I awoke the next morning around eight. It was the day when Tyler was leaving. I decided to just put my hair up into space buns and leave a few strands down to cover my scarred temples.

I placed on one of Chris's old sweaters and some leggings that were given to me by Ash. The leggings were solid black with a mesh print at the knees and upper thigh while Chris's sweater was a Motionless In White hoodie with a spiral in black and white on one breast and the MIW logo on the other. On the back, it said Motionless in all caps and the numbers 570. I wasn't wearing anything under it except for a bra, but I wasn't worried about how I looked.

I placed some black socks on my feet before heading out to the cafeteria. It was where we were all supposed to meet up. Debby had already left, and it was all thanks to her that I woke up this early in the first place. If she hadn't have woken me up, I probably would've slept till noon and Tyler would have already left.

But I know everyone better than that, I knew they would all wake me up. I smiled at the thought before making the turn into Cafeteria C. The place was being decorated with the help of our friends aside from Josh and Tyler. I'm assuming Josh was put on distraction duty.

"You guys should have woken me up earlier, oh my god. I could have helped!" I sighed.

"Well, the rose queen needs her beauty sleep, we know you haven't been sleeping well, so we let you sleep a little longer," Billie shrugged. I smiled at her. It was the first time that she had ever called me the rose queen.

"I don't know how to accept the nickname from your mouth so I'm just gonna smile," I giggled. She laughed as well causing the whole room to gleam. It was nice to be considered her friend again. I missed hanging out with her.

"Hey!! You're wearing my hoodie!" Chris gleamed.

"And my gorgeous leggings. They look good on you," Ashley beamed. I smiled at them.

"Do you think the outfit looks good?" I twirled around for them.

"Well duh, we have a good taste in clothes, put them together and you get a bomb-ass outfit," Chris shrugged.

"It looks good on you," Ashley nudged Chris, I laughed at them. While we knew that Tyler was leaving, none of us let the atmosphere feel dark. It was full of cheer and light. We continued to hang streamers and banners to honor him. I could tell that the crew stayed up late to make these for him, especially considering the short notice.

The cafeteria had made some different food today and added a lot more fruit than normal. I smiled. Tyler did love the fruit. He always used to tell us that it reminded him of Jenna. After about thirty minutes of getting the cafeteria ready, we were all ready to go get Josh and Tyler. I was most excited to see him. I had so much to talk to him about, like the letter.

I knew that I was probably going to cry, but what was new. I cried over everything. I knew that it was going to suck not having Tyler around anymore, but I was proud of him for getting out. He was able to start his life again and be able to see the world again.

Once we got to the room, Tyler and Josh were joking around as they normally do.

"No dude, like if there were to be a burglary and I was there with Jenna and our kids, future kids, of course, I would look up from the top of the steps and from the top of the steps I would just yell Scuse me," Tyler giggled," Could you please leave?"

This caused all of us to start laughing, even without knowing the whole conversation just imagining Tyler looking at someone who is trying to steal their things and just going 'scuse me could you please leave' was enough to make anyone laugh.
