Chapter 1: All I want is everything

Well my name is Destiny, and I want everything. I want the perfect family, the perfect relationship, the perfect friends, the perfect life. But my life is far from perfect. Yeah there are those small yet perfect moments I look forward to in life, like getting a phone call from my father. See when I was 12 my parents got divorced, they said I would understand when i'm older, Which I understand they just fell out of love, I haven't seen my father since then. That is why I look forward to hearing from him, I am a daddy's girl and I will always be. I love my mother very much, But I miss my father everyday.

'Secrets' By One Republic started to play on my phone. I stand up from my bed and grab my phone. "Hey dad" I said with a smile on my face. "Hey sweetie" "Whats up?" I ask while walking to my closet after checking the time. "Nothing, I was just wondering about something" "Oh, what would that be?" "I was wondering if you would like to spend this summer with me." He said, and I dropped my phone. I stumbled to pick it up. "Wait, what." I said expecting him to say he's kidding. "I said, would you like to spend this summer with me?" He asked again. "Yes, I would love to" I said filled with joy.

*****

I spoke to my father for a while after he asked if I wanted to stay with him. Talking about when I should leave, Where he lives, and such. I then got ready to hang out with my best friend Haleigh, like we do every saturday. I grabbed my bag and walked to my car after locking my front door. I drove to Haleigh's apartment in less than 10 minutes, I walk up to her door and pull out my key and open the door. "Haleigh, Im here." I yell to let her know of my presence. I drop my bag near the door, and walk to the kitchen to get a drink. I then sit on her couch waiting for her to finish whatever she is doing.

"Hey Girl." Haleigh said walking into the living room with a hair brush, sitting down next to me. "Hey, guess what?" "What" "Well my dad called, and he asked me something ." "And, what would that be?" "If I wanted to spend the summer with him." "Really, He wants to see you after years of nothing but phone calls, no efforts to see you." She said pointing out reasons I should say no.

"Yeah I know, he hasn't really been there for me and I see that everyday. Maybe he's trying to make a difference now. Maybe he wants to see me but didn't think I wanted to see him, or maybe he thought I would still be mad at him." I said. "Yeah I guess your right, so wait when are you leaving? and where does he live anyways?" She asks while brushing her hair and looking at me. "Well see thats the thing, Im leaving in a week. I know we had plans this summer to have fun and party it up, but this came up. Im gonna ask him if he can fly you over so that we can spend some time over there." "That sounds like a good plan, where does he live?" She asked putting down her hairbrush and giving me all of her attention. "He lives in Lewisville, north carolina."

A/N: I know this sucks compared to my other books, but I just wanted to have a little something in this book. I promise it will get better the more I write, Okay Favorite and Leave comments :D Thanks

Chapter 2: All I want is everything

I spent the last two days spending time with Haleigh and my other friends, saying bye and packing. Currently i'm still packing, "Destiny, hurry up or your gonna miss your flight." My mother Abigail said. "We have a few hours" I said, My mother is the type of person to be early never late. Every time we have to go to the airport we leave hours early because she swears there will be traffic, we always end up waiting an hour for my brother each time. "No we have to leave soon, theres gonna be traffic" typical mom. I finish packing the things I needed from my bathroom and zip up my suitcase, I start taking all of them downstairs. I only have one carry-on and two suitcases, if I need anything ill just buy it over there.

I walk into my kitchen after putting the suitcases by the front door, and grab a bottle of water from the fridge. I turn around to see my mother sitting in the backyard on the phone. I walk over to the sliding door and enjoy the view of our little garden that I maintain. "Honey, it's time to go" My mother says, trying to hold in the tears. I walk over to her and hug her. "I love you mom, I always will. You will be fine without me for a while, just don't forget about the garden." She cracks a smile with a small laugh. "See thats what im gonna miss" I said, making her smile more.

