royce was still in the bathroom. she wasn't crying. she was feeling numb from THE crying. but she knew it was stupid, crying over a boy, am i right?.

she had her hands on both sides of the bathroom sink, staring deeply into her own eyes. she sighed as she turned on the water, lightly pouring water onto her face.

she flinched a little due to the cold in the water, but none-less did it once more.

a knock was heard on the bathroom door. "hey, rory are you okay?", the sound of dads voice made her freeze.

"uh, y-yeah," she mumbled.

"what was that?", johnny said against the door.

"uh, i said yeah," she said a little louder. putting her hair in a bun.

"no it's not, come into my office. i know when you're lying."

"no you don't", royce denied.

"yes i do. i'm your father. i made you. now come outside".

"okay," she said. she unlocked the door and saw her dad waiting for her.  she looked around and the dojo was empty. has she been in there for that long?.

"dont worry, i dismissed class for today," johnny informed his daughter. she nodded.

the lawrence's walked to his office. they went inside as johnny sighed.

"what's really going on royce?".

"uh. it's stupid but i don't know and i'm scared to tell you and-" she stopped rambling as she saw her father raise a brow.

"it's okay."

"uh. so, i'm basically not feeling anything. not after what just happened."

he nodded. "and why is that? is it because of that moskowitz boy?, what did he do? i swear to-"

"dad! no he didn't do anything. i mean he did but, i don't know what to do dad," royce admitted.

"what happened?"

"so. i'm basically in love with him. i know we're to young to be in love and whatnot", royce said.

"yeah?, what he do to you?"

"he kissed another girl. silly right? had my hopes up for nothing. i was basically the only girl there for him when he had his little nerd phase. i didn't judge him. i loved him for him," royce eyes started tearing up, and johnny noticed this and stood up immediately.

"hey, hey. it's okay.", johnny tried to calm down his slightly shaking daughter .

"no, it's not. i cant pretend it's okay dad. like no funny shit, i'm happiest when i'm with him. you know that", she wiped a tear.

johnny frowned slightly at her words. he hugged her immediately as he felt tears dropping onto his gi. he rubbed her back as she hugged him back.

"it's okay. just let it out. (go ahead and cry little girl... sorry i had to.. anyway back to the story), it's alright", johnny comforted.

"i love you dad", royce mumbled against his shirt.

"i love you too rory." he kissed the top of her head. "we're lawrence's, we don't need anyone. all we got is eachother."
