AVERY'S POV. (Is this her first POV? I wasn't paying attention lol)

I woke up again at about 4:30 am. I tried to sit up and realized Quinn was sleeping next to me with her arms around my waist. I got up careful not to wake her up, but I wasn't really worried because she sleeps like a dead person. Once I got out of the bed I waked over to where our begs were and picked up my acoustic guitar and walked downstairs. I knew I had the house to myself for a while so I decided to play my guitar downstairs. I decided I wanted to play a Taylor Swift song that I taught myself to play.

"I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now -- the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away

And we talk and window-shop
Until I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today"

I let out a big sigh, trying to keep the tears in. That song always reminded me of my own mother who, of coarse, is no longer here with me. I remember the last day I had with her.

FLASHBACK

Today I'm going to park with my mommy!!! Daddy has to work and mommy got the day off so she taking me, Gavin, Dallas and Jade to the park! Gavin is almost to big for the park, cause he's 8! I'm 6!! I turning 7 in a week! Dallas is a baby. He's only 4. Jade is big though! She's 13! That's old! Jade is my hero. She loves to take me with her when her friends go to the mall! She's teaching me to play the guitar! I can barely get my hand around the strings but that's normal right? Me and Jade look a lot a like... or that's what everyone says!! We both have curly blond hair and green eyes!! My mom says I'm a trouble maker! I'm not though!

"Avery! Let's go on the slide, come on!" I heard Jade say

I ran over to her and jumped into her arms.

"I love you, Jade!" I said randomly

"I love you more little one." She said kissing my head.
