I giggled softly as I pretended to look around for Jack. "I wonder where Jack is. Is he under this rock?" I picked up the small rock and sighed. "Guess he's not here" I heard him giggle under the slide. I slowly walked over to where he hid and yelled, "found ya!" He started giggling uncontrollably as he ran over and hugged me really tight. After he calmed down he whispered. "You're the best, sista' ever, B" I hugged him back before saying, "I know"

After our little sibling moment we ran around playing tag. I ran up the playground stairs to the top of the slide. "Aha, caught you!" Jack was running toward me but then he slipped and before I knew it he was dangling off the railing. If he let go, he would fall down to the bottom and get really hurt– or worse die.

"Ah! B help me!" He cried out, scared. I ran over towards him, but before I could reach him I couldn't continue it was like something was pulling me back from him, but there was nothing there to pull me back. After a while of struggling and trying to reach out to Jack, I gave up. I watched as the little boy looked at me with disappointed, scared eyes. Tears fell down his chubby cheeks. "How could you?" he whispered before he couldn't hold on any longer and he fell down to the bottom.

"Jack!" I yelled and finally the invisible force let me go, but it was already too late. I looked down to see Jack on the cement ground in a starfish position but one of his knees was snapped in a weird position which gave me the hint that it snapped in half, and blood gushed out of his head. I ran down the stairs down to Jack. I held him close to me and violently sobbed. "I-it's all my f-fa-fault" I stuttered. "How could you?" Jack took his last breath before finally dying in my arms.

"Jack!" I yelled as I rose up from my bed. I looked around and saw that Myyah, and the boys looked at me with concern. Marley on my bed looking terrified. "Are you okay?" Myyah asked, concern clear in her voice. "No" I whispered before I blew up into a crying mess. Everyone rushed over to me bringing me into a big embrace. "It's all my fault" I whispered, over and over and over again.

It has been a week since Jack cut me out of his life. It's been 6 days since I've had the nightmare about Jack. And it's been 4 days since I've talked to anyone other than Marley who is now taking school at HES – Horizon Elementary School. "Becca I need help with my homework" Marley climbed on my bed before pulling out a worksheet that had addition problems written on it. Only 5 thankfully.

"Okay first problem. What's eleven plus eight. Okay let's go right to left. One plus eight is?" I looked over at Marley who's counting on her fingers, "it's nine" she smiled up at me. "Good, now what's one plus zero"

"That's easy. One plus zero is one" I smiled at her before giving her a high five. "Good job" I kissed the top of her head as she wrote down nineteen messily. We finished the other problems rather quickly. "Thanks Becca" she put away her now finished homework and took out another paper. "Here. Can you sign this. I really want to go to the field trip to the zoo" she gave me the permission slip hesitantly. "Can I please go" she quietly begged.

"You don't even have to ask Marley. I want you to have fun and have a happy school year so, yeah, of course" I signed my name, Marley's name, the date, and my phone number just in case of any emergency. "How much money do I have to give for you can go?" I asked. "Forty dollars" she mumbled. She looked down. "I know it's a lot to ask for, but please. It's just my new friend doesn't have enough money to pay so I was hoping you can ple-" I cut her off. "Of course baby girl" I went over to my drawer and pulled out two twenty dollar bills from the drug deal Myyah did on Friday.

"Thank you so much, Becca" she jumped on me giving the biggest hug ever. "Anything for you, Marley" she ran off with everything, happily going to her newly made room, which took 2 days to make. I'm not spoiling Marley, I say no sometimes because I don't want to spoil her completely and also I want her to that money is earned and that it doesn't just come magically to me, and everyone because we all put a lot of our time and money on Marley.

I heard my phone go off indicating that someone has texted me. I grabbed it from my table side. I looked at who it was and smiled. Reading the message over and over again.

Dick: Hey Becca. Do you want 2 meet up @ the park down at trophy Ave. ?

Me: When you fix all your grammar and shit in that sentence.

Dick: WDYM?

Me: -_-

Dick: Fine, fine. Hey, Becca. Do you want to meet up at the park down at Trophy Avenue?

Me: Sure. See you there in 20?

Dick: Sure. Bye, beautiful x

Me: Bye, dick x

I smiled at the text messages before getting up to get ready quickly. I picked out black ripped skinny jeans, with a light grey sweater which had Hakuna Matata in Disney print letters. And my white Adidas Orignal superstar sneakers.  Yes I like explaining how I look to myself, problem?

I went into the bathroom and put on a little bit mascara and Chapstick before heading downstairs. "You going out?" Taylor asked. Everyone was at the house today. I looked around for Marley and found her. She sat on Carter's lap. Playing with his fingers. I took out my phone and took a picture before nodding my head over to Taylor. "Be careful" Myyah said, worried. I nodded again before grabbing my keys and heading off to the dick. Who's also known as the guy I'm starting to hopelessly fall for.
