My life in Seattle


Frida Emilsson 2005-01-13

I was so shocked. Mom just sits there and crying and dad was gone. How could dad be so selfish that he wants to divorce. I don’t know why but he hides something. His eyes can’t hide anything. A thought just flied around in my head. Should I go or should I stay? I was so confused that I just ran into my room and left the phone and called to my aunt Mary. It took a minute before she answered.
-Hi it’s Mary.
-Ehh…. it’s me
-Who is me?
I started crying I just couldn’t hold it back.
-Oh Mary you have to come. Dad wants to divorce and mom just sits in the kitchen and crying.
-It’s you Amy! Where is dad?
-He just took the car and drove away. I don’t know what to do. You have to come, please?
-Go down to your mother and take care about her. I’m coming as soon as I can. See you! And she just hung up.
I sat on the bed just thinking on what’s going to happen now. I looked at the clock and it was five past six and I have to go down.
When Mary came she had a long talk with mom. Mary was a 30-year-old woman and she is thin. She has been married once but her husband James just runs away with younger women. Over to me. My name is Amy. I’m a 15-year-old-girl. The year is 1963 and I live in Seattle, the city of peace. I live in a house near a lake. From my window you can see the water. In the mornings it’s very beautiful. Mom and dad bought the house when they were newly married. At my free-time I usually to go and surfing with some friends and my boyfriend, Chris. My best friend Rachel (who loves to shop) is stone rich and lives in a richer neighbourhood with pools and butlers.
After Mary talked to my mother she made the best dinner ever. Mom ate in the bedroom because she had to cry all the time and I with Mary. Mary said that dad has to come back and talk about it anyway. The papers have to be signed. She also called dad’s friends and asked them if they had seen him but they hadn’t. The clock is nine and I have to go to bed but before that I have to call Rachel.
-Rachel.
-Oh hi it’s Amy. Sorry that I call you so late but this is important.
-It’s cool. What’s the problem?
-Dad wants to divorce. He just drove away this afternoon and haven’t come back get. Mary is here so she is fixing around. Mom is crying all the time. I can’t be sorry because I think that it haven’t happened.
-Do you want to come over, tomorrow maybe? It’s Friday tomorrow.
-I don’t know but I want to be home right now if dad comes back. But I see you tomorrow in school.
-Bye and take care about yourself and the others.
-Yes I shall do. Bye!
That night I slept very hard. In the morning Mary woke me up. She said that mom had been crying all night long and she slept right now.
When I ate breakfast the phone called, I answered.
-Hi it’s Amy.
-Hi it’s me dad. How are you? Sorry for tonight. I’m going to come home when you have been in school. I don’t want to divorce because I love you and I want to be with you and your mom. Now I’m at a friend’s house.
-Mom is sleeping right now and Mary is here. Why can’t you come home now? I want to fix this, now. You have 3 choices one is that you come home and everything is allright, two is that you and mom divorce the third choice is that you tell me about what you are hiding for me.
-I have to think about it but go to school now.
-Okay.
-See you after school.
-Bye!
-Bye!
When I came to school Rachel wanted to know everything about mom and dad. And I told her everything. The day in school passed really fast and after school I ran home and dad’s car stood outside. Before I opened the door I thought about my life here in Seattle and everything is going to be all right now I could feel it is my whole body. When I took the doorknob I was very happy and I love my mom and dad.
