*Troy's POV*

"We are finally home." I said happily. "Now I can relax and clear my mind. Would you like to stay here for night guys?" I asked.

"I will." Responded Miley.

"Lauren and I are always ready for sleepovers, plus we can't leave you like this." Replied Emily.

"I can't leave you like this neither." Smiled Peter.

"I can't thank you enough, I love you all. I will go to sit by the pool for a few minutes, you can choose a film if you want."

"Okay, if you need something just tell us we will be right here." Replied Emily.

I walked towards the pool and sat on one of the many seats around it and I stared at the clouds abouve. It was dark, the sun was still out but it was about to disappear. The moon was right over me. I like it when I see the moon and the sun under the same sky. I covered my face from the glare of the sun and leaned back. I suddenly heard something, I wasn't sure what it was but then I felt a water drop on my arm. I wiped it away. Is it going to rain? Then I felt a gush of water drop on my entire body. My jaw dropped as I rubbed my eyes and looked up. Peter was leaning on the roof with an empty bucket.

"Let's hang out with girls." He shouted then jumped back inside my room.

I got up and fluffed my hair, I was lost at words. I wasn't angry, more like having fun. I walked to the door and just as Lauren threw me a towel at my face, I caught it and slowly pulled it down to reveal an evil stare.

"I'm going to get you back for that."

She shurgged: "You can try, now let's go eat something."

"I'm wet." I said slowly. "Don't you know that I'm drenched because of you ?"

She shook her head and and pulled me outside and closed the door behind me. Miley, Peter, Lauren all fit well in Emily's car. Which was really surprising, but we looked cool as heck.

Cool as ice cubes, we're just five ice cubes in a convertible car. The music was on and we were laughing and enjoying the night. Damn it's been a while since I didn't feel like this.

"Can you turn off your music?" Shouted an unknown groupe of girls from a car right behind us.

"Keep it down!" Lauren flicked her middle finger at the crowd who was looking up. Too many people were looking at us. As Peter died from laughter.

"What are you doing, are you crazy?" Said Miley to Lauren.

"Bunch of losers!" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"One day we will get killed because of you, Lauren." Added Emily.

"Just shut up and ride." She giggled. I sighed.

"If you keep sighing you're going to release your soul one day." She told me. "There is a parking right there!" She screamed at Emily. I wish I could slap her she is irritating Emily.

*Harry's POV*

"Is this the first time you coughed blood?" Asked the doctor.

"Yes." I answered in a low tune.

"I see.Well I'm sorry Mr Harry but we still don't know whether it is because of the alcohol or something else. All you have to do now is rest and I will be back later to check on you." He apologized and left.

He walked out of the room they took me too, I was feeling so tired I can barley move. I think I should have told the doctor that this isn't the first time blood comes out when I cough. This might be cancer and I may have already reached my disease so there's no cure for it. That's exactly why I kept this a secret.

"Can I come in?" Asked someone from behind the door.

"Yes come in." I replied, as Melisse my lawyer showed up. "Oh it's you Melissa."

"Are you feeling any better Harry? I was afraid for you." She said worriedly, which put me comfortable to talk to her.

"Yes a little bit, Thank you. Look there is something I want to talk to you about, If you don't mind."

"Of course you can talk to me about anything you want to." She smiled. "Tell me what is it about?"

"Well, drugs" I muttered. "I have been taking drugs one year now." Actually she wasn't surprised. Instead she said:

"I know, and that is the reason why they arrested you ."

"What? What do you mean the reason why they arrested me? Wasn't I arrested because I was driving drunk?"

"Yes you were, but before that the police station received a letter from your high school saying that you should be arrested for selling drugs so when they stopped you it wasn't on purpose but then it turns out that your school didn't send any letter, it was sent by someone else. So as a lawyer I'm using this excuse to get you out of here."

"I see. So you mean that they kept me locked only to investigate in case I'm a drug dealer?"

"Definitely! We seem to get a long." She said as we pump fists.

"I don't know what I should have done without you."

"That's my job. I have to go and you must take a rest. I will be back tomorrow. Now take care."

"Thank you Melissa." I smiled. She made me feel like I can restore my life the way it should be.

I have to admit that I'm locked in the cell because of karma. Oh and because of me too. I thought by drinking and using drugs I can forget about my pain, the pain I have deep inside. These feelings, I haven't opened up to anyone except for Troy. What I did was wrong, I have done it, because of my parents. They have never called or visited how am I supposed to live a life without a mom or a dad? How am I supposed to love them when I have only met them once or twice? How am I supposed to have a heart? I had nothing but pain here. what's the point of it? Haven't they been suffering too, all the time?

There is just an echo where my heart used to be, the hole in my heart can be filled up right away, the hole in my heart is something other people can fill if only...
