4 days later

As I hit 8th period I was dragging. No forreal, dragging myself to the cafeteria. Since Dolph had the same periods with me, I tried losing him in the halls but it was no use. He's like 5'11 so he can see me even if Im ahead of him by a mile. As I sat at an empty table I smelt someone's cologne. Strawberries and roses must be Taylor. I thought. Sure enough it was. Don't even ask me how I remember his scent. I have absolutely no clue. And behind him was John and Dolph. I sighed as I heard John sit on my left and Dolph sit on my right and Taylor sit in front of me with a smirk growing on his lips.

"Didn't think you'd get away from us easily did ya?" I heard Taylor say, but I wouldn't look up from the black table with a white top.

"Aye Tay, cut it out. Leave her alone man." Huh, 2 times in 4 day... Dolph's on a role.

I heard John sigh before saying "Come on pretty lady, lets let these two bicker while me and you go get something to eat? What do u say?" It was tempting if I do say so myself. But I promised to stay on school grounds during my period off.

My dad walked up to me before I could walk through my first period. "Promise me you won't wander off during your off period even when your older okay?" I sighed. I would never get use to his deep voice.

"Fine I promise. I love u daddy." My dad kissed my forhead goodbye and gave me a quick hug and with that he left. And never came back. Even though he left, I felt like I need to keep his promise.

I pouted before answering remembering that memory made me feel uneasy. I didn't want to draw attention to my self. "I can't John.. Im sorry. I really want to." I look into his eyes and spotted a hint of sadness.

"Oh, okay. Its okay. I understand." I knew John was upset so I leaned to my left where he was and put my head on his shoulder. I felt his hand on my waist as he pulled me closer. I smiled. He smelt like cinnamon and vanilla. Vanilla? Yummmm I love vanilla. I heard someone clear their throat but I was to busy day dreaming to bother to look up.

John's POV

As I had my hand on her waist, I couldn't help but think I like her. She was so beautiful. She was wearing a crop top that showed half of her belly. With ripped jeans and a pair of Nikes. I felt every inch of me get hot as she kissed my cheek. I looked over at the guys but they were glaring at me. And I swear if looks could kill, I'd be 7 feet under right now. I just stared as a smile grew on my face.

After school

Michaela's POV

As I walked to my house, I couldn't help but wonder. Would my life be different with my "dad" here? But I wouldn't call him a "dad". He left my mother and I to feed for our selfs. He's been gone for about a year. And it still hurt alot. As I looked for my house keys I heard a noise from inside and put my ear to the door.

"You need to get out before she gets home" I heard my mom say giggling and shuffling which sounded like clothes.

"But I want to see her. Pleasee??" I heard a deep deep voice say and I shook. He sounds familiar.

"Not like this Rob. She would freak if she saw you like this." Like hell I would.

When I thought was enough I put my key in the lock and turned. I paused as soon as I open the door. "D-daddy?" Was the only word I could say. He reached out for me but I took a step back not wanting to touch him.

"Hun? Are u okay?" Am I okay? What the fuck?! How was my mom going to ask if I was okay when I come into my house and see my dad, which I haven't seen in like 1 year, half naked on the couch with my mother?! I trembled in anger. I clenched and unclenched my fists.

"Im fine mother." I managed to say through a clenched jaw. I only say 'mother' when Im really mad so I think she got the hint I was a tad bit angry.

I grabbed my bag, which had fallen in the ground when I walked in the door, and angrily walked to my blue truck, and speed off before they could say anything else. I was beyond pissed. How can she keep this a secert from me? How long have the been doing 'it' when I was a school? As so many questions ran through my mind I couldn't help but go alittle faster. I looked at the speed meter, 75. As I was driving I pulled out my phone and called the first person in my list: John. He picked up on the first buzz.

"Hello?" I heard his soft sexy voice over the phone.

"Yeah it's Michaela." I managed to say calmly.

"Kayla? Why are u calling me? What's up?"

"I needed someone to talk to.." I heard some shuffling over the phone.

"Meet me at the park on southside." And with that he hung up. I looked at a street sign at read South side. I looked for the park John told me to go to and saw it. I parked in the parking lot and went to a swing.
About 5 minutes later John came wearing a tight light blue shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans. He immediately saw me and walked towards me.

"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" He sounded worried. I smiled sadly and noded.

"Okay so my dad left me and my mom about a year ago. Me and him were really close, we would talk about our days and stuff like that. He left us for some skank that was about twice as young as he is. So of course it hurt like a bitch. He never made contact, he never sent letters, he didn't even call. My mother was devastated, she would cry in her room all day long and not come out. So I cried and cried and cried untill there were no more tears and that's when I thought it was enough.. About 3 months ago I had given up all hope that he was gonna return." I felt a hot tear go down my cheek. "But... I come home to see my mother with him, half naked on the couch. He tried coming close to me.. But I couldn't." I clenched my fist. "I-I didn't know what to do.. So I just grabbed my bag and jumped in my car." I took a deep breathe. I looked at John, his eyes oh those eyes of his. I could just melt in them.

"Oh Michaela.. I know how u feel. My mother left my dad and I around 3 years ago. She cheated on him and he was devastated also. But now he buries himself in his work. But I still think about her... Alot." I saw a tear slide down his cheek instantly my hand went up to his cheek and wiped the tear with my thumb.

"Am I gonna get through this John?" He smiled a sad smile and noded.

"You are... And Ill be there every step of the way." I hugged him tightly.
