Confessions: I didn't do my homework last night.

ALEC SANCHEZ IS KISSING ME.

My arch nemesis is kissing me and I like it. How am I kissing the male version of Dolores Umbridge? He is evil... and I'm still kissing him.

I push him off of me and quickly stand to my feet as I hear the front door open. I grab my stuff and run out the door.

I forgot my money. I quickly turned around and grab my money from a confused Mrs.Sanchez and ran back out the door.

I ran to my house and unlocked the door, running to my room, not bothering to close the front door. I slammed my door and slid down the back of it to the floor.

I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye but ignored it. I got up and opened my door. I walked downstairs into the kitchen and grabbed a soft pretzel off my counter and yelled to the figure that followed me.

"If your gonna kill me would you mind doing it after I finished my pretzel!"

"That depends are you gonna share?"

"No!" I said confidently.

"Then I guess I'm gonna have to kill you now and eat your pretzel later." The voice of my best friend whispered as I turned around.

"Something happened last night." she said looking at me closely.

"What are you talking about? Nothing happened." I lied trying not to blink. I learned from my very close friend, Joey Tribbiani, that if you can look someone in the eyes without blinking then you're telling the truth.

"Alec came home early and kissed you." she stated. She looked into my eyes before gasping.

"You kissed him back, didn't you? You even enjoyed it. What is wrong with you?"

"Listen, I can explain. It's been a while since I've had a boyfriend. I've been feelin' kinda lonely." I said using my best puppy dog eyes.

"Oh, don't you try that with me, Opal Shaniqua Hill!"

"We have to go to school." I said as a looked at my watch and ran out the door.

"We are going to talk when I catch you" she yelled after me as I ran faster.

I opened my locker and saw dirt pouring out of it. I jumped back and stared at it astonished. When the dirt finally stopped poring out I saw a huge picture taped to the back of my locker.

It was Alec flipping me off.

Under I saw two words:

Tricked You.

I turned around quickly to glare at the culprit. But, only found my teacher staring at me sympathetically. My glare softened and turned into a confused expression.

"Ms. Hill, I'm sorry to inform you that your father has been in the hospital for a month and has called for you."

"He w-what?"

"He has called for you. Do you want someone to drive you to the hospital?"

"Y-y-yes. Can you call-?"

"Alec, I need you to take Ms. Hill to the hospital. You'll be excused from your classes for the rest of the day." said my teacher.

xXx

I waited outside while my father talked to Alec. I waited for 10 minutes for them to finish talking before Alec opened the door and motioned for me to come in.

"Hey, don't cry now. This is what I get for all those years of smoking." He whispered taking my hand in his as a tear escaped from both of our eyes.

"Maybe, you'll get better. Maybe, you can have more time. You can come back home and stay." I whispered.

"If I could I would. I would come back home and stay with you. I would ask for more time with you. I just want you to know that I love you." He said as his hand went limp in mine.

xXx

They tried to pry me off of him. But, I couldn't let go.

He was the only family I have left. He was the last person that hadn't disowned me other than my older brother but, God knows where he is.

This is the last time I would ever see my father. I knew his side of the family wouldn't let me go to his funeral just like they did with my mother.

They said that it was my fault and someone that can handle being the cause of their mother's death shouldn't be allowed to say goodbye, but to wallow in self pity.

I didn't tell either of them I loved them before they died. I'm alone.

I'm completely alone.

I have nothing to say for once in my life. Goodbye.
