"Squib…Squib"
"Yesssssss Cody"
"Squib…wake up it's Adena," Squib opened his eyes wide looked up at the teary Adena and standing beside her where Meagan and Tanis all standing there staring down at him. He scrambled to his feet and searched the open which was starting to fill up with students, he was trying to search for Cody, he was sure that she was no where there it was just him the three girls still staring at him and the students by the couches. He wasn't sure what had just happen, where was Cody, was she playing some kind of tricks on him he wasn't sure but he had to leave he couldn't take it anymore. He tried to move past the girls but they were holding hands and he couldn't pass them.
"Excuse me guys," Squib tried to keep he's voice calm and strong and he knew that he was failing miserably
"Squib, what happed?" this time it was Meagan who spoke
"Nothing, move" He retorted
"No, Squib we are going to talk about what just happened, you were dreaming about Cody, we know, talk to us" And that's Squib lost it he completely lost, tears streaming down his face the girls came together in a hug around squib and they all stood their supporting him.
For Squib life seemed harder, days past as he went from class to practice to Mabel's side, weeks past as everyone slowly started to move on, months past as 6 of them never saw that joyous face of Cody. Years started to pass as things started to get back to normal. The 6 of them finished Cascadia and went their separate ways promising to keep in touch.
14 years had past since Cody's death and they still remember it as a part of them had been torn.
"Hey honey, I am home I even brought dinner," Squib called as he stepped into the house and made his way to the table.
"Hey dad how was work," Mabel asked as she stepped out of the kitchen, to take the pizza from her dad and hand him two plates to set on the table.
"The same old, filling some not a very nice persons financial bills that he can't do on his own," Squib grabbed a chair and sat down.
"That bad of a day hun," Mabel remarked
"You know, you are just like your mom," Squib smiled at his daughter
"I know, you told me millions times dad, oh and Aunt Adena called she will be back in a day," Mabel and Squib started to eat there pizza, it had become a Friday night routine, either Mabel would order it or Squib would get it after work.
"Lucky her getting to spend a whole month in Hawaii,"
"Well, dad she is gone on a hospital trip,"
"That's what she told us, so how was school today,"
"Good, a few of my friend are going to go see a movie tonight you mind if I go,"
"Do these few friend, happen to be boys by any chance," Squib said raising an eyebrow at his daughter.
"Dadddd, it's just me, Angela and Zoey,"
"What happened to that guy I saw you with yesterday at school when I picked you up,"
"What Ian, where friends," Mabel cheeks started turning a light pink.
"You guys seemed a little too close for friends," Squib said with a worried tone
"We are just friends,"
"You don't know what guys think, well even though you say your "friends" with this Ian guy, promise me you won't do anything stupid,"
"Dad, you know I won't do anything, and when I do like a guy I will tell don't worry but you have to promise not to be this overprotective dad,"
"Okay, I will try,"
"Dad..."
"Ok fine I promise, oh and your cheeks get red when we talk about Ian"
"Dad, drop it!"
