Fast Times at Clairemont High

Once again I stayed home sick. I wasn't feeling as bad but I was still not able to go to school. I got out my guitar and started to strum when my door opened.

"Mija would you like some soup or anything?" Mama asked

"Oh, no thank you mama. I actually just really want the guys to come home from school already, I am so bored without them" I said setting the guitar down.

Mama walked in and sat next to me. "I know you are but I want you to be 100% when you go back to school. So, tell me what you've been doing with this instrument right here? I hear you play it and I love your voice" I smiled. Mama always knew what to say to make me smile

"Well, as you know Papa taught Vic and I so, I play what I feel in my heart. Its a way for me to escape the world you know? Kind of like Mike and his drums"

"I am so proud of you, Mike got himself a great girl" I smiled

"Thank you Mama" She nodded and left.

I picked up the guitar once again and began to play.

My father he told me what comes around
comes comes around again. The faces
you see in the way up are those on the
way back down my friend.

My dad used to play this song in the car when I was little. It always makes me think of him.

I walked up the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Hey what are you doing out of bed?" Papa laughed

"I am feeling a lot better and I was wondering if I could use the spare car to go out for a little bit?" I asked

"Yeah, just get back in one piece?" Mama said

"You know I am a good driver Mama I drove the last time we went out to dinner" I said catching the keys.

I thanked them and headed out. I went to a place I hadn't been in almost a year.

I grabbed my guitar and sat down.

"Dad, I know it has been a while since I was here last but I am here now and that is all that matters" No one answered back. I started to sob now.

"Daddy,I miss you so much. Without you it feel like I am drowning in my thoughts. I need you! Mike has been there for me as well as Vic and Tony. Jaime has too but not as much as Mike and Tony. When I found that letter Tony was the only one I showed. He helped me through it all" My voice was barely audible but I managed to let it out.

My voice yelling now as I said this "PLEASE! I NEED YOU COME BACK THIS ISN'T.......This isn't fair" I said collapsing on the ground.

I felt arms wrap around me as I sobbed.

"Lyric its okay its just me, Tony" I looked up and hugged him.

"T -Tony, how did you know I was hear?" I asked and he chuckled

"We have been best friends for about since forever. Plus Mama didn't know where you went and she said that you had your guitar and so I put two and two together" He laughed

"You know me so well"

"Well we should get back before they start to worry. And Lyric, it really is going to be okay." I nodded and walked to the car.

"Tony you walked here?" I asked and he nodded

"Its like 9 miles from my house" I laughed

"Yeah but I got dropped off by someone at school" I nodded and got in the car.

I did have the greatest friends in the world.

Notes

Hey guys, this chapter really probably sucked and I wrote it but my computer deleted half of it so I had to start over.
