Before You Leave Me - Chapter 16
After a few minutes of convincing Dylan that i got lost while looking for the equipment closest, he bought it and i didn’t have to go on about me seeing Lola. I texted dad to pick me up from the fundraiser. He was a few hours late, i didn’t mind. I needed time to think about everything. I needed time to think about Lola. In the middle of my thoughts dad pulls up alongside the curve i sat at for what seemed like forever.
”Sorry i’m late, it was traffic on the freeway.” dad says, not making eye contact with me.
”It’s no big deal” i say. Which was the truth.
”How was it? i heard good things about all of his fundraisers. Most feel good to have apart in it all.”
”Dad?” I say.
”Yeah bud?”
”Do you think that if you care about someone, it could even be someone you haven’t known that long. Do you think you should fight for that person” I say while looking out the window hoping for sincere advice.
”Well…If it was me. I would. But then again everyone’s different.”
”Yes or no” i say, trying to get to the point.
”Yes. Yes i would.”
Do i even have what it takes to let her know how i feel about her, i think to myself. ….
