Andy and April stopped at the Parks Department. They have to go to work. April works as a assistant to anti-government,grumpy,twice-divorced Parks Director, Ron Swanson. Andy works as a shoeshine boy, for employees or whomever comes by.
Andy was ready to step out of the car,April wasn't.
"April,come on, those papers aren't going to write themselves.",joked Andy.
He tried to lift her spirits up with his jokes. They always made her feel better,
"No I think...I should stay in the car today. Maybe, I will make it my home..I will order pizza,watch tv enjoy that kind of home feeling you know...",said April.
Andy started to frown, the fact that the jokes weren't working. It was that April doesn't want to show herself at her job or her family. Andy still hadn't met her parents yet or her sister. April didn't want to talk about.Andy leaned closer and put his arm around April making April look into his deep brightly colored brown eyes,
"Look April, we've been dating almost a month and not to be harsh or anything, but,you gotta stop worrying what might happen. If your parents show up,like, I don't care. If you dislike them. I mean when I was a kid, I was raised by a single mother. She cooked,cleaned,established a roof over our heads and put food on the table. My Dad was absent. He did nothing and helped nowhere. Mom kicked him out and raised me and my five brothers all by herself. My brothers?... well, they supported me throughout my daily activities.
If your family cannot do that kinda cool,awesomesauce parenting stuff like my mother did, then it's simple, just cut them out of your life. If your sister is as bad then you think she is, just simply ignore her. I have never had to deal with that in my life. My relationship with my brothers wasn't perfect, we roughhoused all the time, and ,teased each other.", said Andy. April blinked at him once or maybe twice, Andy took another sigh,
"You know I love you right?",asked Andy.
"Right.",answered April.
"I will always try to be on your side throughout the good and the bad. You can't hide yourself from your family. Either you run from them or face them.", said Andy',April was even more silent.
"So April Lugate what's it going to be?" ,asked Andy.
"Face them." ,answered April in a soft tone.
"Good, now ,lets get out of the car,go to work and wait till your family to arrive.",said Andy .
April looked up at him and decided to follow him out of the car and walk inside the doors of the Parks department.
