Perrie's POV
My dad and I are currently at the golf course. I am wearing high waisted black checkered shorts that have a hot pink golf shirt tucked into them, pink golf gloves, black and pink checkered knee high socks, and black golf shoes. My hair is pulled back into a pony tail and I have on foundation, blush, gold eyeshadow, mascara, and light pink lip gloss.
My dad just finished his hole so he hopped into the golf cart and now we are driving.
"So I met those friends of Justin's you told me about last night." I said awkwardly
"Perrie I told you to stay away from them! They are trouble!" my dad said looking at me
"I know I know. Calm down they only introduced themselves to me. They looked like wanna be rappers." I said laughing causing my dad to laugh
"The funny part is they are rappers. Look I know you are bored so why don't we get out of here and go get McDonalds or something?" my dad asked smirking
"Sounds good to me." I said taking off my golf gloves. After my dad returned the golf cart we hopped into the car and he drove to McDonalds. We ordered our food and now we are eating it in the parking lot.
"How is your mother doing?" he asked breaking the silence
"She is good. She has been real busy at work and visiting Nana."
"Did you invite her to the wedding?" I asked looking over at him
"Yes I did but you and I both know that she won't come."
"Well when you got cheated on I don't think I would come either." I said looking down
"Look Perrie we're not perfect any of us. We make mistakes, we screw up. But we learn from our mistakes and move on. I'm sorry that you walked in on me and Isabelle that one day and I'm sorry I asked you to keep it from your mother. I should have never done that and I'm sorry."
"I don't hate you Dad. I push people away that's just what I do. But to see mom hurt like that broke my heart. Thats why I am so sarcastic all the time. Can I ask you a question?" he nodded his head
"Why did you ever cheat on mom?"
He sighed "I was always working and your mom was busy taking care of you and your brother. I guess we just fell out of love. I should have divorced her before I cheated but I was a pig and I couldn't help myself. I'm not proud of what I did."
"Can people really do that? Fall out of love?"
"Why of course Perrie. Sometimes the love just isn't there anymore. You ready to go back?" he asked looking at me
"Yeah I am." I said buckling up my seatbelt. I am glad my dad and I had this talk because I feel like it brought us closer. My dad isn't really an affectionate person but him talking to me today ment a lot. We pulled into my driveway and I saw Justin, Alfredo, Ryan, Chaz, and Justin's other friends riding AV's around his yard. I quickly ran inside and up to my room to change. I threw on a pair of high waisted, ripped jean shorts, white converse, and a grey cropped top that had a picture of the beach on it. I opened up a drawer and pulled out a blue velvet box and ran downstairs.
"Dad I am going out for a bit!" I yelled before walking out the door. I walked over to Justin's house and completely ignored the stares I was getting from him and his friends.
"Hey Perrie." Kenny greeted me
"Hey Kenny. Is Pattie here?" I asked
"Yes she is inside watching tv. Go ahead in." he said smiling
"Thanks!" I exclaimed stepping inside. I walked into the family room and knocked on the wall so she knows I am here.
"Oh hey Per! Come on in!" she said patting the couch next to her
"Thanks. So I need your help with something." I said pulling out the velvet box and handing it to her. She opened it up and gasped and then nodded her head.
"Alright get up. I know where to go." she said grabbing her purse and keys as we walked out to her car.
"Justin we are heading out. For dinner there are leftovers in the fridge tell Scooter please." she said as we got into the car. We drove in silence for a while until we came to the beach. She parked the car and we got out and I followed her to a cliff that over looked the ocean. We both sat down and I pulled the box out and then pulled my engagement ring out.
"Do you miss him?" she asked me
"Yeah I do but it is time to move on." I said playing with the ring. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a tear run down my cheek.
"Do you know why we broke up Pattie?" I asked her but she nodded her head no.
"He cheated on me when he was drunk. Then he lied about it right to my face. Do you know how I found out? His best friend told me." I said wiping my tears away
"It broke my heart. We ended up getting in a fight and boom like that it was over. I died my hair twice. One time it was pink the other time it was purple. I partied a lot and smoked. I had to go to rehab Pattie." I said sobbing as she pulled me in for a hug rubbing my back.
"Perrie there is nothing wrong with asking for help." she said stroking my hair
"I know that now. I was in a downward spiral and the scary part was I didn't know when I was going to stop. I feel like this big thing has been weighing on me for the past couple months and I am sick of it." I said looking up at her
"Look Perrie I know what you are going through because I went through the same thing. You just got to keep your head up and pray. But the first step is letting go and I think you know what that is." she said looking down at the ring
I took one final look at the ring and I tossed it over the cliff into the ocean. It felt good to finally let that damn thing go. I tossed the box too. Pattie helped me up and we linked arms as we walked back to her car.
"Thank you." I said giving her a hug
"Anytime sweetheart anytime." she said
We were five minutes away from the house when a question popped into my head. "Why do you like Isabelle?" I asked her
"Well my friendship with Isabelle certainly isn't as strong as my friendship with your mom's but she is nice. Look Per she doesn't have too many friends here so I try to be friendly." she said giving me a look
"What I'm friendly too. Maybe sarcastic every here and there but mostly nice." I said looking back at her
"Mmm sure." she said parking the car. We got out laughing but I stopped when I saw Justin.
"Hey Perrie can I talk to you?" he asked. I nodded my head yes and followed him to the front porch.
"Look I'm sorry about last night. I was an ass to you and I deserved everything you said to me. And I also wanted to say that you were right about everything you said. So I threw out all the smoking stuff. I'm starting fresh." he said looking at me
"Well I'm very happy for you. And you don't have to do this alone I am here for you. I only say the stuff I do because no matter how much you annoy me I still care. I don't want to see your career go down the tubes over stupid mistakes."
"Well thak you. I'm glad I have somebody looking out for me. So are we good?"
"Yeah we are good. So we are back to fake dating again?" he asked as we both stood up
"Yeah we are. Let's make it official." he said holding his hand out for a high five
"You are such a dork." I said high fiving him
"You hungry?" he asked putting his arm around me
"Starving." I said holding my stomach
"Lets go eat then!" he exclaimed as we walked inside
