Terrence had always known that his relationship with Sarah was on shaky ground. They argued constantly and couldn't seem to agree on anything anymore. Eventually, things reached a boiling point and they both decided it was time to end things.
Terrence knew it coming. He had no idea where he was going to go or what he was going to do. He had been living with Sarah for a while and let his guard down and didn’t have a back up plan for when this day came. He stayed with a couple friends and relatives and some days he would wandered the streets aimlessly for hours, until one day he stumbled upon an old house that looked like it had been abandoned for a few years.
The house had a few that was in desperate need of repairs considering it had been used in a while, but Terrence saw something in it that nobody else could. He knew that he could fix it up and turn it into a beautiful home. He decided then and there that this was where he was going to live.
Over the next few weeks, Terrence closed the deal on the house. The next day Terrence started working tirelessly on the house. He painted walls, replaced windows, and fixed plumbing. Slowly but surely, the house began to take shape. And with each passing day, Tom felt like he was getting back on his feet.
It wasn't until one day, when he was out in the yard pulling weeds, A group of children walking down the street towards the school around the corner that’s when he came up with an idea. He watched them with interest, wondering if Sarah would let kids come stay with him cause theirs a school night around the corner from his house.
Phone ringing
Sarah: How can help Terrence
Terrence: What’s up,Sarah I’m calling you to see if the kids can come stay with me and go to school around the corner from my house.
Sarah: I don’t know Terrence who’s going to help them with their homework?
Terrence: Really Sarah let’s not forget
Sarah: Forget what
Terrence: I was the one doing everything I went to work came home and cooked dinner then cleaned the house plus helped with homework in that order and all you did wash and fold clothes.
Sarah: That’s what you post to do.
Terrence: It doesn’t matter cheater. He opened my eyes and gave me strength to get from under your spell.
Sarah: Spell you wish. For as the cheating you have no proof
Terrence: First, you telling me I have to get out before a certain date. Second, that certain date you wanting me to get out is so that you can go out of town to a casino resort by yourself. Come On Man!
Sarah: That’s not why you called me. Let’s stick to the script.
Terrence: Yeah I could go on for days.
Sarah: Whatever
Terrence didn't know how he would feel about seeing Sarah's again. He knew he wasn't ready to talk to Sarah face to face, but he also couldn't help but feel angry whenever he thought about how things had ended between them.
As the days went by, Terrence found himself growing increasingly fond of the neighborhood around him. He started taking long walks around the area and chatting with his new neighbors. He began to feel the weight lift off his shoulders, and the thought of Sarah letting the kids go to school nearby was the best thing that could have ever happened.
Eventually, Terrence came to realize that he had stumbled upon something truly special - a new beginning. The house had been a symbol of hope and opportunity, and he had managed to turn it into something beautiful. And as he sat on his porch, watching his kids walk with the other children out the neighborhood walk to school in the morning, he knew that everything was going to be alright.
