“Avril, what are you doing here?” Judy stated in surprise, when she noticed Avril standing at her door.
“I came to visit you and Dad.” She walked in and placed her suitcase down beside the door.
“This is a surprise, I know you mentioned you would come but I didn’t think it would be this soon.” Judy grabbed a towel out of the closet “You’re soaked honey, use this to dry off.”
“Thanks Mom.” Avril smiled “I missed you and Dad so much.”
“We’ve missed you to baby, but you seem happy with your life these days, so we don’t interfere.”
“I am pretty happy.” I used to be anyway, until Jamieson decided to be so stubborn. Dad is going to be pissed off that he wouldn’t come by and visit, this will just make him more unstable about me seeing Jamieson. DAMNIT JAMIESON! Why couldn’t you just come along with me so I wouldn’t have to deal with this myself? You know they will ask about you I mean you’re all I used to talk about.
“Yeah, you and Jamieson” Judy, leaned over and gave Avril a kiss on the cheek. “Do you need anything, like for the apartment I’m meaning. You and I could do some shopping while you’re here. Mom’s treat. What do you say?”
“I say, thanks Mom. But no thanks, the apartment is very overfull as it is.” Plus I may not be living there much longer the way I flipped out before I left.
“Ok, but the offer is always open.”
“WAIT!” John walked in “I didn’t get to say hello to my baby girl” he smiled, giving her a kiss. “How are you?”
“I’m good Dad, how about you? Things going well down at the shop?”
“Yeah, great. How are you and Jamieson making out? Did he land that deal?”
“Not this time, but he’s keeping his options open. Right now he’s looking for a part time job while he searches for more musical opportunities.”
“Excuse me for worrying baby…” John went off on the limb “But how can you afford and apartment in New York, with only two part time incomes.”
“Dad, we have this all figured out believe me. If anything comes up where we can’t afford it I will get another job.”
“Why would you get two jobs? When Jamieson can get a full time job.”
“I told you Dad, Jamieson wants to be a musician, nothing else interests him.”
“Well my daughter should interest him. He should be supporting you, instead of making you pay for his dream!” John walked out of the room, clearly pissed off.
“Fuck!” Avril cursed.
“Watch your mouth sweetie.” Judy stated “Your Dad is just looking out for you. He’s worried that you can’t make it. I know you can baby, and you know you can but it will take him some time.”
“Yeah, well maybe we won’t have to worry. Jamieson and I had a massive fight before I left.” Avril looked at her mom “He doesn’t have the nerve to come and meet you and Dad in person.”
“Well… maybe Dad and I should come visit you in New York then. Honey don’t break up with someone because he doesn’t come and meet us. I mean he’s not trying to impress us.”
“Yeah… you’re so understanding Mom.” Avril smiled, giving her Mom a kiss. “I’m going up to bed. I will see you and Dad in the morning. Tell him I love him?”
“I will baby, good night.”
“Night.”
I will call Jamieson up and apologize. Mom’s right he’s not trying to impress them. As long as he talks to me about things, and loves me that’s all that matters. I mean eventually he can meet my parents but when were a little more committed and he feels more comfortable.
She dialed the numbers on the phone, and it began to ring…..however….no one answered.
Where did he go? Is he over me already?......No I’m just being crazy. He’s probably just gone out for a walk or something I will call him in the morning.
