Hey you wonderful, amazing reviewers! Thank you so, so much for the reviews for last chapter, they mean everything. So I'm sorry for the lack of updates, school was getting pretty intense, and I was stressed. Throw flames if need be, but school's out, summer's in :D Here's chapter two, hope you like it. Review at the end, please. Thanks.

Chapter 2- I Told You So

Suppose I called you up tonight,

And told you that I loved you.

And suppose I said I wanna come back home.

And suppose I cried, and said I think

I've finally learned my lesson.

And I'm tired of spending all my time alone.

Mike knew he probably looked like an idiot standing there, staring in awe. He couldn't believe it. Scarlet, his Scarlet right there in front of him, and with their daughter. Maggie was it? She was beautiful, just like her mother. This, this was fate giving him a second chance. It had to be. He wasn't going to screw it up this time. He was going to take the road he should have taken twenty years ago. "Maggie, why don't you go wait in the car." Scarlet suggested. The brunette girl nodded, and smiled at Mike.

"It was nice to meet you-" she said, giving him a questioning look. "Mr. O'Donnell," he finished, and Scarlet placed her head in her hand in frustration. "Really?" Maggie asked. "That's my last name too. Huh, well see you around Mr. O'Donnell."

"Are you really that stupid?" Scarlet asked, lifting her head from her hand and looking at Mike gave a confused expression, which made her roll her eyes.

"Hi Maggie," Scarlet mocked Mike's voice. "Both of our last names are O'Donnell which means that I'm the father you never met. You see, back in high school, I chose basketball over your mother and you. No hard feelings though, right?"

"Scar-" Mike said, but she cut him off. "No, don't you dare call me that!" she ordered.

If I told you that I realized

You're all I ever wanted.

And it's killin' me to be so far away.

Would you tell me that you loved me too,

And would we cry together.

Or would you simply laugh at me, and say.

Mike sighed heavily, "Scarlet, I know that what I did back then was horrible, unforgivable, but I'm here now, and I want to make things right." he said. Scarlet stepped back and shook her head. "No Mike," she stated. "I told you, May 20 1989, In Blue Ridge High School's gym, that if you walked away from me then, you weren't getting another chance. You walked away, and now it's my turn. Leave me and Maggie alone." and she was gone.

I told you so,

Oh I told you so.

I told you someday you'd come crawling back,

And asking me to take you in.

I told you so, but you had to go.

Now I've found somebody new,

And you will never break my heart in two again.

Mike laid back down in his bed, and stared up at the ceiling, Scarlet's final words to him twenty years ago ringing in his head.

"Okay Mike, you walk away. But when you wake up and realize this life isn't everything you've dreamed of, don't you come and find me. I won't be waiting for you to come around."

She was absolutely right. He'd ruined both of their lives by that stupid choice. He wasn't giving up all hope yet. He had to get her and Maggie back.

If I got down on my knees,

And told you I was yours forever.

Would you get down on yours too, and take my hand?

Would we get hat old time feeling?

Would we laugh and talk for hours?

The way we did when our love first began.

To clear his head, he decided to take a drive throughout his old town. He smiled as he passed by the familiar places. Blue Ridge High School, and old park he and Scarlet would go on dates to, the old diner. Why on earth would he choose that basketball scholarship over this? Oh right, it was all about him and what he wanted. And at the time, he wanted basketball and stardom, not a wife and a daughter at eighteen.

Would you tell me that you missed me too

And that you've been so lonely?

And you waited for the day that I returned.

And we'd live in love forever, and that I'm your one and only,

Or would you say the tables finally turned?

As he drove through his old neighborhood, a house caught his attention. There in the front window you could see Scarlet's head resting on another man's shoulder as they watched T.V. In pure bliss. "She..moved on?" Mike questioned, stopping his car, and resting his head back against the seat.

Would you say:

I told you so.

Oh, I told you so.

I told you someday you'd come crawling back,

And asking me to take you in.

I told you so, but you had to go.

Now I've found somebody new, and you will never break my heart in two again.

Now I've found somebody new, and you will never break my heart in two again...

I don't the Carrie Underwood lyrics, and as much as I would love to, I don't own 17 again.. Zac Efron on the other hand, all I have to say is move over Vanessa.
