That Girl (Part 2)

Chapter 19

Haylie pov
"Daniel!" I yelled walking into his apartment half an hour late. To my surprise the door was unlocked. But what's more I couldn't see or hear Daniel when I called him. I walked into the kitchen feeling a little concerned. But then I saw a white piece of paper lying on the island. I picked it up and read it aloud. "Haylie. In case you finally decided to show up. I had to leave." I sighed. "Stay if you want and I'll see you later. Otherwise I'll text you. Daniel." I put it back on the island. I thought about staying but I knew that Daniel was probably out hunting now and after what had just happened I don't know if I could stay with him knowing we both had secrets. So I decided to go home and call him tomorrow. It felt strange having a boyfriend. I've never really had a serious relationship like this. Other then Derek but I've decided to think of Derek as a fling. Forget my emotional feelings about him and start again with Daniel. Sure Daniels not exactly normal, or my age, and I'm going to London in 9 months. HOWEVER, Hes hot and sweet. Hes good for me. I think.

I left his apartment and went home. I felt a rush of guilt as Iwalked in and saw my dad asleep at the dinning room table. Hes been working so hard lately trying to figure out whos behind the murders. He thinks its the same person who attcked Lydia, but thats because he doesnt actually know who attcked Lydia, or that hes dead. All of the stress on my dad would be lifted if I could tell him about Peter. Then he would stop looking for the murderer of Laura Hale, The guy at the video store, the two guys in the woods and Kate Argent. But If I told him about Peter I would have to tell him about Derek, and Scott. I would also have to explain about the Kanima. Who is Jackson. Then he would stop looking for any murderer. I looked around him and saw he had Dereks file out. It looked like he was looking for links between Derek and the new victums that the Kanima had taken.  Does my dad think Derek is the killer?

He started groaning and moving, so I knew he ws about to wake up. I walked to the fridge and took out some juice and a glass.He rubbed his head and smiled at me. I returned it. "Your home." He said strangely and I gave him a confused look.

"I live here." I laughed and he shook his head.

"You sure? I feel like I havent seen you in days." It was true I had been avoiding him but that was because I didnt know how to talk about the whle adopted thing. I could bring it up now.....No. I think I should tell him about the London thing first.

"Yeah, well Ive been busy with Dancing." I nodded.

"Oh yeah. I forgot, How did it go the other morning? Did he like you?" I nodded and I saw the look of almost disapointment in his face.

"Thats a good thing Dad." I said taking a sip of my juice.

"Haylie. I did tell you there was a discussion to be had about this." I sighed. I forgot about that. "Iknow its not something you want to hear but. I just dont know if im comfortable with you going half way around the world alone."

"I wont be alone. There are other dancers going there."

"None that I know. It would be different if you were eighteen but right now..."

"Dont! No! you. cant. do this." I said leeting my anger show/ "I have been working my ass off since I was 4 for this. You cant take it away from me once I have it."

"I know it seems unfair Haylie, but you need to understand..."

"Who do you think you are? Telling me to understand?"

"I could ask you the same question! Do you think its ookay to talk to me like this? I get that your upset right now. But you are my daughter and I decided whats best for you." I opened my mouth to say something I know I would regret afterwards. so I decided not to be that cruel.
