Song for the chapter: "Human" by Christina Perri

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human, yeah

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human, yeah

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
Until I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human, yeah

Kayla POV

As I was getting on a plane from LAX to Philadelphia I thought about what I would say to my dad. I bought the plane ticket from the money that Caleb gave me. I saved half the money for future baby expenses. I couldn't believe I was going to be a mom in 4 months. She is due on November 21st. My belly was big and I could sense people staring at me because I was so young and pregnant. 

My dad doesn't know I'm on my way to see him. No one else knows either because everyone else is on their couple summer vacation. Jason's in London for Melissa's wedding. I was all alone in LA and board so I decided to buy a plane ticket. As much as I didn't like my dad I needed to work things out with him for his future granddaughter. 

I got to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the middle of the afternoon. I got my suitcase and rented a car. I drove to the familiar townhouse in Rosewood that I hadn't been to in 1 year. I had only lived here for 1 year before moving to LA. This was Caleb's childhood home. I was nervous as I walked up the front porch steps and rang the doorbell. Minutes later the door opened and I was face to face with my dad.

"Kayla, I wasn't expecting you." Mr. Rivers said

"It was a last minute decision and I wanted to see you." I said

I walked into the house. My dad took my bags upstairs to my old bedroom while I looked around the house. Nothing really looked new. The furniture and decorations were still the same as they had been a year ago.
