17. Dear Best Friend, JULIE
Ciara's POV
When we arrived at McDonald's, Patricia inquired, "What did she say to you?"
"Nothing," I explained, "she was just sorry and said her father is coming home today, so Mr. Phillip Garcia will be in Butuan."
"Which implies, Shan's father too," Faith remarked abruptly, sighing, "does Shan already know about this?"
"I doubt it," I shrugged. "Julie never informed Shan about it. She wants to tell Shan, but she hasn't had the opportunity to meet him yet."
I quickly saw Patrick waking in our direction so I stood up in my seat and assisted Patrick in lifting the plate of food. "Thanks, Ciar. So, what's our gossip for today?"

Please come back."He said bitterly,"No, I'm not going back, I'm heading straight home! I've lost my mood and appetite,"but I stopped him."Shan,"I replied,"what you said to Faith was so terrible. She's simply worried about you, and what's wrong with all of that? Why not give your real father a chance?

Ciara's POVI was bored viewing movies and clips on Facebook while I scrolled through my phone. Things are different now that Shan is out, and I haven't spoken to him since our earlier fight.I'm not used to being enraged and irritable with each other, but I'll give it some time. My parents are right that he requires time to reflect and change. Maybe he was surprised by what was going on, but I can't make him accept it right immediately, especially since he has no idea who that man is.According to Patrick, I only feel sad for his biological father. I'm sure he misses Shan terribly because Shan is his son, of course. Shan, I'm sure, is unaware of this. Shan's father used to visit him when he was a child, according to Mrs. Anderson, until he was four years old.I was just baffled as to why he hadn't shown up? What a wasting of Shan's chance to get to know h

I can't afford to lose her, and I'm not sure what I'll do if she vanishes with me.I noticed that mom, dad, and Phillip were still present when we arrived at the restaurant. I'm not sure what to call him yet, but I'm not sure I want to call him Dad.When Mom and Dad noticed me, they stood up and approached me. Mom hugged me and held my face, his eyes red, "Shan, I'm glad you're back," she murmured before letting go of our embrace,
