"Daddy, I miss you." I said into his embrace.

"I know baby, I miss you too." He replied back. Saying it like his death didn't even occur.

"What happened to you?

"To be honest baby girl, I don't remember."

I woke up.

--------------------------------

I walked on the tile floor. I wanted to see Jack. I wanted to fix what happened yesterday in the car. I wanted to kiss him back.

I looked at my white and black chucks. They went perfectly with my light skinny pants, and my black T-shirt. I took a little more time with my outfit day, I don't know why though. It's not like Jack is the type to notice things like that. He seemed to oblivious to certain things.

I walked into the class, and saw him at his seat. I smiled big at him, and when he looked up he smiled back at me. My heart thumped loudly. My legs felt like noodles. Speaking of legs, when am I going to run again? It's been a few months. I should really start again. I just stopped going to practice. Maybe because I sunk more into depression mode. I took my time going to my desk, just so it looks like I'm not trying.

"Hey." I said breathing out when I sat down at my desk, getting my notebook out, and having my pencil ready.

"Hey." He smiled at me.

"What's up?"

"You want to do something with me this weekend?"

I was taken back. I tried to wait a few seconds to compose myself. In my head though, I wanted to scream.

"Sure." I smiled casually.

"Cool. What do you want to do?" He asked with relief it looked like.

"I don't know. What do you like to do?"

"Lets go to Six Flags."

Honestly, it sounded so much fun. Riding roller coasters with him. And I'm all for an adrenaline rush. I thought for a second, and collecte my thoughts. I smiled at him.

"Yes." I smiled so big inside.
