If The Sun Never Shone, Part Two

Juliette ran over to the resteraunt. She arrived and quickly prepped her hair and added some makeup. She smiled and walked in casually.
Juliette spotted her mother and Hal. Her mother had a disappointed expression on her face. Juliette's head sunk down to her chest. Her smile disappeared.
Juliette's mother covered up her disappointment, "Hal, this is my late daughter Juliette."
"Hi Juliette. I'm Hal. I've heard a whole lot about you." Hal said with a grin.
She knew he was lying. Her mother would never say anything about her. Her mother never cared a lot about her. Juliette's mother probably only regarded Juliette as her daughter when I answered the phone when Hal called.
"Hi Hal. I'm sorry that I arrived late." Juliette said apolgetic.
"Hey your a beautiful teenage girl what can I expect?" Hal winked at her.
He seems nice she told herself. He looked much older than her mother. He was bald and wore glasses. He was dressed in jeans, a T-Shirt and a sports jacket. She was shocked her mother would date someone so casual.
Juliette's mother sighed, "Juliette sit down will you. You'll make a show." Juliette quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.
"So, what do you do Hal?" Juliette asked politely.
Hal smiled at Juliette's mother, "I'm a dentist."
"Wow, thats awesome." Juliette answered.
"Juliette don't you need a dentist appointment? Maybe Hal can check your teeth."
Juliette looked at her mother, "What's wrong with Mr. Parison?"
"Nothing. But, Hal is perfectly certified and closer to check them. Whats wrong with you Juliette?" Juliette's mother asked.
Juliette knew she wasn't concerned. Just worried about herself. And making herself look bad.
"Whatever. Hal can check them or whatever. I don't care." Juliette said sourly.
Hal smiled at Juliette, "How is tomorrow 3:30?"
Juliette's mother answered for her, "That sounds wonderful Hal."
Hal winked at Juliette.

Daisy wiped her tears away. She knew that she couldn't cry. It would fit her reputation. Daisy looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't see any reason that she was brought on the earth.
"Did they need someone to spread bitterness around? Or listen to my parents B.S. If so that is a self-fish reason." Daisy told herself. She walked over to her bed. And turned on the televison.
"Yeah 7th Heaven really describes real issues. Those people have like the perfect family. Stupid show...flicks the channel. Ally McBeal, not realist, life is not that funny. She flips to the next channel. The Weather Channel now this isn't even realist. How the heck do they know what is going to happen tomorrow?" Daisy said with a sigh. She flicked over the televison.
Daisy looks around her room. There is much there. A black lamp, black walls, a desk, a televison, a bed and a closet.
Daisy groaned, "It sucks to be an only child."
Daisy rests her head on her pillow. She shuts her eyes. She suddenly dreams.
--Dream Sequence--
Daisy is in her kitchen. Her dad is yelling at herself and her mother. Daisy gets fed up and grabs the closest object. A frying pan.
"Don't make me do it dad." Daisy says in a angry tone.
--Later in the Dream Sequence--
Daisy is at the hospital for her dad.. She mets a boy that ODed on drugs. He seems nerdy and quiet. But, finds something attractive about him. Something that most teenage boys don't have. A certain charm maybe.
"So whats your name.." Daisy asks the guy in the cafeteria.
"Its..."
Daisy wakes up. She is breathing heavily. A cold sweat comes over her. That had never happened to her before.
"That was totally weird." Daisy said with amazment.
