Have I Told You Lately -- August 1991 (DONE)
It was the night before having to board for my first year at Hogwarts. I enjoyed packing and listening to music. As much as I would deny it, I was going to miss Mum and Lenni. Despite the hard relationship we had, I still loved them. I hear the song that Mum used to always have playing for me come on, so I turned it up really loud and kept packing.

I heard Dean turn up his music and I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to fight on his last night home, but it really didn't need to be that loud. I went upstairs to scold him and I heard what he was listening to. I smiled and opened the door. "How are we doing in here, Deano?" I asked him, resisting the urge to tell him tot urn it down right away. I told myself that I needed to be more patient wiht him; he was just as stubborn as me and just as outspoken as his father. Neither of which were a good combination.

I turned and grinned at my mum. "I'm almost finished," I answered. Then I realized my music was probably too loud. "Oh sorry... need me to turn the music down?" I asked, moving closer to the radio. I figured that was the real reason she came in here.

I shook my head. "After this song perhaps," I told him, knowing that he may realize the song or my intentions. But I also figured that he didn't really know the song... he probably just wanted it to be loud ot drown out any background noise. He had been so young when I had been able to listen to this with him. It was before he got any of his attitude... which I swear started when he was only five or so.

I smiled at my mum. "Here..." I said, thinking about being nice. I stood up from kneeling by my trunk and walked over to her. I took my mum's hands and figured we could dance for the few remaining moments of the song.

I was very surprised by Dean right now. The song ended and he turned the music down. "Do you need any help packing?" I asked him. I knew that he said he was nearly done, but I just didn't like how independent he was. It made me kind of sad and feel old.

I shook my head, then my eyes lit up. "We could always eat a piece of the chocolate pie," I said, wiggling my eyebrows at my mum.

The alternative motive for everything. I laughed and said, "Only if you have everything packed and you're around for tomorrow morning. Like clothes... anything you can think of that would make tomorrow morning run smoothly." I figured that would be fair. It was already getting kind of late... I didn't need him to be cranky tomorrow.

"Okay... if yu want to go get our pieces ready, I'll be down in five," I said excitedly to mum. She left my room and I finished packign and got clothes around for tomorrow morning. I went downstairs and saw that mum had the chocolate pie covered in ice cream, too. I sat down at the bar in the kitchen with her. "Thanks mum!" I said happily, taking a huge bite. It tasted so good.

I grinned and said, "I suppose since you're leaving tomorrow you can be spoiled." This pie was by far one of the best I have ever made. We ate in silence and Dean surprisingly put the dishes in the sink.

Staying by the sink, I turned to look at my mum. "Are you going to miss me at all while I'm gone at school?" I asked. I figured I already knew the answer: not at all.

I looked over at my son and smiled. "Believe it or not, I will," I told him. I had a hard time thinking that he had to ask. Yes we fought... but I was his mother. Of course I would miss seeing him as often as I did now -- which was pretty much every day except when he holed up in his bedroom.

I was a bit skeptical. "Are you sure? Because I know I'm a pain... so I think you're just saying that to make me feel better," I countered. I could so see her celebrating tomorrow night when she got home and I wasn't here.

I sighed. "Honey... it'd be way too quiet with you gone. Of course I'd miss you," I assured him. I couldn't even believe we were having this conversation. But it was Dean... he was an attention whore like his father - even if he tried to deny it. He wanted to know that everyone would miss his presence.

"Alright... then ow about I write you at least once a week?" I suggested. That would probably make her feel better. And, to be honest, I would feel better as well.
