I woke up to John crying next to my bed. "What's wrong John...?" I asked sitting up. He looked at me and sobbed. "I-I had a dream about my past..." I patted his head and pulled him to into a hug. "Itll be alright. I'm here for you bud." I said trying to comfort him up a bit. He nodded and wiped his tears away. "I miss him..." John said and left. I shook my head and went into the bathroom washing my face and taking a bath. I feel so bad for John knowing that his father was always a nice man... And yet, John has always been a nice boy even though I knew. Yep. I knew he was a terrible child back then. But its okay now. Because he has learned his mistakes and fixed them. For the better.

I got out of the shower a while later as we went to a park, Dirk kept me in charge of watching over Dave and John. I know I was watching them closely, but when I glanced to where Dave was just standing, he was gone. Damn, where did he go? "John, where's Dave ?" He shrugged frowning. "Somewhere..." He said as if it solved everything. We looked for Dave everywhere. Then that moment. That one moment changed everything. Dirk walked over and frowned. "Dave fell off of a tree and broke his arm." M ly eyes widened. Oh no. He hates me doesn't he. "Dirk, is he okay?!" I worryingly asked. "I don't want to hear that. I love my bro so much. Good luck finding another way to Texas." He walked away and went to the place where Dave was with other people. I was speechless. I know I was keeping an eye on him. What did I do wrong...?

John hugged me. "How are we going to get back to Texas now? And how will I be able to hang out with Dave?" I was still speachless. I couldn't find the words. Dirk hated me. All because of something I didn't do. I slammed my hand down to the side of concrete and whimpered. I picked my phone up, dialed Jane and Roxy's phone number, and spoke. My voice was all shakey though . "Can I h-have a ride...?"

We were picked up by them later and they drove towards Texas. It took a long time. John laid his head down on my lap as I looked out the window and cried. Roxy and Jane comforted me along the way. Dirk fucking hated me. He didn't like me anymore . So what's the meaning anymore? Then I remembered. "Love is a very strong word my dear. There are many ups and downs to it." I finally stopped crying. That's right. This is just one of the downs. So I know. I just know. It'll get better. Because there's always tomorrow. And tomorrow you could fix anything. Even though it doesn't go right, there's always another day.
