7 months later
i sit down on the couch with my favorite book in my hand; 50 shades of grey
my dad hates that it's one of my favorite books but i just love the connection the 2 characters have
even though anastasia annoys me but christain seems like he really cares for her and only wants the best
ring
i pick up my phone and read my text message
lily:
you still coming tonight?! i better be seeing you because this means a lot! bye
"who is it?" my dad ask
"lily" i turn my phone off
"are you going to her birthday? i feel like it's all she's been talking about" my dad turns on the tv
"i guess i have too, it's at a random bar that i've never heard of" i tell my dad
my dad nods and sits down on the couch a little farther then me
i look back at my book and continue reading
"any news from joey?" my dad interrupts
i take a deep breath, "no"
"why would he just walk out like that? i cant believe he would do that after everything" my dad chuckles
"yea" i press my lips together and look back at my book
i haven't told my dad the real reason joey walked out, my dad would've killed me
i tried to forget about him and honestly it's getting better. i do miss him and i regret everything i've said to him
but i really think it was a good idea that we both would grow as a person and maybe we can meet again
but i haven't talked to him at all since our fight. not even a text. nothing
he's probably moved on and i wouldn't be surprised. he's always finding a new girl to be with and i just hope it'll be the right one for him
but deep down i know that it should be me. these past 7 months i've learned a lot. i've learned to love myself more, to enjoy every moment, know my worth, and best of all, be happy with myself
my dad sighs and i look at the tv. he's watching gossip girl which is cynthias favorite show
"how's cynthia" i ask my dad, cynthia left to texas to check up on her family
"good, i'm leaving tonight" my dad tells me
"tonight!" my eyes widen
he chuckles, "yea"
"and you're telling me now? i thought your leaving in a few more days" i close my book
"surprise" my dad smiles, "plane tickets were only available right now"
"dad! and you want me to go to lily's when it's your last day?" i furrow my brows
"i'll be back in a month, you're old enough to stay home alone right?" my dad teases and i roll my eyes, "and since when did you want to hang out with me?"
"since i'm now finding out that you're leaving to texas without telling me?"
my dad turns the tv off, "don't worry about me, go to lily's tonight. i'll still be here by the time you come back"
"her party is probably going to end at like 2 in the morning" i remind my dad
"then we can say our goodbyes when you're leaving to her place"
