Davina woke up stressed out, eyes swollen, and a red nose, from all the crying last night. She was so broken that she decided to stay in bed a little longer. "Davina!! Come on!! Your gonna be late for school! Tyler's already here!!!" Her mom said shouting from down stairs. Davina said nothing in response. "Davina!" Her mom said entering her room. "Oh my gosh! Davina! Are you okay?! Am you don't look so good! Are you sick?!" Her mother said feeling her forehead. "Hmm you seem pretty warm. Do you wanna stay home today?"
"Sure." Davina said in misery.
"Okay. Let me go take care of Tyler." She walked back down stairs. "Sorry Tyler, Davina isn't feeling too good today." She said grabbing her purse and keys.
"Mrs. Anderson I'd be happy to care of Davina. I've never missed a single day of school. I'm sure it would hurt to miss at least one day of school. After all this is an emergency."

"Oh thank you so much Tyler. You are such a life saver. Thank you so much. Okay well you know where the kitchen is. The bathroom is down the hall straight ahead. And there's another up the stairs first door in the front. Thank you again and take care."
"My pleasure Mrs. Anderson, and have a good day." Tyler said closing the door after her.
The minute he closed the door, he headed up stairs to see the real reason why she's missing school. Because there was no way in hell "she's sick", she's never sick.

"Alright, what's the real reason?!" Tyler said coming into her room with a tray full of breakfast. He had pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, and hash browns. He placed the tray on her night stand and got a stool and set right in front of her. Davina got out of bed and sat up straight. "What are you talking about?"

"Davina I know there's something wrong with you. I'm not dumb, I've known you since we were ten. Your never sick. Tell me the truth."

"We had a fight."
He stayed quiet.
"I don't think he wants to be with me anymore..." A tear rolled down her face.

"But that's impossible Davina he just moved like six days. He can't be over you that quick!?"
She shrugged and looked down. He sighed and continued, "Come on finish your breakfast. And get ready." He placed the tray on her lap and sat down.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see"
