FEGG - G4 - Sapphire - Chapter 8

 It wasn't often our whole family sat at the kitchen table at the same time. But now we sat here.

Theodor doesn't count because he and Sierra moved out for a couple of weeks ago.

 Skype graduated and he broke up with his girlfriend Sally.

And instead he started to play drums. Even if my father didn't like it. He thought it sounded too much.

 Jake, otherwise, liked it. He used to stand there, watching while Skype played.

 It was autumn and me and Jake raked leaves.

 The funniest part was to play in the pile of leaves, which was bigger than me!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Soon I also graduated. And I cut my hair.

 I was ready to move out. I wanted to move to a city. Bridgeport. So I asked my father if he was okay with that.

"Daddy, I want to move out..." I started. "And I don't feel like living here in Aurora Skies anymore. I wanna move to Bridgeport. I want to see if you're okay with that. Are you, daddy? Please be!"

"Why of course, sweetie!" he said, but I could see sadness in his eyes. "If you want to, no one can stop you. You're an adult now. But I'll miss you."

 "Really?! Oh thank you so much, dad!"

 "Oh... and I'll miss you too!" I said. "And mom, and my siblings... But I promise I'll call and visit sometimes!"

 "Aww, I hope you'll be happy. I wish you good luck sweetie."

 My brother came out from the bathroom.

"What is this I hear? Are you going to move?" he asked.

"Well... yeah... I planned that." I said.

"Oh sis, why can't you stay home with the rest of your family?"

"Because I wanna live in a big city... I'm so sorry, Skype..."

"City? Are you going to Bridgeport?" he asked in surprise.

 "Ehm yeah. I feel like a big city is the best way to start a medical career. And I don't want to live here while I don't have any kids. There's no need to."

Skype pondered for a while. "What if I moved with you to Bridgeport, sis?"

"What did you say..?"

"It would be great for my musical career. If I would get one... And in that case, you wouldn't be living alone in a big city."

"Oh my.. Skype, that would be awesome!" I said.

My dad smiled. "Yeah, that would be really nice of you, Skype. You're a great big brother. I was actually considering the idea of sending Saphi to Bridgeport alone, but I couldn't stop her anyway. But now, I don't need to worry."
