Julie ran out of the studio and followed her dad back to the house.

"Dad!" She yelled as she walked in the door. "Dad, wait!"

She found him in the kitchen.

"I don't want you going on that tour, Julie," Ray said matter-of-factly when he saw her.

"Dad, it's not what it looks like." She pleaded. "We-"

"He's taking advantage of you and I won't have it!" He exclaimed.

"Dad, he's not! We're in love." She said, thinking back to the time they said I love you for the first time while sitting on the roof of the studio just a few weeks ago and smiling.

"You're not going on that tour!" He said, putting his foot down.

"I'm going, Dad, and I'm an adult, so you can't stop me!" She screamed, running out of the house and out to the studio. She started crying as soon as she got there. Luke walked over to her and held her as she cried.

"What happened?" Luke asked when Julie had finally calmed down enough.

"He told me you were using me and that he didn't want me to go on tour, and I told him I'm an adult and I can do whatever I want, so I'm still going, and I just hate this." She cried.

"Do you want to sleep at my place tonight?" Luke offered.

"Yes, please." She said, tears still running down her face. "I just need to grab some clothes."

She ran back into the house and packed a bag for a few nights, not knowing when she'd be back. She was very careful to avoid her dad while she was there.

When she got back out to the driveway, she found Luke waiting in the car with the engine running. She hopped in the passenger seat and drove off without a word.

Luke felt so bad for Julie. He knew what it was like to fight with a parent over something like this. He ran out when he was seventeen because his parents didn't want him in a rock band. After they got big, he went back home and made up with his parents, but he remembered the pain of fighting with them, and he didn't want her to have to live with that.

Julie stayed at his place for the rest of the three weeks until they left, going back to her dad's once a week to get clothes. She said they hadn't spoken a word to each other in those three weeks, even when she saw him in the house once while she was grabbing clothes.

As much as he loved waking up next to her every morning, he really did want her and her dad to make up. He hated seeing her in pain.

Their album was a huge success when it dropped, and everyone loved Julie and what she added to the band, just as Luke suspected. They practiced every day at the studio for the two weeks before they left, and Luke was very careful to not run into Ray. Julie didn't want to deal with confrontation, and he wanted to make her happy.

The day before they left for the tour, they were having a band meeting in the studio.

"Ok," Luke said, pulling up the itinerary on his phone, Julie looking over his shoulder. "So, we're leaving tomorrow on the bus at nine and getting to Seattle by..."

Julie looked up when Luke stopped talking to see her dad standing in the doorway of the studio.

"Julie, can I talk to you?" He said.

"Yeah, sure." She replied, Luke gave her a reassuring look and squeezed her hand, and she got up and followed her dad into the driveway, closing the door behind her.

Neither of them spoke for a moment. They just stared at the pavement below their feet.

"Did you need something? Because I really need to get back to the meeting." Julie said, finally breaking the awkward silence.

"I just wanted to apologize," Ray said. "after seeing you and Luke together for the past few weeks, I can tell you really love him, so I just wanted you to know that before you left tomorrow."

Julie smiled, unable to produce words to express her gratitude. She just ran over to him and hugged him.

"Thank you, dad." She smiled.

They stood there for a few more minutes before Julie pulled away. "I should get back."

"Ok." He said. "You'll say goodbye before leaving tomorrow?"

"Of course." She replied. She smiled at him one more time before walking back into the studio, where Alex was going over the setlist.

She sat back down next to Luke. "What happened?" He whispered in her ear.

"He apologized." She whispered back, unable to keep the smile off her face. "And he's given us his blessing."

"I'm so happy for you." Luke smiled, kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey, lovebirds," Alex called, getting their attention. "pay attention. Remember, we leave tomorrow."

Julie finished packing that afternoon and spent the night barhopping with Flynn as their big goodbye. Then the next morning, she said goodbye to her Dad and Carlos, and she and Luke helped finish packing the bus with all of their gear from the studio.

Then, they set off.
