I smile as I wake up in the morning. Morning sunshine sleeps through my black curtains. I walk over and turn on my record player and start to dance to the music. It's been about 3 months since Annie died and I was starting to become happy again.
I was starting to feel okay
I change into some comfortable winter clothes. I slide on my black timberlands and walk out the door.
I head over to the park and start to listen to my music as I watch birds play on the patches of snow. The bare trees dull and lifeless. I sit on the park bench and start to read my book. I feel
Two hands wrap around my eyes from behind.
I giggle knowing it's Ethan.
"Grayson is that you" I ask jokingly
Ethan moves his hands and comes around to sit next to me. He gives a weird look
'Why the fuck would I be Grayson?' He signs to me
I laugh
"Aww are you jealous sweetheart" I say cupping his face
'I mean he is a handsome devil if I say so myself' he says leaning back complimenting his identical twin
I laugh a playfully punch his arm. Me and Ethan talk about my book and ended up on the conversation of the winter formal. I started talking about how I wanted to wear a silver dress and him a matching tie.
After what seems like five minutes turned into 2 hours we decided to get up and go get some hot chocolate. We walk along side the road, the snow crunching under our feet. Ethan laughs at me as I jump onto snow patches. We get to the cafe and I order as Ethan looks for somewhere to sit.
We sit down at the back and start to talk some more. I feel someone standing next to me. I turn my head to see my dad standing there. His eyes bloodshot. He was crying or he was high.
"Allison Honey-" I interrupt him
"No stay away from me." I get up and start to walk away
"Allison " he grasps onto my arm but I pull it out of his grasp.
We were outside now
"Just leave me alone. I'm done with you." I say trying to walk away again. Ethan rushed out and stood behind my bad as I talked to him
"Allison please. I miss you and your mom. Im getting better. I just want to come home" he says taking a step closer to me
I back away. Ethan was beside me now holding onto me gently
"Who are you?" He asks Ethan
"He's my boyfriend" I say sassily placing my hand on my hip
"Who said you could have a boyfriend" my dad says getting angrier
"I don't care honestly. Your not my dad anymore. You can't tell me what to do. You're dead to me" I say with tears falling down my face now.
My dad doesn't say anything else. His eyes loose the little bit of hope in them. He gives me a sad smile and a nod before turning around and walking away.
