A YOUNG LOVE STORY
Chapter 10 "Help me"
Sam's point of View
I had just come out of the school, when I saw my dad's car stopping near the entrance of the school. I help up my hand so he could see me while I started walking toward him.
"Hi dad "I said, as I get into the car
"Hi, son "Daniel said "how was your day"
"Fine" I said
My dad turned on the engine and started driving from the school towards our house. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened today. How things could change in a matter of hours. Yesterday morning Joanna and I were just friends. Yesterday evening after the movie we were boyfriend and girlfriend. And now because of what happened with her dad we had to pretend we are still friends.
I was so into my though that I didn't realize that the car had just stopped.
"Sam, Sam" Daniel, said a few times until I heard him
"Yeah, dad?" I said
"Something is bothering you?" Daniel said "Something happened at school?"
"Yeah" I said
"Is it about Joanna? Did you too have a fight or something?" Daniel asked
"Yes and no" I said, answering his two questions
"What?"Daniel said,
"YES, it is about Joanna, and NO, we didn't have a fight" I explained
"Then, what it is?"I said
"I'll tell you, but could we get into the house first?" I said
"Of course" Daniel said getting out of the car
A few moments later, we get into the house, and after leaving all the things in my bedroom I went downstairs to the living room where my dad was already sitting in the sofa.
"Well, I need your advice about something that had happened" I said
My dad misunderstood me, and before we could said anything I said.
"Dad! It's nothing like that,ok?" I said "just listen first and then I need you to give me your opinion"
My dad nodded, and I started telling him everything.
"Well, this morning Jessica told me" I said
"Who is Jessica? " Daniel said
"Jessica and Angela are Joanna's best friends" I said
"Oh, ok" Daniel said "go on"
"As I was saying, this morning Jessica told me that yesterday when Joanna got into her house she starts talking to her mum about what happened at the movies, you with me and her kissing" I said
"Yeah, I know that part" Daniel said " aaaand "
"Well it looks like her dad were near them and heard it too and he didn't like it" I said ", because he got really angry about her daughter making out in the movies"
"Well, it's her daughter, you can't blame him to react like that" Daniel said
"Yeah, but the worst part is that he had grounded her for two weeks and had threaten her that if he sees us together , she will be ground her more weeks, don't you think it's unfair?"
"Yeah, I mean, I understand that he was being overprotective with her daughter but what I think it's unfair it's that he had forbidden her to see you assuming the you are a bad boy because of what happened at the movies"
"Thank you" I said, seeing that my dad finally understood me" so, could you help me?"
"Well" Daniel said "what would you like me to do?"
"I don't know " I said " do you think it's a good idea if you talk to her parents?"
"Do you think that would help?" Daniel said
"Yeah, dad" I said "If you could talk to her parents to give me the chance demonstrate that I'm a good boy, that would be really good"
"Ok, this is what we are going to do" Daniel said "Joanna's parents is going to get her after school, right"
"Yeah, why?" I said
"Well, as I'm going to get you too, and it's a really good chance that we meet, I could talk to them about you"
"Thanks dad" I said, hugging him "that would be great!!!"
"You are welcome" Daniel said", but I don't promise anything so don't be mad at me if it doesn't work,ok?"
"Of course dad" I said " I'm going to send Joanna a message so she knows that we are going to try to talk to her parents
"Ok, son" Daniel said
And I went upstairs to get my mobile phone and send her a message
Joanna's point of View
As I had expected, my parents were already there when I came out of school.
"Hi Joanna" My mum said as I get into the car" how was your day?"
"Good" I said, smiling think about what we had talk at lunch
" I hope you had done what I told you " My dad said
"Of course dad" I said " I spent all the day with Angel a and Jessica, even at lunch" 'Which is true' I though
"I'm happy to hear that" My dad said, turn on the car and starts driving to our home
All the way home I was thinking about what Sam said. Would his dad believe him? Would his dad help us? Well really hope so.
When I got home, I said
"Well I'm going to my room" I said "I had some homework to do, and I want to finish it as soon as I can"
"That's great, sweetheart" my dad said
I smiled at him and run upstairs to my bedroom. As I went into it, I closed the door, left my books on my bed and get my mobile phone.
