Apov
After last night me and Ray has agreed to leave everything in the past, he now understood why I acted the way I did. He was livid, took him over two hours to calm down. I kept apologizing for not telling him, but of coarse Ray being the sweet father he is told me to never apologize for defending myself. An then he asked me what I wanted to do? I didnt understand what he meant, so he said one word Christian.
So i thought about it, since i was healed, did I want to move back? That was the big question, I told him to let me think about it, so thats what im doing now, Im at the school library and decided to use the computer and get on social media, do some research. Obviously christian doesnt have a account, so I had to look up Mia and boy does she not ever have her phone in her hand, theirs a post for every hour. I see Elliot goes off to collage in a few months, they had a party for him, their family photo they took they look like a happy family but then theres Christian, he's off to the side, if you didnt know you would think he wasnt part of the family. He looks closed off, and now that I can remember him completely, I feel as though its my fault. Do I go back and try to free him like Dr.Fylnn did for me, or is this something he got to do on his own?
"What you doing?"
holy crap I jumped out of my seat, I wasnt expecting anyone else in the library, its usually empty. I look at the intruder and I see blonde hair, she facing my computer and she looking at my screen just helping herself to Mia profile. Excuse me im using that computer.
"Relax Ana, fancy seeing you here"
" Excuse me do I know you"
She looks up to me
"Oh my God! Kate is that really you? What are you doing here? Its nice to see you" I say while jumping and hugging her
" woah you sure have changed if your hugging me, dad moved us again, so here I am. I see your checking up on Mia and the Grey's, have you talked to them?"
" its a long story, but im better now. Im at peace. But Moving so much cant be good for your schooling can it, and no I havent talked to them, Dad said since im better it was up to me if we moved back to seattle, but now that your here I will feel bad to leave you here"
" I havent talked to them either, since I didnt get a chance to say goodbye, I figured it was probably for the best, since im not sure if I will ever see them again. By the time im able to move back to seattle and be a reporter who knows if they will even be there."
" I didnt get to say goodbye either, Damn parents. Too bad your dad wouldnt let you live with us and then we can move back together and act like nothing happened."
uh oh I said something because Kate looked like she got a wild idea
" Ana you might be on to something considering were teenagers and these are the importants years of our lives. What if we did convince my dad to let me live with you guys and move back to seattle? Do you think your dad would allow it?"
my eyes widened, what do I say, I mean I was just talking, I dont even know if I want to move back, but than my thoughts went back to Christian and I have to admit part of me would love to be there for him.
" Kate..."
" oh come on Ana, im tired of moving around, and having to make new friends over and over and over. Ive been to four different schools in a month, every week dad has to go to a new state, and mom just follows. An Ethan he doesnt care for school, he already smart and just wants to chill on the beach and ..."
"KATE!!! WILL YOU JUST SHUTUP, YOUR RAMBLING.. you done.. ok thank you. As I was saying it wouldnt hurt to ask, in the end its not up to us. So why dont we set up a meeting at a restraunt and make it a seem like a accidental meet up. An maybe we can sit together and secretly bring it up"
" Ana I always new you was smart but you sneaky bitch thats a great plan, ok so what about that Italian place on 25th?"
" oo Dad loves that place so it should be easy to convince him, you think 6 o'clock is plenty of time? Im message dad now so its easier to convince him, Ill say something about how some kid had it delivered to school and it smelled great."
" Damn Ana behind that im so innocent look, your a little con artist. but yea that sounds good, Ill message dad as well.."
ringgg*
" well school out fingers crossed that we see each other later, if we happen to get there before the other try and stall, and heres my number, Ill see you later kate bye"
I logged off the computer and grabbed my bag, my phone chimed an a message from dad was there, he was laughing at me and said thats fine since nothing was laid out for dinner and he wouldnt be off until 4:30. So asked if 6 o'clock was too soon for him and put my phone away. I was a little nervous what if they say no, or what if we move back and Christian wasnt happy to see me. All a sudden I just had alot of doubt but I wasnt gonna let it get me down, I turned a new leaf and was free of the darkness, if he wasnt happy to see me, then fine; ill just have to make it up to him and make him see I wasnt going to leave again. While in thought i made it to my front door and there was a letter on the door with just my name, no postage nothing. I opened it up and they was either threaten me or warning me not to go back to seattle. Im not sure which, it scared me a little but I wasnt going to let them keep me from Christian anymore. I will tell dad about it after dinner. Not telling anyone last time ruined my life. The handwriting looked like a females writing so I will just have to be careful. I wonder how they even knew we was thinking about moving back. I walked through the door, an decided to get my homework done and out the way and then sit down and read a book until it was time for dinner. Dad would come in and run upstairs to get cleaned up anyways.
