Chapter 2; Follow your heart

Juliet’s p.o.v

I was still unsure of what had happened earlier today. My own father had shown up. I never thought I would see that one coming. He wanted to me to work with him in California, he wanted me to drop everything I had here and move out there with him. I didn’t have much here, but I did have my uncle. I had never once thought about working for my dad. I thought about everything that had happened today as I drove home.

I was definitely going to talk to my uncle about this. He seems to have been talking a lot with my dad recently, or maybe he has always kept in touch with him. I never thought that would happen. I walked inside and saw my uncle sitting on the sofa with my father and mystery man. I wasn’t sure who he was, so I was going to call him mystery man.

“Jesus Christ, can I catch a break today?” I screamed. This whole situation was stressing me out.

“Juliet, we need to talk.” My uncle said standing up.

“You make it sound like I am doing drugs and this is like a fucking intervention.” I spat. 

“Hahaha!” The mystery guy started laughing. 

“Justin!” My dad spat. So that is his name...Justin.

“What it’s funny.” He said looking at me, he smiled.

“Juliet, your father is offering you a better life. You can even go to college while you work with him.” My uncle said. They were teaming up on my now, great.

“How many times do I have to tell you, I don’t want to go to college?” I was so frustrated. 

“You need an education.” He countered.

“No I don’t. I don’t need a degree just to prove to people how smart I am.” I spat.

“Still you need to think about the netter life he is offering you.” My uncle pushed. 

“I have a life here.” I pushed back. Some of what he was saying was making sense, but I didn't want to admit it. 

“No you don’t Juliet. The only thing you have holding you back here is, me. I am fine without you, I want you to go. We both know how much you want to go. You love music, you love writing, and you love singing. Don’t let me hold you back and don’t let the fact that it is your father that is offering this, hold you back from following your heart.” He said. He had a great point. I couldn’t believe that I was even considering this.

“Fine, I will go!” I said walking into my room and slamming the door shut. I was so over the debate about it. 

My father must be in some serious need of help if he is here asking me to help him. I can only wonder why he would ask me…what am I getting myself into. I don't think that I was mentally prepared for everything that happened today.

What was the deal with Justin? Why was here with my father? He seemed different and I couldn’t seem to understand him. I was normally really good at reading other people around me, but he was different. My father seemed seemed very perplexed and frustrated. I pushed everything to the side and focused on myself. I grabbed my music journal and looked at the last song I was working on. I just couldn’t think clearly. After an hour I decided to get some food. I walked into the kitchen and saw Justin sitting at the counter top writing something down.

“Um. Hello.” I said as I began to make a sandwich.

“Oh hey.” He said looking up at me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“Your dad and uncle agreed we would just stay here for a while. Instead of getting a hotel two hours away.” He said.

“Good idea.” I said agreeing with thier decision. 

“Can I have a sandwich too?” He asked.

“God gave you two hands and a brain for a reason.” I said as I put my sandwich on a plate, I grabbed a bottle of water and a bag of chips before walking away. He looked at me and rolled his eyes before getting up to make his own sandwich.

 I have to admit he was attractive, at least from what I could tell. There was still something odd about him and I wasn’t sure what it was. I could tell this was going to be an interesting few days. Tomorrow I had to go into work to talk to them about me moving California. I loved working there, they were all nice people whom kept to themselves. I wonder what they would even say about it. I hope they will be able to find someone to replace me soon. 

 (Please let me know what you think!! :) Also, I have written through chapter 5 and I am really excited to post it!! I just can't help but write. lol.)
