Ashton
Jaylee has been staying here these past few days. She's still as devastated as day one. She doesn't do anything but cry and sleep. She barely eats.

Ashton : -knock- Jaylee? Your friend Valerie is here.

Ashton : You can go in. The door is open.
Valerie : Okay...

Valerie
I walked into the room and saw Jay laying in bed as she looked up at the ceiling. She was lost.

Valerie : Jay?
Jaylee ; ...

Jaylee
I heard her voice but didn't move.

How the hell am I supposed to look at her? I'm to blame for her brother's death. It's my fault. I put him at risk...

Valerie : Hey...

Jaylee
She sat on the bed next to me and held my hand.

Valerie : I know you're hurting. I am too. We both loved him very much but we have to stand up from this. It hurts like hell, yes, but we have to stay strong! I need you Jaylee. I need my best friend...

Jaylee
I sat up and pulled her in for a hug because I know we both need it. We both feel the same pain.

Valerie : You need to stay strong for your family! For me!!