I had a feeling that Sam was going to contact me as soon as he talks with his dad, so I left my mobile on the desk table near me and started to do some homework as I wait.
Several minutes later, my mobile rang indicating that someone's had send me a message, and when I took my mobile phone I was happy to see that it was from Sam.
"Joanna. Good news. My dad is on our side. Make sure your parents are there tomorrow after school so my dad has the chance to talk to them. I love you. Sam"
I had to read it several time to make sure that I hadn't misread it. I couldn't believe. Sam's dad was going to help us to be together.
I quickly send him a response to let him now that I had read it.
"Sam. I'm really happy to hear that. Tell your dad thank you. I'll figure it out a way to make my parents wait so our parents can meet. I love you too. Joanna"
I send it. I was so happy that I did my homework quicker than I thought so I climbed to my bed and listen some music while I thought about Sam and that I couldn't wait to kiss him again.
Sam's point of View
After I sent her the message to tell her what my dad and I had agreed to do tomorrow I take some books and started to do some homework. I hope that she had had time to get home so she has not a problem with her dad about it.
I had just started to do some exercise when my mobile phone rang and I saw that Joanna had sent me another message in response.
After I read it, I was happy to know that she had already get home because she doesn't seem nervous.
I went downstairs to tell my dad the good news
"Dad!!!" I said
"What's up, son?" my dad said
"Joanna has text me back saying that she agrees and that she will try to make her parents wait so you can meet "
"That's great news, isn't it? My dad said
"And she already told me to thank you for your help" I said, smiling
"That's really nice of her" my dad said "you two made a great couple"
"Yeah, I hope that her parents see that too soon"
"Don't worry son" my dad said "they will soon"
I spent the rest of the evening doing some homework until it was time to have dinner. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I really hope that this will get better for Joanna and me, and that her parents, will understand that we really love each other and that we just wanted to be together.
The next morning my dad entered into my room to wake me up.
"Good morning son" Daniel said
"Good morning dad" I said
"Are you ready for school?" Daniel said
"Yeah " I said
"You are still thinking about Joanna, aren't you?" Daniel said
"Yeah, how could I not " I said" she is my girlfriend, no matter what her dad said"
"I understand that, son" Danield said ", and don't worry I'm sure that things will get back to normal soon"
"I really hope so" I said ", I hope that they really listen to you and they understand that Joanna and I just want to be together"
"I know that" Daniel said", and I'll do my best to make that happen"
"Thanks, dad " I said, hugging him
"Well, time to have breakfast" my dad said ", so go brush your teeth and go downstairs when you have put your school clothes on, ok?"
"Yeah, dad" I said
I wonder how is Joanna's doing with her parents
Joanna's point of View
I wake up when I hear my mum entering into my room.
"Good morning, sweetie " my mum said
"Good morning, mum" I said, smiling
"How did you sleep?" my mum
"Really great" I said, smiling
"You are really happy this morning" my mum said
"Yeah " I said ", I'm going to tell you something but you can't say it to dad ok?"I said
"Of course, sweetie, you know you can tell me anything "my mum, said understanding that was a girl thing
"Well, the thing is" I said" that Sam had convinced his dad to stay after school so he can talk to dad about giving Sam a chance to explain"
"Are you serious, sweetie?" my mum, not believing what she had just heard
"Yeah, so I was going to ask you" I said "if you can help me when Sam's dad talk to dad?"
"Well, sweetie, I don't know…"my mum said
"Please, please, mum, you have to help me!!!" I said, begging my mum to help me
"Do you really like him?" my mum
"Yeah, mum, I like him a lot" I said, smiling while thinking about Sam
"Well, in that case I'll try to help you" my mum said
"Thanks mum" I said, hugging her
"But I don't promise anything, so don't blame me if things don't work out, ok?"
"Of course, mum" I said "I only wanted you to know"
"Ok, sweetie " my mum " well go brush your teeth and put your school clothes on while I prepare your breakfast, ok?"
"Yeah, sure mum" I said, smiling
I ran into my bathroom to brush my teeth, still thinking about Sam and that I couldn't wait to see him again. And if things go well, I could kiss him again before this day was over.
