Two weeks have gone by, and I haven't heard a word from my father. I guess that he really is gone. I haven't told anyone yet, not even Derik.
My life has been going on as usual, well except for a few things. Dating Derik has came with some perks. I feel like everywhere I go people notice me. Random people who usually never speak to me, smile and say hi. Derik walks me to class every chance he gets. I sit with him at the senior table at lunch. Derik and I have been on a few more dates, but we haven't slept together anymore. Also I'm not just dating Derik anymore, I'm his girlfriend.
My friends found out that I'm dating Derik, they aren't upset like I thought they would be, they are happy for me. I didn't tell them that we had sex, of course because they would freak.
I have also found out that my demons have been talking less and less. I haven't cut myself in awhile. I feel like the weight of the world is getting lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I was drowning, but now I'm coming to the surface. I feel almost free.