Everything was going as planned, we was on our way to the restraunt and kate messaged saying the same thing. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, it shouldnt be this easy but who I am to say, maybe it was meant to be like this. We pulled into the parking lot just as Kate and her family was parking their car.
Then Dad asked me if everything was ok because I havent spoken a word. I told him I was a little tired after all the homework but I would be fine once Ive eaten. We got out of the car and started walking, thats when I heard my name said like they wasnt sure it was me, Kate could be an actress. I wanted to chuckle but I had to put my game face on.
" Kate is that you?" ok im not winning best actress but good thing thats not what i want to be when im older.
" Ana oh my god I thought that looked like you, what are you doing here?"
" Me and dad live here, we was going to get dinner how about you"
" same, we just moved to town over the weekend but looks like we might move again. Do you want to eat with us."
" Yes if its fine with our parents. dad you remember the Kavanaghs, do you mind if we eat with them?"
" Ah yes good evening Mr. Kavanagh, long time. Do you mind if we join you"
" good evening Mr.steele, Not all, would give us time to catch up."
We all started walking in the restraunt. Me and Kate giggling about our plan working so far.
Were about thirty mins in, our dinner just got served. Our dads are chatting it up like old lost friends, I believe Mr. Kavanagh was more friends with Carrick then my dad but none the less. Me, kate and Ethan were just talking about anything and everything and well Mrs. Kavanagh was just drinking her wine like it was a lifeline. We were almost done eating and thats when me and kate decided to finish are plan. Kate was up first
" So Ana whats next for you?"
" Oh me and Ray was just trying to decide if we was going to move back to seattle. Right dad?"
" Yes, Ana is doing much better, so I told her if she wanted to move back we could."
" Oh thats great news, im glad your doing better, I wish I could go back to seattle, It had a good school program for what I wanted to do in life, BUT.. dad said hes still got alot of business to attend to so we will be moving again"
before i could go in for the kill my dad spoke. " That cant be good on your grades, moving around like that can it"
" no sir, its quite exhausting actually"
" Dad cant Kate stay with us? I mean if its alright with you Mr. Kavanagh. Atleast until hes done moving around so much. We could move back home and kate can be like a adopted sister for the time being.
I can see my dad eyeing me and kate, he knows something is up.
" um im sure Mr Kavanagh would like for his daughter to stay living with them Ana."
" but dad..."
" Hold on Mr.Steele, the girls might have a point. I may be a business manaic but I still care for my daughter schooling. If I knew my wife here would be capable then I would of left them home, but she was worried I would run off and start a whole new family.. So if its actually ok with you, I wouldnt mind it, we can sign some guardian papers and ill send kate a allowance every week to cover expenses."
" oh well in that case I guess I have no objections"
" Than its settled kate will move with you guys to Seattle, but you are to send me a grade report every other week and if I see this aint working out, I will come and get you so fast missy, do I make myself clear?"
"YES SIR, AYE AYE CAPTAIN"
we all chuckled a little over Kate's words. Kate looked so happy to be settling down again.
" Well on that note we wont be able to move to seattle for atleast a week. Im suppose to give 2weeks notice but since its all the same business it shouldnt be a problem"
" thats fine daddy, I have a report due anyways."
Another 15minutes passed with great chatter, me and kate was proud that our planned worked. Mr. Kavanagh insisted on paying for dinner as a thanks for taking Kate. And that he would drop her off in a few days.
We all went our seperate ways, as I got in the car Ray looked at me and smirked.
" What you smirking at dad?"
" oh nothing I was just wondering"
" um wondering about what?"
" Ana I might be old but Im not stupid, Who plan was it?"
" I dont know what your talking about daddy"
He started chuckling but none the less started the car to go home. Mr. Kavanagh might not of caught on but leave it to my dad to catch us and go with it. On that note guess im moving back to Seattle. Christian Ready or not here I come.
