A Chance

Chapter Two

Above is how I picture Jace Wilde to be.

Joey ran downstairs when she smelled the lasagna. Gunnar could cook, and he was really good at it. That was one of his charms. He was a genuine heartthrob. He could do many things: charismatic, play piano, cook, speak French, and had that rugged look to him. He was smooth and could pick up any girl.

She came down to see the table set, a great smell, and Gunnar standing so proud of him. She laughed to herself.

"You ready for this?" Gunnar asked.

"No, not at all. When are they coming home?" Joey asked walking towards the table.

"Look, it's going to be fine. They know how hard you have worked for this and that it's your dream."

It's hard to say that dancing was her dream. Her father was in the Marine Core.

Where he met their mother, she was a Marine nurse. She healed him back to health when he got injured. He begged her to go out with him. And she finally said yes. And later on, when Joey was eight, she got really sick, with terminal cancer and died of pneumonia. Her mother looked a lot like her except for her hair color. She had dark black hair and blue eyes. Joey saw a picture of her when on her wedding day with Joey's father. They looked so happy together. Joey had fond memories of her. Her mom loved it when she danced. She use to say that she would look so calm, relaxed, happy, and in love with what she was doing.

Her oldest brother, Charlie, he just finished first year of serving after college and is currently serving his time in the Marine Corps as a doctor.

Danny is in his fifth year of college and is serving for the Marines working as a mechanical engineer on submarines.

Gunnar just finished up his first year of college and is starting his ROTC training in the summer for the Marines.

Being the only one in the family whose isn't going to be involved in the Marines and serving her country was it a little hard to adjust to. Being a dancer doesn't reach the high expectations of her father. But, he came around to the idea.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a door opening and a dog barking.

"We're home!" A voice said.

"They're home!" Joey yelled. She ran to the doorway.

Standing there was her father, Charlie, and Danny.

Her father, William Charles Stark, forty-one years old, hadn't changed much since the last time she saw him. He is a Marine general. He has light brown hair, which is slightly graying, but it suits him though. He stood tall at 6'5". He has tired bye eyes. He stood there in his Marine uniform. He was as pale as Joey was. He was a strong man. You did not want to get on his bad side.

Her oldest brother, Charles Jonathan Stark, twenty-five years old, got taller, now standing at 6'8". He is a doctor. He just got out of ROTC, now he is serving as a Marine Corps doctor. He had been over in Italy serving for about a year. He could speak the language fluently. He has red-brown hair with green eyes. Charlie is quite handsome. He very smart, caring, charismatic, and kind. He can be a smart ass at times. He and Joey have a close relationship and he is the oldest and she is the youngest. He use to tease her all the time when they were younger, but after he left for college, they became closer. Never the less, they always have each other's backs.

Her second brother, Daniel Garret Stark, twenty-three years old, he is 6'7". He is in ROTC for the Marines as a mechanical engineer. He has dark black hair with sapphire blue eyes. He is as pale as Joey, maybe even more. He is very handsome. Danny preferred to be by himself. He was sociable when he wanted to be, but, other wise, his nose was in a book. He is very smart. He has been stationed over in Japan for a year now as well, as well can speak it fluently. He is very intelligent. Girls thought him as the silent type, and tried to get him to notice them, but sadly, it didn't work. Joey and he got along, they were close, but he is closer to Charlie.
