" Why are you here?" I asked him in no mood to deal with him.

" Why are you here?" He asked me.

" Go away." I said and sat back down to see a text message from Claire telling me to call her ASAP.

" Can you give me a minute. Actually never mind you are going to give me a minute." I said to Cole and walked a little distance away from him dialing Claire's number. 

" Claire is everything ok?"

" Marcus was apart of trying to rescue your dad they found information on his whereabouts ." I heard her voice shaking throughout the call.

"There was another attack a bombing and he didn't make Skye. We haven't been able to check the area but it's been called that your dad didn't make it either. I'm so sorry kid. I'll be home as soon as I can. I really didn't want to tell you over the phone but I knew you deserved to know right away. I'm so so sorry." I felt broken.

Marcus and Claire were my dads best friends Marcus was practically an uncle to me. My dad is gone. He's not coming home like he always promises. He's not going to be there to scare the boys away. He's not going to walk me down the aisle when it's my special day. He's not going to see me graduate highschool. The phone fell from my hands.

" You okay red head?" I heard cole say faintly. I felt my knees buckle underneath me as I fell to the ground. I felt numb everywhere. The world was spinning but I could still make out Cole's face looking down at me before everything went black.

Coles POV

" Your an asshole!" I Yelled at my father. He wants me to continue in his footsteps and not do what I fucking want.

It's my future he needs to get that through his head. I slammed the front door shut behind me and decided to take a breather before I actually kill him. I'm not kidding.

I was walking past the park when I saw her sitting there curled in a ball in the deserted park on the bench. The red head who is a little spitball of fire. I walked over creeping up behind her when I realized she was crying. I waited a few seconds before going up to her.

" What are you doing here this late." I asked her causing her to jump up at me. I swear she was about to punch me in the face.

" Cole! You don't go scaring people when they are by themselves!" She said annoyed.

" Why are you here?" She said putting her hands on her hips. Cute. Nope not cute I take that back. 

"Why are you here?" I asked her smirking. She just gave me a look like really. She checked her phone and that gave me a chance to really look at her. She had beautiful eyes. They were almost like a turquoise, exactly how the Caribbean looks in pictures. She had freckles across her nose and under her eyes. She was actually really pretty.

" Can you give me a second. Actually you will give me a second." She said while
Walking away causing me to roll my eyes. She was on the phone but she walked out of hearing distance so I couldn't eavesdrop.

About 3 minutes passed when her phone dropped from her hand bouncing on the cement.

" Red head you okay?" I asked walking towards her. That's when the last thing I expected to happen.

She collapsed on the ground. I quickly ran over to her picking her up. I walked over to my truck and placed her in the passengers side. I decided to bring her to my house. I know crappy idea but I didn't know where else to take her.

She's not hurt maybe she just heard something on the phone that she didn't want to hear or something. I gently placed her on my bed and pulled off her shoes. Just as I was admiring her my father barged in.

" I'm going out. Do what you want." He said in a bored tone.

" What happened to her?" He asked.

" Have fun getting drunk with random people like every fucking night dad." I spat at him. He took that as his queue to leave.

" Cole?" I looked back at the bed to see her waking up.

" Hey red head." I said.

" What happened?" She asked rubbing her eyes. " We were having a really deep discussion about why we should both not be at a park around 9 o clock when you passed out."

I said smirking at her.

" Where's my phone?" She asked. " why?" I asked her she seemed like she was about to have a panic attack.

" Calm down okay. You can use mine." She just shook her head and started looking around like the room was on fire.

" Look at me red head." I spoke calmly. She looked at me and started crying.

" He's gone." She cried.

" Who's gone?" I asked.

" No one I should really go home." She said sliding off the bed.

" Thanks for everything." She mumbled picking up Her shoes.

" I'll drive you home." I said walking with her to the door.

"Thanks but you don't have to." She mumbled. I just ignored her and we walked to my car. Once we pulled into her driveway she said.

" Thanks see you at school tomorrow."

" See ya."
