Anna's POV
It's been 2 days since I found out about Dani's death. Since then I haven't slept or showered. I was basicly just a human zombie. The only things I have done are sleep, cry, and eat greek yogurt. I haven't been talking to anyone, except the occasional text from Faith or Claire just to check in and see how I as doing. Those normally lasted 5 minutes or less.
Mom, Dad, or Liam would normally come in and check on me from time to time. Since Amber was only 2, she really didn't know what was going on.
"Hey, we are going to go out to eat at Applebees. Do you wanna come?" Liam asked me.
"Yeah. It's better than staying here and doing nothing." I said back to him.
"Ok. Be ready to go in an hour."
The reasons I'm going is cause, we are out of yogurt and I need some really food in me. In that hour I was given, I showered, straightened my hair, and changed into some jeans and my school hoodie.
AtApplebees
When we got to Applebees, we were able to get a table fairly quickly. Once we all ordered, I could tell something was off. The silence was akward, nobody would look anybody in the eyes. Just then, Amber decided it would be a good idea to say "I need potty!!!" We were all laughing. Thank god, that happened otherwise I thought I would have exploded. Mom takes Amber to the bathroom. When they come back our food is here and we all dig in.
We all started making conversation while eating. Once we were done, we decided to go to the park that wasn't to far from the restaurant. It was a beautiful night. We got to the park just in and when I say that I mean it. I thought I was gonna strangle someone because they would shut up.
Mom and Dad went to walk the track which left Amber, Liam, and I to find something to do. We all went to the swings. Amber in the baby swing with Liam pushing her and me in the other.
"How are you doing with what has happened?" Liam asked me, out of the blue.
"Ok, I guess. This is probably the most fun I have had since the news. And the most I have smiled in a while." I said.
"Good."
From then on we were there in silence just listening to the giggles that were coming from Amber.
