"Then we'll send her to George, like you said originally."

My mom walked out of the room and into mine with a sad face, knowing I heard the last part of the argument.

But since I'm staying with him I guess I don't have to worry about money. I finished packing my belongings and kissed my mother and father goodbye. My mom started to cry.

"It's alright mom, I'll be back soon. You and father will sort things out and I'll return." I said rubbing her back.

"Goodbye love, write to me soon. Make new friends while you are away." She said wiping her cheeks. I gave my father another hug, picked up my bag and got into the carriage waiting for me. As the driver shut the door I waved to my parents. Now comes the journey to New York.
