So I kissed him. He pulled away. "What are you doing?" "I- I don't know it just, happened." "What happened to just friends?" "We are friends, I just needed to get it out of my system." "Well now it's out." I started walking away but he called me back. "Hey you going to the valentines dance?" "Definitely." I turned around and got on my bike. When I got home I went straight to my room. "Valentines dance?" Yes I was talking to myself in the mirror. "Your not even sure you still have a boyfriend." "Yes you do." I see Blake standing in my room. "Blake!" I run over and hug him. "So we're good?" "Um, yeah totally nothing has changed between us at all." "Um okay."
I call Sawyer. "I don't own any dresses." "I do." "Sawyer we wear different sizes." "I'll buy one for you." "Sawyer, no." "Wait I have an idea, trust me you'll like." "Um okay." She hangs up. I hear a knock on my door. "Come in." "Hey Julia." "Oh hey Dad." "So are you gonna be okay with the whole baby thing?" "No. Listen Dad I'm happy for you guys, but I don't think either of you are ready for another child." "Whys that? We did perfectly fine with you." "Did you really? I mean, look at me. Obviously you made some sort of mistake." "We are good parents." "Dad, you're a doctor." " I'm a pediatrician." "You're a doctor. You've never looked at me like I'm your daughter. I'm just another patient to you. In fact I don't think in my sixteen years of life, that you've ever said I love you, have you Dad? Or should I say Joe, or Dr. White?" My father has a different last name cause my mother never changed hers and I took her last instead of his.
"Is this true Joe." I see my mother standing in the door way. "Have you never said I love you to your own daughter?" My father just stood there in disbelief. "Answer the damn question!" "No I don't believe I have." "Why's that?" "Because, if I look at her like she's my daughter I will lose her quicker." "So you just decided not to love her?!" "Mom, he's distracted. I don't know by what, but I do know by who." "Are you implying that I cheated on your mother?" "Of course not, I'm implying that you are cheating on my mother." "Willa, it's not true." "Who's Emily, Dad? And why do you ask her to come over, every time we're not home?" "She's a coworker of mine. She's comes over to work on some stuff for work." " That's weird, you always told us that you do your work at work so you can spend time with your family."
"I think I should leave." "No you don't get to leave, we're kicking you out. I want a divorce Joe, so go live your happy life with Emily and sooner or later she'll realize that you are not capable of loving anyone or anything but yourself. I can raise this baby on my own, do you wanna know how I know that? Because, without realizing it, I raised Julia all by myself" "I will go grab my things." "No, I want you to leave now. You can pick up your things off the curb in the morning." "Willa it is raining are you seriously going to be that inhumane?" "Oh you want to talk inhumane? Now get out!" She pointed to my door and my dad walked out of our house. Well what was our house.
