*This is the 1st and last chapter. This is my first story before I did Stay, so I'll just keep it to remind me of my beginning. I decided not to continue this because this story requires great writing which I lack. Even if it's just a short beginning, I hope you'll still like it*
*please check my Msg. board for the plot^_^*
Chapter 1: *Before my Dawn*
*ma ma ma ma* *ma ma ma ma* I reached for my phone and gave the 'STOP' a good punch. At first I was enjoying poker face. But now, I swear I'll kill Lady Gaga if I ever see her. (like I will-_-) I dreamed a very good dream today so I guess my day will not be good today. (That's what they say! Dreams are opposite to what will happen) I tried my luck so I checked my phone for messages in case my friends texted me about the suspension of class today. But, it's not suspended; I think the opposite thingy is true T_T. What the heck are they waiting for to suspend the class? Thunder storms? It's been raining for 3 days now, no thunder storms, but 3 days STRAIGHT?!? I sigh and just took my stuff and just went to the bathroom.
'After I putted on my uniform I went downstairs and surprise! Breakfast is already prepared by Ferdinand Agcaoili, a call center agent, a divorced man, and my father. Maybe you wonder what's surprising about a father preparing a breakfast for her only daughter. Well, let me tell you this, His shift starts at 6pm and end at 3 am. He will arrive at home at 4 then at 4:30 he's already asleep, so I'll always go to school and grab some bread at the school's cafeteria. But the time in my watch is 5:45am. So I think something is going to happen. I hope this one is not part of that opposite dream thing.
I tried to act like I'm not surprised. But HELLO?!? He's been with me and raised me for 15 years so I know I didn't succeed with the act part, and he's amused face proved it. "Okay, just spill it paps" I said while eating my hotsilog (Hotdog + fried rice + sunny side up egg). Now I'm nervous. His face suddenly change to 'my cute little girl' look to 'please understand me' (PUM) look. "Are you planning to accept that offer to migrate in Canada?" I asked while drinking my cold milk. He just continued his 'PUM' look so I assumed I was right. "I told you its fine with me as long as I can come with you".
"No, I already declined it" he said, still wearing the PUM look.
"Then what is it?" I asked with I small voice. I think I already know the answer. And I don't want to hear it. But he said it anyway.
"Your Auntie Mildred and I will get married." He said. Looking at me straight in the eyes. I tried to be calm, not to cry. But gosh! Why do I have this pair of eyes that easily cry?!? It always gives me away.
After he saw my teary eyed and my red nose (I'm sure my red nose is as red as Rudolf's right now) he started to walk towards me but I'm already on my feet.
"Paps, I can't. Sorry" I grab my things and umbrella, already walking in the door when my father caught my arm.
"Nea, don't do this. You know I love you. And I also love your mother. But you have to accept that she leaves us for another man and she will never come back. I need someone besides me, and she will also be good for you. You'll have a mother figure, you can talk to her about anything, and you can tell her anything that you can't tell me. Share stories about boys."
"Pa!" I cried pulling my arm away from his grip. "I can talk to you! I can tell you anything! I don't have problem with that. But you have! You're the one who is not comfortable talking to me!" My head feels like it will explode any minute now, but I still continued. "And you also know that I don't care about you forgetting mom, I can't even remember her! I don't have any memories of her! Don't use me as an excuse of getting married, because we both know that you are the only one who wants this. You're being selfish that you don't even care what will happen to me!" and that's where I had enough and just ran off out of our house.
