2022-07-27 22:45:10Amy was in her bedroom listening to music while surfing the internet for college options when she heard a knock on the door.
“Come in!” she said, turning down the volume of the music.
The door to her bedroom opened and in came one of the maids.
“Yes Christy. How may I help you?” Amy asked with a glare, indicating that she was rudely interrupted.
“Sorry for disturbing you Miss, but your dad asked me to come get you. Dinner is ready.”
“I’ll be down in a minute.” she replied, rushing into her closet to get something decent to wear as she was just in a lingerie.
She grabbed a white long sleeve off shoulder crop top and ripped denim pants and quickly got dressed.
“Hey Dad” Amy greeted her dad who was already seated at the head of the dinning table with a kiss on the cheek before making herself comfortable at his right side, drooling at the meal before her.
“Don’t be rude honey and say hi to our guest.”
Amy could tell her dad was trying to hold back a laugh. Only when she tore her eyes away from the meal, did she notice Bryan, her dad’s best friend on the seat across hers. She let out a squeal as she hasn’t seen him in two weeks because he was out of the country on a business trip.
“Oh my gosh! Forgive my manners. I was famished.” she explained, hurrying out of her seat to give Bryan a proper greeting.
“I figured, since you never miss the smell of my cologne.” Bryan said with a chuckle as Amy engulfed him in a hug.
She blushed at his statement because there was a 100% truth in what he said. His cologne was her favorite thing about him as she could recognize it from miles away. Okay, that was a bit exaggerated, but none the less, she could recognize his cologne anywhere.
“What did you get for me from Germany?” Amy asked after the hug.
“Well… Let me see..” Bryan pretended to be deep in thoughts.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t get me anything.” she grumbled.
Henry, Amy’s dad stayed quiet, enjoying the scene before him.
“I almost forgot to get you something cos I was busy.” he confessed.
“But… I managed to get you an expensive perfume from a famous German designer.”
“You’re the best!” She squealed, engulfing him in another hug.
“Hey! That hurt my feelings.” her dad said, feigning to be hurt.
“I love you dad.” she embraced her dad before taking her seat so they could have dinner.
While they ate, Henry and Bryan talked about everything and anything. Amy joined in on the conversation when she felt like it.
She couldn’t help but wonder how Bryan and her dad managed to keep their friendship this strong for over two decades. They were jocks back in their highschool days, wouldn’t surprise her as they both still look perfectly fit.
They did everything together. From the stories her dad told her, they were inseparable. You would definitely mistake them for brothers. They had sleepovers at each other’s house every month, up until now. She even has her own room in Bryan’s house, that’s how close they are.
They have so many things in common, like being the only child of their parents and having only one kid themselves. They are both currently single. Her dad’s divorced while Bryan’s a widower. He lost his wife ten years ago.
“Amy?” Her dad’s voice brought her out of her trance.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“I was just telling Bryan that you’d be off to college pretty soon.” Henry said with a proud smile.
Amy bit the inside of her cheeks, feeling guilty for the decision she had already made. She wondered if now was the right time to break the news to her dad.
Taking a deep breath, she concluded now would be best.
“Dad, about that… I’m not going to college this year.”

“Dad, about that… I’m not going to college this year.” Amy quietly said, stealing a glance at her dad and Bryan, who both had shocked and confused expressions on their faces.“What?!... I don’t get it. What do you mean by ‘I’m not going to college this year?’…”Henry was trying his best to remain calm, but there was a distinct edge to his voice, Bryan could tell.“Amy, I’m waiting.” He pressed, slowly losing his patience.“Dad, I don’t think I’m ready for college.”“What do you mean, you’re not ready… For Christ sake Amy, you’ll be nineteen in less than a year.”“I know that dad, but I’m still not ready.” She retorted.“No one’s ever ready for anything… My God! Amy, what has come over you?! I thought we had this planned out.”“No dad, you had this planned out.”“Excuse me?”‘This is beginning to get heated.’ Bryan thought to himself as dinner was long forgotten.“Dad, you’ve had everything planned out for me and not once have I gone against you.”“So, why are we having this discussion

“Paula, how is Amy?” Was the first thing Henry said the moment he picked her call.He was worried about Amy’s well being as she wasn’t answering her phone.“Well, good morning to you too, Henry.” Paula replied, rolling her eyes.“Where is Amy? Is she there with you? I need to talk to her.”“You don’t wanna do that.” She countered.“If I didn’t, I won’t be telling you.” He retorted, as he wasn’t in the mood for Paula’s mind games.“Fine. If you want to talk to your daughter, give her a call then.”“She isn’t answering any of my calls.”“Look Henry, I called you so we could talk.”“About what?”“Our daughter, obviously.” Paula couldn’t believe Henry would ask such an absurd question.“The last time I saw Amy cry was when she was five years old. And that was because she scraped her knee while playing in the park… Henry, last night I witnessed my baby sob because of you. Never in a million years would I have believed that such a day would come.”“Paula, I really need to speak to her. To t
