Chapter 6: "Leave it all To Me"
JOLIE'S POV--
You know, it's always been crazy. If it isn't tottaly wild, it's not my life. But you know what, I'd much rather have life be a crazed pit than a boring hole.You know, my mom and I...we bake together. We also throw that cake around together and then we EAT it together. We are absolute maniacs and proud.
I think that if my father had not left and if my mom had told him about me...we would've maybe been a bit more sane. I think maybe he was the responsible one in our family. Our small yet tottaly out of this world family.
I know I always rag on about my dad, but can I help it? I don't hate him, not at all. I just wish he were here sometimes...
I always asked questions about him when I was younger but now it's like well he's gone and he might as well be gone. I used sit on my bed and pray to God that he would somehow come back, I would pray so hard, that now I've begun to lost hope.
When I went to school, I used to see all my friends' fathers come and pick them up from school and give them so much hugs. What I would've given for a hug from my father. But I never knew so...I can't really...
It's hard, beleive me, while everyone else is the world celebrates Father's Day, while everyone else in the world celebrates another birthday for their father I'm stuck with nothing.
Nothing and it's not even my fault.
I didn't ask to be here you know, I didn't ask for this. I was merely blown here by the winds of chance. I never wanted this.
"Jojo, what if we went to the mall after school?" suggests Heidi, hopefully.
"Yeah, maybe" I say. I'm sort of distracted, trying to fall asleep desperatly in my French class. Hey I have absolutley NO idea what this crazy teacher is saying. What the heck is 'Parle vozzeezeeee?" It's completely irrational to think that some people out in this world speak this language.
"Jo, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She gives me the look. "Really, I'm alright"
"Okay. Well, maybe we should just go over to your house then.."
"Okay, I think that's better"
Heidi is really nice. It has been 4 months since comming here and it's been great. Heidi is offically one of my best friends. She's going to help me find my dad. I need to see him for some bizzare reason. I feel this push inside of me telling me to go and find him.
I want to know what he looks like. I want to hug him. I can't help these feelings, it's like they've taken over me. I want to pretend not to care but I can't. In the end of the day he is and will always be my father.
Okay so here's the plan:
1) Heidi and I search the yellow pages, or whatever it is that these snail eating people call it, for a name that might ring a bell.
2) We find whoever the name belongs to..which would happen to be my dad.
3) We talk to my dad.
4) We live happily ever after
Yes, this exactly how life is. Yes, life is sooo extremely easy. That was me being sarcastic. Did you seriously think WE were stupid enough to do that?
Yes people! Gather round'! The new 'MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER IN FOUR EASY STEPS!" DVD just came out!
If only life had a rule book or an instructions packet. If only.
Okay so the real plan is...okay so we don't exactly have a plan..But we're working on it! I'm serious!
So you know what? You can just leave it all to me, I'll find a way.

NORMAL POV--
Jolie and Heidi walked into a mall, where they sat down facing each other at the food court. It was quite the scene.
"So, what are we going to do?" asked Heidi. "I'm all for helping you out but...we need a plan"
"I'm working on it, okay!?" Jolie sipped her smoothie.
"Jolie, You can't keep waiting for people to solve problem for you" Heidi also sipped her blueberry smoothie
"I am not!" she said alarmed. She was sort of uncomfortable. Jolie pulled out her laptop.
"What do you want to search first?" asked Jolie quietly munching on a brownie.
"I dunno," then a though crossed her mind. "Mind, if I borrow your laptop?"
"No, not really" Jolie handed her the mini computer.
She signed into her RandomHouse account.
iamnotur.type: I got a new IM.
adamthegeek: What is it?
iamnotur.type: toughfrenchfry
adamthegeek: toughfrenchfry? What are you, food?
iamnotur.type: Yup. add me.
She signed off and signed on to her new one only to find Carly Shay on as well. She put both of them on a buddy chat.
toughfrenchfry: Hey Aunt Carly, Dorkykinns.
icarlyshay: Hey there, Jolie. How's life in PARI!?
adamthegeek: :P
toughfrenchfry: Eh, I live with it.
adamthegeek: Ahah, sure u do.
Jolie scowled at the laptop screen and rolled her eyes. Heidi made her way just next to Jolie so that she could see the chatroom conversation.
"You know Carly Shay?" she asked bewildred.
"Yeah, she's my aunt."
"Your aunt..." she trailed off. "Can you tell her I'm a big fan?"
"Sure"
toughfrenchfry: My friend Heidi is a huge fan of u Aunt Carly.
icarlyshay: Aww. Tell her I say thanks.
adamthegeek: You made a friend! How...sweet.
Jolie rolled her eyes. She could feel him smirking. She just knew he was.
toughfrenchfry: Wipe that smirk off of your face.
She smirked.
adamthegeek: No, why don't you?
toughfrenchfry: I could, but I don't think I will! :P.
"Who is this Adam guy?" asked Heidi
"He is my best friend" she smiled at Heidi.
"Do you always fight like this?"
"Yup" Jolie continued to smile.
icarlyshay: Alright you guys! Stop with the fighting! You guys remind me of Sam and Freddie...geez.
Both Jolie and Heidi froze. Could it be?
toughfrenchfry: Whose Freddie?
adamthegeek: Yeah, whose Freddie. I know Sam is Miss. Puckett but whose Freddie?
Carly froze in front of her computer screen while both Jolie and Heidi were sweating from their palms.
icarlyshay: He was..um...didn't Sam tell you?
toughfrenchfry: Tell me what Aunt Carly?
icarlyshay: It's about time you found out. Don't tell Sam. Freddie Benson is your Dad.
Jolie felt hot tears in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall. Heidi danced around screaming "FINALLY!". Jolie didn't have the strength to type back.
adamthegeek: Jolie? Jo, are you alright?
icarlyshay: I think she's in shock, Adam.
"Do you really think we can find him?" Jolie asked Heidi. Heidi had a huge smile on her face.
"I think we can!"
toughfrenchfry: I'm fine, Adam. It's just..
adamthegeek: Yeah?
toughfrenchfry: I don't know...I haven't..I...
icarlyshay: Lie? Maybe you should sign off and take you're mind off of things.
Jolie pondered on this thought. Maybe she was right. Maybe be she should go get her mind off of things.
If only she could because what she saw next suprised both Jolie and Heidi.
It was like these things had to happen to her. Fate had taken a rough turn.
But this time, Fate wasn't the enemy.
