"I'm home!" I shout into the kitchen as I open the front door from my walk home. Again, there's no answer, so instead of yelling again I just walk further into the kitchen to see dad. Oh. Where is he?

I roam the house for a minute looking for dad and calling out his name a few times, but there's still no response. As I'm about to head into my bedroom to take off my shoes and put my stuff down, I notice there's something on my door. It's a note that he stuck on there before he left the house.

"Bri-
Went out to the store to grab stuff for dinner. Pasta tonight!!
Text or call if you need anything. Should be back by 3
p.s. beach walk tonight?
Love you! Dad"

Damn. I'm glad we're having pasta for dinner, but I'm not gonna be able to go for a walk on the beach with him tonight. I already agreed to meet up with everyone at sunset. I hope dad isn't upset. Have I been spending too much time with them over the past two days? I don't wanna blow off the plans I've already made though, cause Kie seemed pretty excited that I said I would be there.

I hang out in my bedroom for the next few hours, and I spend the time thinking about lunch earlier today, the beach tonight, and what bathing suit I should wear later. I decide to put on a little fashion show for myself and try on different suits until I decide on a matching lavender colored set. I feel good in this! Looking at myself in the mirror, only one other thought crosses my mind. Is JJ gonna think I look good? Will Kie?

Dad gets home a while after the fashion show, and I'm back in my t-shirt and shorts for now. I make my way into the kitchen shortly after I hear the door open and think of the nicest way for me to say "hey dad, I know you asked me to go to the beach with you later, but i'm already meeting up with some people who i just met yesterday. love you!"

"Hey dad," I say as he starts putting away the groceries he bought today. I take a seat at my favorite stool and stretch my legs out onto the seat to my left. "Saw your note."

"I'm glad," He begins, turning to face me and leaning his forearms on the kitchen counter. "How was lunch today?"

"Really good!" I tell him truthfully, a huge smile appearing on my face. "I really like my new friends." I really really do like my new friends. I'm glad I gave them a second chance today.

"That's awesome, Bri! You can tell me more about them after dinner, yeah? Go for a walk on the beach?"Shit. I don't wanna have to say no. He looks so excited, though!

"Oh," Dammit dammit dammit. "I- Can I tell you about them while we eat dinner instead?" I ask, avoiding telling dad the reason I can't spend time with him later. I literally feel so bad right now.

A confused and sort of sad look appears on dad's face. I am a terrible daughter, aren't I? "I mean, yeah, but don't you wanna go for sunset later? We haven't spent much time together in a few weeks with my work and all."
