XVII. No One Deserves To Feel Alone

"No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
No one should come and go
And have no one know he was ever even here"

"D-d-dont come near me." She yelled but was muffled a bit by the blaring music around them.

Andrea didn't wait for E-Hawks, reaction as she quickly turned around and made her way towards the large gathering of people near the canyon- blending in with the party. 

She figured this was the best way to get away from Hawk, and not be followed.

As she shuffled through the endless amounts of drunk girls and overconfident boys, she ignored the beers being spilled on her shoes as she neared the edge of the small forest that resided by the canyon. 

Funnily enough, close to where she had originally hidden behind the large boulder to eavesdrop on the popular girls when they had arrived at the party. 

Now she was back at the same spot, while they were out enjoying the night she had planned. 

Out with the boy she loved.

She thought she loved.

Thoughts of Hawk's lips filling Moons while they publicly embraced each other filled her mind as she felt her heart-shattering. 

Images of the boy with the near-perfect girl stabbed her as she loathed how she thought it could have been her. 

Andrea felt all the wind knocked out of her as reality was taking form right in front of her. 

The reality that Eli didn't want her. That the girls in her school were right. That she was a freak.

Andrea would have run into her car and driven as fast as she could away from the canyon if she had had her wits about her when she first left Eli.

Now it would just look weird if she tried to get over to her car, crossing in front of the whole party- and leaving all her friends without a ride. 

Don't get her wrong, Andi was prepared to do that. Her whole reality felt broken and she felt she truly had nothing left to lose. 

Miguel apparently hated her (for some unknown reason she'd have to figure out later) the boy she thought she loved broke her heart, and now she was back to where she started the year. 

No friends. No family. Nothing. 

Andrea would have drowned in her own self-pity if she hadn't heard a muffled cry approaching the shaded area near her. 

Somebody was crying. 

Someone had had almost as terrible a night as Andi and retreated to this deserted spot to cry. 

"...hello?" Andi whispered as she turned to locate the crying figure in the dark. 

suddenly the crying stopped and the only sound in the air was Andi's heaving breath.

She could feel the instant panic in the air, the person didn't realize someone else would be here. 

"I-Im not gon-n-na judge you. I wanna know-w if you're ok." Andre blurted out in a mixture of her own choked sobs and her stutter. 

There was a moment of silence. 

"I think I could ask you the same thing." a voice let out, trying hard to hide their pain.
