Friday finally ended, now we have six weeks off. I already had my first two weeks planned. I had Elliot and Lilly staying over for the first week, Rani was probably staying as well.

Then second week, I was staying with Luke for two nights and then with Rani the rest. You can probably tell already that my dad doesn't give two fucks about where I am.

I had the day to myself on Saturday. I was kind of bored. Its weird not being out with friends, like I usually am.

I stayed in bed until ten, I finally got sick of looking at the wall. I went down stairs, to grab a drink of water. Surprisingly my dad was sitting at the bench talking to the maid.

I sat down next to him, curious of what he was doing. "Why aren't you at work?" I asked. He looked at me "Your mother passed away last night, she didn't want you invited to her funeral"

I was taken back by what he just said. "Why?" I bit my lip. "She didn't really die from cancer, it was a drug overdose. She doesnt want you to think that what she did was right"

I sighed, a thought came to my head. "Did she ever really love me?" I waited for an answer patiently. "When she wasn't on the drugs she did, but that was rarely. When she was on the drugs, she didn't love anything or anyone, other than her drugs."

I looked down, I couldn't cry about this. Not if my mother never loved me. "Was she even my real mother?" I looked down, no more questions Dakota. "Dakota, your mother is your real mother. She wasn't on drugs when she gave birth to you, it was only when you were three, she started taking them."

I stood up, I had to leave. There were so many questions I wanted to ask, too many. I looked at my dad then at Nina, "Im going to meet someone down at the mall." I forced a smile and went upstairs.

I had texted Rani to go to the mall with me, but she couldn't. I tried Georgia, Minnie and Lucy. But none of them were available. I sat in the malls best coffee shop, alone.

It was kind of sad being alone, but at least it wasn't for too long. I was startled by someone pulling me out of my seat and into a hug. I couldn't figure out who it was, not until I inhaled the sweet scent of his deodorant. It was Elliot.

I smiled and hugged him back. I pulled away and made room for him to sit. "How did you find me?" I asked. He replied with a half smile "I went to your house, but your dad told me about your mum and that you went to the mall. I remember this is your favourite place to go, so I figured you'd be here."

He smiled, I couldn't help but smile back. We were interrupted by the waitress "Can I get you something?" she smiled, mainly at Elliot. "Yeah, two choc caramel milkshakes please" Elliot smiled at me again. He remembered my favourite drink as well.

"Is that all? How bout something to eat?" the waitress hung around for what felt like forever. Elliot shook his head, I did as well, though the waitress only showed interest in Elliot.

She left and we both laughed. "She seemed mesmerised by you Elliot, did you take hypnosis classes?" I smirked and he shook his head "I don't actually, just my luck" he bit his lip "she should give up, I don't consider myself available."

Shit, he had a girlfriend. Hah, just my luck. If you give something up, Dakota, you're never gonna get it back. Elliot's not mine and he never will be, get over it.

"Im sorry about your mother, Dakota" he looked down. "It doesn't matter, she didn't have to be dead but she wanted to" I sighed. He looked back up "I guess sometimes, things happen for the better. Even if it includes, uh, death".

His words made me feel sad. He was right, I hung my head, staring down at my hands. His fingers lifted up my chin, he bit his lip. "Don't worry about it, a lot of people are out there for you."

The waitress came back with our drinks. "I hope you enjoy" she smiled at Elliot one last time and left. I looked down at his serviette and smiled. "She left her number" I said, he looked down at the serviette and rolled his eyes. "Thirsty"

After we finished our drinks, we left the shop and went for a walk. Elliot wanted me to follow him, though he didn't tell me where we were going.

He finally stopped. I remembered where we were, almost instantly. It was the best day of my life, this is where the best day of my life took place.

I sat down in the swing. It was a small playground, no one ever went to it. I sat on this swing on that day. I remember every moment of it.

Then something happened. Déjà vu. Elliot walked over to me, he sat on the swing next to me. We swung for a while, then he stopped. He looked at me "You know what Im going to say, Dakota?" I frowned, this cant be happening.

Elliot asked me out here, when we were in year 7. It was the happiest time ever. I remember the way his face lit up when I said yes.

He smiled "You do," he paused and held my hand "Dakota Rose Willams, would you like to go out with me, give me another chance?" He looked at me.

I squeezed his hand, this could be a good decision or a terrible one. "Elliot Peter James, I would love to go out with you." He grabbed my other hand and pulled me onto his lap, so I was facing him. He smiled "I've missed this" he leaned in, his lips meeting mine.
