Chapter one

     Chelsy's POV:

I sigh, knowing that mom will never win the argument. 

"Fine! You win. Can we just get something to eat already?"

  My mom and my step dad have been arguing which restaurant we should go to for dinner. It was between Nagoya or The Panda Express.

  "Okay! To the Panda Express we go!"exclaims my happy step father. Although his joyfulness can get annoying at times, I still love him. But he still treats me like I'm 12 but really I'm 15.

   As we drove out of the drive way I looked out the widow thinking about my dad, my real dad, in Arizona. The divorce happened only a few years ago but it's kind of still unbelievable. My parents were so close, I started to think my funny and generous Dad had been lying to me about everything being ok. He has never lied to me before so I trusted him on it. I miss him so much. But since this is a month at my mom's here in Maryland, I won't see him in 8 more days. 

I can't help the tear that escaped.


Johnny's POV:

 As I look over at Chelsy starring out the window and  my heart drops. She's over there, silently sobbing.


    "Oh honey" I say as I awkwardly pat her back


This has happened too many times before. She misses the time when her mom and Victor were together. But she has to suck it up! She is 15 for heven sake! But Flor wants me to be easy on her. And I'm trying my best to be a good father, I really am, its just really hard.


  "Sorry" she mumbles wiping her eyes with her sleeve.


  "It's ok, honey" I give her a warm smile. This makes her smile.

"Can we ever go to Nagoya? We never go there." Chelsy asks. I smile and we all laugh at her request.


   "We'll see,"


••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


Lorrie's POV:


 As Johnny pulled up to the panda express, He, Chelsy and I got out. 


   "So what we ganna get this time?"I  Asked.

  "I dunno. Let's let Chels here chose." Johnny pionted at Chelsy and smiled. She smiled back.I love it when that little exchange happens. It means they are getting closer.

   "I'll have orange chicken please" Chels said to Johnny." With fried rice too"

  "I'll have the same,"I added.

  "Ok then" Johnny turned to the cashier, "We'll have three orange chicken with fried rice please and thank you."

The cashier gave us our order and we toke a table close to the entrance. We ate I'm silence for a few seconds. Then a man came through the door.

Chelsy's POV:

  The man that had come through the door looked like an evil scientist. I mean really, barely any gray hair sat on his his head. He wore wire glasses and had that         I-am-never-happy-unless-death-is-here look. He just gave us a glance and grunted. 

"Mmm," Johnny said,"That guy ain't happy."

'State the obvious' I thought.

"Come on finish your lunch" mom said.

I secretly rolled my eyes.' Really mom? That's what you think of when an evil looking guy walks though the door?' I think in my head. But i ignored it.

     We finish up our lunch. Johnny pays the check. We start out the door but I glance back at the man. He gave me a sinister smile. I shivered and went to the car. 

Yup that's my life on that day.
