His Name Is Justin Blake

" We should go take a walk together ." Damon , my older brother , said .

"Yea I guess . We don't have anything else to do ." Dustin replied .

"Okay Carra , I'll talk to you later ." I said looking back at the bright screen .

"Okay bye Justin ." Her soft voice replied . I closed my laptop , and got up from the table . Dustin grabbed his phone , and Damon did the same .

"Leggoooo ." Damon said , and we left the house .

Daniella*

" So , I've been thinking a lot ." Dad said .

"You think too much ." I replied staring out the window .

" I don't agree . Well , maybe I do . But it's good to think ." He said .

"No it's not . Your thoughts can surround you , creating a reality , in which you think is real . Then , you find out it isn't , and it makes you depressed . It ruins you ." I said .

" And you know this exactly how ?" My dad said getting angry .

"Because it's happened to me before Dad ." I said , still staring out of the window .

"Danniella , I'm sorry okay ? I know things have been explosive , but you have to try ." He said , turning into the parking lot . I ignored it .

"Okay , let's just have a good time tonight okay ? Forget everything Danny." Nathan said quietly to me as we walked into Outback .

"Hello , how many ?" The waitress asked us .

"3." My dad replied . The waitress nodded , and took us to a booth , and handed us menus .

"My names Taylor , if you need anything just holler at me ." Her southern accent replied . She left , and I stared down at the menu .

Steak ? No.
Hamburger ? No . I'm already fat enough .
Chicken ? No .
Salad ? I guess .

"Find anything you want ?" My dad said , staring at me across the table .

"Yea . I just want a salad ." I said .

"Are you sure ?" He replied .

"Yes dad ." I rolled my eyes , and he turned to Nathan .

"For you , Son ?" He asked him .

"Um .. Just a steak ." He hesitated . My dad nodded and looked down at his hands .

"I .. I'm trying guys . I really am . I'm so sorry about all of this ." He said .

"Dad , I'm tired of the pity . Stop saying you're sorry ." I said , and got up , grabbing my bag . I walked outside and sat down on the curb .

"You okay?" I heard a familiar voice speak . I looked up and saw the cute , now purple haired , boy I'd seen at the school earlier .

"Yea. Just , my dad is getting on my nerves ." I sighed and looked away . He sat next to me .

"What happened ?" He asked me. I turned and looked at him.

"Well , my mom died last year. We moved here a few months ago , and it's been really hard. My dad is always apologizing. It gets annoying sometimes." I replied .

"He probably feels bad. He just wants to help ." He said . I nodded .

"My name is Justin ." He said , sticking out his hand .

" I know . I mean , um .. I'm .. I'm Daniella ." I said nervously , trying to cover it up with a smile .

" That's a really pretty name ." He replied , smiling. I blushed .

"Thanks , " I paused . "Justin"

"No problem. Well , I should go back to my brothers . But good luck with your dad ." He said getting up . I got up too , and smiled.

"Thanks. I guess I'll see you at school." I said .

"Yes. Bye Danniella !" He called out following his brothers . I smiled and walked back into the restaraunt .
