So I hope that I did pretty good with this chapter. I'm simply going on the few episodes of "Cheers" and "Frasier" that I've seen. If I mess up some major points, feel free to put it in a review or message me, but don't be too hard on me.
Prologue
As the clock struck midnight, I quietly slipped out of bed. I pulled my suitcase out from underneath my bed and slipped out into the hallway. I went quickly, but paused when I came to my mother's room. I knew that I needed to leave before I lost my nerve, and that Diane was waiting for me at the end of the driveway.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
Even though she kept one of the biggest secrets of my life from me, I still loved her. I don't know why she did it, but I'm sure she had her reasons. There's no way that she didn't spend hours or even days balancing all of the possible consequences. But, now it was my turn. I had to know the truth.
I left quickly, but quietly, and met Diane at the end of the driveway.
"Thank you so much, Aunt Di." I said as I got in.
"Analeigh Sternin, I don't know how I let you talk me into this." She sighed as she pulled out.
"All I'm asking is for you to take me to the airport." I reminded her. " That reminds me, you have my ticket, right?"
"Yeah it's in my purse." I reached in her purse and found my ticket, but there was an extra.
"Why are there two?"
"Did you really think I was going to send you across the country alone?" She asked. "Analeigh, you're only fifteen. And I'm not questioning your capability, but San Francisco is a big city and you need to be chaperoned. Lilith is probably going to have my head when she finds out that I helped you, and I don't want to know what she'd do to me if you got hurt."
I guess she was right. To be honest, I was glad that she was coming with me. I don't think I'll want to be alone when I meet my father.
