When My Life Became a War-Chapter 4

Before I knew it The clock blinked 3.00 o'clock,so I grabbed my Ipod along with my phone and my japanese belt bag. Then I heard a car pull up.i shut my laptop off and walked down stairs. As i reached the bottom of the stairs the door bell rang. I opened the door to find Mary standing on the other end. I stepped aside motioning her to enter. It had been almost ten months since I saw her last at her youngest sons birthday party. Mary broke the silence in no time with "hello dear long time." I smiled "yeah i know" The ackward silence still filled the house." well do you want to go out to the Japanese place we both like?" she offeredI smiled and i replied " sure lets go" we left my house and headed into her black mustang. The japanese place was called "Atarashī seikatsu".It was about an hour away from my house. We drove with my Ipod on shuffle becuase we both liked the same music. We didnt talk on the way there becuase i was still half asleep. In no time we were there, we parked and got out if the car. Mary and I entered the reaturant,the was very few people so we were seated quickly. Our food came sortl after we ordered and then the talking began. Mary broke the silence "Kira....what I'm about to tell you,you might not like ,but your strong and I know you'll live." Mary took a bite of her food." your parents had wills made up...but they are both different, they picked two different people to take care of you if they would die."I took a drink and replied " who are they?" Mary put down her fork " your aunt Molly and your dad's friend Max."At that moment i had a feeling of my destiny. Mary looked away"there is only one way to choose who takes care of you. There is a court hearing for both Max and Molly to see who is better fit for you to live with in five days." Sortly after we both finished and we left.the car ride felt like it qas 4 hours instead of one. I kept thinking about what Mary said, Molly was my mom's sister which was a drunk with no life but her bottles,she lived about an half an hour away from my house. Max was my dad's beat friend he had a passion for music and was in a band when he was my age,but he lived in Hollywood(about 30,000 miles away). In the back of my head i knew i would be tading my small town in for a huge city. Mary stopped the car outside my house and said "ill pick you up about one o'clock on the day of the hearing and you take care of yourself." i smiled and headed up to my house.
