Chapter 17

----

"Um can I have the salmon with French fries?" I ask the waiter.

My dad gives me a weird look and I smile, "I don't like the sides they have and fries are literally the bomb!"

He laughs and orders.

"So Chloe we haven't really talked that much. How's school going?" My dad asks taking a sip of his water.

"Good! I am thinking of going to University of Pennysilvania."

My dad widens his eyes, "Wow! How's your grades."

I laugh, "Actually pretty good. I got all a's in all my classes with a 4.0 gpa."

"Impressive! So how's your dating life?"

I choke on my tea, "What?"

"Sorry that was too soon. Your mom told me you have a boyfriend."

I press my nails into my palm.

"Um I don't anymore. Well we are taking a break."

My dad states at me waiting for more.

"His name was Max and he was the captain of the baseball team."

My dad nods as I dinner comes to the table.

Thank god.

That next day my dad was staying home from work.

So when I woke up he was surprisingly downstairs drinking coffee reading the newspaper.

"Morning sweetie." He says looking up.

"Good morning."

It was an awkward silence as I went to go grab a banana.

"What are we doing today?" I asked.

"About that." My dad says setting down the paper.

I turn to him.

"Today I have a meeting with someone and it is urgent so I won't be here for a few hours." He leans forward to look at the oven clock. "And I should probably be leaving soon."

I peel the banana and take a bite as my dad folds up the paper, kisses my head and walks upstairs.

I let my head fall back but also let a smile cover my face.////end of chapter 17
