It was you

Chapter 1

My father is a very I guess you can say fancy man. Nathaniel Locks with black hair that is graying more and more each day. My hair looks more like my grandma's at least that's what dad says. It's not blonde like moms but it's not black like dads, it's in between. As I walk home from school I look at all my music before me. A band geek at heart I guess you can say. I play the piano for our school choir and sing a little too, almost running into Caleb was almost a little too risky for me. I run up the stairs to my room as I practice my heart out. Glancing every now and then to see if dad has pulled up in the driveway yet. Lilly my older sister lives with us, she kinda got into some trouble with "lover boy" and had to move in with us but I'm not complaining. It sometimes sucks being the only girl here. Dad always has his employees here watching football or working on actual work.
I touch them piano keys lightly before playing singing a quick melody.
"You are the one.., you sing me the song of how I chose this love..." I take a breath and starts again
"I told you I'm sorry and you took it along oh how I've loved you for so long. Oh I still love you more than you'll ever know." I step away from the piano and run down the stairs, grabbing dad and giving him a hug.
"Dad!" I give him a hug though he is busy working on his phone.
"Hey pumpkin, how was school?" He asks as he sits on the couch turn off his phone.
"Oh you know, same old same old." He shrugs as the maid Mandy gets him a cold glass of tea.
"Thanks Dear." He states before turning on the television. I sit in the chair beside the fireplace. Glancing at the tv and back at dad.
"So I was thinking.., maybe we can go to the city this weekend and go shopping." I state waiting for a reply
"I don't know, I having a few of my buddies over. Go to a friends house if you want too. He glances down at his watch then back up at me.
"You okay?" I shake my head yes before walking outside for a breath of fresh air. Lilly sitting on the porch too.
"You okay kid?" She asks me as she holds her water bottle in her lap.
"I'm fine, I just wish things could be different." She shakes her head in confusion staring at me.
"What do you mean?"
"I want dad to be happy, maybe even like do stuff with us, you know? He is always with his work buddies." Lilly shrugs as she is glued to her phone like always.
"Listen dad is dad, he is getting old Catherine. I mean you don't expect him to go sky diving do you?" I laugh at her stupid comment and go back inside. She is no help at all, dad is getting old but he can still have fun, he still works out and makes pancakes on Sunday mornings. I grab my phone and text my best friend Savannah.
"We need to get out some more!" I text her.
"Wanna go to a party?"
"Yes!!!"
I give her call making plans, a party at 11:00 pm on Friday night, this may be the best day of my life I thought. I shove my phone in my purse and fall against the couch. I finally will be going to a high school party!
