*Teddy*
"Daddy," I giggled running over to him. "Guess what I did."
"What did you do teddybear?" Daddy asked placing me on his shoulders.
"You have to guess silly," I laughed placing his police hat on my head.
"You drew a picture," daddy guessed laughing.
"No," I giggled. "I got an A on my spelling and science test."
"You did," daddy gasped shocked. "We'll then I think that deserves a surprise."
"Really," I gasped bouncing on his shoulder. "What kind of surprise, daddy?"
"I was thinking pizza with the guys?"
"Yay!" I yelled hugging daddy's head. "Thanks daddy."
"Anytime teddybear," daddy smiled. ---
"Ouch," I yelped falling onto the floor when my alarm went off.
"Teddy, are you alright?" Hacker yelled threw the door.
"I'm fine," I said turning my alarm off. "I just fell in the floor, I'll be down in a minute."
"Alright," he said and I heard him walk off. I sighed in relief pulling myself up on the bed before looking at the picture I had on my nightstand.
"Another year," I whispered wiping my eyes as tears started falling. "I can do this." ---
"You okay?" Hacker asked when I walked into the kitchen.
"Fine," I smiled. "I need to call Angelica later though."
"Here," he said handing me a small phone. "You can use that until we can find yours, I need to be at the clubhouse for a few hours."
"So I'm going with you," I said and he nodded. "Let me grab my flip-flop and I'll be ready."
"Is Teddy your real name?" Hacker asked as he stopped at a red light.
"No," I replied. "It's Theodora, when I was little the closet I could get to that was Teddy and it just stuck. What's yours?"
"Preston," he said and I laughed. "What?"
"Sorry," I giggled. "I thought of an old stuffed bear I years ago and I named it Preston."
"Haha," he grumbled. "I got to get to church, you be okay to get inside?"
"I'll be fine," I smiled watching him run off. "Crazy male biker."
I slowly made my way to one of the swings before pulling the phone out and dialing Angelica's number.
"Hello?" Angelica answered.
"Hey, how's your trip?"
"Teddy!" I winced pulling the phone away from my ear. "Babe are you okay? You're not staying by yourself alone? Do I need to come home?"
"Calm down," I said. "I'm doing okay still a bit shaken up. No, Hacker is staying with me at the house, finish the tour you've worked hard for that."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure." I laughed, "I was just calling to see if you could do me a favor."
"What do you need?"
"You remember my dad's old collection of teddy bear pins? I was hoping you could pick up the one I ordered up from the post office."
"Yeah," Angelica said. "I don't mind. You feeling alright since today is the day."
"I guess," I sighed. "It's hard knowing he's not here and sometimes it feels like it gets harder every year. I miss him."
"When I get back we'll go visit him," she said and I smiled. "When was the last time we went together?"
"Thanks Lica," I whispered. "Your the best."
"Of course I am," she said and I laughed.
"Hey Teddy," I jumped when Lily and Willow yelled. "Who are you talking too?"
"Angelica," I said jumping when Willow grabbed the phone and put it on speaker.
"How's Tanker treating you?" Lily laughed.
"He's driving me crazy," Lica yelled and I giggled.
"Theodora Breanna Daley," someone yelled and I tensed jerking my head towards the front of the compound.
"Oh no," I whispered.
"Teddy is that who I think it is?" Lica asked and just nodded my head hearing Lily tell her I nodded my head yes.
"Theodora, my baby girl look at you. I told you these biker aren't good for anything but hurting you."
"Who are you?" Willow asked and I shrunk back into the swing.
"I'm her..."
