Chapter 11

Gracie's POV

I woke up very happy the next morning. My dad was sleeping so I decided to wake him up.

I sat on his bed and shook him "Daddy are you going to get up?"

his eyes fluttered opened. "hey baby girl what time is it?"

I looked at the clock. "9am."

he yawned. "how about we go out to break fast?"

"okay." I said very excitedly.

He laughed "well you get changed and we will leave."

I jumped off the bed, grabbed my bag and head into the bathroom. I changed into a tank top and basket ball shorts.

I wanted to put my hair in braids but, I was having trouble with the stupid cast on my left arm. I kept groaning, I was getting frustrated.

Then my dad knocked on the door. "you okay Gracie?"

"I need help."

he walked in. "what's wrong?"

I looked at him through the mirror. "do you know how to braid?"

"yeah, actually I do."

"Really?"

"yeah, Grandma taught me how, because I used braid Aunt Becky's hair all the time."

"okay well I want my hair in two pigtail braids, it's just the stupid cast won't let me." I growled.

He laughed and grabbed the brush.

About 5 minutes later my hair was exactly how I wanted it.

Dad sat the brush down. "how's that?"

"perfect!" I smiled.

"alright, let's get going I'm hungry." I laughed, that's my dad for ya.

We got into the hummer and Dad looked at me. "where do you want to go?"

"um, Bob Evan's sounds good."

"Bob Evan's it is."

about 15 minutes later we got to the restaurant.

We were looking at the menus when out of the blue my dad asked "Hey Gracie, how about we spend the day together."

"that would be sweet, but you have a autograph signing to go to."

"I could call Vince and cancel, then me and you can have the whole day to our self's."

"really?"

"yeah, hang on." he picked up his phone and called Vince. I heard him say thank you and then he hung up.

He looked at me "He said it was okay."

"sweet, so what are we going to do?"

"um, I think I have an idea."

"Dad tell me." I was starting to get whiny, but hey I wanted to know.

"no."

"please."

"no."

"why?"

"because I want it to be a surprise."

"fine." I sighed.

We ate our breakfast and we got back in the hummer. We were on the road for about an hour and I was getting bored, like usual. So I grabbed my phone and texted Scott.

Me:

Scott:

Me:

Scotty:

Me:

Scotty:

Scotty:

Me:

Scotty:

Me:

My dad wants me and him to spend the day together.

Scotty:

Lucky, I wish my dad would do that.

Me:

Lol, yeah my dad is like that.

Scotty:

When can we hang out?, I'm bored.

Me:

Isn't Casey with you?

Scotty:

Yeah but she is getting boring too.

Me:

Ooh I'm going to tell her! :P

Scotty:

You would never!

"Gracie we are here." my dad said, and I looked out the window.

We are in the middle of no where. I seen a little garage and that was it. "um dad where are we?"

"c'mon I'll show ya."

"alright hang on." I grabbed my phone.

Me:

Hey I g2g text u when I'm done with my dad, oh and could tell Dylan why I'm not there?

Scotty:

Sure thing Gracie bear!

Me:

Thanks Scotty Bear! ;)

I shut my phone off and got of the hummer. My dad was already in the garage, so I walked in. I immediately spotted the two four-wheelers.

I was confused "are these yours?"

my dad turned around "Yeah, I thought we could do some driving around."

"that is so awesome!"

"yeah here's a helmet." I put it on and sat on one of them. I was eager to go.

He laughed and came over to me. "alright here's the gas and here's the brake, that's all you really need to know."

"okay let's go!" I said very anxiously.

He laughed and got on his four-wheeler. We took off and went around the fields. It was hard for me to turn because of my cast.

After hours of riding around we decided we were done. It was getting dark so we put them away and got back in the hummer.

My stomach growled. "hey dad could we get something to eat?"

"yeah, does McDonalds sound good?"

"yeah." I yawned.

He pulled into a McDonalds and we got out of the car and walked in. I told him to get me chicken nuggets and fries, and I sat at a table while he ordered.

A little later he came over with the tray. I started eating the French fries when he started up a conversation.

"so I've been thinking."

"that's not good." I said sarcastically.

He laughed "no I'm serious."

"oh okay what about?"

"well it's completely up to you."

"what?" I said getting curious.

"how about you stay home, and go to school?"

"um, how could I with you on the road?"

"I was talking to uncle Nate, and he said he would love to stay with you when I'm gone."

"so you don't want me to go on the road with you?"

"Gracie I love having you on the road with me, it's just I think you should go to school."

"okay, when do I leave?"

"um well school starts next week, so I will drive you to airport tomorrow."

"what?, that early?"

"yeah, don't you want to be able to prepare for school?"

"I guess."

"okay, are you done eating?"

I finished up my last chicken nugget. "yeah."

we drove home in silence, which made me sleepy. I fell asleep, which only felt like a couple of minutes.

My dad opened the door, and I fluttered my eyes open.

He looks down at me "do you want me to carry you?" I nodded.

He lifted me up and carried me to our room. He sat me on the bed, and took my shoes off.

He pulled a blanket over me, and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight My Baby girl."

"Goodnight My Daddy."

he laughed "I love you so much."

"I love you too."
