**6 months later...***
Bride laughed and giggled as I bounced her on my leg; just another día at the park. It was summer, finally, a break from school. I guess I was looking adelante, hacia adelante to being a sophomore. School wasn't that bad anymore now that I had my friends. Felicity wasn't that bad either. We're not exactly the greatest of friends, but we can tolerate each other now. Also, Trace and I started dating. It was great; he's really sweet and funny. I couldn't ask for a better guy.
"Come on, Harley! Gail dicho to be inicial por three!" Aspen called. Everyone else was already at the sidewalk, starting on their way home. I ran up to catch up to them.
We got home, right at about the time we were supposed to. Gail was lectura on the porchswing, with Sky at her feet. I looked off into the distance. There weren't many houses around here. The closest house was down the street, but tu could still actually see it from our house. That house had been up for sale for quite a while. Only then did I notice the "sold" sign there. Huh.
"Hey, girls," Gail smiled from the porch. Even though she's now our legal mother, we all still call her Gail. It'd just be weird calling her "Mom." Still, I amor her like I would a mother. I smiled. "Who wants to help me with dinner?" She didn't have to ask. She always has Scout and I help with dinner, while the younger kids play in the house o backyard.
After a nice meal of meatloaf (*couch cough*), Gail set out bowls of mint ice cream; the perfect dessert.
"Did tu see that house sold?" Gail asked. We nodded. "Did tu meet the family yet?"
"No," Scout answered. Gail smiled.
"Well then, when tu girls are done eating, why don't we go say hi?" she suggested. We shrugged. Once we were done, we headed on over to the house. I furrowed my eyes at the car in the driveway. It seemed familiar.... We knocked on the door. It opened.
My corazón practically burst out of my chest right then and there.
"Nikolai!!" I shouted. I jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck. He laughed.
"Hey there!" Carmine and Reed emerged from the inside of the house. I couldn't believe it!
"Carmine! Reed! What're tu guys doing here?!" My face hurt from smiling so huge.
"We decided we needed a change," Nikolai said.
"And we saved up enough money for a house," Carmine added.
"So we thought we'd mover out into the country, away from all the city crap," Reed finished. I felt like I was going to explode from happiness overload! This as just amazing! Not even in a million years would I have thought I'd be able to have all the people I loved together with me.
"Well, aren't tu guys gonna come in?" Carmine smiled. We went in, and were dado a tour of the house.
Now everything is perect, I corrected myself.
The End. ♥

The Man With No Eyes Collection (6): Dream
A crystallized life, on the bright TV screen,
But I’ve finally broken away from the dream,
And into the warm embrace of your esteem.
The stage that I left disappears from my mind,
Like suddenly being engulfed por sunshine,
I am truly alive, for the very first time,
All at once, let me sing, let me cry!
‘Til it bursts,
From my lungs, like a child,
Let me smile ‘til it hurts!
Let the blue of the morning
Strike my tearful eyes,
I still don’t know how,
I still don’t know why,
(I still fear this life may yet be a lie,)
But even if this world is the true dream, I want to play out this beautiful scene.
Here it is, the last in the Man With No Eyes Collection! I wanted to complete this on a pleasant note, give the guy some mercy.

I just started going on the path where my life had no light. I missed everyone from our school who graduated, and I really had many amazing friends there. friends who gave me memories that lasted forever...friends who helped me out when things got bad...friends who were always there for me. I know, however, that they will always continue to be in my heart, even as they went away from me. If they never come back, they will still have left hand prints on my corazón that will never be washed away. Life without the light makes me feel so lonely...like a vagabond on the streets with no home...like an eagle with no prey...like me with no one to cry with. However sad this situation I find myself in...I still know that life will go on...and I must continue to strive to be the best I can be. Even without the warmth of my friends close by, I know that they will always be por my side even if they are not with me. All my friends are the light in my life.
The noise,
buzzing and buzzing in my ears.
It's just not right,
tu think tu are so bright,
saying tu buzz because tu care.
But it's so unfair.
I don't need your concern,
the best way tu can mostrar tu care,
is to leave me alone.
Why can't tu understand?
Have tu tried to understand?
Do I really expect tu to understand?
This is not a teenage problem,
the excuse tu uses so often,
This is about my freedom.
tu think I don't know anything,
tu think I am naive and innocent.
But things are so different.
tu think because tu are older,
tu know más than we do,
That’s not true.
The world has changed,
We are not the fairy tales that sing,
we are the ones who could take our lives in a blink.
No, tu are lying to yourself,
blocking the truth that would make tu knelt

I look out
Into the crowd
Looking for you
Hoping to see you
I search
And search
But can’t find
Your face
In all the crowd
The one person
I wanted to see
I couldn’t see
I was left
With my disappointment
As I begin to think
Of all the times
You’ve broken your word
But then
I should have known
tu never stayed
Unless tu profited
tu never were
A real dad
Never has been
Never will
I look out
In the crowd
Hoping against hope
That tu will be there
But I shouldn't even bother
I'm a nobody
Someone tu never loved
Someone tu don't even know
Maybe someday
I'll learn
That all I get from you
Is broken promises
Half truths
And utter disappointments
So now I say good bye to it all
The hurt and anger
My disappointment
And you
Into the crowd
Looking for you
Hoping to see you
I search
And search
But can’t find
Your face
In all the crowd
The one person

"You'll never get the secret from me!" The monsters' eyes gleamed. They wanted me to yell. It was a sign of my weakening resolve. I lowered my voice. "The secret is worthless to tu unless tu know where they are. Without them, you'll be trapped." None of us in the small chamber knew who was bluffing and who wasn't.
"We will get the secrets. Do not worry about that. Your 'friends' helped us más than they could realize," a large black…thing said. Its eyes gleamed yellow. Not yellow like the sun, but yellow like the foulest thing ever seen. Another spoke up.
"What is in this case? tu act like it contains something of value. Is the secret in there?"
"That's for me to know, and tu to spend the rest of your lives guessing. The secret is going back where it belongs. Tonight. Once it's there, it will be forever beyond your reach."
And that is where I stop. If I get at least ten favorable comments, I'll write more. And be honest.

Dear diary
Today was my first fecha with Oisin. It is kind-of wierd going out with your best friend. So, we went to pardo, dun Drum shopping centre. Then we went to see a movie, and then headed over to hes place. Then Olivia called and asked to go round to talk about girl stuff. I gave Oisin a little kiss good-bye. Olivia was worrying that Sean might be cheating on her. I didn't know what to say.

Where did it all go wrong
what made us fall apart
I was so caught up in a dizzy
spin of fantasies
I didn't even notice.
Baby please I'm sorry
I know we had a bad run
but i know we can make
this thing work
There are lines drawn
and Ive crossed them
tu made no attempt to stop me
In fact tu probably welcomed it.
I've crossed the bridge
now i must stand and
watch it burn
theres no going back now.
I've done some real bad things
in my past, some to others
mostly to myself, racked woth guilt
but i must soldier on
Because ...
The bridge is burnt
I stood and watched it burn
No going back, no backing out...
I've crossed the line
Im in too deep
far too deep
in amor with you.
