Letting Go.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I am ending my past stories on here and starting a new one. I am mainly ending the other stories because of lack of inspiration and no feedback. Hopefully you guys will like this one and it can be here to stay.

I am driving up to Berkeley to pick up my daughter and spend Spring Break with here. The first week we will be going on a road trip and as for the second week, she will be staying with me at home down in Santa Monica.

I glance at her picture on the background of my phone and take in her green eyes. Her mother's eyes were green, Selena. I guess I should tell you the story about my life before I continue into the present.

When I was 18, Joe my older brother, thought that I should ditch staying in every night to study and go to one of his college parties. I protested and insisted that I had to study for a Physics exam the following day but he ignored my pleas and took me anyway. At the party I met Selena, who I happened to go to school with. Lets just say that several of beer cans and hours later I woke up in a bed next to Selena. And within month Selena dropped the news to me that she was pregnant and she was keeping it. There was so many things going through my mind when she told me that: Now I'll never get through college, I lost my virginity to a stranger, and I'm too young to be a father

Well anyway, months later she went through labor and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Unfortunately, Selena didn't make it and died to excessive loss of blood. Since then I vowed to never drink again. That was my first and last time that I have consumed alcohol.

So here I am, 18 years later and 36 years old. Isabelle my daughter is in her first year of college. Hopefully this Spring Break will be great, judging on how I never take time off from work. I'm the CEO of a company and think it's unnecessary to ever miss work unless something excruciating drastic has happened.

But now I am pulling into the hotel parking lot and texted Isaballe my room number so she can meet me here. I barely set my duffel bag on the ground when I heard several knocks on the door. I barely opened the door when arms swung around my arms.

"Dad I missed you!" I pushed my glasses up the bridge of my nose and wrapped my arms around her waist returning the hug.

"Belle, I missed you too.." I let her on the ground. "So are you ready to take off on our trip tomorrow? I stuffed my hands in my pocket and couldn't keep the grin off my face."

"About that..you see...dad."

"Oh no, what happened?"

"Well it's not bad, I think. I was telling my friend about our trip and she told me that her parents are working over the break...and I was wondering if she could come with us?"

I took a deep breath, "I thought it was just going to be just me and you sweetie. But that's fine if she co-"

"Thanks dad! Come in Miley, he said yes!" And that's when I first laid my eyes on her. I took in her crystal clear blue eyes and long brown her cascading down her back.

"Hello Mr. Jonas, I'm Miley, Isabelle's roommate."

"Hello Miley, just call me Nick. Mr. Jonas makes me feel older than I already am." I chuckled a little and looked at Isabelle. "Well make sure both of you are packed for two weeks. And I was hoping to go out to get something to eat in a few so you two get ready for that. Dinner's on me tonight."

"Mr. Jon-, I mean Nick, how much money should be necessary for the trip. Because I was planning on texting my parents the amount so they can send it to my bank account?"

"Don't worry about it Miley, the trip is on me."

"Miley let's head back to get ready and started packing before we head back here." Isabelle gave me a peck on the cheek and went down the hall to call for the elevator.

"Thank you Mr. Jonas, but I am going to have my parents put as much money as they can although it might be difficult for them." She started to walk away and I grabbed her hand, feeling sparks going through me.

"Miley, don't worry about it, it's on me." I don't know what came over me but I kissed her hand and let it go.

"Thank you." She blushed and covered her hand over her mouth before she ran out of the room to catch up with Isabelle. What an interesting Spring Break this will be...
