They had arrived home safely. Tim had talked about what he learned and what he did at lunch. Mark then remembered the box that tim had and asked.

Marks pov

"Tim, where did you get that?" I asked as I noticed the box-like object again.

"Oh. Sam gave it to me. She a new student there." He smiled.

"Oh. That's nice of her." Billy politely smiled.

"Yeah. She's one of the older kids but she's really nice."

"Oh, how old is she?" I asked.

"She said she was 12." He smiled.
Huh, so Sam is either a year 7 or a year 8.

"Do you want to open it?"

"Ok!" He smiled. He sits on the couch excitedly and lifts the lid up.

"Oh, there's a note inside!" He smiled, getting the letter other of the box.

"What does it say?" Billy asked.

"Oh. You can read it." He passed me the note and i read it out loud.

To Tim

This is a present for your Pa. You told me that his birthday is coming up and i thought it would be nice to give him a early present. I hope he likes it.

From Sam.

"Well that was nice of her...i think." I said in confusion.

"Oh yeah. I talk to her alot and i told her about your birthday. She said she wanted to give you a present!" Tim cheered. That was strange. Why would one of his friends give me a present if I didn't know them?

"What's the present Timothy?" Billy asked.

"Oh uh.....oh this is pretty!" He lifted the item and we see....a ring?

"Oh, it's a green ring!" Tim smile.

"A ring? That's a bit odd." Billy raised an eyebrow at the new object.

"Well, that was...nice of her." I say in confusion. I put the ring on and, surprisingly, it fits.

"What do you think daddy?" Tim asked with a smile.

"I think it's beautiful. Your dad would've wanted-" I paused. I looked at the ring closer. For some reason I thought I heard a voice calling my name. It was soft and calm with a bit of an accent.

Mark...

No...was it...

"Pa, you ok?" Billys voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Uhhh...yeah I'm fine. Just a bit tired." I yawned out. I really was tired.

"Oh. Well come on Tim, we can play some video games."

"Oh, yay!" He smiled and ran to Billys room. Billy watched him go in before facing me.

"Are you sure you're ok, Pa?" He asked. He looked concerned with a bit of worry in his eyes.

"I'm fine, Billy. Go have fun." I assured. He smiled and went to his room.

"Don't forget your homework!" I pointed out quickly and he groaned, making me chuckle.

"Well, I guess this ring isn't bad." I smile at it. I think tomorrow, when I drop off Tim, I'll go and thank her for the ring.

I got my phone out and scrolled down on Tumbler. The normal things: Fanart, stories, pictures...the normal stuff.

There has been a few messages about Jack and I've tried to answer them politely but....it still breaks my heart that he's not here with me.

Believe me, I've looked around the town and tried to find him, but there wasn't a sight of him. It's like...he never even existed.
~~~~~~~~

I walked out of my room. I couldn't sleep and i needed a drink.... Hey, that ryhmes. Hehe.

Papa is asleep and Billy is too so I tiptoed to the kitchen and turn the lights on. I then get a cup and turn on the tap.

When the cup is full, i go to the table and sit In the chairs. It's really quiet at night, and it's really scary. As I drink my water, i look outside my window to look at the stars.

"......twinkle...twinkle litte star...how I wonder what you are." I started to sing.

"Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky, twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are~" I smile. I remember Daddy always singing this to me.....where is daddy?
~~~~~~~~

"We don't have a chose. Do we?"

"As much as I hate to admit..... We have to do this."

"Sean...feel free to kill us when we rescue you."

I wonder what's going to happen. I hope Jack is okay...I'd hate for him to get hurt...

Ka ki te ano.

Btw...this is what the ring looks like.