"Okay we better go, don't want to get caught in traffic" Smh. I walk out and bring one of my suitcases while my mom brings another. We load it into the car and start heading to the airport. About 5 hours later my flight lands in greensboro, northcarolina. The nearest airport to Lewisville, I get of off the plane and headover to baggage claim after grabbing my carry on. As im going down the esculator and checking my phone I see my father at the bottom behind all of the havock, of people saying hello and how they missed there loved ones.

I walk over to him trying to weave through the people, and immediately hug him. He hugs me back "I missed you dad." I said first. "I missed you to sweetheart, you have grown a lot I see." He said smiling down at me "Well im not a little girl anymore" I said with humor. "Yeah, but you will always be my little girl" He said while taking my carry-on from me. We then wait for the suitcases to come down the belt.

After my suitcases had came out we grabbed them and headed to valet parking, then we put my bags in his car I hopped into the passanger seat and got comfortable. On the drive home we didnt talk much because I ended up taking a nap, and by the time we got to his house it was turning dark outside. I got out of his car to admire the beautiful huge home, the home was a grey color with beautiful flowers surrounding the porch. I hope I like it here.

Chapter 3: All I want is everything

I helped my father grab my bags after looking at the front yard, we headed to the front door which was some french looking door. We walked in the foyer, and I took a quick skim of the house. To the right is a living room, the left is a hallway and to the right of the hall is the stair case and straight ahead I see a kitchen. "Follow me to your room" said my father smiling at me. As though he's been waiting to say that for a while.

I follow him up the stairs looking at the pictures on the walls, there is a lot of beautiful artworks on the walls that I can't help but smile. We then reach a door at the end of the hall on the left side, he opens the door and let's me in first. I am shocked, the room is beautiful with a twilight grey color on the walls with a white French theme bed to the left of the room. Including a vanity, bookshelf, dresser, closet, personal bathroom, and a small personal patio with French doors.

"Do you like it?" "No, I love it dad." I said turning around and engulfing him in a hug. "I'm glad you love it, I'll leave you to unpack." He said while walking out and closing the door behind him. I then start to unpack my suitcase with clothes and put them in the dresser till I feel like hanging them. I grab my phone and step out onto the patio, texting my mom and calling Haleigh while leaning on the railings.

"Hey sweet cheeks, how was the flight?" Said my energetic Best friend. "Hey babe,the flight was bumpy but pretty good." "We'll I'm glad your safe, how was it seeing your dad for the first time in like forever?" "We'll when I saw him I was happy on the inside but I kept chill on the outside like you showed me, and when I hugged him it was like he never let go all those years ago." I said with a single tear shedding down my cheek.

"Poetry my dear friend, you speak poetry" I started laughing, Haleigh always makes me laugh when I want to cry, one of the many reasons I love her."I'm just amazing like that." I say while resting my right hand on my heart looking at the sky which seems to be getting darker by the minutes. "I miss you des." She said sounding sad "Aww, I miss you to boo, so very much." Hey des.?" "Yeah." "I love you." "I love you to" "Text me tomorrow?" "Definitely" "Goodnight." "Sweet dreams."

Chapter 4: All I want is everything

I then hang up the phone an check for any messages from mom, to find one saying goodnight and that she misses and loves me. I send a quick reply and lock my iPhone."Enjoying the view from up there?" Said a thick yet amazing male voice. I drop my phone off of the balcony "Baby!" I shouted referring to my phone, the same time I hear the same voice from a second ago saying "Oww!" While I begin to look over the railing and to the ground below. I see a guy sitting on the floor rubbing his head while my phone is on the grass next to him.

I run out of my room, down the stairs through the kitchen to reach the backyard. Where I run over and land on my knees next to the random guy "Oh my god! I'm so sorry but you scared the shit out of me." I said. He then looks at me our eyes automatically connecting "My fault. I'm sorry I scared you" he said. "It's okay, how's your head?" I ask glancing at where his hand was still on top of his head. "I think I'll live" he said jokingly.

I gave a small laugh and grabbed my phone from the ground, my phone was cracked and so was my phone case. I then look at him to notice he's staring at me, "so who are you?" I said breaking the silence. "My name is Treavor, I'm the landscaper for Mr. Johnson. Who are you?"

