Addison's Pov 

getting a call from my dad first thing in the morning shows me this day will be like shit 

"what do you want dad ?" i snapped on the phone 

"don't use that tone with me young lady "he barked through the phone and i just rolled my eyes ,he lost my respect a long time ago when he left without a word to play the role of a father with another family 

"i can't pretend to be happy that you called "i answered not bothering if i'm hurting his feelings or not ,because he hurt mine more than i can ever hurt his 

he sighed on the other end "i wanted to let you know that you'll be celebrating thanks giving with us this year "

i snorted rolling off the bed and walking to the bathroom "no thanks ,i'll be spending it with mom" 

"i already talked to your mom and she said it's okay ,so you'll be spending it with me "

"that's not your choice to make ,you don't control what i do ,not anymore "i snapped .he never bothered to answer my calls or my letters when he left  ,he chose to ignore me and mom ,and than after nine years he calls saying he missed us and that he regrets his actions ,and what's even more heart breaking is that he has a family now ,he played the role of a father for the kids who are not his and broke the heart of his own kid 

"Charlie bear i miss you "i groaned as he used that nickname of my middle name ,he used to call me that when i was a little girl ,which only brings more heartache for the love i missed growing up "i want to spend every minute possible with you ,i want you to forgive me "he pleaded 

"i'm not sure if i'll ever be able to forgive you dad "i said hanging up and putting the phone down on the sink 

i grabbed my head tight in my hands wanting to scream in frustration because i know i'll be spending the thanksgiving with his new family ,  mom being the sweet nice women she is will make sure of   it ,because she thinks i need to spend more time with my father for my own good which i don't understand at all .

My morning class was a disaster ,not only did i not get one word (because my thoughts were still hang up on the conversation i had with dad )but our professor Mr Thompson also gave us an essay due in a week and it's worth 40% of our final grade .a disaster 

i had a free period so i went to Garret's pub where a lot of students go for breaks ,i sat in a booth in the far end and pulled out my laptop to start on my essay for Mr Thompson's class ,social science can be sort of easy if you listened to what the professor is saying (which i didn't ),now i know it'll be hard to finish this essay  

my phone beeps from my pocket and i pray it's not my dad ,i pull it out to find a text from an unknown number : good morning sunshine 

i frown as i read the message and type back : who's this ?    

almost instantly there is an answer : the hottest specimen you know ;) 

now i know who would write that ,i shook my head as i typed back : Dean ? how did you get my number ??   

i haven't seen him since the night of my break down two days ago ,i thought he saw what a weirdo i am and chose to stay away ,but he's texting me now !!!!

unknown number :so you are admitting that i'm the hottest specimen you know ,i'm glad you think that way babe ;)

i rolled my eyes as i read his answer and i'm trying to reply when there is a beep 

unknown number :don't you roll your eyes on me Addison gray 

i gasped and looked around the pub before answering :how did you know i was doing that ??? 

unknown number :you always roll your eyes when my hotness is the subject of the conversation 

i rolled my eyes again ,then giggled when i realized what i did ,he really knows me now better than i thought anyone did 

unknown number :where are you ? 

me :at Garret's 

there wasn't a reply so i knew he'll be heading here ,i groaned as i slid my phone back in my pockets 

i'm scared to admit that there are butterflies on my stomach at the idea of seeing him ,ugh i'm doomed 

five minutes later a big form castes a shadow over me .looking up ,i expected to see Dean with his ready smile and bright blue eyes, but instead i see Jared standing there 

"Hi "i smiled at him 

"i always wonder if i'll ever see you out of dance class "he smiled back 

"i don't just dance ,i study too "

"i can see that "he looked at my books and notebooks on the table "what is your major ?"

"social and human sciences "i replied on a sigh "i thought i'll go with something easy to have more time for dancing "i gestured at the books again "i thought wrong "

he chuckled "yeah it's bad the first year ,then it's a piece of cake "

"this is your major too ?" i asked surprised 

he grinned "yeah ,in junior and senior years it will get easy for you "he gestured at my laptop "what are you working on ?"he asked 

"an essay for my social sciences class "i replied sighing because i haven't even started yet 

"Mr Thompson ?" he asked and when i nodded  he chuckled "tough guy "he nodded to the seat across from me shifting his backpack on his shoulder "you mind if i join you ?I've got some studying to finish too "

a familiar voice stopped   him from sliding into the booth "i mind Martinez "  

my head jerks up to see Dean standing behind Jared ,he  stepped between us and leaned down brushing a kiss across my cheek "good morning babe ,i didn't mean to be late "
