For The Love of A Daughter

Chapter 9

Tonight John and I are going to this festival. It's this one last big thing that is fun, before we all go back to school. At the end of the night all of the seniors are going down to the beach for a fire. It should be a good night, but I have a bad feeling. John has been acting weird all day, but hopefully things will be better tonight.

"Are you ready for tonight?" Mom asked.

"Yea I guess, but John is acting weird."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know it's like he is trying to avoid something. He hasn't really said anything."

"Did you talk to him about it?"

"He won't talk about it. I'm going to try again tonight."

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

It was time to go and John on his on his way. I went downstairs and my dad was sitting in his chair. I went over and sat on the couch.

"Everything okay?"

"Yea."

"Okay, well you guys have fun tonight."

"Thanks."

I heard John honk the horn outside, I got going over to the door. When I went outside I could see John's face through the window, he didn't look too happy. I walked over and got in, buckling up. He turned to me and leaned in, so I leaned in and pressed our lips together. The kiss was short and sweet. I'm actually surprised he kissed me. He took my hand, I squeezed his trying to get him to relax a little bit.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Tomorrow we can talk about it."

"Okay." I sighed.

"Tonight I don't you to be away from me. You can be around Kylie, but stay close to me."

"Why?"

"Please just do it, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"What are talking about?"

"Just listen to me, I'll tell you later."

"John, please just talk to me. Is something going to happen?" I hissed.

"Don't worry about it. Everything is going to be fine."

"No, everything is not fine. Something is going on and you won't tell me."

"Just drop it."

"Take me home."

I pulled my hand away, as he kept driving toward the beach. Of course he won't take me home. If he was really trying to protect me then he should take me home. Since he's acting like this I'm just going to go with Kylie when we get there. As soon as we got there I got out and went to look for Kylie. I could feel him walking behind me. It was like we were racing to get to Kylie. I wonder if she knows what is going on.

"Kylie." I yelled.

Finally, I found her and gave her a hug right away. John came up right next to me then left.

"What was that?"

"I don't know. He won't talk to me. Something is going to happen tonight, I have to stay close to you or him."

"Why?" She frowned.

"That's the thing, I don't know."

"He didn't tell you?"

"Nope. He told me just to drop it."

"Weird."
