"Two more hours." I said as a sit upside down on my chair.

I sit down properly and put out my phone. I connected my earphones and put it in my ear.

Times been tickin'
Hearts are runnin'
Think that cupid's up to somethin'
You ask me how I feel, I say nothin'

"What the heck? How did this song get here?!" I exclaimed.

Sometime, when I listen to songs I pick randomly and that song represents what's going to happen to me. But those rarely happen, so I guess I'm fine.

"I guess Kylie downloaded this song in my phone by accident." I muttered, then snorted, "Yeah, accident."

Though I gotta admit, this song is really cute. I rarely listen to love songs.

I just hummed with the song, smiling, knowing that tomorrow is also an amazing day for me.

I took Mr. Pattyface and turned him around. On his back is a zipper I hide something treasured.

"Can I borrow it, Mr. Pattyface?" I asked him.

I pretended he said yes and zipped it open.

I smiled as I put out the picture. It was a picture of me and Travis when I was four and he was six. We were at the beach and he was kissing my forehead. Mom caught the picture in the perfect moment.

I miss him so much!

"Did we spend twelve years together just to be separated like this?" I asked myself.

I looked back at the picture. I look nothing like the girl there. This girl was smiling, thinking things wouldn't turn out like this.

But it did, and it hurt. A lot.

If... it didn't happen, would they still be here with me? If it didn't happen, would we be at that same beach right now?

I didn't realize I was crying until something dripped on the photo.

I giggled with tears still streaming down my face, "I hate you so much, Travis!"

Luckily, our rooms were soundproof so that no one can hear me screaming.

I heard someone knock on my door, making me snap my head towards it.

"Go away." I said, my voice cracking.

"Dayana? Are you okay?" Xander's voice asked from outside.

Shoot, he can't see me like this. He'll think I'm that vulnerable, and I wouldn't like that.

I quickly hid the photo again and wiped my tears.

"Yup! Everything's a-okay!" I said.

"Can I come in?" He asked.
