A/N: Just wanted to tell u guys the story behind this story.........i asked my friend for ideas, and she replied with 'cheesy ramen' XD 

So here u go XDXDXDXD ^^

Laughter. Screaming in happiness. The boys, wrestling on the ground, mocking each other. The girl, hand over her mouth, stifling her laughter as she held up the camcorder.

"Are you guys seriously fighting over it?"

Both of them stopped together, heads whipping around to teasingly glare at her, dramatic gasps floating up in the air.

"How dare you!? It is something worth dying for!"

"Mhm? Yeah, I'll just take your word for it."

She smiled, watching them continue fighting without noticing her grab it, settling comfortably onto the sofa.

"Idiots."

Getting up, she shook my head, trying to dispel the scattered thoughts and memories floating around.

"Hey, Mal! Come and see what Jacob and I found!"

"If it's another dead worm, I swear-"

A soft smile tugged at the end of her lips, eyes clouding over as she lost herself in the memories again, the events of yesterday echoing inside her.

"Look, Mal......you....I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I can't let you continue to do this. It's been years, Mal, and you're still hung up on them!"

"....don't call me that."

"Huh? Don't call you wha-"

"DON'T CALL ME MAL! ONLY THEY CAN! NO ONE ELSE!......please...."

"Mallory. You have to let them go. It's been years, and if you keep on doing this, you might just-"

"You don't understand! No one does! The memories, of them....they're the only things keeping me sane! Without them, the others would come out, all the other thoughts....and then I'll drown in them..."

"Mal, I-I mean Mallory, look-"

"You know what I had to go through? I lost the two people, who meant the most to me! The two people...who'd managed to stop the incoming tsunami inside me.....who'd saved me.

And now, without them, it's back, only stronger, and it's trapped me! It's slowly killing me, slowly driving me insane!"

"Mallory, I-"

"Please.....go away."

Walking through the empty halls, the memories continued flying around inside her, each one after the other, crashing violently against the walls she'd put up.

Trying to get out.

Entering the room, she froze, eyes captured by the sole object sitting there on the table. Completely unchipped; as new as it looked before.

Looking so..

Innocent.

"Mal!!! Why'd you finish it all! I wanted some too!"

"Ahem, correction, he means me and him wanted some too!"

The two boys glared at her, for real this time, towering over her as she watched them, eyes wide.

"Sorry, boys...maybe we can go get some more?"

Instantly cheering up, the two childish teenagers agreed quickly, bouncing out the door, followed by the girl, shaking her head at how easily they forgot it.

"Mal! Hurry up!"

"Coming, coming!"

Hurrying down the stairs, she ran out the door, following the two boys as they walked down the street, pushing and shoving each other good-naturally.

Until she couldn't hear them anymore.

"J-Jacob? Brandon?...guys?"

A squeal of the tires, a scream and,

Silence.

"J-Jacob? This isn't funny! Get up you two! Open your goddamn eyes! YOU IDIOTS!"

Tears streaming down her face, hands coated in the crimson flowers blooming from their bodies.

"You idiots....."

Collapsing on the floor, her hands came up, cupping over her ears frantically, screaming as she tried to drown out the noises.

The sound of tires skidding constantly playing in her head, their screams resounding through her body, haunting her.

Looking up, she stared at the bowl, sitting there.

Empty.

Once filled to the brim with steaming, hot ramen. Their favourite. The thing they always fought over.

And the thing that eventually led them to their deaths.