"I'm Destiny, his daughter." I said, "Wait your the destiny the one that he always talks about?" He said, I smile. "Yeah I guess I am." My dad then walks outside, "Sweetheart what is going on out here?" He asked. "We'll I dropped my phone because of the beautiful view I have from my room, and it fell on Treavor's head." I said smiling sheepishly, I then hold out my broken phone case and phone, "unfortunately my little soldier didn't make it through the war." I said shaking my head with a little bit of sadness in my voice.

My dad walks over and helps me up, while Treavor gets up on his own. "We'll I guess we will have to get you a new soldier now don't we." My father says with humor I'm his voice. I hug him, "I guess we do" I then let go and smile, "if you want we can go get it now before the stores close down." He suggests, "Sure let me go get shoes. Treavor it was nice meeting you, I hope to see you soon." I say then I do what I always do I hug him and head to my room to grab shoes.

Chapter 5: All I want is everything

I finally reach my room, grab my shoes and quickly put them on. I then quickly spray myself with some perfume and head downstairs. When I reach the foyer I see my dad and Treavor standing at the door saying goodbyes. We then head to our cars Treavor hops into a beautiful black truck. I hop into my fathers car and we head over to the cellphone store, as we're driving I admire the town there are cute small shops lined up next to each other.

We then reach the cellphone store and we go inside, "Hello, my name is Anna. How may I help you." Says a redhead walking towards us. "Hello Anna, my daughter broke her phone and we wanted to get a new one." "What type of phone were you looking for?" After going through picking the new iPhone 5 in black, I picked a few cute cases to match what I wear. My father loves to spoil me I guess, she then transferred everything from my old phone to the new one. We payed and thanked her for the help, afterwards we headed back to the house after grabbing a pizza and soda.

When we reached the house we ate pizza and talked a little until I excused myself and went to go take a shower. I went to my room and unpacked my bathroom supplies and walked into my bathroom to find freshly clean towels that smelled amazing. I took a long warm shower, relaxing after my wonderful day. Then got out and got ready for bed, I walked downstairs to say goodnight and get a drink of water. Not looking where I was going because I was to busy with my phone I bumped into someone, "Ahhh!!"

I fell and looked up realizing I bumped into some random girl, she has dirty blonde hair. A beautiful round yet cute face, wearing a dark blue dress yet looking very business like. "I'm so sorry to scare you." She said, "Who are you?" I ask still sitting on the floor "I'm Rebecca." She said.

I then get off of the floor, that is when my father walks in "Destiny are you okay." He said, noticing I was holding my heart with my right hand while still clutching my phone. I put my phone in my pocket, "I'm perfectly fine, just being here I seem to be having heart attacks left and right." I say full of sarcasm with a sweet smile on my face. He smiles "We'll that's my fault I didn't mention we weren't alone." He said while walking over to Rebecca. "Destiny this is Rebecca my Wife." He said smiling at Rebecca's the exact same way he used to smile at my mother.

Chapter 6: All I want is everything

"Your what!!?!??!" I shouted, completely bewildered. "Since when were you even dating anyone, how did I not know about this? When were you going to tell me? Urgg!" I rant out quickly. "I will answer any questions, just one at a time." My father said, I just shake my head and walk passed him. He grabs my wrist and I yank it away, "don't touch me right now." I say walking to the kitchen, grabbing a water bottle I walk outside while listening to them talking.

"I can't believe you didn't tell her." Rebecca says. I then close the screen door, and walk as far from the house without feeling like I can get grabbed from someone at arms length in the woods behind the house. I sat down and all of the tears flowed out, I mean I understand that my parents weren't gonna be together again but I didn't expect him to get married again. How could he not have told me I'm the only one in our family that stays in contact with him, and now I'm here and I can't disappear like I want to.

