A/N: Thank you sooooooo much for all the great reviews! I'm glad you all
like my story!
The whole group was laughing and telling stories but Julie just found herself sitting there and taking everything in. In 2 hours, her friends had surprised her and she'd gotten engaged to the man she'd been in love with since her first day with the ducks. The only thing she worried about, was her dad.
Adam kept his arms lovingly around Julie. He had been in heaven since he met her and now it was even better, they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
The party soon came to close as everyone finished cleaning up the mess.
"Bye guys! I'll see ya tomorrow." Julie called as they headed back to Caycee's house. She turned to Adam. "Do we really have to tell him? Can't we just sneak back to Minnesota, I mean he'll never know!" She pleaded with him.
"No. He has to at least be informed the we're getting married." Adam kissed her forehead as the walked to Julie's house. He had his arms wrapped around her shoulders and she snuggled up to his chest. "Don't you want him to be there?"
"No." She whispered under her breath.
"What?"
"It's complicated." Julie sighed. They soon found themselves on Julie's doorstep. 'I guess it's now or never.' She thought.
They walked in; her dad was sitting on the couch reading something.
"Hi dad." Julie said nervously.
"Hey Julie. Did you have a good day?" Chris asked. 'He seems nice.' Adam thought
"Uh, yeah, I did." She looked back at Adam. "Dad, this is Adam."
Chris stood up and shook his hand, "Nice to meet you."
"You too sir."
"Adam and I are getting married." Julie closed her eyes and waited for all hell to break loose.
"WHAT?!!" He shouted. "Over my dead body!" He soon forgot about Adam being in the room, "You'll just get hurt!"
Julie wondered where she got the courage to talk back to him, "Hurt?! What just like you hurt mom?!" She cried.
"What are you talking about?" Chris pointed at her.
"She saw you that night! Right before I did! The car accident was all you fault!" Julie yelled again.
He walked closer to her, "What do you mean she saw me?"
"You didn't see her! You were too busy banging the girl form the corner to even notice! She died because of you!" Julie wished she hadn't said that.
"Now you shut your mouth you little bitch!" Chris went hit her, but Adam had seen and heard enough and jumped in. He pulled Julie out of the way.
"Don't touch her!" Adam yelled through clenched teeth.
"What are you gonna do about it, boy?"
"THIS!" Adam punched Chris hard enough to knock him out. He grabbed Julie's hand and pulled her out the door.
"Now do you see why I didn't want to tell him?" Julie said, crying. Adam finally knew why she'd never gone home, and he hated it. Adam pulled her into his warm embrace.
"Don't worry about him. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is going to stop us from being together."
"You mean that?" She asked from his chest.
"Yep. Come on, let's go to Caycee's house. We leave in the morning." The walked hand in hand the three blocks to Caycee's house.
