19 Leaving

After much reflexion he decided on the second option, a talent TV show. Of course the idea was great, even the timing was perfect as the biggest french talent TV show's auditions were beginning in the next month. The issue was Em, he either stopped her from school and took her with him for longer than two months or he could find someone to keep her, his relatives weren't a good idea as both himself and Em didn't know much about them and he didn't want to bother his friends...

Thinking about it he won't be staying in this medium sized city for a long time, it was way too restricted in opportunities. For the moment it was fine but later he will be moving around the world, either for his musical carrier, for his unborn acting carrier or even if he started a business.

What he could do now is simply pay a nanny to take care of Em while he will be away and also ask friends to drop by whenever they could to check on her, he felt bad leaving his sister alone for months but it was a step he must take for his carrier to soar.

After deciding he looked on the net for a full time nanny, it must be someone that is willing to stay at home even at night, it will be hard to find... he didn't even know if it existed.

After a bit of research he found a website specially made for full time live-in nannies.

Before going any further he called Annie

"Hey Annie ?"

"Good morning Sam !"

"How have you been ?"

"Pretty well, you don't call very often..."

"Hahah I'm sorry I was busy with work."

"It's fine, is everything fine ?"

"Kind of, I need more visibility on my YouTube channel so I thought of an idea but I'll have to leave Toulouse for at least 2 months. I'll get a full time nanny to take care of Em and I wanted to ask you if you could pass by sometimes to check on her."

"What ?! Where are you going ?"

"Paris. That's where everything is, I'll get more opportunities there."

"Ok I get it but you don't have to get a nanny, I can keep Em for you and mom will take her to school with Rika everyday."

"No ! No, I don't want to bother you, checking on her will be enough."

"Bring her the day you'll be leaving, my parents will already know by then, don't forget her clothes and the rest."

"Ahhhh... ok."

She hung up right after that, she wasn't the kind of girl to change her mind once she decided something there was no way Sam could change it with words through the phone. Truly a hard to deal with kind of girls.

It was already night so he didn't bother Em by waking her up to tell her the news, he went on Internet to check the lodgings he could get for his budget, he had around 2000€ left from both YouTube and "Chords to the core"'s sponsorship. A hotel would be either too expensive for 2 months with his budget or too shabby so he checked Airbnb appartements, some were too far from downtown, others were too expensive for 1 person. He kept browsing for awhile but couldn't find anything satisfying so he decided to rent an apartment, it was expensive but less than an Airbnb. He found one located in a building in the 11th district of Paris, one room, one living room and a kitchen, not far from downtown and the price was very attracting compared to the rest, 600€ per month.

He didn't lose time and rented it for the next 2 months, he'd be leaving Toulouse in 3 days. After making sure he didn't forget anything he went to sleep, it was a very difficult decision he had made and didn't know how Em would take it, will she be happy to stay with her best friend for the next 2 months or will she be angry at her big brother for leaving her alone for so long ?

That night he had a hard time falling asleep, not only because of Em but because he felt like this trip would make his life bigger, he might become a celebrity during this trip.

[Master please make a choice :

- Level 2 singing skill book.

- Level 1 writing skill book.]

'Hey it's been awhile I didn't hear your voice, give me the level 2 singing skill book.'

[Choices appears when required, master should know it by now, until now the system didn't judge it necessary.]

'You are basically saying that where I am going a level 1 skill book isn't enough... by the way the last functionality of the system didn't awaken yet, do you have any news ?'

[Of course I do, the inventory will open automatically when you reach a total of 5000 EV accumulated.]

'This means that I better not use my EV's until I reach 5000 ?'

[Master is mistaken, you can use your EV's it's the cumulative amount of all the EV's you've had until now.]

'This is perfect, you are so practical System !'

He said happily before checking the amount of EV's he had, it was already over a thousand : 1221 EV. It was growing very fast, after a short maths calculation he knew that he was 2900 EV's away from unlocking the inventory as he had already accumulated 2100 EVs until today.

Feeling totally satisfied he could finally close his eyes and fall in deep sleep.

The next morning he was sitting at the table with breakfast ready when Em joined him at the table, her eyes were still half closed since it was very early. She had to go to school today but before that he wanted to tell her.

"Good morning Em."

He said with a smile, he wanted to make her feel the more at ease, he was afraid she might hate him after the news.

"Good morning big brother ! Did you sleep well ?"

After the greeting she also seemed to gain energy, her eyes weren't dropping anymore and she looked cutely at her big brother.

"Very well and you ?"

"Yeahhh today I will see Rika again after he week end I was happy so I slept very well !"

"Hahah you really like her, Em do you want to live at Rika's place for awhile ?"

"Eh ? Yeah I want to ! Why ?"

"I'll be going somewhere for awhile and Annie asked me to keep you."

"Where are you going ?"

"Paris, I have important things to do."

"How long are you staying ?"

By now she started to have tears in her eyes, recently the longest she had been away from her brother was one night when she slept at Rika's home.

"Around 2 months..."

"Big brother~~"

She threw herself in his arms wile crying, he knew that she'll react like this but his heart was still hurt, he couldn't change his mind now but he got an idea.

"Em, you want to see me even when I'm away ?"

"Eh ?"

That day he took Em with him and went to an apple store, he wanted to get the iPhone X but he couldn't waste that much money he bought two iPhone 6, one for him and one for Em. This way they'll be able to face time whenever she missed him. He showed her and she was finally happy, she will live with her best friend, she got a phone on which she could play games and she could call her big brother whenever she wanted.

Finally, three days where nothing happened later except watching his view counts on YouTube growing it was time to leave, he didn't take much with him. Changes for 2 days and necessary papers as his ID, driving license and credit card. He took just enough to pack his backpack as he was going by bike, it will take him around 6 hours on the road.

He would buy clothes when he'll get there, using his bike inside the city was more practical and cost less than using public transportations so he didn't even think about going by plane or train, he would need his bike there.

Time to go, he dropped Em at Annie's place and left for Paris.
