  After the night with David. Thursday came faster then I would have ever expected. I was so excited running around the apartment. I was really happy that I could hang out with David. The real David, the one that would sing to the radio when his favorite song was on.

   The one where he would run away with me, to get ice cream in the middle of the night. We would get away from our parents rules for a few hours. Those better times where he would tell me his honest feelings. Where we would make little fun videos together. Where things were more simple.

   I miss that now laying in my bedroom. Looking back at a picture when we were in high school. We could never go back to that, to the Tuesday tacos and the Friday milkshakes. To the Thursday giggles to the Saturday night in. To watching our favorite movies together.

   The tears fell not really meaning too. All of a sudden the door opened. To Faith running over to my side of the bed. "Lace, are you okay? Are you hurt?

    Do you need me to call 911?" Faith says continuing to look at me in terror. I looked up at her and almost laughed. Don't get me wrong, I love Faith to death. If she could, give me the world she could.

   I was so grateful for her, but there were times where my head would go to another place. I would laugh at a memory that we had. Or an moment where I forgot that I was just crying. " No no no, Faith it's okay I was just remembering the David I used to know. It's okay, I didn't know I was crying."

   I said while holding out my arms for Faith to go into. She softened and went to hug me, I hugged her back. We stayed that way for a long minute. "I thought you were having another panic attack. I have been worrying about you Lace.

    With David being here you seem so happy. But I will admit that, when something happens between you guys you shut down. Your brain stops working, you have been very quiet. Which is something I am not used too. I love you, you know I do.

   I just want you to know that whatever happens. When it comes to everything, even David. That I am always here for you." She says holding my heart, putting it in this amazing light. Feeling like I can take on the whole world better.
