I got to the entrance gate of the park and the first person I saw was tyler.

"Hey, tyler!"

"Oh, hey sage!"

"So what would you like to do?"

"Why don't we sit down and talk? I'd really like to get to know you better."

"Okay. but I must warn you, my life is SO boring. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!"

He laughed. his laugh was so cute. we walked to the cement dock at the lake and he asked me a lot of questions about me. and after a long time of us talking he said,

"Hey you want to grab some lunch now?"

YES,PLEASE! I'm starving!!!"

He laughed.

"Okay, where to?"

"Um.......i don't know where's a place YOU would like to go to?"

"Um........."

We sat in silence for a moment.

"How about we go get........................... PIZZA!!!!!!"

"YESSSSSSS!!! TO THE PIZZA PLACE !!!!!" I YELLED.

We got some strange looks from people but we just sat there laughing.

We got our seats at the restaurant, and me and tyler decided to share a cheese pizza. After the waitress left our table when it got to our pizza tyler asked me a question

"Sage, I know I just me you, and this maybe the most caliche thing I've ever said but............."

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"OH MY GOD. YES!!!!!"

We got up and gave each other a huge long hug. I think that was the happiest I've ever felt in a long long time. I just wish that happiness would last for what was about to happen. which would most likely be the worst day in my life.

Friday July 4,2013

It's almost been a month since me and tyler started dating. my mom knew but I didn't tell my dad cuz I've decided a few years back that he was no longer in my life or in my family, for me at least, my mom still had hope he'd change. but tonight my mom let me sneak out and celebrate the Fourth of July with tyler (in this world Canada celebrates it too, I really don't even know if they celebrate it or not just go along with it.). Me and tyler had a dinner picnic in his backyard while we watched the fireworks light the sky and all night we watched tv, movies, and played video games. but during a commercial break I got a call from a strange number I didn't recognize. I still answered though. I went outside so tyler wouldn't have to listen.

"Hello? who is this?"

"Ms.wilson, this is doctor Wyles from the better hopes hospital center and I'm afraid we have some terrible news for you."

"Oh my god. what happened!'

My heart started to race.

" I'm so sorry to tell you this especially over the phone, but your father was terribly high and very drunk......."

"Yeah he almost always is, sorry I didn't mean to interrupt. please continue."

" No no. that would actually help us. but anyways, we don't know everything but I'm so sorry to tell you but your father stabbed and hit your mother. then he hopped in his truck and ran into another car and flew of the side of the road down a very high and steep hill. the other driver somehow made it out alive, but with serious injuries that should have killed them. but your father is dead. and your mother died while we were trying to save her. I'm so sorry."

Oh god. I might throw up or pass out. this cant be happening. this is a nightmare. My mind was racing, my eyes quickly over flooded with tears that slowly fell down my cheeks onto the patio floor.

"Wh.........what?"

"I'm so sorry. but I do have to ask do you have any relative you can live with? or a friend or someone till you can live on your own.

" I don't have any family left. but I can stay with my boyfriend."

"Okay. and if that doesn't work out you will have to move in with a friend or if you can't you'll be put in foster care."

"Okay."

My voice was cracking and quivering horribly at this point. why. why did he do it. that fucking asshole. now all of my family is gone.

"I'm sorry ms.wilson I have to go. I will talk to you later about some more business we have to discuss."

"Okay sir thank you for letting me know............ hey before you go who was in the car my father hit?"

"I can't tell you that now but I can tell you that the next time we talk. I hope you will be able to heal. it won't be easy but you'll be in a lot if people's prayers. good bye ms.wilson."

"Good bye."

I hung up and went inside to tell tyler.

(Tyler's pov)

The patio door opened and sage came in with tears and make up running down her face.

"Tyler.........."

Her voice was so weak and cracked and quivering.

" Oh my god, sage what happened!"

" My father killed my mom. and then he hit another persons car and fell of the road killing him. my mom died in the operating room."

That's when she dropped to the floor and sobbed. I knelt down there with her, cradling her in my arms.

"Sage.........."

" I have to find someone to live with till I can live on my own or else ill be put in foster care. I know this is a lot to be asking for but vs I move in with you? I have no one else now."

"Sage, of course you can stay with me. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now."

She couldn't speak at all anymore all she could do was sob very hard. I had no idea what to do besides sit there and stay by her side and help her no matter what. I had to.

I couldn't here her sobbing anymore I looked down and saw here in a peaceful sleep but I could see it was bringing memories of her mom and had. she still had tears running down her face. I decided to pick her up and let her sleep in my bed and I'd sleep on the futon in my bedroom so I could stay with her and make sure she was okay through out the night. I layed her down and pulled the covers over her. before I went to bed I kissed her on the forehead and whispered softly in her ear,

"I'm so sorry, sage. I don't know what your feeling or going though right now , but I promise on my life that no matter what I will protect you and stay with you forever. I love you so much, and so did your mom. and I'm betting she's looking down from heaven wishing she could be here with you to tell you how much she loves you. good night sage"

And with one more kiss on her cheek this time, I changed and tried to go to bed but it was hard knowing that your girlfriend is going through the hardest shit ever and is fully relying on you. I hardly got any sleep.
