this is an addition to my story with some improvements on the beginingWhy me?Once upon a time there was a young girl named Davinia. She was from a very poor family, and she was very unhappy one day because her father had left the week before and had said that he would only be gone for a few hours.She asked her mom were her dad was after a few more days and her mom said that she and her dad had gotten a divorce and did not want to tell her and her sister.Davinia was very mad about this and decided she wanted to call and talk to him about this. She looked for him in all of the phone books she could and still couldn’t find him. She asked her mom and she said “I do not want you talking to him because he left us”Davinia did not want to hear that and decided to find him anyway. She looked in her moms room when she was home alone and found his phone number and address. The next time her mom was gone she went to the address that was supposedly her dads and to her surprise it was a total stranger.She went home after thinking she had the wrong address and decided that she would ask her mom about it. When she asked her mom about this, She sighed and said I guess I needed to tell you one day. Davinia gave her mom a confused look and asked for her to explain.“well” her mom started.” when I was pregnant with you I got a divorce from the man you met today and found the man you know as your father and decided we would never tell you about this.” Davinia was very very mad at her mom and asked what her real dads name was and if she could meet him again. Her mom was not very happy about this but agreed because she knew that she was very stubborn.The next day Davinia went back to the mans house and he answered the door. She asked to come in and he asked why. Davinia replied “I know this is going to sound corny but you are my dad, my mom was married to you and when she was pregnant with me she got a divorce with you, so may I come in I have just a few questions to ask you.He let her in and asked if she would like anything to drink and she said no thanks and that she just had a few questions to ask him. She started out with just the simple questions, what is your name, do you have any kids, and most importantly why did u and my mom get a divorceThis mans name was Thomas, and he had one other child named Ayesa. She is eight years old and loves to play in the park just like Davinia did when she was that age. She went onto his house and found that he was fairly rich, and he was not sure why they got a divorce. She kept asking questions for about an hour. Once she was done she left and went home to tell her mom what she had been doing.Her mom was very upset with what she was doing and grounded her. Davinia did not like being grounded ever, especially for the little thing she had done. That night once her mom was asleep she snuck out of her window and went to see her dad again. When he answered his door and saw here there he asked why she was there. She replied “I have been talking to my mom and I think that I should live with you…at least if you will let me” Her dad gave her a loving look and responded “you can stay for tonight and let what you want to do sink in” But in the back of his mind he was very happy that she wanted to stay with him. After this talk Davinia went up to a room se was hoping to share with her half sister.When she woke up the next morning she went down stairs to find her dad and talk to him before she went home. Once she was dressed and went back down stairs, she found her dad making a huge pancake breakfast for her and her sister. She ate the breakfast and then went outside to play with Ayesha and then began her 3 kilometre walk home.When she got home her mom was very mad that she had snuck out and spent the night at a stranger’s house. Davina finally told her mom what she thought about moving in with Thomas, her mom was very hurt but accepted it and said that she could but that is she ever wanted to come back home she could.So after packing her things she began a walk to the bus stop she was going to use to get to his house, she really did not want to walk all that way with two suitcases. Once she got on the bus she saw a gorgeous boy sitting all alone in the back listening to his I-pod, she decided to go and sit near him to see if he would talk to her. She rode the whole way in silence but when she finally got to her stop he got off to. When she was walking he finally talked to her and said ”my name is Joshua but you can call me josh” She nodded and said “my name is Davinia and I am just moving in with my dad” they talked for a few minutes but he said he had to go and that he lived right next door and that he hopes that she will one day be going to the same high school as him. As soon as she got into the house her dad said that he is so happy that she is finally with him and that he has been trying to meet her for many years. After a few hours she asked her dad about Josh and his family, He said that they are a very good family but that his father had been murdered about two years ago and that his mom has been in and out of rehab for the past couple of months for drug abuse and he and his little sister were having a tough time with that.The next morning she woke up to Ayesha in her bed with very cold feet but she did not mind because it was new to her and she felt it as love. She went to move but her little sister said I lubb you divvy, this really hit home to her and she started crying happy tears. After this she finally realized that through out all the years her mother never said I love you or anything like that all of her life.Her Dad was up already and making some eggs and some toast for the two girls. When he saw them approaching the table he came over and gave them both a huge hug and said “good morning my beautiful girls how was your sleep” This set her off crying again and her father said “I am sorry I know this is a bit thing for you” She replied “these are not tears of sadness but of happiness for finding a family that shows their love for me” Later that day after breakfast and getting changed into her beautiful blue sun dress she went outside to sit on the swing and start writing the song she had stared writing last night while thinking about Josh, as she was writing josh silently came up beside her and sat down. This startled her and she briskly closed the pink and brown polka dot book in witch she was writing in. He asked what she was writing in there and she replied just a song.She went and put her book inside and came out with two glasses of lemonade for the two of them and they sat in silence on the swing just thinking.
