Being Josh Ramsay's Daughter

You Stood Me Up

I woke up, fazed that I had finally met my mother. She had invited me into her home and we talked for 2 hours. I sang for her. She apologized for leaving us.

"Daddy." I called as I got up the stairs.

"Cadi." Dad said from the living room.

"She asked about you last night." I said, sitting on the couch beside him.

"Oh yeah? What'd ya say?"

"I said you were happy. She left you because of Matt. She thought you guys were together."

"Me and Matt?!" He was shocked.

"Yup. Do you blame her for thinking that?"

"No I guess not. But she could have explained 16 years ago."

"Daddy she's not that bad."

"I know, Cadi, I know."

I got a text from Brad.

"I went to your house last night. No one was home. -Brad"

"Omg I'm so sorry. -Acadia"

"What happened to you? -Brad."

"Come over now. -Acadia"

"Are you gonna be home? -Brad"

"Get your butt over here. -Acadia"

*******

"Cadi, Brad's here!" Dad called from the door.

"Downstairs!" I yelled back.

Brad came downstairs into my room and sat down beside me on my bed.

Brad is the only guy that dad will let me have in my room. But that's only because he's gay. He's such a great friend though.

"So what happened last night?" Brad asked.

"I met my mom."

"YOUR MOM?!!!" Brad was almost as excited as I was.

I told him all about it and he was happy for me.

"As long as that's a true story, I thought you had stood me up." Brad said, sounding hurt.

"No it's true I promise. I'd never do that to you." I pulled out my phone and showed him a selfie I had taken with my mom last night.

"Awe I'm so happy you finally got to meet her." Brad was always sincere about what he said.
