A Heart At War
Chapter 1 - My Mother's Boyfriend
Sabrina Farrell
I can't believe that today is our last day of high school, we are now adults, and we can do whatever we want.
Sarah Johnson
Now I have to get a job, how exciting.
Sabrina Farrell
Come on relax, think about it … you're going to find a nice, handsome, rich guy who is going to take care of you for the rest of your life.
Sarah Johnson
That only happens in movies. Let's be real, which guy is going to date a poor girl like me?
Sabrina Farrell
I'm just kidding of course, you're going to figure it out … one day.
Sarah Johnson
So what do you plan on doing with your life?
Sabrina Farrell
I am going to ask my big brother to job hunt for me.
Sabrina Farrell
What? That's what big brothers are for. Speaking of big brothers do you think your mother will ever have another child?
Sarah Johnson
Eww! My mom will never date again, she's too old for that.
Sabrina Farrell
Be careful what you wish for.
Sarah Johnson
Come on, let's go home.
Sarah Johnson
Mom I'm home!
Stacy Thomas
I'm in the kitchen!
Stacy Thomas
Sarah I want to talk to you about something … I'm dating someone. Well technically we've been dating for a while now.
Sarah Johnson
What? When? Mom, don't you think you're a bit too old for dating now?
Stacy Thomas
What are you talking about? I'm only 33.
Sarah Johnson
You're still old.
Stacy Thomas
Anyway he's a nice guy, I told him about you, and he's happy to meet you. He has children and grandchildren your age, so you will fit right in.
Sarah Johnson
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Did you say children? And grandkids? How old is this guy? And what do you mean by“ fit right in” are you guys getting married or something? Didn't you guys just meet?
Stacy Thomas
It's just that while we were talking, we just happened to be talking about a future together, and I swear you're going to love him. He is a very nice guy, trust me.
Sarah Johnson
If you say so. Wait, how long have you two been dating anyway?
Stacy Thomas
Just a couple of weeks.
Sarah Johnson
You kept that from me for three weeks? Wow! You're good.
Stacy Thomas
Do you want to meet him? How about next week?
Sabrina Farrell
So who is this guy anyway? I thought you said your mother wouldn't date anyone because she's too old or whatever. It looks like you're finally going to get that older brother after all.
Sarah Johnson
Please don't say that, guess what my mother wants me to meet the guy next week. I don't want to see my mother's …. Boyfriend, that's so gross.
Sabrina Farrell
SF- why are you so weirded out by it, he's just a man … who's going to be your step daddy, ha!ha!ha!ha!
Sarah Johnson
That’s not funny, I'm really getting a stepfather. What should I do?
Sabrina Farrell
I know what you should do. You can let him give you money and if he stops giving you money, tell him that he doesn't love your mother.
Sabrina Farrell
Okay how about this, tell him that your mom is dating other men.
Sarah Johnson
I don't want to say that.
Sabrina Farrell
Do you want this guy to be your stepfather or what?
Sarah Johnson
Of course not.
Sabrina Farrell
Okay then do it.
Sarah Johnson
Do you think this is really going to work?
Sabrina Farrell
Of course, it's going to work. I came up with it.
