Roma
Chapter 1- Leaving home and crash.
"Karla" My dad's voice boomed through my head as the sunlight came into my room. At first I felt like throwing my hands up and screaming at him for waking me up this early, but then it hit me, I was going to Rome today with my best friends from school! "DAD!!! We GOT TO HURRY" I heard him chuckle from down the hall. "Truck is already warming up sweetheart." he called and I felt my body relax. I jumped out of bed and ran to my own private bathroom, to get ready for the day of travel, the warm water felt good over my skin as I washed and scrubbed, I came out to find the fresh towels that my dad left me, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. This would be the first time my dad has been alone since my mom died a year ago, and guilt flew through my mind.
"You don't look so excited now kiddo?" I threw my arms around him as I came into the kitchen, "I'm just worried... you will be alone." I felt my dad's body shake as he turned into tears. "Don't worry about me baby girl, I will be fine." I felt his lips brush my forehead and soon we were in the truck on the way to the airport.
The airport was packed with people, I scanned the crowd for my group of friends. I wouldn't call myself popular or anything but I did have a great group of friends that most people envied and wanted to be part of. "Where is Justin and Shawn and the others?" my dad was growing impatient, he didn't want to leave me without anyone! "SARAH!" Justin called and I saw him surrounded by the others and his girlfriend hanging off his side. "Great" I mumbled, but soon found myself engulfed in a hug from Shawn. "You made it!" his green eyes sparkled down at me. "Mr. Cambell." he stuck his hand out to my dad. "You take care of my daughter now." My dad tried to look serious. "Of course, we all love her." Justin had pulled away from Becky and wrapped his arm around my waist, I couldn't help but look into his deep brown eyes and get lost. "I'll be fine dad." I blushed as I tried to get away from him.
"Love you sweetie, call me when you get there." he smiled and pulled me in for one more hug. "Love you too daddy." I kissed his cheek not knowing it might be for the last time.