I grab my phone out of my pocket while trying to wipe the tears that won't stop, I call the one person I need most right now. Ring ring ring "Hey this Is Haleigh, if its important I might spend time to call you back. So leave a message and we will see, oh and live life to the fullest!" Says Haleigh's voicemail, "Hey, it's des. Um I got a new phone. But that's not what I have to say, can you call me a soon as you hear this. I need you." I say between sobs, and a little urgency evident in my voice. I then hang up and hope she calls soon, I drink some water and lay down on the grass.

I close my eyes letting my mind wander to everything, I'm crying so bad now with everything that has happened these past years without my father. Sometime during my crying I passed out on the lawn, I'm thanking Treavor that it is well taken care of. A while later, I sit up feeling dry tears on my face, I stretch and check my phone for the time. It's 5:43 a.m. It is a good thing I was wearing sweats and a long sleeve shirt.

I stand up stretching my legs, and pick up my now empty water bottle. I start walking back to the house I am unfortunate to be staying at till the end of the summer. sigh, I go to the screen door to not only see that the door is unlocked but, a sticky note also.

Chapter 7: All I want is everything

'Dear Destiny, I am sorry I don't tell you things I should have earlier. I just didn't want you not to come, I missed you and wanted to see you. Unfortunately I had to work today so you are alone till around dinner, ill text you later with more information. Love, Dad'

I take the note and stick it in my pocket, while walking into the kitchen. I toss the empty water bottle, and grab a granola bar from the pantry. I eat it as I go upstairs to my room, I plug in my phone to the charger once I reach my room. I then toss the granola bar wrapper, and go into my bathroom and take a quick shower.

By the time I step out of the shower and get dressed its starting to get sunny outside. I go to my bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling when my phone starts to ring. I grab it and answer without looking at who it was, "Hello." I say, "Oh my god, I just got your voicemail. What happened? And what phone do you have now?" Says a worried voice I've come to know as my best friend.

"Well I now am an owner of an iPhone 5, and my dad didn't tell me something important. He is apparently married." I say slowly, "he's what?!?" "Yeah I know right, I can't believe he got married let alone didn't bother to tell me. I didn't even know he was dating anyone." I rant out, hoping she understands what I said. "Oh wow, so what are you gonna do? What does she look like?" She asks me.

"Well I'm not sure what I'm gonna do probably not speak to him for a while! And her name is Rebecca she's like really pretty, she has a round cute face, and dirty blonde hair." "Well damn, how did you get the phone?" I finally smiled, "well after our phone call I was texting my mom, and somebody scared me. I dropped my phone off of my balcony and it landed on someone's head and then cracked on the ground. So I got a new phone, and the guy who I dropped my phone on was Treavor."

Chapter 8: All I want is everything

After talking to my best friend for about an hour, she had to go because she had to work. So now I'm laying in my bed, doing nothing because I'm alone and bored. When I'm back home I would probably be hanging with mom, gardening, or with Haleigh. Unfortunately none of that is here, I decide I won't mope around and I change my clothes, I get some shorts and a tank and put on my bathing suit underneath. I then look out at the backyard and see the pool, next to it is a working Treavor. I wonder when he got here.

I walk outside to the backyard, and I walk over to Treavor who has his headphones in. I poke him on the shoulder , "Hey." I said as he turned around to face me and took out an earbud. "Oh hey Destiny" he said "what are you doing" I asked "I'm cleaning the pool, what about you?" He said "we'll I was gonna watch then take a little swim, if that's okay with you." "Yeah that's fine, I might have to join you. It's a hot day." He said wiping his forehead. "Yeah do you want something to drink?" I asked about to turn around to the house. "Sure a water please." "Ok be back in a little"

As I go inside the house I walk into my room grabbing my iPhone and going to the balcony. I take a picture and post it on Instagram saying I'm gonna be swimming on this nice hot day. I then go back downstairs and grab some water bottles and towels, I toss everything on the lawn chairs and grab a water and hand it to Treavor. I then go back to the lawn chairs and lay down on the spread out towel while checking Facebook Instagram and my text messages.

