"Darcy are you ready?" My mom whispers softly shaking my shoulders.
"Just a sec," I whisper back. She smiles a sad smile and I grab my blue cardagin from my closet.
"Don't be to long," she whispers then walks down the stairs towards the kitchen.
I stand in front did my long mirror.
Todays the day.
Today's the day I finally get to meet my father. For the first time.
Isn't this what I've always wanted?
A father figure in my life?
If so, then why am I getting so nervous? What is wrong with me?
What if he doesn't want to meet me?
What if he's disappointed in what he sees as me being his daughter.
But anyways, I should hate him, right? The only thing I've ever gotten from him after 16 years was a lousy Christmas or birthday card. You would think he would be able to afford it since he was in a boyband. I guess not huh. The crazy thing is that I don't hate him. But I do at the same time. Why would he leave me and my mom alone? What did I do to deserve that. I needed him growing up and he wasn't there for me. I despise that man but I don't. I don't love him, at all I just tolerate him.
I slip my cardagin on and walk towards the door then take a deep breath.
I go downstairs and I hear whispers from my mom.
"Mom?" I question
She turns around surprised. "Darcy?" She smiles "did you hear anything I just said?"
"No, not much"
"Good." She smiles "honey can you check the mail for me?"
"Um, sure"
I leave the house and walk to the mailbox.
One letter. Addressed to Darcy Gilmore.
I open the letter and look at the senders name. It's from my dad.
"Darcy,
I know I haven't been there for you throughout your life, but I'm going to change that. Starting next week though okay? I know I'm suppose to come today but Daisy is working and I have to pick up Crystal because her father is also stuck at work. I promise on Monday ill be there. Ill pick you up for lunch at twelve. Be ready.
Love,
Your father"
I crumble the piece of paper up and throw it in the trash. Bullshit. He always Does this shit for Daisy. Why can't she simply leave her job to pick up her own kid? I hate Daisy. It's like she doesn't want us to meet. Fuck her.
I walk into my house and I get greeted by a happy smiling mom but just as she sees me, her smile turns into worry.
"What's wrong, Darcy?" She rushes over to me and hugs me tight. It's at that moment that I realized I wasn't crying but I was bawling.
"Nothing" I gulp.
"Darcy Ann Gilmore do not lie to me."
Clearly it's something. Now tell me."
"Mom I'm just really tired I'm gonna go lay down."
She pat my head. "Okay but we're going to talk about this later."
I walk away up the stairs and into my room. I throw myself on my bed and throw a pillow over my head.
I don't know how long I fell asleep but when I woke up I heard a moving van honk its horn and I immediately looked outside my window. It's not typical for that out here. It's a really quiet neighborhood actually.
"Matt can you please put that box in your little sisters room?" An older lady says. I look at her an from the distance I'm at, she's beautiful. She has long dark brown hair and blue eyes and olive skin. She can't be over 30 if that.
"Whatever" the boy, I'm suspecting to be Matt shoots back. Beside his obvious hatred towards helping out during the move, he is cute. He's tall about 6 foot and has a Sort of disheveled hair cut that is pretty hot. The first thing I noticed was his chocolate brown eyes and his prominent jawline. That boy is dreamy. I hear a loud bang and I run downstairs.
I was shocked by what I saw.
My mom was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. I run over to her.
"Mom? Mom? BREATHE!" I shout. I look down at her body and she smiles
At me while she trys to gasp for air.
"Darcy...we have new neighbors...say hi.."
The tone on my phone rings.
"911 what's your emergency?"
"MY MOMS BEEN SHOT HURRY!" I Shout
"Ma'am calm down where do you live?"
I barely had the chance to answer before I saw someone come
Into my house.
"I already called them love they're on their way"
"WHO ARE YOU?" I shouted through tears.
"Relax love. Well talk later."
The last thing I remembered
was ambulances taking my mom away, rushing to the hospital and the boy who saved my moms life. The boy who I figured out later to be Matt.
