Six years ago.
"You know, I really wanted to see Quint." Mia huffed.
"Whatever." Cin said and rolled her eyes. James came In.
"Guys, we have a problem." He said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Quint, and Toby...."
"Had an accident." He completed. I gasp.
"Are they okay?" I asked.
"Toby sustained some injuries......"
"And Quint?" Mia, Cin and i asked.
"He passed away." He replied.
"No!! Noo!!" Mia said.
I sat down and tears rolled from my eyes.
-*-
"Hey." I said. Toby turned, his eyes puffy.
"Liz." He said and hugged me.
"It's okay." I said.
"I just saw my brother entering the ground. It's not okay. It's never going to be okay!!" He cried.
"Toby." I heard James say.
"Let it out." Mia said. He cried on my shoulders and i hugged him tight.
"We are here for you Toby." I said.
"Yeah." We all said.
"We are in this together." Mia said crying. Stephen patted her back.
"We are all in this together." I said consoling Toby. He pulled away and wiped his tears away.
"We are one." James said and held Toby's hand, Toby nod and looked at me.
"We are all one." I said and held his other hand. Stephen joined and held my hand, Mia held his, and we all looked at Cin.
"Urgh. Fine. I'll join in." She said and held Mia's and joined with James.
"Forever and always."
******************************************
It was that day. That day when we all came together, as one and formed a strong bond.
We all went to Heather's first. She enjoyed all our company and we rode off to the park.
Toby and Stephen joined us. Apparently, Tiffany would be coming later.
"Drink! Drink! Drink!!!" The boys yelled as we girls (Cin, Mia, Naomi and i) drank the alcohol.
"Done!" Cin said and dropped her jug. Naomi finished hers and then i did.
"This is not fair!" Mia said and we laughed.
"Say cheese girls." James said as they took our pictures.
"Okay, you guys have to win us a teddy." Mia said.
"Urgh! That shit." Stephen cursed.
"Hey, it's fun!" Mia defended.
"Hold up, Tiffany is on her way." Toby said.
"Does she really have to come?" Cin asked rolling her eyes.
"Cinnamon." Toby said.
"Urgh. The nerve!" Cin said and just like old times, they chased each other.
"Hi." I heard that voice.
