Leah's pov-
Now it was Thanksgiving Break, I somehow managed to survive high school so far. We were currently getting ready for our family Thanksgiving dinner. My dad invited his hospital co workers and I was in my room stressing over my outfit. I finally decided on a jean mini skirt, a green sweater and a pair of knee high black boots. I smiled and curled my hair, I did my makeup. Once I walked downstairs, I saw Michael and his girlfriend Crystal on the couch.
She said "Leah!" She got up and we hugged each other. She was a nurse at Michaels practice but now she works with the boys at the hospital. "How is school? You need to spill the tea with me." I laughed and Michael said "She'll tell you later. Leah your dad is wondering if you can help him outside." "Of course." I went outside and I saw my dad raking the leaves. "Yes father." He smiled and said "Yeah can you pick up my phone for me from the table and read the latest text message to me."
"That's all you needed me for? For real dad." "What I'm lazy." I rolled my eyes and went to pick up his phone from the table, I opened it and read the text message out loud "Luke said hey I got you guys the tickets to go to Australia for the summer. Wait dad! We are going to Australia for the summer!" "Yes." I ran into his arms and he spun me around like I was little again. "Why though?" "Your mom wanted to take you as soon as you turned seventeen and you turned seventeen last week."
He wasn't wrong I did turn seventeen last week. "But you guys didn't have to." "Leah we did, your birthday was spent with a bunch of theater nerds on a field trip and us working." He was right I started to tear up and he said "Happy late birthday Leah." "Thank you dad." We stood their for a while like that and soon I heard Luke saying "Y'all stop with the father daughter moment and come inside and see the rest of our guest."
