Chapter 10

A week Later I was getting ready yo go to Pittsburgh at the end of the week. My mom and dad came over to help me. About 12:00 I put Ali down for a nap.

"Sidney, Can I talk to you?" mom asked

"yeah" we walk in the living room, and sat down.

"I been thinking maybe Ali should say with us during the season."

"What?"

"we could come visit, you---"

"no" Is aid cutting her off

"Sidney--"

"no mom, she going with me."

"you have to think what best for Alison"

"The best thing is to be with her father"

"Sidney, I think she should be with us."

"No mom, she going with me. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but if I have to take her with me to every game, practice, interview, I will, but she not stay here." I yelled at her.

"Sidney, I think it for---"

"No" I yelled

"Don't yell at your mother like that." Dad said

"Dad, I'm not leave here, she's my daughter." I said "mom. I'm going to be there bad dreams, lose tooth, every cry, fell, and every bump and bruise."

"Daddy" Ali said

"Dad, I won't do it."

"Daddy" Ali yelled

I turned around "yeah, sweetie"

"why are you yelling?"

"no reason sweet heart why don't you go back to bed."

"I'm not tired no more."

"then go play, and I'll be up okay."

"okay"

I turn back around towards my mom.

"sorry, for yelling at you."

"It's Okay we just have to think whats best for her."

"We. mom Alison is my daughter, I think i should know whats best for her. and what i think is best is for her to be with me."

"what are you going to do?"


"i don't know mom but like what i said if I have to take her with me to every game, practice, interview.. i will."

"okay, but if you need anything you know just to call."

"I know, and mom i know your just trying to help but I need to try to do this by myself."

"I understand"

"thanks, now i have to get upstairs" I smiled
