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

The memory replayed my mind over and over.
That was the giorno before our anniversary. The giorno I first told Hayley I loved her. The giorno she first told me she loved me. That was the giorno before Hayley's death. That was almost a anno ago.
“Josh.” My moms voice came from outside my door breaking through my thoughts. “It's time for school. If te don't wake up now te 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 Cibo 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 te died with her.”
“I don't know what te mean mom. I'm fine. Same Josh I've always been.”
She shook her head, “No! We both know that's not true. te keep skipping school, I have to litterly drag te out of that room of yours, and even then te don't say a word to your father and I, and te barely eat anymore. I just feel like you've changed. It's like I don't even know te anymore.”
“Hayley was my girlfriend mom. I was in Amore with her. I still am.”
“I know, but it's been a year.”
“Actually it won't be a anno until Friday.” I corrected her.
“Do te see what I mean?”
“Could te just get to the point?” I asked annoyed.
“I think it's about time te moved on. Hayley is dead, and she's not coming back. There's a girl who moved in down the street. I think te two would really hit it off.”
“No mom. It's just too soon.”
“One date. That's all I'm asking for. If te don't want to see her again after that then ok, but please just give Jenna a chance.”
“One data and that's it.”
She tilted her her back and kissed me.
“Our one anno anniversary.” She detto as she pulled back.
“Hayles I kind of brought te here so we could be alone and tell te something.”
“Yeah?”
“I Amore te Hayley.”
To my relief a smile spread across her face. “I Amore you, too.”
