The Photograph

Chapter One

Almost There

"Daniel, Babe, It Hurts." I pushed his fingers away from my forehead, and interwined them with mine. He brought our hands to his lips and kissed them, Softly. "I'm sorry." He mumbled. I nestled my head against his shoulders and rub circles on his hand. "Everything isn't the same anymore."

What'd you mean?" He asked, Running a hand through the ends of my hair. "I don't feel normal, I feel like an empty box, like a cat wandering around for-" I stop, Just chuckling weakly for realizing what I said,"-It should've happen to me."

Daniel finally realize what I was talking about and shifted himself almost towards me,"Daniela, It wasn't you're fault. Don't blame this on you. The car wasn't paying attention and your mom just wanted to save you-"

"But she didn't have too! She was elderly and I was young, I probably could've survive than her!" I nearly yelled, Forming tears in my eyes. He sighed and gave me a tight hug,"Daniela, Your mom loved you so much that she saved you. She already had a wonderful life by meeting her love, having you, and enjoying life that entertain her. Your still riding the roller coaster, You're not ready & if it was you that was crashed, Just imagine yourself gone- What about me? I would completely Die because the person I love so much just dissapear in my life,Your mom would feel the same." I didn't say anything back because I knew he was right. My mom was 58 & I was 23.

My mother died 3 Days ago and tomarrow was the funeral. She died of a car that hit her. We was having our time together and we was crossing the road. The car was suppose to stop when we were allowed to walk, but as halfway we got to the streets, we notice the car was going faster and not stopping so we tried to run but it was too late. I was trying to protect my mom but she pushed me out the way and got hit. She was hit in the head & her rib cage was broken. I knew she was loosing so much blood and knew she wasn't able to survive, she knew too because that's when she spoke her last words to me," Daniela, I don't have alot of time to say how glad I am to have you,but- I love you." Then her heart stop beating.

That's when my heart fell apart. "I don't feel like going to the funeral tomarrow." I said, Getting away from the bed and into the closet. "But you have too." I shurgged and pulled out a white long sleeve with a black knitted sweater that goes down to my butt. "You're literally changing in front of me?" I turned my gazed towards him and raised a brow, pulling my night clothes off. "Yeah, Got a problem?" He nodded his head and grew a smirk across his lips,"Yeah, It drives me crazy." I grinned as I pulled my shirt off then slip on the shirt,"Really? Tell me what goes on that mind."

He shifted himself from the bed and pulled his arms at the back of his head," When I see you, I imagine my self, laying here and you there. When you pull that shirt off, my body is forcing me to tackle you, and get that body. To make Rough love, Ya know?" I laughed and rolled my eyes,"You're Something Daniel."

"I Know, But where are you going though?" He asked standing up, pulling down his raising boxers. "Just wander around Tenneesee." I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my purse. "Wait, I wanna go." I sat at the edge of the bed, and waited for him to get ready

"Did it really took 20 minutes to get ready?" I asked, walking down the cold sidewalk and into the bar. "Yes, I had to clean our sex germs and fix myself." He said, holding the door for me and sitting down on the stool. "We barely had sex! We were just cuddling and kissing." I whispered. He smirked,"That's what you did, I did something else." I scowled t him and lifted the menu full of liquor & snacks. "I love you, Daniela. I really do. You always put a smile on my face." I blushed and raise down the menu to look at his face. "I love you too, Now what are you getting."