After a while I stand up and from the corner of my eyes I see Treavor looking at me, I then unbutton my short shorts and slip them off. Along with my tank top, my hair is now flowing down my back tickling a bit. I sit back down, and see he is still staring. I give a little smirk that I can't stop, and go bak to my messages when I get a phone call. I answer it with a small smile, "Well its been a while since I've heard from you" I said to Dylan. "Gee sis you make it sound like I've been AWOL." He says laugh with his humorousness. "In all fairness you kinda have" I said sad "I'm sorry we haven't spoken much, but I wanted to see how you were doing with dad." "It's going fine, except the fact he didn't bother to tell me he's married."

I swear I heard him drop the phone "Whoa he's married?" He asked shocked I start laughing "Your just wow, I can't believe you dropped the phone."I said between giggles. "Oh shut up what did you do when you found out?" He said "Well I didn't drop my phone, I kinda yelled then went outside and fell asleep on the grass" I said looking down at my lap. "Really? You did that I would have expected you to have killed someone." He said laughing. "Well I was on the verge of murder, speak of the devil." I said looking up at the screen door to the kitchen.

Chapter 9: All I want is everything

 

"I'll call you later Dylan." I said hanging up the phone as I stare at my father in the kitchen who's just staring at me. I felt my phone vibrate indicating I have a text message, from Dylan 'no bye -.-' I simply shake my head. I then look over at Treavor who was putting the pool cleaning stuff away. I stand up and stretch my arms and legs and start walking over to the house.

"Hello" said my father. "Hi" I said walking over to the counter and grabbing an apple taking a bite after rinsing it in water. "How's your day?" Said my dad "Oh cut the bullshit." I say getting annoyed. "Language young lady" he said and I laughed. "Really now you choose to be a father? Are you gonna choose to be honest to or will that take a few years to?" I ask sarcastically. "Listen I know your upset about what has happened and I'm sorry I didn't tell you." He says looking at me.

"I'm more than upset dad I'm hurt, hurt that you didn't bother to tell me you were married. I would have been fine if you told me from the start." I said turning and walking out of the kitchen to the backyard. I then slam the screen door and soon after as I walk to the chair and grab my phone, I hear dads car start and leave. "You okay?" Treavor asked "Yeah I just need to cool down" I said putting my hair up in a messy bun, and then I jump into the pool.

As my body goes under the water it's silent and refreshing, for a split-second I feel calm and relaxed. Unfortunately I need to breathe and as I resurface I wipe my eyes and smile looking at Treavor who is staring and smiling back at me. "You gonna join me, or do I have to suffer being alone" I say giving a cute pout. He then takes off his t-shirt and his shorts leaving him in his boxers he then cannonballs into the pool , splashing me in the process.

When he comes up he shakes his hair around which is long in a cute way, his hair starts to stick to his forehead. I then realize we're both just staring at each other, I decide hey I might as well continue to stare. I then move to his eyes which are connected with mine, there blue like a bright blue. I'm a bit jealous of them because while his are this bright blue mine are a dull green not even bright just plane and dull, and that's when I realize his eyes are getting closer and closer.

Chapter 10: All I want is everything

I continue to stare into his deep bright blue eyes, as they continue to get closer just as I am. I then look at his face and notice how there's a small scar on his forehead right above his eyebrow, almost unnoticeable. Then how his eyelashes are a little long and again I'm completely jealous, this guy is gorgeous, I look at his lips which are slightly open and I just want them to be on mine.

As I think this his hand is now reaching out, his hand touches my face as he moves some of my hair behind my ear. My hand then reaches out and I do the same, moving hair off of his forehead. Then my fingertips trace his eyebrow where the small scar is, moving down his cheek to his jaw. As I'm doing this I feel his hand going down my face and towards my neck, when his hand moves to the back of my neck I look into his eyes.

His eyes are a few shades darker, but still so beautiful. My hands now both go to his shoulders, while his go to my hips. Pulling me closer, my arms wrap around his neck as our faces get closer. I'm looking into his breathe catching eyes, and I see his eyes go to my lips for a second till they land on my eyes again. I bite my bottom lip as he stares at me.

