Part 2

Liz POV

"Dad?" I said handing him a hammer and a nail.

"Yes Liz?" He said sizing the wall up with measuring tape.

"I don't think anyone listened or cared for my speech today." I responded sighing.

He nearly dropped his hammer, "What are you talking about honey?"

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"They really applauded you out there today, honey." My dad smiled to me, as we framed my diploma.

I hesitated, me and my father talked about everything, "Its just that everyone thinks I'm.... forget it." I had to stop.

"Everyone thinks you're what?" My dad set the frame down and turned to me.

"A priss." I answered whispering.

My dad shook his head laughing, "Liz, in a million years, you could never be a priss." He kissed my cheek.

If that were true than how come I hardly had any friends? Sure, I had friends, I had dates, but I never had a BEST friend, or an actual long lasting BOYFRIEND. All my years of school and the only thing I have to show for it is awards, trophies and certificates. I had no memories of my own. I had no one to share my life with other than my own father. If I was supposedly "Most Likely to Succeed", "Most Popular", "Most Attractive", and "Most Intelligent". Than why wasn't my phone ringing off the hook?

I sat on the couch next to my father's office and sighed. I looked up at the wall to see all my framed achievements lined down the hall. Never in a million years would I get to relive high school and change everything. My time for a social life was now at it's end and the sad thing was.

I never had one.

"Honey would you come in here for a second." My father called from his office.

"Coming." I replied getting up and walking into his office, "What is it dad?" I sat at the edge of his large oak wood desk.

"I have another present for you." He smiled.

"Dad! You shouldn't have! You've already done too much!" I scolded. I hated when he showered me with gifts. I know we were well off but why did my father spoil me?

"Oh nonsense it's your graduation! Here, open this." He handed me a small chest.

I stared down at it on my lap.

The small chest was gold with blue trim, I opened it. There was a small gift-wrapped box inside. I took the box out and tore at the paper; it was a tiny black ring box, "Dad?" I looked to him.

He simply nodded. I opened the box further. "OH MY GOSH!" I screamed. "Dad where did you get this?" I said throwing the box after I had taken the ring out. It was my mother's ring, the ring she used to wear every day of her life. A gold yellow lustrum band with a pink rose in the middle and green leaves. All gold but painted -hand painted, pink and green. "Daddy oh my gosh!!!" I screamed again jumping into his arms.

"I know, it was your mother's. I've been saving it for you for your graduation day." He sighed.

"You miss her don't you?" I said sad.

He nodded, "I'm sorry you never got to know her baby." He kissed my forehead.
