I decided in the early of the morning to take a nice walk in the simply splendid weather.

I quickly slipped my tennis shoes on and grabbed my earbuds and phone.

I walked on the sidewalk pondering on a different and better life. I wondered how different life would be if my mom was alive. When my mother died at the age of ten, most nights I cried myself to sleep and replayed a recording of her voice. It had been a recording of her singing me a lullaby and telling me how much she loved me.

I still listen to it. I know I should move on but I can't. It's too hard and my mother was far too important to be forgotten just like that.

Last night I caught my father with another woman. I can't believe he's already found another woman. Is he dating her? Is she a one night stand?

I didn't know. All I knew was that I felt betrayed in a way.

I kept walking down the street until I saw Kol walking up the sidewalk. Any minute now he would lift his head up and see me. I decided to start running and made my way past him until he tugged on my arm.

I pulled away and took out my ear buds.

He smiled at me and someone hit me in the back of my head and there was nothing but darkness.
