I grabbed my headphones and the house keys from my dresser. I put on a sweater, cause I know it was probably a little chilly outside. It was the middle of fall. Which is my second favorite season after spring. The weather was always perfect during them two season. I walked outside and locked the door behind me. I started walking down the street walking toured the store. I grabbed my headphones and plugged them in my phone and turned it up all the way so I could block out the noises around me. My favorite song began to play as I sung along to myself "like my fathers come to past, seven years have gone so fast" I said feeling myself tearing up. I sang the rest "wake me up when September ends" as a tear feel down my face. I haven't listened to this song in a while I would always skip it when it came on. I used to listened to this song everyday for the past two years after my father passed away. I miss him so much. I shocked the thoughts out of my head and changed the song. The store was just around the corner. Just as I was about to turn the corner, I looked down real quick and just then I walked into someone and fell on the ground hitting my head. "Ouch next time watch wer..." I started to say as I looked up.
"I'm so sorry about that" the boy said as he got up and held out his hand for me to take. I didn't know what to do. I was too shocked. There he was again, the boy from my dreams. I held out my hand slowly. He grabbed it and helped me up from the ground. "Hey I know who you are. Your that girl who fainted in class today" he said looking away as if he said something wrong. It made my heart flutter. That's adorable I thought to myself. "Yeah that's me" I said, looking down trying to breath. Why was I acting so shy, I never was like this with any other boy, but then again this boy in front of me was different. He cleared he throat which made me realize how quiet it got. "Um.. well I got to go, I've gotta go and pick up my siblings from school soon. I'll see you tomorrow.. um I never got your name. I'm amber by the way" I said looking him in the face as I started to blush because he was looking me straight in the eyes. "I'm Vic" he said blushing looking away. We said our goodbyes and we walked off in the opposite direction of each other. As the rest of the day dragged on, he was the only thing on my mind.
As I went into my room and started getting ready for bed there was a knock on my door. "Sweety amber, can I come in" I heard my mom say. I went and open the door. "Yes mom, how may I help you" I chuckled to myself realizing how silly I sounded. "How are you feeling? If your not feeling better, you can stay home tomorrow." She said looking at me all worried like. "Mom I'm fine, I have to get up early, because I have to walk to school. Since I had to leave my car in the school parking lot." I said sighing. I hated walking even tho school was only like 30 minutes away from my house."sorry hunny, you know how much I worry about you guys. I don't want to lose you to.." she was saying when she stopped and looked at the floor with a sad face."I miss him too mom" I said grabbing her into a hug.
She hugged me back and then walked out the room."goodnight mom" I whispered feeling the tears in my eyes. I closed my door and laid in my bed. I wasn't about to let this get to me. So I started thinking about what happened today. A huge smile played across my face. I finally knew his name. Vic and, he was such as handsome in person as he was in my dreams. I wonder what his last name was. Maybe Gonzalez, Amber Gonzalez.. I started thinking what his last name could be as I started to drift of into sleep.
**** "DADDY! DADDY! come on let's go!" I said excitedly. I heard a deep chuckle from behind me. "Hold on Bambi" I heard my dad say as I grabbed his hand pulling him down the street. I love going to the park with him. My favorite part is when he would watch me go down the slide and catch me. My dad would always catch me and then spin me around in the air. I felt like I was flying. Then he would push me on the swing. Then we would go for walks thru the forest around the park. "Its time to go home for dinner darling" my dad said as I began to protest. He picked me up and put me on his shoulders. We started walking home and were almost there.
We had just turned the corner onto our street, when all of a sudden I hear a loud skidding noise. By this time my dad had already took me off his shoulders. I just stood there looking at what made the noise and that's when I realize a car was speeding, heading right for me. I felt two strong hands grab me and I looked up at my dad trying to get out of the way. It was to late the car had hit us. I just remember laying there in my dads arm. Looking at his bloody face and him not moving. I started screaming "DADDY! DADDY! Wake up" when all of a sudden everything went black.****
I jumped up out of my nightmare terrified. I hadn't had that dream for months. I always blamed myself for my fathers death. If only I didn't just stand there like a fool. He would still be here. "Sorry daddy" I said starting to cry. I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon.
