After finishing yet four more chapters of my ordered book, A Long Way Down, I close the book and getting up from my vanity chair there's a knock at my door, and I opened it to see my dad. " Hey, Dad. Did you need anything? I was just finishing up some homework." I said with a smile.
He smiles back at me . " I actually came up here to tell you that Marissa and her dad are here wanna. Wanna come down and say hi? It's been a long while since I last saw them."

Tyler nodded, smiling. " We found it pretty easily. It's not too far from where my sister lives." He says as they walked into the living room.
Nicholas goes to the kitchen. " You a drinker Tyler? Kiddo why don't you show Marissa here your room and keep your door open." Nicholas said handing Tyler a beer.

Marissa took her backpack and coat, placing it at the edge of my bed. She admired the posters and framed pictures on my vanity. " It looks beautiful in here.

She says with a slight smirk, getting up and leaning against my vanity.

I smiled as my cheeks turned bright red, I put my hand on top of hers. " I missed you too, but We can't. The door has to stay open; my dad has ears like a cat."
Marissa lets out a playful sigh, Before noticing a slightly cracked framed picture of me, my mom and dad on the vanity. it looks like an old family photo from a Christmas card photoshoot. She picked it up. "Why is this one cracked, matter a fact, I don't see any photos of your mom downstairs either.' she asked furrowing her eyebrows.
