The weekend went by and now it was Sunday evening. I was currently sitting up in bed reading one of my favourite books; The Hunger Games. I can't count how many times I've read it.

I was so indulged in the book, that I hadn't heard the soft tap on my window at first. When I hear the second tap, I put the book down and listen. After a while, I hear it again. Yep, I definitely wasn't imagining things.

I rest the book on my bedside table and got off the bed. I went over to my window and open the curtains. I slide the window pane up and look out. Tyler was sitting on his window sill, looking as comfortable as ever. He had a few pebbles in his hands.

"Were you planning on breaking my window?" I ask.

"No, I didn't hit it that hard." He shrug his shoulders as if it was nothing.

"What do you want?" I ask, getting to the point.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'll be waiting for you tomorrow to drive you to school." He said.

I scrunch up my eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"

"We are suppose to be dating, remember?" He reminded. "A boyfriend is suppose to drive his girlfriend to school."

To be honest, I thought that he had changed his mind. I hadn't heard from him all weekend, so I thought that he finally came to his senses, realized that this whole dating thing was absurd and called the deal off. I guess I was wrong.

"Okay, whatever." I responded.

"Good." With that, he jump down off the window sill and into his room. Without saying another word, he closed his window and he disappeared from sight.

I closed my window as well and pull the curtains close again. I got back in bed and took up my book. I had just started reading again, when there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I answered. 

My room door was opened, revealing my dad. "Hi sweetheart."

"Oh hey Dad, what's up?" I rest the book on the bed beside me and crossed my feet under me.

Dad walked over to my bed and sat down. "It's been a while since we've talked. How's school?" He asked.

"School is....school." I answered with a grin.

Dad chuckled. "Okay then." He was quiet for a moment, then he said. "I was thinking that you and Sarah should go shopping next week. What do you say?"

I smiled. "Of course, Dad. I would love that." I answered honestly.

Dad looked at me and smile with gratitude. I know he knew that Sarah and I didn't talk much and he wanted us to bond. "Thanks, sweetheart." He patted my foot and began to get up from my bed, when his eyes caught something. "Why did you throw away that? I thought you love that picture?" He ask, indicating a picture of Logan and I that was now crumbled and in the waste basket.

He was right. I did love that picture. It was my favourite picture of Logan and I. We had took it when we went to the amusement park four months ago. In this picture, we were both making silly faces. "We broke up." I said in a quiet voice.

Dad turn his head to look at me. His eyes showed surprise. "Why? What happened?"

I brought my knees up to my chin and hug them. "He was cheating on me. Our relationship was based on lies." I tried to sound nonchalant, but every time I remember what he did to me, I felt hurt and angry.

"Are you okay?" Dad ask quietly.

I look at my father and I could see sadness in his eyes. His eyes never left mine as he waited for my response. He has always hated when I was hurt or sad. I smile to relieve his worry. "I'll be fine."
