Friends? Or lovers?

Pt.29 the book

Y/n pov

After yesterday I went home and Phillips wasn't home yet and dad wasn't there as per usual.

I made my self some food then went to my room

I was looking through my old stuff in my closet when I saw it

It was a moving box I had forgotten about it completely

I picked it up and moved it to the middle of my room

I slowly opened the box realizing what it was for

It was everything I had that either reminded me of my mom or that she had given me before she passed

I took out everything looking at the individual items

There was a couple flannels a hat, a few stuffed animals, some books I'd gotten from Christmas and birthdays, a small photo album and a bunch of other items

One thing stood out to me though it was a notebook

The cover was plain black with a piece or card stock taped to the front saying "y/n for whenever you want help"
I opened it up to the front page

There was a bunch different things written on each line

The first I read was at the bottom it said 'when you get you first boyfriend' then the page number pg. 70

I turn flipping through the pages till I land on page 70

Dear, y/n
I hope I'm still their with you to see you get your first boyfriend
I also hope you don't have one till your 20 but if you do get it before then and I'm not there I want you to have this advice
1.make sure he treats you right and he is kind to you
2. Make sure you know him well enough to know his family
3.if he ever EVER hits you run the other way never stay
4.if he is a gentlemen you know pulls out your chair,opens the door for you,gives you his jacket when your cold he's a keeper don't lose him
5.if he makes you happy then don't let him go let him be everything to you
6.make him your bestfriend someone you enjoy being around and you can't wait to talk to them
7.if he remembers your birthday and anniversary (unlike your father) then he's also a keeper
8.don't let your dad scare him off I mean I will try to get him to be less scary but you know dad
9.on your first date don't dress to fancy or to casual (I have a dress for you)
Also I really do hope I will be there for the special day when you go on your first date. I also hope you meet the right guy And just know that I already know you like Benny, I think he's a sweet boy and if I wanted you to date anybody I would say you should date him. I love you y/n never forget that.
                                            Love mom

I was now on my bed and I almost started crying

I put everything back in the box except for the notebook a flannel and a really pretty dress

Ok so y'all remember that red dress from the first date well I'm going to make that the dress that y/n moms gave her but yeah so pretend we never saw it at the store :)

I picked up the box and placed it back in my closet then looked at the dress which was laying on my bed

And after a little while of looking at it I decided to try it on

So I took off my clothes then slipped the dress on It fit perfect and it was a gorgeous dress

As I was tugging making sure the dress was on right I heard a knock at my door then saw in the mirror my dad walking in

"Hey y/n I was ord-" then he stopped staring at me

"Hey dad" I say turning to see his face

"Where did you find that dress?" He looked like I was wearing something of moms

"Oh it was in a box of stuff that mom gave me before she died" I said pointing to the box

"Your mom wore that on our first date you know" he responded not even glancing at where I was pointing

"She she always loved that dress and I had never known that she kept it for this long" he continued

"Oh.." I was shocked and I felt guilty for some reason

"Uh she gave it saying I should wear it on my first date I didn't know she wore it on yours" I say

"Well I think it looks great on you hunny you look just like your mom" my dad says

I feel like I need to change the subject or he will start breaking down "so what were you going to ask we're you going to order food or something" I question

"Oh yeah I was going to order some pizza and I wanted to know what type you wanted" he responds

"Just cheese thanks dad" I say smiling

He nods then walks out of my room closing my door

I look at myself once again in the mirror smiling to myself then change back into some pjs

I hang the dress up in my closet then lay down on my bed and continue reading more of the notebook that mom gave me

"Y/n! Foods here!" My dad yells after I don't even know how long

"Ok I'm coming!" I yell back I finish my page then go downstairs

I grab a few slices of pizza and put them on my plate then sit at the table

Me and my dad eat our dinner in comfortable silence

After I finish dinner I head to my room and climb into bed closing my eyes I soon fell asleep