He then leaned forward until our lips met, moving in sync. This was probably the best kiss I've ever had, he then bit my bottom lip making me gasp slightly. He took that opportunity to slip his tongue inside my mouth, he tasted sweet almost like cotton candy. The kiss deepened as I pulled him closer to me, wrapping my legs around him. His hands were roaming my body feeling my slight curves, as one of my hands was tangled in his hair the other was sliding down his chest.

Just as I felt his hands make there way towards my top, my phone rang. We continued, as my phone was playing 'Bitch like me' by Colette Carr. My phone stopped as he started kissing my neck, he bit me softly and I moaned as he continued what he was doing. My phone yet again started ringing, "ugh, someone better be dying" I mumble as we detangled from each other, I quickly thopped out of the pool. I dried my hands and my face, "what do you want" I say into the phone. I then hear slight sobs, "Destiny" said a crackling voice. "Yes, who is this." "It's Rebecca. I called to tell you that your father was in a car accident"

Chapter 11: All I want is everything

Recap:

"Destiny" said a crackling voice. "Yes, who is this." "It's Rebecca. I called to tell you that your father was in a car accident"

------

I fell to my knees as I heard about my fathers car accident, i bursted into tears."Please, please tell me he's not dead." I plead, "he's not dead." She says sounding as though she's reassuring herself instead of me. "Just, do you need me to pick you up and take you to the hospital?" She asked, "no i'll meet you there" I say looking at Treavor who has already gotten out of the pool and was drying himself off. "Ok, I'll see you soon then." She said and hung up. I just stay there on my knees with tears still falling, "Treavor, can you drive me to the hospital?"

2hours later

After finding out about the car accident Treavor hugged me as i cried, then we had gotten ready and headed to the hospital. The drive to the hospital was filled with a comfortable silence, as he held my hand the way there. As we arrived Rebecca was in the waiting room, there were tears running down her face a she was zone out staring at the flowers on the table next to the magazines that probably have been there for years. Me and Treavor had taken the seats next to Rebecca, I place my hand on top of hers in a comforting way. Which she returned with a grateful smile, Treavor was still holding my hand which was the only thing helping me to not break down right now.

I remove my hand from Rebecca as my phone starts to vibrate from my jacket pocket, I had a text message from my mother saying the basic hello and how she misses me, feeling a pair of eyes on me, I look at Treavor then at Rebecca seeing they were both looking ahead. I look to see what they were staring at, that's when I see the doctor who seems oddly familiar. "Hello Rebecca, and family members." He said glancing at me and Treavor. "Hello doctor, is my husband going to be okay?" She asks getting straight to the point.

"why yes your husband is going to be fine, but he will have to stay the night for a few days so we can keep an eye on him." He says looking at his clip board. "If you would follow me you may see him now." He said gesturing us to follow. We all follow walking down numerous hallways until we are outside of my fathers room, the doctor opened the door for us. Rebecca quickly went over to his side, giving him a quick kiss to the lips and squeezing his hand. I squeeze treavor's hand a little tighter, while moving closer to his side.

"Hello Destiny." My father said looking at me, "Hi." "Come here sweetheart." He said gesturing for me to come closer. I go to the other side of the bed, not letting go of treavors hand. He doesn't object though,when I reach the other side of his bed I cant help but let go of Trevor's hand and hug my father. What can I say, I'm still a daddy's girl at heart. "I'm so glad your okay" I mumble into his chest, I then felt his cheat rumble with laughter. "Sweetheart I'm fine, I won't leave you. But I am sorry that I didn't exactly tell you the truth." I look into his big round eyes and see sadness and regret clear in them. "I forgive you, but you have to tell me everything. Starting now." I say smiling down at my father as I stand upright, he returns the smile and I realize that it takes my father being in a hospital bed to see that I am lucky to have a father who cares and doesn't want to hurt me.
