i sit on the couch and watch tv. joey isn't here because he went to church with his family. he said that his mom said that he needed more "family time" than "girlfriend time"

i mean which in all is fine. we're with each other all the time so i can see where she's coming from, but i just wish she said that after mckenna left.

mckenna has been here for two days and it's a living hell. i apologized to my mom and she just told me to keep my nerves on the low. like i'm going to do that.

but no, dylan and mckenna are staying here for the whole week. and mckenna has to share my room with me and dylan sleeps mathew's old room! i don't even sleep in there, i sleep in sams room because sarah's old bed is still in there.

as i stare at the tv, i feel the couch pillow sink in. i look over and see mckenna sitting there.
"what?" i say, while looking back at the tv.

"what happened to us? to our friendship? you haven't talked to me in two days." she complains.

"why should i?" i asked. i've been losing my temper lately, i need to calm down.

"what do you mean?" she asked.

i rolled my eyes, "whatever." i got up from the couch and walked over to the door. "i'm going on a walk."

i slipped on my slides and walked out the door, not giving a care in the world. luckily, i have on my sweatshirt so the cold air of early february isn't going to bother me.

i decided to go to the neighborhood park. me and joey came here once before we started dating.

it's weird how we instantly clicked. we started of as close friends and somehow he turned into my boyfriend. we tell each other everything, it's funny how strong our trust is.

i sit on the swing where i sat the last time and swung myself a little.

i wonder what would joey do without me. he puts all effort and something could easily happen to me, or him.

mom told me that there's a possible chance that my lung could give up since i stopped taking my medication for a week once. i stopped taking it when joey and i "broke up" because i was literally depressed as hell. i'm supposed to take it everyday.

but the chances are really low so i don't have anything to worry about. but if it gives up, then i'm gone unless i get a transplant.

i'm not really the "depressed" type of person. i'm always happy and full of energy, only if something really bad happens then i shut down.

valentine's day is soon, in fact in a week. i still don't know what to get joey. what about a book that's like the story about how we got together? or what about those envelopes that say "open when? i don't really know, heck i have no idea what's he getting me.

on my birthday, i'm getting my license. i was supposed to get it last year but i couldn't bc i spent my birthday in the hospital. so i'm getting it at 17 now.

as i was sitting on the swings, i saw a boy walking his dog. he looked around my age, tall, black curly hair with green.

he saw me looking at him and smiled as he waved. i soft smiled back at him and waved back.

he walked over to me with his dog. i didn't even ask for him to come over but okay, "hi." he said.

"hi." i looked down at his dog, it was a little pug, "your dog is so cute, what's its name."

"her name is daisy" he said smiling down at daisy. he looked back up at me and licked his lips, "what's yours?"

"what's your name?" i asked.

"i asked first." he said

"you came over here first." i say with a smart tone.

"jack, jack ryin." his teeth were perfectly white. he looked like a model just by his posture.

"i'm anna." i told him, "are you new to the neighborhood?"

he shook his head, "yeah i just moved friday. it's a nice neighborhood. when did you move here?"

"late september." i said.

"really? from where? i moved from florida. we got tired of the hot weather all the time, wanted to switch it up a bit." he chuckled.

"i move from san francisco, i'm still getting used to the weather." i said, chuckling as well.

"yeah." he changed the subject, "do you go to spring mills high school or rockland woods high school?"

"spring mills. rockland is too far, plus there's no bus stop." i said.

"i'm going to spring mills." he says.

welp i guess i got a new friend.
