     I've decided to stay single. Things have been tense between Lindsay  and I, Well more than usual. I wake up  and yawn. I pick out a red peplum shirt with a low back and white pants. I apply some clear lip gloss, mascara, a light coat of gold eye shadow, and white sandals. I straighten my brown hair. I go downstairs. "Hey, You okay?" I look at my brother who has tears from his eyes, "Dads coming home." Instead of tears my face is bright red of anger. "What?" I respond "He wants to take custody of us, I over heard mom and him fighting over the phone. I yell "HE CANT DO THAT HE LEFT US FOR THAT 24 YEAR OLD!" I walk to my car I recently got  my license. "Brittany, You have to take me to school." I grunt. I start the car "So.. What happened?" He explains last night while I was in the shower he overheard mom talking to my dad over the phone she was like "No you left them you cannot have custody  of them!"  That's how he knew it was my dad. "We will talk about this later. Bye love you." he responds "Love you too" and gets out of the car. I see him walk over to his friends.

I grab my spanish textbook right as my locker is closed, "Hey!" Ryan smirks "What do you want?" I ask "Did you finish our essay." I take it out of  my binder and put it in his open hand. "Bye." "Wait! Wanna walk together? We have spanish together"  I raise my eyebrows "Sadly we do. Oh and nah I think I can walk by myself." I fake smile and walk away. I past by Erick. He stops "Can we talk?" I bite my lip "Maybe that's not a good idea." I continue to walk "Hold up!" he pulls me back "Are you okay?" Should I tell him? "Yeah..." I lied He shakes his head in disapproval "No your not, Come on what's going on?" I think for a second "I'm going to be late for class." He frowns "Go to the nurse and say your sick, Meet me at the beach in 10 minutes." He says "Where?" Erick responds with a smirk "Where we kissed." I flashback comes back.... I told him I loved him and left him, Well he did kiss Lindsay. Which he has apologized so many times I lost count. "Um Okay..."   I walk into Spanish. "Um Mrs.Pollock, I don't feel good." I lie and put my hand on my stomach. "Oh well go to the nurse! Quickly!" I walk out, Ah she is the easiest to fool!  I walk upstairs and into the restroom, I make sure that my water is hot and put it on my face til its burns. I feel to make sure I have a "fever". I smirk," Mrs.Laura?" I say with a sick tone "Yes honey?" She responds "I-I don't feel so good." She feels my forhead, "Hm You feel a little warm,Let me check your temperature." She looks for her thermometer. She puts the thermometer on my head. Beep beep! "Well you have a mild fever... I think you need to go home. I will call your mom to get you." I reply "I have my own car,I only live only a couple miles away." She nods her head. I walk out..

I sigh, Where is he? I've been waiting here for like 20 minutes! "Hey!" Erick sits down, I wave. "Now so what's a matter?" I sigh "My dad wants to take custody of us."He frowns "Oh I am so sorry Brittany!" He hugs me, When he hugs me I feel like I'm safe, Like nothing can hurt me. "So what are you gonna do?" He says after awhile. I shrug "Brittany, I am sorry for cheating on you, I was stupid and it was a  mistake. I love you, I never wanted to lose you." I look into his big brown eyes "Erick, I love you too, But you kissed Lindsay! Of all people her." I frown "I will never do it again! I miss you, I miss your smile, your  laugh, your everything! Please take me back." He begs.  I've missed having someone to talk to.  Lydia has been gone a lot lately. I bite my lip. "I-i ' don't know...." I studder. I thought I had a flashback of our kiss but this wasn't a flashback,this was real. When ever we touch I feel safe,Nothing in the world can hurt me.Then it ends. "Okay." "Okay what?" "I'll give you a second chance."  He smiles and hugs me. I feel the same feeling everytime. I hug him back. "So what are you going to about your dad?" He asks I sigh "I have no idea! I need to talk to my mom about it. My 13 old brother had to tell me." I look at the time on my phone, "I got get home. I'll text you" I say and stand up and brush off the sand.

I open the door to see the worst thing possibly "Hi sweetheart!" My dad said
