“Tomorrow's the day, Hayley.” I reminded her.
She tilted her her back and kissed me.
“Our one an anniversary.” She a dit as she pulled back.
“Hayles I kind of brought toi here so we could be alone and tell toi something.”
“Yeah?”
“I l’amour toi Hayley.”
To my relief a smile spread across her face. “I l’amour you, too.”

The memory replayed my mind over and over.
That was the jour before our anniversary. The jour I first told Hayley I loved her. The jour she first told me she loved me. That was the jour before Hayley's death. That was almost a an ago.
“Josh.” My moms voice came from outside my door breaking through my thoughts. “It's time for school. If toi don't wake up now toi won't make it on time.”
“Just leave me alone.” Leave me in peace with thoughts of my angel.
“But school –”
“Mom I just don't feel up to going today ok?” I replied annoyed.
She sighed. “Fine honey. Just come on out and get some breakfast.”
I reluctantly dragged myself to the table. I sat in front of one.the three plates of nourriture my mom had set down.
My mom and dad both sat down and began eating their food. I grabbed my fork and started to chop my eggs into pieces.
“Josh this has to stop!” My mom screamed breaking the silence.
I looked up at her in complete shock. “What?”
“You've been like a zombie ever since Hayley died. I feel like toi died with her.”
“I don't know what toi mean mom. I'm fine. Same Josh I've always been.”
She shook her head, “No! We both know that's not true. toi keep skipping school, I have to litterly drag toi out of that room of yours, and even then toi don't say a word to your father and I, and toi barely eat anymore. I just feel like you've changed. It's like I don't even know toi anymore.”
“Hayley was my girlfriend mom. I was in l’amour with her. I still am.”
“I know, but it's been a year.”
“Actually it won't be a an until Friday.” I corrected her.
“Do toi see what I mean?”
“Could toi just get to the point?” I asked annoyed.
“I think it's about time toi moved on. Hayley is dead, and she's not coming back. There's a girl who moved in down the street. I think toi two would really hit it off.”
“No mom. It's just too soon.”
“One date. That's all I'm asking for. If toi don't want to see her again after that then ok, but please just give Jenna a chance.”
“One rendez-vous amoureux, date and that's it.”
She tilted her her back and kissed me.
“Our one an anniversary.” She a dit as she pulled back.
“Hayles I kind of brought toi here so we could be alone and tell toi something.”
“Yeah?”
“I l’amour toi Hayley.”
