When we got back to Illinois we started to pack and then I got a phone call from my step-mom.
"Hello James is this you?" My step-mom Susan said.
"Yea what do you need?" I said.
"Your father has passed on." She said crying.
"Well I'm sorry for your loss but my father abandoned me and you helped him."
"I know you're mad but please your father left a will and gave you everything even our house."
"I don't need your pity or your money."
"I am not allowed to keep the money but I have my own and I want to buy the house."
"You can have it for a penny."
"I couldn't let you do that."
"I am because I don't want the house and what about Taylor or your son Chase why me why did I get it all?"
"John felt bad for abandoning you because of me and we were going to get a divorce before Chase was born but we decided it would be best for him to have a father.
"Funny he leaves two kids for one baby funny."
"I said I was sorry and he was sorry too that's why he left you 2.3 million dollars."
"Where did he get that much money?"
"He was an architect and was paid a lot of money to design buildings."
"Oh well thank you but I want chase to have five hundred thousand dollars for college because I bet its what dad would of wanted."
"Thank you so much James your very kind." She said crying even more.
"Also take another five hundred thousand for yourself."
"Thank you but I must call your grandfather about John."
"Don't bother he's dead. He died a year ago in his sleep."
"Okay thank you but I still have to call his sister so have a good day and I'll send you a check for the rest in the mail."
"Okay if you ever need to talk to anyone I'm here." I said hanging up the phone.
When I got off the phone I resumed packing Taylor and my things. After that Mom called me down for dinner.
