Sunshine

(Daniel's P.O.V)

I woke up to the sun hitting my face. I groan and place the blanket over my face. That didn't work and I sighed. Sitting up I see a notification that Levi texted me on my phone. I quickly grab it and smiled wide. She was in Springfield and heading my way. I was about to scream yes but realized everyone was asleep still. I went to my closet and got a faded Green Day shirt and blue jeans . I got dressed quickly only thinking of Levi. I was about to see my best friend. I won't lie I did have a little crush on her. She was really sweet and caring. I loved her company the most though. We would go play in the woods behind her house. She had an imagination that's all I had to say. She would sing made up songs and make up games. There was one day she sung a song and it was really good. I told her to be a singer when she grows up. She gave me that enchanting smile and laughed. "I would but I want to be a nurse", she explained. She gave me one of her silly looks and I laughed. "Okay then", I snicker. The memory of her was all I could remember from my childhood. It was weird but maybe it was because she was special. I was brushing my thick black hair. Looking in the mirror on the wall. My face had grown paler and I had dark circles around my blue eyes. I looked like a mindless zombie. I gave a sigh and shook my head. The moment she left was when all this bad shit started to happen. The death of my Mom in the plane crash. The day my life would be forever be jacked up. My Dad was there and my sister was too young. She still is and I have to take care of her most of the time. Dad works day and night shifts. Leaving me to take her to the bus stop and make sure she comes home. She can be a handful but I love her. She looks just like Mom did. Same mossy brown hair, hazel eyes and a warm smile. I love her and would do anything for her. Amanda is the only thing that really reminds me of her. There are other things but my sister is like her twin sister. I snapped back into reality and looked deep into the mirror. "One day I'll be with you Mom". I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. My mind was racing with the thoughts of the funeral and the chaos of it . My Dad is still devastated but he keeps it to himself. He tries to stay tough but I see the pain . That pain I feel everyday just like he does. A tear escaped my eye and I quickly wiped it. I turned around and went to the window. The sun was bright but not my heart. I told Levi about what happened and she was there for me. I didn't feel as alone but it would've been better if she was with me . With me in person not by text but in person. I heard​ a soft knock that brought me back to reality again. "Yeah," I yelled to the person. My little sister came in quietly. She was dressed in her pastel pink hoodie and black leggings on with pink Converses. She had her Princess backpack on that had glitter everywhere. "Can you take me to my bus stop". I nodded and we headed through the hall. Dad was already gone to work. I leaded her outside on the porch. The street wasn't busy which was weird. Mostly it was busy but not on this Monday morning. I held her hand as we went to where the street signs were. Other kids were there with their parents. She urged me to go to a little girl with her Mom. The little girl was probably her friend. She had blonde hair and brown eyes that shined like crystals. Amanda gave a huge smile as we walked to her. "Hi this is my brother Daniel, Samantha". I gave a little wave and turned to the mother. I released my sister's hand. The mother gave a small smile. She looked like her daughter but her eyes were hazel. "Hello, young man", she greets me . I gave a awkward smile ,"hello madam". She gives another smile and looks up at the sky."What a beautiful day today, she sighed. "I agree it is a nice day". She. shrugged her shoulders,"well for now at least". The way she said that gave me suspicion. The bus came and picked up my sister and the other kids. The parents went back to their houses. except the woman that I was talking to. She looked at me,"aren't you the son of Marry?" My stomach dropped and I nodded,"yes ma'am". She gave a solemn look and hugged me. "I'm so sorry for your loss",she said hugging me. I lightly placed my hands around her. I felt awkward but she pushes me back lightly. "I promise it's gonna be okay", she gave a insuring smile. I gave a small smile,"thanks for your support ma'am". She nodded and walked away down the other street . I went back home to see a unknown red truck in the front lawn. My heart paced and I ran to the truck. A familiar figure came out and I ran to her. She ran to me slamming the truck door shut. She hugged me tight and I hugged back. "Levi, it's been so long!" She gave her same smile and laughed. "Missed me?" I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed. "Yeah, I did miss you bestie". "Nice truck", I smiled looking at her Chevy truck. She gave a shrug ," gift for my sixteenth birthday". "Show off",I thought. She cocked her head and smiles. "You alright Daniel?",she smiles and then frowns. "Got something on your mind?" I nodded and sighs. "Life's been crazy lately and stuff". She sighed," you'll get through it cause I'm here now! I gave a smile,"yeah, that's right".
