" Hey babe, go get us a seat so long." my boyfriend , Liam, told me as he kissed my forehead when we met for lunch.

I grab our usual spot after departing from my group. " Hey Ads, what are you eating?" Emma asks as she  grabs my green apple rom my tray.

"Hands off bitch" I joke with her.

Emma was wearing her long mouse brown hair in a French braid with her usual high-waisted white wash booty shorts with my supergirl hoodie and her white high top converse. Me on the other hand I was wearing my black skinny jeans, beige tank top and my beach sandals.

"I love you." Liam said just before he walked away from my front yard

I woke up in tears. I kept on having dreams about him, and that day.  I pick my phone up and check the time. Great. I woke up at five a.m. might as well get done. I stand up, but stumble a bit, I try again and this time I succeed. EW I look like a troll. My hair is knotty and looks like I have a family of birds nesting there, I have dried spit on the side of my mouth and I have sleep in the corner of my eyes. Don't even get me started on my morning breath.

I finally unpacked my boxes so my room looks decent. Walking into my walk-in cupboard and look for what I'm going to wear today. Dress no. Bra definitely. Panty yip. I need those socks. I'll take my jeans and my hoodie and my converse. Turning the shower on I shiver as the metal button touches my warm finger. Ugh I wanna go back to my old home, to my old life with my daddy.

Banishing that thought and all the memories I step into the shower. The force of the water combined with the heat feels so good on my tense muscles. Ten minutes pass. After washing my body and washing my hair I pull my towel off of the basin and dry my legs off then wrap the towel tightly around myself.

After getting dressed I check the time. 6:17am. Fanfreakingtastic. I sit on the edge of my bed and pick up the photo frame. My heart stops for a moment, there's a lump in my throat, I feel the tears starting to rise in the corner of my eyes. It's the last picture that we have of him. My dad. I take it all in. His heart shaped face. Those warm hazel eyes that have laugh lines surrounding them. His wide comforting smile. My brother and I hugging him. Mom hugging all of us.

By now my face is warm and wet from the tears. I miss him so much.

Not surprising that Alec is already popular. When we got to school he was ambushed by girls as I just awkwardly walked around them.

Kara is running towards me. " HEY GIRLFRIEND" she  screeches in my ears as she hugs me.

"Kara shut up"

"Oops sor-what's wrong" She puts her hand on my shoulder.

"It's the anniversary of my dads death, it's been six years since we got the news "

"Oh I'm so sorry..."

" It's fine lets just get this day over and done with."

                                                                                  ~~~

The day seemed to drag on. Every time Alec saw me in the corridors he would look away and Kara looked at me with such pity. A look I received many times before. The week we went back to school; the funeral, you get the picture.
