My therapist looks at me with interest while waiting for me to finish; "well....so...what happend after you guys fell?" I smile and say "nothing." "what? What do you mean?" My flashback became a vivid picture in my head. I miss those days. "Ok I'll tell you" Eliet stares at me as If I were the last person on earth he would think would be this masked girl. Craig pulled him up and said, "Are you crazy, you just ruined our whole plan man!" "I was out of it Craig." "Why would you save her, that was the whole point of the plan," he screamed furiously.

Eliet glanced at me quickly and said "I don't know but let's just go." Lyra walked towards me. "Are you ok Starla?" "He acted like nothing happened." A tear escaped my eye and everyone glanced as Lyra hugged me for a moment. She then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the gym. "Are you ok star? What happened?" "w-when I c-came in he ap-proched me and..."

I wipe my tears off my face and breathed out to try to calm down "and what Starla?" "We danced and he told me sweet things that I never heard him say for a long time....and he sounded sincere when he told me I was beautiful..." "He doesn't mean it Starla... He was lying to pull that stupid prank!" "But that's the thing I know him better than anyone and he wasn't lying....and he didn't even know it was me in the mask."

"He clearly didn't care because as soon as he found out who you were he went back to normal!" "That's true..... look, I'm going to go home" "I'll go with you!" "No it's ok,go back to Johnny ....I don't wanna ruin your night" "You sure?" "I'm positive" "Allright, bye!" "Bye!" I walked down the the hall with my head down; with those words he said lingering in my head and poisoning my joy. I can't believe none of it....it's just a lie....but I still think.....ugh I need to stop thinking he meant it. I put on my coat and scarf and started to head home.

~*~

When i reached my house I saw Eliet sitting on the bench of my front porch. My house was covered with lights and Halloween decorations. Why is he just sitting there? I start walking closer .He looks at me and stands up. My heart starts to pound, my legs start to shake and my head is all over the place. What should I do? I reached the front door and stopped. "What do you want Eliet? I'm not in the mood for another prank of yours so just-" "Don't get the wrong impression I'm here to say that you better not tell anyone about what I said." "Is that all you have to say?"

He grips my coat while stepping closer to me. "Don't speak to me like you know me." I push him away. "Why do you act like this Eliet? Why do you hate me so much? After that night you..." "changed? Well why don't you ask your parents why? You don't understand anything so don't act like you know me!" "I do know you Eliet....I know you more than anyone or at least I use to, but I know you well enough to say that this isn't you!" "Then what is huh? Do you think I'm this little boy who needs help? I'm not!" "Eliet I..." "Do you really wanna know why I'm like this? Do you wanna know what I found out that day....when I came home I was hungry and I looked around the kitchen and I opened the jar that was close to the phone,you know the one that no one touches.

Anyways that day I found a paper inside the jar.You wanna know what it was?" "What?" "It was the receipt of the plane tickets your parents bought for mine!" "Oh my god!" "After I found out your parents walked in and started saying how they were sorry but it doesn't change the fact that they killed them!" "I didn't know Eliet, I swear!" he looked at me confused. "You didn't?" I started to step closer "No, I didn't I-"
