I woke up this morning laying there waiting for dad to come in and wake me up like yesterday was all just a huge nightmare. Everything was fine for a split second until realisation hit me and I just burst out crying and I think I screamed or was loud because Anna comes rushing in.

"Hey it's ok" she say rushing in and giving me a hug "No it's not my dad is dead" I say still sobbing into her shoulder "And I have a brother" I add on "I know honey I know its all a lot and I don't really know what to say right now to make it better" she said as I pull away and look at Troian and she leans in and gives me a hug as well.

I've been sitting on my bed for the past hour just staring at my door still hoping that its just all fake and Dad is just going to walk through the door any minute but its been an hour and I can't seem to pull my eyes away from the door. But the one thing that got me to pull my eyes away from the door is a message.

Unknown- Hey hoping your feeling better I'm always free so when you want to meet up just message me but give me a little notice.

I look at the phone a little confused and then remember I had not saved Luke's number yet. I stare at the message for a good 10 minutes before replying
Ivy: Well I'm better and thanks I will keep that in mind... hopefully we meet up before the funeral.
Luke: Yes of course it's up to you when ever you feel ready.
Ivy: Yeah I'm probably never going to feel up to it how about we just bite the bullet and plan it for tomorrow.
Luke: Yeah sounds great just send me a time and place and I will meet you there.
Ivy: How about a little café around the corner from me it's called wonderland around 12pm?

As I put my phone down Troian walks through the door "Hey" she says passing me a hot drink "Hey'" I say as she sits next to me on the bed "How are you felling? Wait that's a stupid question... I don't know what to say I'm sorry" she says
"Well I'm not ok let's just say that and don't worry I don't really know what to say either" I say back taking a sip of my drink

"Hey um Luke messaged me today and we are meeting up at lunch time tomorrow and I want you to come with me" I say looking down at my drink
"Yeah of course I will where are you meeting?" she asks "Um wonderland" I say looking up at her "Oh I like that place it's so cute" she says getting up "I'm going to go home and grab a couple more things but mum is going to stay here so you won't be alone is that ok?" "Yeah that's fine" I say than continue to drink the hot drink she gave me.

I woke up feeling the exact same way I did yesterday... not myself but this time I didn't cry but I really wanted to and I felt guilty about it. I turn over and see Troian still asleep I turn back and pick my phone up to check the time reading 10:25am and see I have one message I open the phone to find it's a message from Luke.
Luke: Hey I'm just checking up and seeing if we are still on for today?
It was sent a couple hours ago but I still chose to reply.
Ivy: Yeah it sure is.
I put the phone back down and hop out of bed to start getting ready.

I walk over to my drawers and pick out a dark blue top, black ripped jeans and put them on my bed. I pick out white high tops and put them next to the outfit.
"Hey what are you doing?" I hear and turn around to see Troian up "I'm getting ready" "What for?" she looked at me confused "To go see Luke" I tell her "Oh yeah that's right... I should get ready as well then hey" "Yeah you should I say smiling at her" she looks at me and smiles as well "What?" I ask "I'm happy to see that smile back"

I put my clothes on and chuck my hair up in a high top bun. I decided not to put makeup on today because there is a big chance I will cry. "Hey your up?" Anna says as I walk into the kitchen "Yeah um I'm going to see um Luke today" I tell her not knowing if Troian told her "Oh yeah Troian told me I can take you if you want" she offers "Yes that would be really nice thanks but I don't leave until 12 so we have a about an hour" I tell her and she just nods her head and Troian comes walking in not long after "Hey I just wanted to say I really appreciate use doing this for me I don't know what I would have done without use" I look to the ground and before I could look up both there arms are rapped around me.

"Are you sure your up for this?" Anna asks as she pulls up to the café "No not at all" I say as I get out of the car Troian following "Ok thanks bye mum love you" I hear Troain say to her mum "Ok lets go in now before I change my mind " I say to her just before we walk in I get a message from Luke
Luke: Hey I'm about five minutes away so go in and get a seat.

I don't bother replying I just walk in and get a seat and wait patiently for Luke in a booth around the back. After those 5 minutes were up or around that I heard the door open and I look up and I see a guy and I just knew it was him because he just looked like dad I nearly cried and then he turns to me and smiles, "Dad must have shown him a picture of me" I say to Troian

"Hi I'm Luke" he says as he gets to the table "Hi I'm Ivy and this is Troian" I say standing up to give him a hug I'm not really a hugger when it comes to just anybody but it felt right "Well hi" he says looking at her and then back at me "So It's so nice to finally meet you" he says, the both us sitting down "I wish I could say the same but I've only known about you for a couple days so" I say looking at my hands "Well I wanted dad to tell you about me but like he had said he didn't want to put that pressure on you" he says it goes silent and I just look at him, eyes filling up with water "Hey what's wrong?" he asks both him and troian looking at me "It's just you're a younger splitting image of dad you even sound like him" " Yeah my mum says the same thing" he says smiling

"So um where about are you from?" I ask "Um Hillfar" he says "Wait that's like 4 hours away" Troian says "Yeah I know but I had to come see Ivy" he says "But that's really fare... you drove 4 hours in one day to come see me?"
