Charlie's POV
"What do you mean they found my dad?" I ask.

"I just got off the phone, you father wants you to fly out this weekend to come live with him and his family." She says.

"Fly out? Fly out to where??" I ask.

"North Carolina." She says sighing.

"No I'm not going to do it! I refuse." I say.

"You have to, your not eighteen yet." She says.

"Well I can get emancipated!" I say.

"Honey, the courts would never approve if you have a living parent that wants you." She says.

"This isn't fair!" I say.

"I know, but life's not fair. Maybe this is for the better. You never know." She says.

"Well what if I don't like him?" I ask.

"Well that's a problem that will be solved over time." She says.

"Whatever, when do I leave?" I sigh.

"Tomorrow morning at 8am." she says.

"Why so early?" I groan.

"That's when Mr. Grier booked your ticket for." She explains.

"Okay well I'm gunna go now." I say and walk outside and go to my car.

I start the car and make the fifteen minute drive over to Adams house. I get out of my car and ring the doorbell.

"Charlie!!" Lexie says opening the door.

Lexie is Adams four year old sister and she is the cutest thing ever.

"Hey cutie. Don't you know not to open the door for strangers?" I ask picking her up.

"Your not a stranger." She says giggling.

"Well you got me there. Is your brother home?" walking inside.

"He's supposed to be babysitting me." She says.

"Well what is he doing?" I ask.

She just points over to the couch and I see him sleeping. We both laugh and walk in to the family room where he was.

"Adam!" I scream.

"Huh- what? Did you break something?" He shouts jumping awake.

"Great babysitting skills." I say handing him Lexie.

"Hey it was a log day." He said smirking.

"Yeah, listen we have to talk.." I say nervous.

"Uhm okay. Lex, go play and we'll be up in a minute." He says putting Lexie down so she can go upstairs.

"Okay Addie. Bye Charlie!" She says skipping up to her room.

I wave bye to her and Adam just laughs at the stupid nickname she gave him.

"So what's up?" He asks sitting on the couch.

"Well I need to talk to you about my father.." I say sitting next to him.

"Did they find him? That's great!" He says.

"Yes. And no." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"Well yes they found him but it's not great." I say.

"Well why not?" He asks confused.

"Adam I'm moving." I blurt out.
