I woke up to my alarm going off. School. I got up and got a text from dad.
Take the bus, don't be late
I opened my bedroom door as Dustin ran out the door.
I closed my bedroom door and pulled my blanket over my head.

I got dressed and drove dad's sports car he never uses anymore. I drove to the mall and walked around. It was a school day so it was fairly empty. I bought a few things then left and drove to my favorite restaurant. I ate lunch then drove home, parked dad's car like I found it and went back to my room.
The front door opened as I was putting my stuff away. I looked at the clock, I'm supposed to be at school... I held my breath as I heard dad talking to someone.
He turned on the tv and I knew it was just Dad and Jess.
I bit my lip and tip-toed back in bed and hid under the covers. A few minutes later I heard a car pull up. Then Dustin's voice filled the house. School wasn't out for two more hours. Why was Dustin here?
"She's not at school.." Dustin's voice was worried.
I held my breathe as my bedroom door opened.
"Callie? Why are you in bed?" Dad's voice was calm with worried edged into it.
I stayed quite.
"If you want to talk we're here." Dad sighed before closing the door.
"She's upset." Dad informed Dustin.
"Did something go wrong yesterday?" Dustin sounded scared.
"I don't know, she was supposed to be with Blake."
Blake blew me off yesterday, why would I be with him?
"I'll call him."
I heard a dial tone, then I Blake's voicemail.
"Something went wrong..."
"Give them space, they'll talk when there ready."
I got out of bed and walked to the living room where they both stood there looking nervous.
"What are you two talking about?"
"You and Blake... Did something happen last night?" Dustin spoke up.
"Blake blew me off, I was here alone all night!"
Dad looked pissed.
"I came home at midnight... Damnit I should checked on you." Dustin cursed.
Dad sighed. "Blake told us he wanted to something special for your birthday so we left you two alone... We didn't know he blew you off. We're sorry."
I shrugged, unsure of what to say.
"We can still do something. If you want too." Dad hugged me.
I stayed silent.
"I'm sorry.." Dad whispered.
Dustin's phone started ringing.
"It's Blake... Do you want to talk to him?"
