Dinner was rather quiet. Rayson talked a little bit about his job which I got bored of so I half listened to it. I'm back in my room now. Opening the box from the other room that seemed to have belonged to my dad. Inside were a few photos. Old photos when he was kid. I looked at them. I realized which one was dad and which one was Rayson. Then there were a few other pictures of him being a teen with a few friends. I only know one of those friends who became my god father. The rest disappeared out of my dad's life. Why? I saw three other pictures of him surfing. Which I really would like to burn right now. I gritted my teeth. Then there was a picture that I'm guessing he took. It was a picture of the ocean with a shark fin poking out of the water. My father wanted me to become a surfer like him a pro. But I don't ever see that happening. I don't even like the river or the lake. Why? Because of what happened five-years ago when I was ten. I'm fifteen now. I put the box under the bed and seeing that I still have jet lag I brushed my teeth then I took of my pants and shirt and went under the covers and closed my eyes.

My dad was dancing with my mom they were happy. Just dancing next to a pond.

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

It was a beautiful pond. My dad looked at me. I was ten

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

When sooner or later it's over

My dad stopped dancing and was walking away. He didn't turned around he didn't stop. My mom and I followed him.

I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

We followed him till we reached the ocean. I was blocked by something, "Dad don't go!" I shouted at him. Trembling. He didn't turn around he just walked further into the ocean. I tried to stop him but something held me back and I couldn't go after him. "Dad!"

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

He went in further. All I could do was watch. Watch him disappear.

When everything feels like the movies

Disappearing in the ocean. I gritted my teeth and turned to see where mom was. She was gone too. They left me alone by myself. Mother you were never there for me after dad died. Why? I needed you the most when no one else was there for me. But instead you run away from me like I was a disease.

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

Shut up! You stupid song. Why are you in my dream anyways? Maybe because I listened to you two days ago probably. Its making me depressed right now so please stop.

Oh and this dream isn't? Somebody called out. I look up it was the sun talking.

What kind of freaking strange dream is this?
