She must never know chapter 2
The early morning sun was peaking through her silk translucent curtain. Her father quietly snuck into her room. It was Juliet's first day of school so she wasn't used to waking up this early.
"GOOD MORNING" he shouted shocking her from her slumber.
"What was that for?" She questioned angrily still slightly in her hazy slumber.
"You needed to get up and now you are up, I think my method was rather effective." Juliet rolled her eyes at his constant antics. "You should get ready we're leaving in an hour."
"Yeah sure, I'll get right on that." She said in her classic sarcastic tone. "Leaving for what exactly?"
"School, it's your first day remember."
"Oh right that yay" she said unenthusiastically.
"What's the matter? I thought you were excited to start school."
"I'm just a bit nervous," she admitted ashamedly.
"About what?"
"It's just I've never been away from you for more than an hour or two. What if something happens to me while I'm there?"
"I promise I will never let anything happen to you." He rapped his daughter in a warm comforting embrace. "Now you should get ready."
"Yes daddy." She responded still slightly uneasy.
"Well daddy, what do you think?" Juliet had just run down the marble staircase in her new pink dress with her curly brown hair tied back with a purple and white ribbon.
Her father's mouth gawked open. 'She looks heavenly just like her' he thought to himself. He shook his head trying to regain his composure. "You look lovely dear" he replied choking back his 'liquid pride'. "We should get going, wouldn't want you to be late for your first day of school."
After a seemingly never ending car ride they arrived at CHS Juliet nervously stepped out of the black '67 Impala. This was her first time leaving their estate in years, it was like being in a foreign country. "Good bye daddy, I'll see you after school." She called back to her father.
"Good bye dear I'll miss you." As he watched his daughter walk towards the school. He couldn't help but shed a tear. His little girl the only person in his life was growing up and away from him. A familiar song began to play on the car stereo. He sang along.
"Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures?
The places I had planned for us to go
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile"
He got so caught up in the song he didn't realize he was blocking traffic. "Hey buddy would you move it." A gruff voice called from behind.
"oopsy doopsy." He took off towards the highway and when no one was around he snapped his fingers and him and the car disappeared into thin air.
