So like Romeo and Julliet...

Chapter 2

When I get home from the homeless shelter I starting reading a book on my window bed looking out at the sun. I couldn't stop thinking about Toby. Its ridiculous because we just met but those eyes and... Just everything. I've had boyfriend and butterflies before but when he spoke I felt huge birds and I felt my heart beat faster. I don't know what it was that made me react that way but I did. I know it would never workout though, he's homeless, I'm the richest family in the city. I wish he had a home to live in. I wish they all did, somewhere to call home. I felt my phone ring and pulled it out, just Kennedy. He's my older brother and one of my best friends.

"Hey Ken, what's wrong?" I asked because he usually doesn't call.

"It's dad he had a appointment today and it's positive Ash. Dad has cancer." I shivered and sucked in a breath.

"Oh my god. Is it cure able? Can they do anything?" I asked trying hard not to ramble.

"They can cure it but dad has to live it palitive care for the next 3-5 months. it will be okay Ash." I felt comfort from his words but at the same time didn't. My dad has cancer. This is horrible.

"I'll talk to you later Keny, love you so much." I said.

"Love you to Ashie, it will be okay baby sis, bye." he said and I just took a deep breath. I love my dad. I can't cry though the tears won't come. I can't cry I know dad won't want to come home to me crying because once I start I can't stop. I breathe in and out trying to calm myself down. I hope he can be cured.

***Time Lapse***

I walked into school and immediately Headmaster Thompson came up to me and told me that he's looking forward to my speech today. I'm the head of student committee chair which might seem lame but it's actually a really prestigious thing at my school. Only a grade 12 can be chair and since I'm in grade 12 that's me. I walked in and Taylor and Maddy came up to me and and both had a freak out because they got asked to prom. I haven't been asked yet but I guess I'm ok with it. I'm not very approachable. I mean my family is the over achievers but hey, what am I going to do?

*** Time Laspe ***

After my speech I got fourth period off to go to the shelter. I'm supposed to go Monday's, Thursday's and Sunday's. I think I was a bit to exited to say the least. of course I don't have a crush or whatever on Toby, I don't even know him. When I arrived at the shelter I waved at Sarah and immediately I saw Toby in the back of the room just pondering by the looks of it. I remembered our last conversation and how he is awfully confident for a homeless person. I start to walk over to him until a little girl comes up to me and says.

"What are you wearing?" I don't know what to say at first I'm just a bit shocked she wasn't shy to talk to me. I'm horrible at meeting new people.

"It's my school uniform." I responded. She considered this for a minute and nodded until she asked.

"Are you an angel?" She's super blonde with brown eyes.

"No sweetie, my names Ashlynn." I replied wondering why she thought I was an angel.

"You look like and angel. Your so beautiful!" She says very happily. "Couldn't have said it better myself Izzy." I turned around and saw Toby smiling leaning against the post of the bunk bed. I blushed at his words and he picked up Izzy and threw her into the air as she laughed. he was surprisingly strong for someone who is homeless. Isn't he supposed to be weak and shy? Instead he is extremely muscular and outgoing. Izzy laughed until she couldn't breathe which made me laugh. He would be such a good dad... dad... I really hope they cure his cancer. I'm a daddy's girl apparently but I don't care I want my dad to live.

"So Ash what's new? Anything happen since yesterday?" He asked me.
