When me and my sister got in the car I had a sad expression on my face, head leaned against the car window, ignoring everything and anything around me.
“Damian?” She said, After I didn’t respond she screamed “DAMIAN!”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay?”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“You seem…” she paused. “Depressed in a way.”
“Uh, yeah I'm fine, just something happened.”
“Like what?” my mom said suddenly, also curious, and eves dropping.
“Well.. okay. You know how I go after school to practice?” I asked, pushing my head off the glass window.
“Yea…” My mom said with a confused, but listening, tone.
“This guy, he’s new, came in and heard me play...” I stopped for a breath “He said something and I heard him. I dropped everything, ran and when I got to my locker I realized I was crying.”
“Oh sweetheart..” my mom said with empathy in her voice.
“Sooo, is he your new crushh~” my sister suddenly butted in, smirking at me.
“W-What?! Noo…”
“Oh my Irene you're a bad liar.” her face dropping.
“Shut it.” I said turning away blushing like a maniac.
I stared out the window again and lost my thought. I faintly heard my mom and sister snickering, but they made me feel better.
And a question popped into my head that I'd never forget.
“Do I like him? And If I do...does he like me back?”
Then everything went blank.

“Daddy! Look, I found a caterpillar!”
“Huh? Good job Damian!”
“It’s so slimy!”
“Haha, it is..”
“I wanna keep him!”
“I don’t know buddy it-”
“Pwease”
“I can’t deny those puppy eyes. Ugh, fine.”
“Yay!”
---------------------------------
The thought, that last memory of my dad, I think about it when I'm down. Six years ago he went into the military. A year after he left, they came to our house. I remember the look they had, pitiful and sad and I remember telling us he went, MIA, which at the time I didn’t know what that meant but when I did, It broke me. The guitar I play was his and it holds a special place in my heart. He’d used to play it to me to help me sleep or just for fun. Those were good times. Then I realized. I’d forgotten my guitar.
