After I left school, my phone buzzed

and saw I had a call from Jonathan.

"Hello?"

"Your lucky mom didn't pick up the

phone."

"So I left early. Who cares? They

all want me dead anyway."

"Just don't cut class again.

Understand?"

"Yes dad." I joked

"Haha very funny. Where are you?"

"Just got off the bus. Why?"

"Ok see you home."

Then the line went dead. I shoved

my phone in my pocket and walked

home. The wind was howling and

strong. I gripped my jacket closer

and walked. It felt like ages just

getting to my house. After feeling like

it's been forever, I reached my house

and Jonathan opened the door.

"Damn Julie it's freezing out there.

You shouldn't we walking when it's

that cold." He scolded. "I'm fine.

See. Perfectly fine." I was annoyed. I

just wanted to be alone. I ran up to

my room and slammed the door. I

looked out the window and found a

carving in the tree. That was never

there before. I took a closer look and it

read:

Julianne, your dad is coming. He's

coming home.

I backed away from the window in

shock. I haven't seen my dad in

years. He is currently in the Coast

Guard and the last time I saw him

was when I graduated 8th grade.

Now I'm a senior in high school and

he's coming home. The door bell

rang and I ran down a few steps and

tumbled down the stairs. "Crap Julie

are you ok?" Jonathan panicked.

"I'm fine." Ever since I couldn't find

my razors, falling down the stairs felt

good. I got up and opened the door.

I widened my eyes. He was home.

"Dad?" "Yes baby girl. I'm home."

I jumped on top of him and cried. He

was really home. After all those

years I thought that he was never

coming home and that he died in

war, I was wrong. "It's ok darling.

I'm home. I'm home for good."

*****Ok so I'm heading to Florida tonight and should arrive in the afternoon/evening. So if I'm bored on the road I'll probably update. So have a good winter break!
