Julie had finally told Flynn who she was dating after she and Luke had been together for about a month. They were still keeping it a secret from everyone else, though. They weren't quite ready to tell the world yet.

"How do you think your dad is going to react?" Flynn asked when Julie finally came clean.

"I don't know, but it's not going to be good," Julie admitted. Telling her dad was the ring she was most dreading. Though she was technically an adult and he didn't have any power over her anymore, she still wanted him to approve of her relationship, because she was starting to fall in love with Luke.

"Hey, Julie?" Luke said while they were hanging out together in the studio one day while Luke was writing.

"What up?" She asked, looking up from the homework she was doing. Luke smiled at her when their eyes met. He couldn't help it, she was just so cute. That made her giggle and smile back.

"I was talking to the guys yesterday, and, we were wondering if you wanted to sing with us on our next album," Luke explained.

"Really?" She asked, getting up off the couch and crossing the room to sit next to him on the piano bench.

"Yeah," he smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist. "You have a killer voice and the guys and I thought it would be cool to have a girl sing with us again."

She smiled and put her head down on his shoulder, and he could hear her sniffling.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked her, pushing her hair away from her face and kissing her temple.

"No, nothings wrong." She smiled. "It's just that my mom sang with you guys, and it makes me feel more connected to her."

Luke held her as she sniffled, then something came to mind, "You would probably have to come on our summer tour with us if you're on the album."

"I have no problems with that." She smiled, picking her head up off of his shoulder and pulling him in for a kiss.

Julie got into Flynn's car the next day when she picked her up for their Music Production class.

"Guess what?" She said as she put her seatbelt on.

"What?" Flynn asked, pulling into the street and driving towards their school.

"Luke asked me to sing with the band for their new album!" She exclaimed.

"That's awesome, Julie!" Flynn exclaimed. "Just like your mom."

"Yeah." Julie smiled. "And that's not all. He asked me to go on tour with them this summer, too."

"That's so cool!" Flynn replied. "I'm so jealous. You get to spend an entire summer on the road with your hot boyfriend."

"I know, I'm so excited." Julie smiled. She genuinely couldn't wait for this summer.

"You know that means you have to tell your dad about you and Luke, right?" Flynn pointed out.

"What do you mean?" Julie asked.

"Well," Flynn started as they pulled into a parking space outside the music building, "you're going on a three-month road trip with your boyfriend, and your dad doesn't even know you're dating."

"So? I'm an adult. He doesn't need to be updated on every aspect of my life." Julie complained.

"Julie, you need to tell him," Flynn said. "I know you don't want to because your worried he'll disprove, but you can't tell him that you're dating him. Don't you want him to know?"

"Yeah, I do." Julie sighed.

Flynn turned off the car and got out. "C'mon, were gonna be late."

Julie spent the entire day dreading talking to her dad that afternoon. She wanted to believe that he would be happy for her, but she just wasn't sure.

"Dad?" She called as she walked into the house.

"In the kitchen!" He called, and she went to meet him there.

"Hey," She greeted.

"Hey," he smiled back, hugging her. "How was school?"

"Fine." She replied, putting her backpack down on the floor. "So, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" He asked while grabbing food from the freezer to make for dinner.

"They guys asked me to record some songs with them for their album, and go on tour with them," Julie said, starting with the easy stuff first. She knew he wouldn't have a problem with that. He trusted the band and knew they wouldn't let anything happen to her, even on a tour across the country.

"That's awesome, sweetie!" He replied. "When do you guys leave?"

"June fifteenth." She replied. "Two weeks after the album drops."

"Cool." He replied, preheating the oven.

"There's something else." She tried.

"What is it?" He asked, putting the frozen meal in the oven and setting a timer.

Julie hesitated for a second. She couldn't do it. At least not yet, anyway. "Nevermind, its nothing."

"Are you sure?" He asked, turning to look at her.

"Yeah, I'm sure." She smiled sadly. She could wait a few more days before telling him.

The next month for Julie was a flurry of homework, finals, recording songs for the album, and planning for the tour. She was so glad when graduation finally came so she could stop worrying about school. She wasn't even going to think about job hunting until after the tour. She needed to put all of her focus into that right now.

Julie also never found the right time to tell her dad about her and Luke. As much as she wanted to, she just couldn't. It was too much.

One day, after a band meeting, Luke and Julie were cuddling on the couch in the studio, making out like teenagers during one of the few times they had alone together. The band had been practicing so much for the recording of the album, which they had finally finished the day before, and the tour. The album dropped in a week and they were leaving in three weeks, so they really needed to make sure they were ready.

Luke and Julie were so focused on each other that they didn't hear the studio door open.

"Julie, I-" Ray said as he walked into the studio, his jaw basically on the floor.

"Dad!" Julie exclaimed, jumping off of Luke's lap. "This- I-"

Ray shot a dirty look at Luke, shook his head, and walked away. Luke knew this wasn't going to end well.
