Charlie's P.O.V
"Who is it?" Hannah asks nervous at my response. "It....its..my dad.." i studder at the words he typed. Hannah catches me tear up and go to sit and comfort me. "I'm sorry hun.." she didn't have much to say to me but she told me she had to leave for a hip appointment. I nodded slowly still looking at my phone. I texted Lola and told her i needed her. I get taken out of my stupid thoughts by a text message from Lola:
Ill be there in a little bit Char... don't worry.
I throw my phone down and get up. I pass back and forth by my bed and rub my eyes.. this cant be happening. I think, what does he want... Lola comes running up the stairs but before she's all the way up i run to go give her a hug. I find myself crying on her shoulder. "Oh my God what's wrong?" She pulls me to her side and helps me up the few stairs we have left. We make our way to my bed and i give her my phone. She reads the message from my dad:
(This part is real)
Charlie I'm so sorry for all I've done. I'm trying to change. Me and Michele are starting to go to church more often and we really would like it if you came by sometime to see Monkey and our new kitten Mary. We really love you.. i miss you princess.
"He used to call me princess every night before i fell asleep." I said quietly. "I don't know what to say, or even how to say it." I grab my phone and start typing.
Hey Daddy! I miss you too!! Maybe sometime this weekend will work?! I cant wait to meet Mary and see Monkey again!! I love you tooo!!
I sent it and shut my phone off.
"This is probably the most stressful day ever." Who would have guessed that right after that i got another new message:
Hey baby! I miss you! I might come down this weekend so i can see you!!
Why. Why do i make plans. "Who was that?" Lola asked. "James. He wants to hang this weekend.. he's coming to town and wants to see me." I show her the message and let out a huge sigh. "What are you gonna do?" She asks. "Maybe James one day and my dad the next..." we headed downstairs to get some popcorn and maybe some pop. I start the popcorn and head for the fridge to be taken away by the door bell. I hesitate to go to the hall and open it.
(real)
I find my jaw wide open. "Hey babygirl" he smiles. "DADDY OH MY GOD!" i smile big and hug him. He picks me up and swings me around. "Hey Princess how have you been?" He puts me down and we head for the grass. "Its been stressful couple of days.. but I'm up on my feet still." I smiled. We talked for like an hour and i couldn't be happier. I really missed him. I think the last time i saw him i was probably 10.
**flashback**
We were at my grandma Nancy house (when she was still alive my dad lived there so he could be able so see us more often.) Me, Eli, and my dad were cuddled up on the couch playing the "Wheres Waldo" books. I was laying dads girlfriend Michele, and Eli on the other side of my dad. My Grandma came out to tell us goodnight. "Goodnight babies. I love you, God loves you, and so does this house." ( I miss my Grandma now..) she goes off to bed after she said her goodnights to us. After that we all stayed up for about another hour and fell asleep where we were.
*end of flashback*
After what seemed like forever, my dad finally had to go. "Goodnight princess, i love you. God loves you, and the house loves you." I almost went to tears but i managed to keep them back. We hugged again and i saw him walk to his truck and drive off. I walk back inside to see a sleeping Lola on my couch. I feel bad but i know.. maybe she'll forgive me.. maybe she didn't care. I wake her up. "Hey hun.. I'm super sorry about my dad.." i whisper. "Oh its totally fine. You missed him. And plus i was just getting caught up on my... um... Netflix?" She looks over at the TV not knowing what to say. I laugh and pat her on the head. "Oh hun. The TV wasnt even on." She blushed and checked her phone. "So how's Brock?" (Some of you don't know much about him because he's just been mentioned like once or twice. But here he is. Brock is a tall brown haired blue eyes boy. Him and Lola have been on and off for probably like.. a month. He is sweet, charming and he cares about her. Welp thats a summery.. back to the book.) "He's perfect as always." She blushes and smiles at her phone. We talking about anything we can all night. She's the type of girl i can rely on. Maybe sometimes she a pain but she's my best friend. Who else could i ask for?
