I was walking around a park, the same park I used to come with my father when I was little. I went to the playground and sat down on the swing. It was a nice warm day, the skies were blue and there wasn’t a single cloud around. I was lost in thought when I heard a familiar voice that I never thought I would hear again.

Mom came back with a bunch of groceries and started to make dinner. I offered to help but she told me to stay in the living room and wait for the girls. ‘What are they planning? Mom is definitely on it too.

Jess looks at me and soon our lips met. We embrace each other and we kiss for a long time and the world around us cease to exist, at that moment, there are just the two of us and nothing else matters.

“What do you remember?” She asked me.

“Coming to the hospital and get a shot, feeling ill and then nothing. How long was I out? And why do I feel like I was kicked in the nuts?”

“He had another shock during the night and went into cardiac arrest. The doctors were able to stabilize him again, but if we don’t operate him soon, It will probably happen again.”

Previously:When the kiss ends I am still feeling that glow emanating from inside. I feel like I'm on cloud nine.

“Hmm, Joanie?”

“Yeah?” I ask her, dreamily.

“I think you are glowing.”

At that moment we hear the front door open and Mindy's Mom say. “Hey sweety, I thought that was..... OH MY GODDESS!!!”

Previously:Mother pays the bill, leaving a generous tip. Once outside she says, “Joanie, I think your father will have a heart attack when he sees the next month credit card bill.”

“Oh god, mom. I hope you didn't spent too much.”

“No sweety, I was just joking. And you do need everything we bought today.”
“OK, Mom. Thanks for today. It was tiring, but fun.”

“Next time will be even more fun as we won't be buying so much.” Jenny says.

“I hope so. I think I tried half the mall's clothes today.”

“Ah, come on, that is the fun part.” Mindy says.

“And that's how you develop your own sense of style.” Mom tells me.
We then walked to the car and soon we were our way home.

Previously: “No, Mom, we thought you would want to go too, and maybe we could go to the hair salon to give Joanie a new haircut and some pampering. It will be a new experience for her, an all girly day,” Jenny says with an evil grin on her face

“That’s a great idea, maybe we should get her ears pierced too,” Mom says with her eyes sparkling with the same grin as Jenny on her face.

Oh my, what did I get myself into?

Previously:After they left I lay down on the bed, close my eyes and think about my day. ‘What a strange day. I still can’t believe that I am a real girl. And do I have a crush on Mindy? I’m so confused right now. And what about my dreams? Are they just dreams? Is Josh real?’

Synopsis:This chapter deals with a suicide attempt. I personally would avoid writing about suicide, but this story has been haunting my dreams for over a week now and I believe it is begging to be written. This first chapter is quite heavy and dark, but I promise the next ones will be a lot lighter.
