Yep, This is indeed Episode 8 :D

I looked at myself in the mirror. "I can't do this." I whispered. I felt nauseated at the thought. But, I have no choice, I had already agreed to this. I straightened my black leather jacket. I heard the door bell ring, I looked at the bathroom door, I glanced back at the mirror, looking at myself.
I then walked downstairs and answered the door. "Hey." I said. Daniel smiled wide.
"Hey." I grabbed my sneakers and put them on.
"Bye!" I shouted and heard my mom say a quick 'bye'. I got into the car to see Mary, RJ, JC and Gaby already in it. "Hey guys." I said. They greeted me back.

We turn the corner and there I saw the Centrium. I tried to control my shaky hands. Daniel parked the car and we all got out and walked towards the Centrium. I swallowed hard as I walked inside. Smelling the all-to-familiar smell. Daniel grabbed my hand and I looked at him.
"it's okay Kath." He said. I nodded and faked a smile. We got to our seats and I looked at the ice rink and saw my dad's face play in my mind. I looked down immediately.
"My god, Kathryn did you see that picture of Dylan!? It so hilarious!" Mary exclaimed laughing so hard I thought she was gonna pee herself. I faked another smile.
The lights when out and the crowd roared in "Woo's!". My breathing deepened, my stomach twisted in anxiety. My palms began to get clammy and my legs shook. I swallowed hard. I watched as the game began, the skates scraping against the ice.
Then I heard the loud slap shot. I saw the puck go flying and hit my dad square in the chest. He slipped and slid across the ice, a large yelp escaping his dry lips. I could hear 14-year-old-me running and screaming "daddy!" I could see him laying on the ice as I stood above him, he was lifeless.
"Kathryn." I heard I looked over to see Mary looking at me. "Are you okay?" She asked, by now, Daniel, JC, RJ and Gaby were all looking at me. I forced a smile and nodded.
I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Yeah." They still stared at me. "I'm okay, really." I assured them. They all looked at me suspiciously then refocused on the game. Daniel turned back to me.
"are you sure you're okay?" Mary asked, still looking at me. "I mean, we're taking you to a hockey game after....." She trailed off.
"I'm okay, Mary." I lied. I didn't know who I was lying to, me or her. She nodded and we both looked back to the game. I winced hearing another slap shot.
Finally the game was over. "That game was amazing!" JC exclaimed. They all agreed, I looked to the left where I saw the ambulance and my Dad lying on the gurney (sp?). I blinked away the memory when I felt someone's hand in mine.
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked, I looked down at our hands and remembered the others were still here.
"Yeah." I lied again.
