"Thanks for showing up," Zack said with a hint of sarcasm.
The group looked tired and beaten up.
"How's your girlfriend?"Sam pipped up.
"Low blow."
"Same here, bud."
"No, but actually, how is she?"
"I'm fine."
Ollie pipped up from behind me.
"Oh shit, hi," I said, hugging her.
"Ow," She continued. "Thank you for saving my life."
I grabbed her waist. Our faces were close to touching.
"Now, kiss!"Missy said.
"God damn it, Missy!"I said.
This caused the group to laugh. Ollie then put her face into my shoulder.
"So, are we a thing?"I asked.
"Duh!"She laughed
She then kissed me.
"Awe!" The group said in unison.
I didn't care. I was happy she was alive.

At the range, I was terrified. Then I was shot. I was quickly losing energy. I was able to go back a couple of seconds. I pulled it out as it wasn't that deep. I got back, and I began my battle with consciousness. Everyone wanted to know. The thing that worried me was my dream. I was an empty cabin; I didn't recognize where I was until I saw someone come out of Evan's room.
A guy threw the door open.
"Whose Lily again?"A girl from the kitchen asked.
"Think Bella!" He continued. "How did someone... How does a group of people forget someone?"
He sat at the table. I then woke up. I headed downstairs to see no one. I soon walked into the living room to see Missy passed out. I slowly followed the sound of panicked voices. I walked behind Evan. Then everything happened.
"I'm going to get water," I announced.
I turned around and began to walk to the house. Suddenly I felt someone follow me. Suddenly I felt an arm go around my waist. I got a cup, and we headed upstairs.
"Hi," I said, turning around and kissing him.
We had fun that night. He was the only thing that made me feel normal.

Ollie and Evan were cute together, and if they found happiness, I didn't care. While they were having fun, we started talking about life. Eva was entailed in the notebook.
"Find anything interesting?"I asked.
She flipped me off.
"I deserve that."
"We might have to go on a trip."
"What do you mean?"Zack asked.
"Your great-grandparents used to live in a house in Branson, Missouri."
"Okay, and?"
"They stayed together until your grandparents decided to leave."
"Which side is she?"Sam asked.
"Your mom's,"
"Makes sense."
"Why?"
"My mom was weird about her."
"They had a house in Branson."
"It's like history is repeating itself."

Those were the last words of the night. We all decided to go to bed. I changed out of my sweatshirt and began to redress my shoulder. I saw the scars around my wound. I started getting flashbacks to what happened.
"Zack!" Sam screamed from outside the door.
I was brought out of my trance. I ran to the toilet and threw up. Sam kicked the door down. I began to cry.
"Are you okay?"He ran to me.
I began to shake as I pointed to my shoulder.
"A-are you having flashbacks?"He asked.
I shook my head yes.

I needed to get into the bathroom to get ready for bed. When Zack wasn't answering, I knew something was wrong. I saw him crying, and I knew I had to comfort him. We need to support each other through this craziness.
