hi everyone sorry its been so long since I last updated. Life has gotten a whole lot busier since school is just about to start. So I might not be able to post new chapters everyday. But I'll try. So this is the sequel to 'A Debt Unpaid' so if you haven't read that, then you probably won't get this one. Well, anyway, enjoy your reading!

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying' to do

"What hurts the most." By Rascal Flatts

Tara lay awake listening to the song play on the radio with tears streaming down her face. She had just woken from a dreamless sleep when the song reached it's chorus.

'These tears are coming more often.' She thought. She looked at the clock to see that it was 3 a.m. Tracy would be there in an hour so she had to get up. It had been three months since her adventure. They hadn't been to Disneyland yet because neither of them had enough money. So they had been working as hard as they could and now it was finally going to pay off. Tara switched off her radio and took a shower. After that, she got dressed in a black skull hoodie with some jeans and some tennis shoes. She also put on a pair of guitar earrings. Tara opened her suitcase just to make sure everything was in there and then she dragged it to the living room. Her eyes went strait to the spot where her bird cage used to be. Earlier that week, she had asked a neighbor if she would take care of the bird. The woman agreed so now the bird was over there. Tara got a bagel from the kitchen and went to the living room, where she watched TV until Tracy came.

"Good morning!" Tracy said cheerfully.

"Mornin'." Tara yawned. She stopped in her tracks because she saw him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but my brother is coming with us." Tracy said. Tara nodded dumbly as she watched Kai, Tracy's adopted older brother, sitting in the backseat of Tracy's Ford truck. He was bobbing his head to the music playing on the radio. Next to Jack, Kai was the most handsome boy Tara had ever met. She had had a crush on him for years. She put her suitcase in the back of the truck and Tracy put down the cover. They got in the car and got situated.

"Hey, Tara." Kai said as the truck started moving.

"Hey." Tracy turned onto the highway and they began their ten hour ride to Disneyland.
