"If I could do it all over, maybe I'd do it different, maybe I wouldn't be here, in this position, I found you then I lost you, looking back is torture, and it hurts to know I let you go."
"Good morning" I say to my dad as I walk into the kitchen, "Morning" he says kissing my forehead then pouring his coffee, "Do you need me to do anything today while your at work" I say also getting some coffee, "I was thinking about maybe leaving the car here and getting a ride to work if you could pick me up later" he says, "Okay just let me know when" I say then my dad gives me a hug and leaves for work.

"Josh can you watch Zara and Gil for a little while" I ask, "Yea I love you" he says kissing me, "I love you too" I say then I go upstairs to get dressed.

I go to the gym and see a few of my old friends from school.
"Is that Alayíah" I hear one of the girls say, I keep walking trying to act like I dont notice them until they all walk up to me.
"Hey girl we missed you" one of the girls say, "Look I really dont have time for this right now" I say then walk back to the car and drive home.
I park the car then I go for a run.
later*
Josh and I were sitting on the couch in my living room waiting to pick up my dad when I get another text from him.

"Where are the kids" I ask standing between his legs, "I took them to school" he says placing his hands on my waist and pulling me onto his lap, "Thank you" I say hugging him.
"Go get dressed" Josh says then kisses my forehead and I get up and go to change.
