"Later Breanne love you" my dad shouted as he walked out the door. I didn't bother replying as I sunk my teeth into my slice of pizza. My father has been leaving everyday but I decided not to question at least he bought me pizza right?

I sat merrily eating my box of pizza when there was a loud bang on the door. "Breanne, open up!" the familiar voice yelled through the door.

"Stop banging on the door Valery!" I shouted walking over to the door. As soon as I flung the door open Valery dragged me out of my house running until we stopped at the end of the drive way.

"What in the actual-" I began but I was cut off.

"Aaron!" she yelled. Once I turned around I see Aaron grinning and walking in our direction.

"Hey" he waves.

"I was going to my Grandma's house and I just saw him coming out of his house and I decided that we should hang out here since your dad is always gone" Valery smiled.

"I was in the middle of my pizza" I mumble as I lead them into my house.

"Nice place" Aaron says observing the place. "I guess, thanks" I reply.

"Oh pizza" Valery squeals. "Don't you dare touch my pizza!" I growl and surprised looks are shot my way. "Sorry" Valery mumbles.

We pass through the kitchen and into the backyard. Valery and I run straight to the chair swing and Aaron is left with a baffled look on his face.

"Wait," Aaron begins, "where is your mom? You know when your dad is gone?"

I look at the ground.

A A R O N

"She died" Breanne mumbled. "In a car accident her car was pushed off of a bridge and the person or people who did it paid for the funeral and stuff but they never revealed themselves"

No, I thought, it couldn't have been her mom.

A few years ago, my parents were going through tough times, mom was cheating and dad found out and he wasn't too happy. Dad attempted to get the guy back but he got the wrong person, a woman named Amber.

"What was your mother's name?" I ask. She looks up at me confused and then glances at Mallory. "Amber, Amber Coast" she says as a flash of sadness swim through her eyes.

No Dad! Why?

I was finishing my homework upstairs as I heard dad begin to yell. "This wouldn't have happened if you weren't being such a sl-"

"Don't you dare pin this on me Jared, this one is all on you! You always have to win something! You're never satisfied!" mom yells back.

"I'm never satisfied? Me? And this is coming from the woman who cheated on her husband"

"Just fix it Jared!"

"Aaron, you okay?" Mallory asked. "Yeah, I'm fine"  I answered with a lie.

I was not okay, my father killed Breanne's mother. How can I keep this secret from her when I'm practically falling head over heals for her?
