A New Beginning
Today i started a new book called sport.it is about this boy who lives in a small apartment building with his dad. Sport's grandfather is very sick and only has about one more night to live. Sport's mom is a greedy woman who only thinks about money and how to spend it. So sports mother invited him to stay the night with his grandfather but he does not want to because he is scared of what might happen. So Sport's dad called them and says that sport will come over but only for an hour then he will come home. so will sport was getting ready to go over to his grandfathers house, sports dad's "new girlfriend" came over. sport threw on an old coat with a hole in the sleeve, and then they were off to their grandfathers house. when they got there they were greeted by the maid who took their coats and told them to sit down. while they were waiting there was an lawyer in the living room with them, and the lawyer stuck out her hand to greet them then the lawyer noticed the hole in sports sleeve, so he quickly pulled his hand away but the lawyer said that it was ok, then the lawyer started to ask sport all of these questions like "are you financially covered, or does your dad get paid enough money to keep the house and have food on the table, and are you happy with how you are living and who you are living with." and of course sport answered all "yeses" because he wanted to stay with his father and not live with anyone else. Sport does not like his mother because she is abusive like she smacks sport across the face or she is yelling at him and calling him mean names "ones that i am not going to repeat." and she is so greedy that sport does not want anything to do with her, in fact he said that he would live on the streets any day rather then live with his mother.SO sport's dad and his new girlfriend Sally went to the bar and had a few beers. and hung out. Back at the grandfathers house it is time for sport to go into the room that his grandfather is in and as he is walking into the room he does not know what to expect. The first thing that he see's is long carpets on the wall, and big tall windows over looking New York city, and it is big bright and beautiful in the room with a happy cheerful feeling, and then Sport see's this sad wrinkly look thing in a big bed, and when he looks closer he knows that it is his grandfather. oh how he was so sick looking with the small body frame and the skinny wrinkly hands and face, and those big blue eyes with deep dark wrinkles under his eyes, it was so hard for sport to stay there and not run away. but he managed and was ok. then the nurse came to sports side and said grab his hand and hold it tight because it will be the last you ever hold it again.as sport was holding that fragile hand he kept thinking that if he squeezed it any harder it would snap and disintegrate right in front of his eyes.then sports mom came back and said it was time to go but before she left she had called her dad a grieving hatred man who has no clue as to what is going on right now.That made sport furious but he said nothing at all for fear of getting smacked across the face. Sports dad came early to pick sport up when he got in the car Sally "sports dads new girlfriend" was still in the car and she was yelling over the roar of the engine. when they got home sport and his dad went upstairs and got changed and when they came back downs stairs Sally, Sport, And Sports dad all played games, watched movies and ate popcorn, just like a family should.And this made Sport a very happy person.
