Chapter 3

"One hour left!" I grin at Layla as she sits on the stool and starts to eat a chocolate cake.

"This is so good," she moans as she puts more cake in her mouth, nodding her head at me.

"I'm going to go and talk to dad. I'll be back in a few minutes okay?" I say to her and she nods eating more cake.

I walk out of the kitchen and head towards Dad's office. I knock on the door and head inside.

"Hey," he says, not looking up from his laptop as I close the door behind me.

"Morning. Can I talk to you for a minute?"I ask and he looks up and nods closing his laptop.

I take a seat in front of his chair.

"What is it?" He asks me.

"I want to move and go to California," I say in one breath.

"What? Why?" He frowns at me.

"I thought it through yesterday. There's nothing here for me-"

"You have your family here," he points out.
