I really appreciate it…

Kelly always wishes for her dad to trust her at times. He was uptight and never trusts her. She wanted so much to grow up and to just be free. But she has to be careful it what she wishes for because she might just get it...the hard way because her dad has a dark secret that will truly break her heart

The Truth

"Do you believe?"

"Kelly,"

The blonde turned to her father. "What?" She wasn't in the mood to fight right now. "Don't be late, I need to talk with you later." Daniel waited for his daughter to nod. But all he got was: "Whatever…"

Kelly was working a part time job at the supermarket and she was replenishing some the shelf with more food. Suddenly, she felt someone nudge her. She turned around and there he was again. She raised an eyebrow and began to refill the other side of the shelf. The guy was still following her.

"Will you quit that?" Kelly asked; obviously annoyed.

"Can I just ask you a question?"

"What do you want Mr. Korklan?"

"You make it sound like I'm old," Evan paused, showing that boyish grin. "I'm just the same age as you are." He reminded. "And your point is?" Kelly asked; struggling with the packs of candy she was putting on the shelf.

"Nothing," Evan paused, resting his hands on the shelf. "I just wanted to know if you believe in love at first sight." Kelly looked at Evan like he was an alien. What a stupid question—Kelly didn't answer as she turned around and took another pack to replenish the shelf.

"No?" Evan asked.

Kelly turned back to Evan and she was surprised to see that he wasn't there. She placed the pack on the shelf and turned around again. She was shocked to see Evan in front of her.

"How about at second sight?"

That prodded a soft giggle from Kelly. Evan grinned. "Hmmm, can be…" He said softly. "Can I know your name?" Evan asked. "Why do I get the feeling that you do this very often?" Kelly asked him. "Oh, so you're also affected by my undeniably good looks huh?"

"Hmm, arrogant and vain…that's negative two points for you…"

"I just want to know your name." Evan said. Kelly smiled and replenished the shelf once again. "My name is Olga." Kelly paused. "Olga Pepperoni…" Kelly held back her laughter. Evan knew that it wasn't Kelly's name. "C'mon," Evan paused, I know that we didn't start out in a good way but I know that Olga is not your name."

Attention all employees please precede to the meeting room. There is a very important matter to be discussed…thank you…

Kelly placed the last pack of candy on the shelf and made her way towards the door on the end to the hall way. "Wait," Evan said. "I still didn't get your name!"

Kelly turned around and looked at Evan, a sly smile forming on her lips. Then, she went inside. She was happy that she didn't tell him her name. Evan scratched his head and a grin formed on his face. He knew that Kelly was different from all the other girls here in Charlotte and he was happy that there is one girl who didn't came after him. To put it to simple, he was into her.

Kelly came back at their house, her dad waiting for her on the porch swing. Kelly was awed, this was the first time that she ever noticed it. Her dad was getting thin. She felt bad thinking that maybe she added the extra weight in her dad's problem. And for the first time in her life, she wanted to just hug her dad.

Daniel looked up and saw Kelly, a smiled coming across his face.—a sad smile to add to that—Kelly sat on the swing next to her dad.

"What'd you wanted to talk about?"

Her dad gave in a very sad smile, he had decided to tell her but now he was having second thoughts, because bringing his problems to his daughter's ruined life will just kill him even more. In the end, Daniel, a forty five year old mane chickened out again...Way to be a father—He told himself. Kelly noticed the far off gaze that her father had on his face—this time she—for the first time—she got worried.

"Dad, is something wrong?"

"I just wanted to know what you wanted for dinner." Daniel said instead. Kelly looked at her dad and she giggled. "You asked me to go home early just to know what I wanted for dinner." Her contagious laugh prodded an infamous chuckle from her father. "Well, you'll never know when I won't be able to cook for you anymore." He said; he knew that he dropped that when he dropped that hint, Kelly will have an idea.

"What do you mean?" Kelly asked. Instead of answering, Daniel pulled his daughter closer and hugged her. Kelly returned the hug with tightness and made her father wince. She knew that somehow, she had hurt her father. She disregarded it immediately as it came. Part of her wanted to cry because she knew that her dad wasn't telling her something important—something scary—something that she may never bear with.

"So you still didn't tell me what you wanted for dinner," he paused, kissing the top of Kelly's head. "What'll it be?" He asked.

"Steak!"

Daniel chuckled. He wondered, when will he ever have the guts to tell her the truth…or will he ever tell her? What if she'll take it in a bad way? What will he say to comfort her? He had about four months left to live and yet, he seemed scared…because the sudden realization that he'll never see his daughter get her diploma…got to college…graduate…and especially walk her down the aisle made he speculate that he is not a good enough father and made him wish that he could turn back the clock and change everything…but he knew that if he did, he can take the sadness away but that also means that the happiness will also be gone…
