Chapter 2: Secret Crush

I ran all the way home, passing my friends. They called my name, but I kept running as fast as my legs could go.

My 11 year old sister Sky was running around the front yard absentmindedly when I got there. "Hey Cecilia!" She said, but I didn't say anything back, for the fear of yelling out that Jaxon had kissed me.

I ran through the front door, through the living room, and into the kitchen, where my mother usually was when I got home. She wasn't there, so I ran to my dad's study, where he was literally always there.

"Good afternoon, Cecilia. How are you?" Dad said when I came through the study doors. He was looking down at some papers, so he didn't see my expression. "Daddy," I whispered, out of breath. He looked up, knowing something was wrong by the way I said daddy.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?" "Jaxon, Jaxon… JAXON GRAINGER KISSED ME WHEN HE KNEW I WAS GOING OUT WITH COLLIN!" I was so sad, I cried right there in the doorway of dad's study.

"Oh, Cecilia," He got up and came over to me. He put his arms around me and hugged me tightly while I cried.

"I'm sorry daddy, I'm getting your shirt wet with tears," I said, still crying, but not as bad. "Oh, it's okay dear. Cry as long as you need too."

I cried with Dad for 3 minutes it felt like 30 minutes.

When my tears started to come to an end, dad let go of me and pointed to the couch he had in there. "Sit, Cecilia. I want to know everything, darling."

I explained to dad everything that happened that afternoon; the note, the auditorium, and, of course, the devilish kiss.

When I was done, I started to cry again. Not as bad, but still loud enough for my 3 younger sisters to come in and be their curious young selves. "You're too young to understand," Dad said for me, since I couldn't stop the tears. They left the room, still very curious.

When I was done crying, I got up and started to leave. "Do you want me to tell mom myself, or would you like too?" He asked. "Will you?" I asked back. He shook his head yes, then said, "I love you, Cecilia." "I love you too, dad." I walked out of the room, still very much tearful.

I fell asleep in my room crying, listening to "Love Story" By Taylor Swift over and over again. I woke up at 6:00 p.m., with Mom sitting on the edge of my bed. "Did Dad tell you, Mom?" I asked. "Yes darling. He did." Right then, I started to cry again.

I cried with her for 10 minutes. "Mom," I said as my tears started to fade away. "Should I tell Collin about… the kiss?" She thought for a moment, then said, "Let your heart tell you what's right." (BING!) "Oh, dinner needs to be cooked. I'm gonna go fix dinner. I love you, Cecilia." She got up and left the room.

I got up from my bed and changed into a fluffy pink nightgown that dragged down on the floor. After that, I got on my computer to see if any of my friends were on I.M. Sure enough, they all were.

I shut down my computer, then fell asleep on my bed, half crying, half laughing at how Lauren said "Crap him".
