Long chapter. Btw grace's mom is played by Reese Witherspoon

It's been a month since my first day of school. Shawn has been over a couple times and talked to mom. Which is weird. He talked to me and said "I want to be apart of your life. I promise you I won't leave." I don't know if I can believe him.  But my mom said I have to at least spend a day with him even if didn't like it.

Alex spent the night last night. We were cuddled up in my bed watching tv, Kat was in her bed also watching tv with us. Every time Alex or play fight  Kat would make a comment saying "good god you two are so cheesy" and so on but Alex and I didn't care anymore sometimes we kiss in front of her just to make her uncomfortable.

My mom walked into room. My mom took today off for some reason I can't remember. She told me but I zoned out and focused on whatever I  was doing. 

"Get up and get dressed Grace, and you two go out somewhere I don't want you two just hanging out around here." Mom says. I look at my mom confused and so does the other two.

"Oh please tell you didn't forget" Mom says once she notices our confused looks.

"Today we  will be spending the day with Shawn, your father, so come get dressed" Mom said.

I get up out of Alex's grip once my mom walks out of the room. Alex walks out to so I can change out of my pjs. Kat helps me out with outfit.

I put on a black skater skirt, black t-shirt, knee high socks, black stockings, a green button shirt with my doc martens. Kat also does my hair in a fishtail braid. I do my makeup and grab my phone.

I walk into the living room and say goodbye to Alex and Kat. Mom said that Shawn was downstairs waiting for us in his  car.

We walk downstairs and get in the car. Mom sits up front and I sit in the back.

If you looked at us you would have assumed we were a family but we are not.

How does my mom expect me to find forgive the guy that got her pregnant and then abandoned her? And now he shows up when I'm 16 and wants to be apart of my life?

Mom and Shawn were talking, music was quietly filling the silence in between. I look out my window at the blurry trees and buildings we are passing by.

Shane pulls up to a restaurant. We walk in and wait for our table. It's small, cute restaurant it seems kinda fancy.

Our waitress comes and shows us our table and order our drinks. She eventually came back and we order our meals.

Mom and Shawn were still talking but I zoned them and  looked around at every one here at the restaurant. Everyone was dressed fancy expect me even my mom was wearing a nice blouse and skirt. If you looked at my mom you would think she was wearing a dress.  I kinda felt out of place with my outfit but I didn't let it get to me.

We ate our food once waitress came. Shawn was trying to get to know me and I accept that but I hope realizes that he will never be my father. He may be biological father but he will never be my father.

A father is supposed to be there for you, supposed to help you, guide you and he did none of those things to me. He was never there for me. He abandoned me and my mom. I don't see why my mom had forgiven him easily I mean he abandoned her before she could even tell him she was pregnant. 

After we ate our food and paid for it we walked outside and got in car. Shawn dropped off mom at our house so me and him could hang out. I ran upstairs and grabbed my bag and headphone and put them on my neck and walked downstairs with and we get in the car.

I ask him to take me to this music store with a bunch of record players and records. I start looking at the record players. I knew I would never get them since we could hardly afford groceries.

"Do you see anything you like?" Shawn asks.

"No" I lie. I have always wanted a record player but my mom could never afford it obviously.

"Oh come there must be something here that you like." He says. "Fine there is some stuff I want but mom can't afford any of these things in here." I say.

"Ok how about this we go and spend the rest of the day together doing whatever and right before I take you home we can come back here and get the things you want. Does that sound good?" Shawn says. I nod my head.

We walk out of the shop and I spot this cute little cupcake place. We walk inside and wait in line.

We got our cupcakes and walked up the stairs and sat down at a table and ate our cupcakes.

After we ate our cupcakes we went to the beach we just walked along the boardwalk at the beach. I took pictures with my phone.

They were families playing on the beach and people walking in bathing suits on the boardwalk. Some people were sitting down eating at the restaurants we pass by. Other people were on their bikes, roller skates, and scooters, and skateboards.

After we walk down the boardwalk and look at half of the shops in there we drive to a book store that is near the music store from earlier. We went in and looked around the shop. I saw some books that I wanted and grabbed them and went up to cash register and paid for them.

We then walked over to the music and got my record player but before we buy I look at the vinyls that they heave.

I end up getting the not an apology (bea Miller) vinyl, crybaby (Melanie martinez), badlands (Halsey), blue neighborhood (troye sivan), paramore, sounds good feels good (5sos).

I put in at least some money for the vinyl and the record player.

After that shawn took me home. I walked up the stairs to the apartment and walk inside with Shawn following me. Kat is watching tv in the living room while Alex is on his phone probably playing video games. I put everything up in me and Kat's room and walk back inside and cuddle up with Alex on the couch. Shawn was talking to mom and then he left after a couple minutes.

"How was  your day?" Alex asks

"It was really good actually, Shawn was telling me how he traveled around the world and took pictures and some funny stories from high school and middle school. I  told him about my childhood up until Lucas left. He doesn't need to know that." I say to Alex with Kat listening.

I think if I keep hanging out Shawn I might call him my dad instead of Shawn but who knows if that will happen.
