"Aw," I blush. "I'm holding you to that." I wink, and playfully hit his arm. He laughs, and then yawns. 
"I should be going." He stands up, and adjusts his shirt. He leans on top of me, both of his arms on the sides of me. He presses his lips against mine. 
"Bye," I say, and kiss him one more time, before I watch him leave out my window, and in a matter of seconds, I hear his old pick-up barelling down my drive.
I lay back in my bed, the smell of Blake's cologne still lingers on my blanket. I cover up, and almost instantly fall asleep.

I wake up yelling. My mom's yelling at someone. I throw off my covers. It feels like I'm a little girl again. Listening to my mom yell. It's my dad. I hear him yell louder than he used to. I quietly step down the stairs, hearing every word they say.
"When we got married," My mom quiets down. "You said you changed. You said we'd last forever."
"Well, forever wasn't cut out for us, Molly." My dad stands up.
"It is when you have a child. You have to make it work, for them."
"She barely knows me, like she'd want me in her life!" My dad's voice gets louder.
"I do," I interrupt. "I'd love to have you in my life."
"Oh, Meg..." My mom comes over. "You weren't supposed to hear this."
"Oh, ma, did you tell him about the part where you hate that he's running around with a tr*mp, that was the best part." I storm out the door. I'm nothing to her. She had me, to make my dad stay with her.
"Megan," My dad comes out, and sits next to me on the porch swing. "You really want me in your life?"
"Well, yeah." I half-smile.
"I'll try. For you." He kisses the top of my head, and walks to his truck.

Teaser: "Well, ma, maybe it'll be better, for the both of us." I slam the door. I've never been this mad at my mom before.
