Sarah:
Blake is going home tonight so Cole and I took Molly and Blake to the arcade. We let them go off by themselves because they have their phones. I'm watching Cole play a game right now. I never realized how Cole made me feel when I was around him. When we look at each other my heart melts and i could feel the connection between our eyes. His smile makes him stand out like no other. When he holds me close to him all I can do is want to be with him forever, the connection we have is so unbearable, I can barely be without him.
"Sarah look I won!" Cole yelled waking me up from my thoughts.
I smiled and he went up behind me and whispered in my ear which sent chills down my body causing me to shiver, but I never could make out what he whispered.
"Good job." I laughed and gave him a high five not wanting to let go of his hand.
Something was going to happen between us and we weren't ready so I rushed off to find Molly and Blake. They were playing pac rat. I sighed and left them alone and went back to get drinks for me and Cole. I walked over to the food stand and there he was. David was sitting down at the table directly in front of me. I looked around for my mom and anxiety rushed through me.
"Sarah?!" I heard him call.
Before he could say anything else I ran off to go get Molly, Blake, and Cole.
Molly:
I was playing games with Blake at the arcade before he had to go home. I was so happy because Sarah and Cole let us go play games by ourselves while they did whatever...
"Woah! Dang Molly that's your fifth time winning a game!"Blake yelled interrupting my thoughts.
I just smiled and we went to play another game. We played four more games before Sarah and Cole ran over to us. Sarah grabbed my sleeve and Cole and Blake followed confused, but never asked. When we finally got to Cole's truck we were all breathing heavily.
"Why...did you...do that?" I asked between breaths.
Cole started driving and Sarah said, "David was there."
"What!?" I yelled and stared at Sarah.
I can't believe David's here. I can't believe Sarah saw him. I can't believe Sarah saw him at the arcade! Why would he be at the arcade? Stupid questions! Why can't you just know the answer to the questions that you ask yourself. Ugh!
"Did he see you?" I asked hoping that she would say no.
"Yes." Sarah said with her 'I don't want to talk about it' voice.
We sat the rest of the way in silence. Sarah seeing David made me the think of mom. What has mom been doing? Is she having fun or worrying about us? She loved us so much when we were little and dad was still here. Does she have nightmares about what could have happened to us? What can happen to us? I wonder how she is. Now that I think about her I really miss her. I really miss dad. I really miss the fun things we did with mom and dad.
I just realized that Blake has his arm around me and i laid my head on his shoulder. Then I see Sarah and Cole holding hands. Then I feel tears on my cheeks, but I don't want this moment to end. Why does every second have to end? Why does every minute have to end? Why does every hour have to end? Why does every month? Year? Century? Have to end?
Sarah:
I was still shocked at who I just saw. I really hope he didn't tell mom, that wouldn't end well. I could tell Molly was thinking about it but I didn't say anything it would have made it worse. I watched Cole as he was focused on the road. I smiled just thinking about him as he concentrated on driving. I lingered a little too long staring at him and he saw me in the corner of his eye and turned to look at me and a smile appeared on his face. He wiped the tear off my face and i didn't even know I was crying. He kissed the top of my head which made my breathing stop. His lips brushed up against my head and I felt tingles rush through my body. He saw the redness in my cheeks, smiled, then focused back on the road. We dropped Blake off and Molly waved bye and smiled. We drove home in silence till Cole asked Molly something.
"My friends little brother is having a party on Friday maybe I can take you and Blake." He said looking over at me.
"What kind of party?" I asked
He laughed at me, "Sarah its just a party, they will stay in the kids section, it'll be fine."
I looked at Molly with her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." I said.
Molly:
We just got home so now I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I can hear Sarah saying goodbye to Cole because he's finally going home. I can't wait until Friday. Blake and I are going to go to Cole's friend brother's party. I still can't stop thinking about mom. I mean seriously I haven't seen anything about lost kids in newspapers or on tv or anything. I think mom already forgot about us and moved on. Sarah might have made the right choice about leaving her and David.
