"I'm fine, Daddy. I swear." I said to the pacing Mexican in front of me. "It was just a dream anyways," I reassured him

"I don't care! What if it really happens? What if he hurts my baby girl?!" Vic yelled. I'm sure everyone in this state could hear him.

"It won't...hopefully," I mumbled as he walked out, still mad.

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now" This song reminds me of him.

"And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight" I do miss him, though.

"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am" Only you.

"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies

Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am" Tony.

"That's a good song." I jumped and turned around to see him standing at the doorway.

"Yeah, it's my favorite." I smiled.

"It's good, but my favorite is You Are So Beautiful by Escape The Fate. You know why?" he questioned. I didn't say anything but urged him to continue. "It reminds me of you." I felt my face flush a deep red so I turned over to where my face was in a pillow.

"Shmut up Mony"

"What?"

"I said shut up Tony." I laughed, turning back over to see a smiling turtle.

"Alright." He laughed, pretending to zip his mouth shut. I shook my head rapidly.

"No, no, no. Stop it." He continued to laugh as he sat down beside me. "Let gooooo!" I yelled as he tackled me.

"Never."

"HA! You talked!" I smiled in victory.

"You're so childish." He chuckled at my grin.

"I know."

"But it's super cute." He said,
