Chapter 7 - Chapter #6(Leaving?)

The day when i heard my parents talking about the divorce killed me inside. I cried my self to sleep that night, quietly because i didn't want my parents to hear me. My mom was the one that decided to go someplace else while my dad stayed here and took care of me, since my mom didn't have money because she didn't have a job my dad gave her some so she could survive, and maeby move in with an old friend or family member until she found a job. that night after a little while my mom slipped a note under my bedroom door and i heard her footsteps going away in the distance, the front door was quietly opened and then just like that she was gone. After i while i put myself together to get up and look at the note, so i sit on the floor right in front of the note and open it and it said "Dear Jonathan, me and your father have come to the conclusion that were growing as people and we need to support each other on that.Me and your father need a break from each other and i don't really want to see him anytime soon, but you are the thing that i feel like I'm truly leaving half of me behind, i love you so much Jonathan and it hurts me to leave, but i know were I'm staying and that's good because i want you to come visit ever now and then ok? My address is ***** St.Mary Lake and it will probably be that for a long long time because this was your grandpa's house but right now he's sick, but I'm going to live their and take care of him, especially since he's all alone now. My phone number is ***-***-**** so you can call or text me anytime about anything, well bye honey i hope to see you soon." If i were to look at the note today, i would'nt be able to read it from all the teardrop marks that made the words blurry, but ill always remember what it said because i use to read it every night. And now today's the day that I'm going to talk to me dad about me visiting mom, I'm so nervous I'm shaking, i open my door and walk to the kitchen, i see him making dinner for me and him, he looks kinda tired maeby a ruff day at work? So i say "dad you look kinda tired did you sleep alright?" she turns and says "yeah just a long day at work." its silent nobody says anything for a while but then i try to make small talk to cheer up my dad so that when i break the news that i want to see mom, he will be more considering about it. Then i just couldn't wait anymore, i was already so filled up with excitment so the words just came out "dad can i go visit mom for the summer?" He stops cooking and turns around a bit then says "i-I'm sorry but what did you jus-" "can i please visit mom, it don't have to be the whole summer but-" he interrupts my mid sentence with "sure" then he turns and goes back to cooking and doesn't say a word "do you mean it, just like that?" He turns slowly and says "yeah why not it would be good for you anyway, its been a long time yeah?" I look at him with a little side smile and say "yeah." He then puts the food on two plates and puts them on the table, he turns and says "go and get the silverware will yeah?" I walk back in the kitchen slowly and then i hear "before the food gets cold" i turn and pick up my pace, hurry up and grab everything we need and race back. Then for the rest of the night we sit at the table and talk about planning my trip to St.Mary Lake.
