomorrow. What am I suppose to say when I get back?"
"I already called your school and made an excuse that you're taking care of your mother. Which you are and also having fun."
"Awesome."
~ Killian's ship is unlike I ever expected. It looks just like the one back in those pirate tales.
For the first time, I climbed on the front ledge of the ship while Killian took my mom to a room in a cabin underneath the ship. I spread my arms out as the breeze blew harshly across me. It feels so good and so clean.
"Careful there, mate. You'll fall."
"I won't!" I shouted behind my shoulder.
