How did you like the last chapter? Do you think it's too confusing or is it okay? I'm just trying to perfect the imperfect father figure. Wait until this chapter. Enjoy :)

Chapter 29
❤Julia❤

I've never been so confused in my life.

My father pretty much wishes that I were never here my whole life, now, in a way, he apologizes. I've tried resting but I can't sleep anymore, so I sat up in my bed and grabbed my journal. It's the same journal I had in the hospital. I bought the journal specifically for writing. I'm writing a story similar to my own. My life story, that is. I've written about when I was little. I've written about what's recently happened in my life. I've also written about Joe. I've written about him and his family. I've written about my family. Let's just say that I've written quite a bit. I'm almost finished with my book. I'm so proud of myself. The only thing is, I haven't told anyone about this book. I've told some people about my previous books, but not this one.

They're was a knock at the door. I quickly shoved the journal under my pillow and straightened myself up. I wonder who would be at my door at 6:30 in the morning.

"Come in," I called towards the door.

Joe opened the door and stood in the doorway. " good morning sunshine," he said with a grin.

"Good morning," I said.

"Come on," he said backing up into the hallway. He gestured for me to follow him. I climbed out of bed and went into the hallway and stopped in front of him.

"Where are we going this early?"

"I'm taking you somewhere special. I never got to take you because of your incident in the bathroom and the ambulance having to come get you."

"Joe that was over a year ago."

"I know, but I wanted to take you to the beach. And now that it's early, I can take you to see the sunrise."

I was completely astounded. "Joe, I... I don't know what to say."

"Shh," he urged me, "you don't have to say anything. Note come on, I don't want to wake anyone up."

"I have to get dressed!" I looked down at my awful attire. I had on an oversized gray T-shirt and baggy sweatpants.

"Okay, but hurry up or we'll miss it. We still have to drive there." Joe decided to get his driver license after we got out of the hospital, so he can drive now.

I closed the door as quietly as I could. I half ran half shipped over to my closet with excitement. The boy I love is finally taking me on a date. Well, it's kind of a date. I'll take it!

I pulled out a white sundress, my blue bathing suit, and light brown sandals. I quickly put them on, leaving my other clothes on my bed. I ran over to my mirror and I could have screamed at my appearance. My hair was sticking up everywhere in all directions. I grabbed my brush and tried working my magic. I finished brushing it and checked the mirror again. Ugh, I thought. My hair is still messy. I had to think quickly. What is the best way to fix messy hair? Of course! I threw my hair up into a messy bun. Perfect. Kind of. Kind of perfect hair for a kind of perfect girl. I grabbed my caramel-colored sunglasses and walked to the door. As I reached out for the door knob I paused. I feel like I'm forgetting something. I looked around my room and found what I was looking for. It was a scarf the color of misty rose. It was a larger, but very thin, scarf. I grabbed it and put it on. "Perfect," I said to myself.

I opened the door and to my surprise, Joe wasn't there. I walked out, closing the door behind me, and silently called his name. "Joe," I whispered "Joe?" I heard a noise come from down the hall. I spun my head in that direction and saw a door open. The sight of him nearly made me faint. Joe walked out wearing a skintight white T-shirt, dark gray swim trunks, and flip-flops. He was holding black sunglasses and a jacket. His hair was messy too, but on him it looked good.

He walked up to me with a mysterious smirk on his face. He held out his arm towards me and I placed my arm in his. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, he turned and kissed me playfully on the lips.

"Are you ready to go?" He was so close.

"As I'll ever be!"

"Okay then," he lifted me up in his arms and carried me out the door. It was all I could do not to scream and wake everyone up. He put me down in front of the car (we were taking Tony's car). He kissed me playfully once more. "Let's go then!"

I've never been on a date before but a playful guy is attracting don't you think? Votes and comments please!
