KarterTwo months later"You can come by 4 so I can discuss a few things with you." Dr. Richard says."Okay I'll be there." I say."Alright Karter. See you then mate.""See you then." I say and hang up.Today I'll be going to pick Marie up. It's been exactly two months since Marie went to Sheepshead. We haven't really spoken since then. As per Dr. Richard's order. I talked to her once but it was very brief. Millie has been asking me every day for the past month when Marie would be back. That little girl misses Marie more then anything really.Ever since we found out Marie has Lupus I don't know I just haven't been the same. Everyone seems to notice it. I've been depressed and stressed about nothing in particular. I just can't control it, all my friends even point out that my attitude always changes the entire environment.I try my best for Millie not to notice this change in me but I really have no con

MarieI was awoken by my alarm clock ringing by my side. I press the snooze button and pull the covers off my body. Time to get back to work. Right now I'm thinking, why didn't I take up Karter's generous offer to start work after another month. I'm so stupid.After a long warm shower I change into a comfortable blue colored work dress and make myself some breakfast. I wish I could skip breakfast like I always did before but I need to take my med and the doctor strictly told me not to take any medication with any empty stomach. Sigh.After quickly finishing up my breakfast I head out. As I start my car, realization hits me. I'm going to be work for my ex boyfriend. Well I don't even know if I should call him

Karter"I'll be back before you know it. Alright sweetheart? Promise to be good and not bother Uncle Alex and Aunt Jennifer?" I ask Millie."I promise Dad. I'll miss you!" Millie pouts at me."I'll miss you too don't worry I'm only going for two days. I'll be back before you know it." I smile at Millie."Okay." Millie mumbles."Now come here. Give me a hug." I open my arms for Millie.I wrap my arms around Millie and pick her up. I place a kiss on her cheek. "Dad could you get me the chocolates you got last time when youwent to Canada?" Millie asks."Okay I will only if you promise not to finish them all at once?""Promise." Millie holds out her pinky at me. I smile as I put her down."We're going to have so much fun aren't we Millie?" Jennifer asks bending down to Millie's height."Yes!" Millie jumps up and down causing all of us to laugh."Okay now don't have too much alright?" I

Karter"Okay we're here. Let's go." I tell Millie as I open the car door."I'm so excited!" Millie says jumping up and down. I laugh. This girl sure did miss Marie. Sometimes I feel like she loves Marie more then she loves me."A little calm sweetheart. We don't want to scare off Marie." I joke."Okay." Millie smiles at me."Be on you're best behavior okay? Don't bother Marie too much. I'll pick you up by 7 so you have an entire day to spend with her." I say as we step into the elevator."Won't you be spen

MarieHave you ever heard that ridiculous saying that delusional people share on their Facebook, no offence, the one that goes something like the reason you can't fall asleep is because you're awake in someone else's dream. That quote. I can't believe people actually believe that. But then again sometimes, when I'm wide awake in the middle of the night, what if that's true, and if so who could possibly be dreaming about me? Is it the love of my life or a complete stranger? Is it my mom or my enemy. We can't control our dreams is what people often say, then why is it that most of our dreams revolve around the people we care about the most or the least?It was 3:30 am. I was staring at the ceiling with Karter sound asleep beside me. For some reason, I just couldn't sleep. As I couldn't fall asleep Idecided to go out for a little walk. I put on some sweats and a lose tank top and quietly head out not wanting to wake up Karter.
