Chapter 4 Bad Memories

While I'm unconcious I remember that day, the day when my parents died. I was 5 at the time and a definite tomboy, I wore a long sleeve button up shirt it was my favorite at the time but I could never roll up the sleeves "Dad, can you help me roll up my sleeves please? "Sure sweetie" my dad said with an earnest smile, I loved his smile. "Honey can start up the car please!" My dad yelled "Sure dear! " Mom yelled back "Thank you honey!" "Sure dear!" after that we got in the car mom started singing I loved her voice and I started singing along with her and then the next thing I heard was a loud crash.

I jumped up yelling "Noo!" and then burst into tears Damien was right beside me and I needed someone at that moment and I hugged him still crying I could tell he didn't know what to do at but he then hugged me back and started rubbing my back saying "Shh, everything is alright now". After I calmed down I looked at Damien his eyes were full of worry he then asked me "What happened, are you okay?" "Yes thank you, just some bad memories" I tried to force a smile but couldn't "Hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you." I give Damien a hug and say thank you once more. "Come on I bet after all that crying that your starving" Damien offers me his hand and I take it smiling.

While me and Damien are having dinner we play 21 questions and get to know each other but I don't dare ask about what happened at the place I use to live in. I learn that Damien's favorite color is green, his birthday is on August 3rd, his favorite animal is a horse and for some reason I asked him what his best pick up line was and he said "Are you from Tennessee because your the only 10 I see." I laughed so much that night I forgot about everything except for the person in front of me.
