"Ace was Bret all along," Skye whispered, "No wonder why his lips tasted like Bret's when we kissed back in the hospital."

Ella smacked her friend, "Why do you love him so much?! He abandoned you!"

Skye held her cheek, feeling a rush of tears overwhelm her, "He loves me! Something you could never have with the way you act towards people!"

With Bret, it was a whole other story, "ONE MORE SONG EVERYBODY! FOOTBALL GUYS, FRESHMAN, JV, AND VARSITY COME DOWN TOWARDS THE END OF THE SONG! I'm gonna signal for you guys alright?"

You live your life recklessly
It's hard to hide jealousy
You talk a mile a minute
You take the truth and spin it
You took it to the limit (don't blame me)
Survival of the fittest
You cut my fuse and lit it
And I'm a psycho menace (don't blame me)
I don't wanna have to do this again

I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for change 'cause I've been here before
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war

My heart and soul is tempting me (To waste your place in history)
You start to fall bend and break, (Your weak disease is your misery)
You talk a mile a minute
You take the truth and spin it
You took it to the limit (don't blame me)
Survival of the fittest
You cut my fuse and lit it
And I'm a psycho menace (don't blame me)
I don't wanna have to do this again

I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for change 'cause I've been here before
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war

I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for change 'cause I've been here before
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war
I pray for peace but I'm ready for war

"Ella! I prayed for peace! Now you got me ready for war! YOUR ACTIONS HAVE BEEN UNNOTICED FOR TOO LONG!" Bret yelled at Ella, almost cursing across the gymnasium. Ella proceeded to sprint down the steps and charged toward Bret, "Instincts always kick in."

"SKYE WILL NEVER LOVE YOU!" Ella screamed towards Bret, still running at the blonde boy, "CHRIS WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR HER! YOU NEVER WERE!"

Marshall got hold of Ella and held her back from attacking Bret, "You'll never hit him! Chris abused her you psycho bitch! Skye has never been happier--"

"HE WAS BETTER THAN THAT WANNABE SOLDIER! HE NEVER ABANDONED HER!" Ella interrupted.

"I never abandoned her, I enlisted not knowing Skye would be lonely!" Bret defended himself, "I WOULD NEVER PUT HER IN HARMS WAY. AT THIS RATE, I'M MISERABLE BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE ORDEAL! I NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN!"

Ella stopped in her tracks, "YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING LIAR!"

Ella bit Marshall and stormed Bret, "THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE YOU FUCKING LIAR!" Ella slapped Bret, he fell to the ground holding his cheek. Unfortunately, he slammed his head and got knocked out.

*BRET'S MIND (Bret's pov when inside his mind)*

"Ivan, I'm back somehow," I spoke embarrassed of what had happened.

"Ella attacked you. I'm very glad you didn't retaliate." The voice spoke smiling.

I couldn't believe what Ella had done to me, it seemed she had slapped me powerful enough to knock me out, "I'm weak then. I should've been stronger than that."

"Showing others your strength shows the enemy your attack methods." The voice brought a memory from his hand, showing a time that related to the words. The memory was distorted and foggy.
