The Leap
I Will Always be Your Shadow
Three days and I will be across the ocean. My mom and aunt are in London right now at the house my friends and I are renting and they brought over most of the furniture and our boxes with them. One Wednesday the five of us and all of our dads are flying out and we are officially moving in. School doesn’t start for two months, but we figured now is the best time to move in. Right now I’m making sure everything is packed and ready to go.
“Bella May, how’s it going?” My dad asked walking into my room and sitting on my bed. Most would assume having two parents who are actors and always traveling would be hard, but I always got to go with my dad while he was filming so we have a special bond. Also I slightly have his Australian accent which apparently is cool to some people.
“Good daddy. I was thinking tonight we meet all the others and their papas for dinner or invite them over.” I said stopping to put my natural curly hair in a bun.
“Sounds good. Tell them to come over around 7:30, but you have to help me cook little miss.” My dad said smiling at me.
“You got it old man. I think everything is officially packed. Well besides my laptop and phone, but they’re going on my carry on.” I said and he gave me a sad smile.
“Nope no sadness today.” I said sitting down next to him and hugging him.
“I can’t help it. You have always been my shadow and now you’re running all the way across the world from me.” He said with a slightly pouty face.
“I will always be your shadow. Also don’t look at it as me running away from you, because I’m not. I’m just going to get the experience.” I replied and he nodded his head before kissing the top of mine.
“At least Aaron will be there and we already have an understanding so you won’t be dating anyone.” He said and I rolled my eyes.
“You know I have sworn off dating after last year anyways.” I replied.
“Yeah and I still plan on killing him for that!”
“No you won’t now let’s go figure out what to make for dinner.” I said standing up and grabbing my phone.
“I will and you know it. I was thinking maybe meatballs.”
“Then meatballs it is. You start and I’ll text.” I said and he nodded his head.
