"I wanna take you on a date tonight" George drove into the school parking lot, parking in his normal spot.

"But you have a game tonight" I reminded him.

"Well I know but I still want to take you on one, so what do you say" George sipped his coffee.

"I would love to go on a date with you" I took my coffee and started drinking it.

George smiled before the warning bell rang. We grabbed our bags from the back and headed to class.

"I'll see you later" George kissed my forehead and bent down so I could give him a kiss on the cheek.

I opened the door to my class and sat down in my regular seat in the back.

I zoned out for about half my class before a student came into the classroom and handed my teacher, Mrs Ruby a piece of paper.

"Vivian, the counselor needs to see you" Mrs. Ruby held out the slip of paper.

I grabbed my stuff before walking to the front of the classroom, grabbing the paper, and leaving the class. I walked down the hallway and headed to the counselors office and I couldn't stop thinking about what they needed me for.

I took a deep breath and opened the door to the counselor.

"Ah Vivian, please come sit down" my counselor, Mr. Higs gestured to the chair.

"I'm good, i'd rather stand" I looked around and saw the principal as well as the nurse and an officer there.

"What's going on?" I questioned.

"Vivian, I really hate to tell you this. Your uhm, your father died last night" Mr. Higs said.

My vision started to blur, "W-what? That can't be true. No, h-he's not dead"

"I'm afraid so, he was found in his house. It seemed someone was trying to rob him or find something" the officer explained.

"We know what had been going on at home, the Ruzeks explained to us. But since you aren't 18 yet, either the Ruzeks have to file for guardianship or you may be taken by CPS and placed in a group home" Mr. Higs said.

A second later the door to the counselors burst open and George was standing there, "Vivian, I just heard"

George wrapped his arms around me and I let out a sob into his chest.

"I'm so sorry for your loss Vivian, we will give you and George sometime" They all left the room and closed the door behind them.

"What am I going to do?!" I sobbed into George's chest.

"Shhh, it's okay. I'm going to talk to my parents. Everything is going to be okay baby" he kissed my forehead and wiped my tears.

"Want to go home?" George asked, running his fingers in my hair.
