My eyes scanned through the pages of my torn up Romeo and Juliet paperback. No matter how much I read it, I couldn't get bored of it. It was the first project I had in Degrassi, and yet it was when I had my first kiss with Clare Edwards. My eyes rolled, what was with me? Why in hell was I thinking about her so much. I had a fiancé back in New York, the least I could do was not think of another girl. I heard Cece talking on the phone in the other room, "Hi Darcy…"
My body froze. Darcy. Darcy Edwards? The older sister of Clare, last time I knew of her I thought she was in Kenya. I listened intently to her conversation. "Is she okay? I could drop off some soup for her later, I'm making it right now. Please tell her that I won't be able to look after him this weekend…Bull-Frog is starting to come up with something and I don't want to take a chance to get him sick too. Tell him that I love and miss him though," she said.
I leaned back in my seat, my eyebrows rose. Was this the same person that we were thinking of right now? I heard the doorbell ring and stood up to answer it.
I opened the door and was unable to hide my surprise to see who it was, "Alli?" I asked.
She nodded her head, "Goldsworthy. It really is you, "she said.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just driving through the neighborhood and decided to see if the rumors were true," she said. It was still high school wasn't it.
Cece walked in with a paper bag, "Oh Alli. Can you drop by and give this to Darcy," she asked.
"Sure, I'll stop over" she said.
I watched the two of them, what had I missed all these years? My forehead crinkled with confusion, Alli cleared throat catching my attention. "Jenna's daughter is having a birthday party, so I was wondering if you'd want to go."
"Why would I go to a little children's party?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes, "You just got here, you should probably catch up on some things before you left."
My eyebrows rose, "Like what?"
She bit her lip nervously, her eyes shifting away from mine. "It's not my story to tell. I have to go anyways, but here's the address to place," she said handing me a piece of paper before walking away from the house.
My mind raced at her words, catch up on some things.
Maybe she was right. I looked down at the piece of paper, sighing I reached for the keys to hearse and walked out closing the door behind me.

"Here you go Jaime," I said as I handed her the gift. She smiled at me saying a quick 'thank you' before running off to play with other kids at the party. Everyone seemed to watch and whisper behind me as I walked around the backyard by myself. The other kids ran around screaming playing tag while I just watched them.
I looked around to see and saw that Uncle Adam disappeared; I walked back inside the house to look for cake and heard people yelling in the front porch.
"What the hell do you think doing here you idiot? After what you did who do you think you are coming here," I heard someone yell.
I walked slowly to front door to see Uncle Adam, Aunt Alli was there too with a man with dark brown hair and green eyes. The corner of my lip twitched up immediately knowing who he was.
My daddy. Mommy had pictures of him inside her room where I wasn't supposed to look. Sometimes at night, I would even hear her cry when she thought I was asleep. "I-I don't know. I just needed to see…what happened after I left," he said, his voice growing into a whisper.
Uncle Adam shook his head, "Well that's not my story to tell," as he stomped away with Aunt Alli behind him.
His head fell into his hands, I stood there watching him for a while. This was the first time I get to meet my daddy. I opened the front door and walked out, his head snapped up and his eyes grew wide with shock when he saw me. "Uhm, hi there buddy," he said.
"Hi," I spoke a bit timidly taking another step closer to him.
A chuckle escaped his lips, "What's your name?"
"Edan Munro. What's yours?" I asked curiously.
"That's a pretty cool name. My name is Eli, it's nice to meet you. How old are you?" He said stretching his hand out towards me.
I took his hand and saw how big his was compared to mine, "I'm three years old, I'm turning four soon," I said excitedly.
A smile broke out on his face, the same smile that I had and his eyes shown with pride. "That's awesome! Your going to be a big boy then, aren't you?" He said proudly.
"Yeah," I said. Just then I heard Uncle Adam call my name, I looked at him sadly.
"It looks like you have to go, it was nice to meet you Edan Munro." I nodded my head in agreement and headed back inside the house.
Shock and happiness welled up inside me.
I got to meet my daddy!
Tell me what you think.
