Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better, a man started walking toward me. Blue eyes like mine. Blonde hair with gray highlighting. It's my dad. My dad whom I haven't seen or spoken to in four years.

"Princess" his eyes swelling with tears

"Dad" I say as I run to him holding him tight.

"I'm sorry, Marie. For everything"

"It's okay dad I forgive you."

I turn and see Harry walking away.

"Dad this is Harry." Harry turns around and offers his hand.

"Hi Harry. I'm Michael. Nice to meet you"

"You too Mr. Jordan."

"Dad. Me and harry are dating."

"Really?" He looks kinda surprised

"Yes sir." Harry says

Soon after my mom finds us. "Honey! I'm so proud of you Marie!" She hugs me and Harry. Not looking my dad's direction.

"Why don't we go eat supper?"

"That would be great, mom. But one rule."

"What's that?"

"Dad has to come too"

She takes a deep breath "okay."

I cling to Harry's side as we walk out of the school. As I say goodbye to memories, friends, and teachers. I'm glad to have my family back together for one night and to have Harry by my side.
