A/N So sorry for the long wait ,had a lot going on . He's a filler but I'm gonna be editing the book a lot and even changing things from the beginning so you might want to take a look on that when it happens. Expect more updates soon ! 


"She must go to a therapist weekly .." I stopped listening to the conversation between my doctor and my father .

I looked at James who was listening closely asking a few questions himself. They all talked , but I couldn't hear a word not even a sound that came out of their mouth.

"Take care of yourself Amanda ." The doctor ( who's name I didn't bother to learn ) waved .

I gave him a small , awkward wave and let James take me out of the hospital. My dad ahead of us walking quickly to the car , James kissed the top of my head helping me in . My dad had opened the other door helping me from the inside , he bulked my belt and James sat next to me. I was very weak and needed help getting the car even if I didn't want it I knew I needed it .

I leaned my head against the window and stared at the buildings as we passed them . The car was completely silent , James was lightly stroking my hand with his thumb , my dad focusing on the road to James house , and I was just trying not to fall asleep.

We dropped James off home , like always he promised to message me and call to make sure I was alright . James messaged me right when he entered his building , I didn't have the strength to pick up the phone . The car ride to my dads house was silent , there was no noise , no people on the streets, nothing . The houses looked like a blur as we sped past them , my dad remained silent as for I tried to stay awake still yet felt my eyelids growing heavy .

I opened my eyes and noticed a new setting, I wasn't in the car . I sat up with a headache and looked around taking in the plain room , so empty and dull. The walls were a plain white much like my room , the bed was possible a king size , the closet looked full of dress shirts and ties , the black clock o the wall ticked loudly. 

"Dad?" i said quietly , feeling my throat burn. 

The door opened and I noticed the choice of clothing my dad bothered to wear . His plan black shirt and blue jeans was new , his black converse was something I haven't seen him wear before, his hair styled and he flashed a smile holding a glass of water. 

"Hey kid."  He slowly walked towards me.

Still shocked by his new look it gave him a chance to sit at the end of the bed without me flinching. He handed me the water snapping me out of my little daze , he waited for me to sallow the whole cup down before speaking again. 

"How are you feeling?" he watched me place the cup on the dresser next to me.

"Why do you look you're age?" I asked. 

He laughed and looked down saying , "I needed to change. All I did was work and it stressed me to the point where I hurt my own daughter .." he trailed off and looked out the window. 

"You look good ?" I tried to complement him.

"We got somewhere to go , someone that I want you to meet," He helped me out of the bed, "It might be too soon and I know you don't want to meet new people or see any people for the matter yet I think you'll like them." He smiled. 

"Can I bring James?" I asked . 

"Not this time, the next time ."

"There's gonna be a next time?" I walked out of the room with him into a familiar hallway. 

"Yes , hopefully."

"Wait, " The thought came to me , "was the your room?" I saw the door to my room and the guest bedroom. 

"Yeah ."

"I've never been in your room since the day we moved in ." I walked into my room. 

"Lots of things are going to be changing kid. " He yelled from the kitchen. 

I grabbed my phone and dialed James number , he answered on the first ring .

"'Manda what the hell !" he shouted. 

"What ?" I said quietly. 

"Sorry for yelling , but I said to call when you got home . It's been two hours !"

I was asleep for two hours? 

" I fell asleep in the car , sorry ." I apologized. 

" Well , are you alright ? Nothing bad happened ?" he asked.

"I woke up to a new dad . " I joked.

"What ?"

"My dad did his hair , he shaved his beard, he's not wearing his suit and tie . It's weird seeing him so .. normal. "

"He's changing himself for the better I assume ?" 

I started to look for something to wear in the closet rather than lay on my bed . I grabbed a pair of black jeans and plain grey long sleeved shirt, I searched for my black jacket .

"Dave is still kinda down , he doesn't really want to move from his spot on the couch, but at least he's out of his room. " James started talking about his brothers. 

"Awe , when i'm feeling better I promise to visit as soon as possible .. uh James have you seen my black jacket ?" I asked.

"It's on your desk chair , where are you going ?" he asked. 

"My dad said to get dressed because he wants me to meet someone , apparently they're important. " I grabbed the chair and set my clothes down on the bed going over to my bathroom and brushing through my tangled hair then putting it up in a messy bun. 

"New girlfriend or what ?" he asked. 

"What ? No way , my dads too old to have a girlfriend." I argued. 

"It's alright to not feel okay about it ,but come on think about it he's cleaning up his act he might as well get someone in his life in the process of becoming a new man. " He continued , "Fresh new look and youre dad is not old he's thirty two for crying out loud , he looks old with that beard and always wearing his suits all baggy-"

"You're just gonna keep insulting my dad ?" I cut him off. 

"Sorry , but i bet he actually looks good with his new transformation yes or no ?" 

"Well yeah." I agreed putting on my jacket then sighed hearing my dad call for me. 'Babe i gotta go , I'll call you later if not tomorrow morning." 

"Bye then , uh iloveyou . " He rushed and hung up. 

I grabbed my phone and bag walking out the door when it hit me , "Wait what ?" I stopped in my tracks.
