" Ella?" I asked as my head turned to look at the girl who was standing at the end of the table, and to my surprise she was alive? I didn't understand who she was alive... Every person that I had talked to since the shooting had told me that she didn't survive. I even when to her funeral with her father, and yet here she was. What looked like very alive, so much that she was crying.
" Sweet... I don't understand..." Ella stuttered, looking like she was gonna faith. As her body tilted backward, a not-familiar boy jumped behind her, grabbing her from falling to the ground.
" You okay, El?" he asked, as he moved his hand over her hair that was sticking to her forehead.
" Yeah- yeah I'm fine" Ella stuttered, as she grabbed the table of the booth making her stand straight as she continued to look at me.
" I thought you were dead," I said, pushing the guy that was sitting beside me out, so I could stand up, just to look closer at Ella who again looked like someone who was going to faith.
" I wasn't! Who are you alive? My dad said you were dead! You even have a grave!"
" So do you!" I snapped at her, as she started to cry louder. Confused I looked at the guys that were sitting at the table, all of them looked down which made me grin my teeth. They had all known and did tell me. All this time I had no idea that she was alive, and yet here she was.

" I don't understand" Ella stared as she, Sweet Pea, and Christain settle down in a booth. Christain's eyes were nearly on Sweet Pea the whole time, as he took the spot beside Ella. The two teen boys kept close eyes on each other as a server came over to the table.
" What can I get you this evening?" the young woman asked, smiling at Ella.
" I'll just have a strawberry milkshake please," Ella said, as she shoved Christan's side making him look at her, then at the waitress.
" umm I'll have some fries and the same milkshake"
" root beer please," Sweet Pea said, which made Ella's heart drop to the ground. She had really just missed him and for him just to be sitting right in front of her, and saying something else than what he was ordering was so unreal for her.
" Okay, I'll be back with you guys' food in a few minutes," she said, as she turned to the kitchen leaving the three teens in a very depressing silence. Soon Christan signed, grabbing his phone and walking outside to talk to someone on the phone now leaving Ella and Sweet Pea alone.

" Well Sweet, Ummm this is very weird" I laughed, as the waitress arrived with the drinks, as well as Christian's fries. I knew that he had bought them for me because he knew me too well at this point. Smiling at the food, I pushed the basket in front of me.
" Who was that boy?" Sweet asked, looking at me happening to pick fries up in my hand, I know by the sound of his voice that he was jealous and I was gonna use it.
" Chris? you know him. We met in Toronto, you know we have been together all this time that you have been dead" I said, looking straight into his eyes, wishing that he would understand what it was like for me to see him sitting alive and drinking. He would never understand it, and I was not gonna educate him about my feelings, not again.
" You wouldn't remember him" I snapped at him, taking a sip of my drink. My eyes when to outside where Chris was standing leaning on his bike.
" I missed you, Ella" Sweet said, and laid his hand on my hand. It was a weird feeling that he was touching me for the first time in years and it felt kinda like a big joke that was here, and the fact was that someone had shot meanwhile lied to us both. We both had had a funeral with people that we loved to mourn. But the question still reminded, me because who had done this?

" Sweet this isn't like a movie," Ella said, looking straight into my eyes, I knew her eyes. I knew what she meant by that because it wasn't easy for any of us at this point. We had lost so much of our spark for each other, while we still made out life like we wanted it to be, and if Ella was happy with this guy I didn't remember I wasn't gonna be the one that was gonna break it up.
" Are you in love?" I asked
" Am I what?"
" Are you in love with this dude?" I asked, which made Ella look weirder at me than she had done the whole evening
" Sweet, I'm in love, but not with him" of course she was with another one, I could be so stupid that she would still love me. Looking towards the door, the guy that he was with came in, the bell made all people turn to the door.
" Sweet I'm still in love with you, even though you may have been dead for the last two years," she said, smiling all over her face.
" Now I need to get going. You should come to Cherly's house later" she said pushing herself out of the booth and walking straight towards the guy who was holding her jacket. He said something to her, making her laugh then she smiled at me one more time before they left.
I continued to watch them both, mostly Ella as she laughed and smoke a cigarette, I had never thought that I would be watching her alive and well just a few steps away from me, and yet had talked to me and told me that she still missed me.

" What did he say?" Christian asked me, as we stood outside the diner, my eyes were on the ground as I pushed a cigarette between my lips.
" Nothing really I couldn't really believe it all, like me and to be honest he was kinda freak," I said, making Christian laugh himself grabbing my box with cigarette in it.
" You could just ask," I said.
" I would rather just take one"
" Jesus dude, I would rather kill you right now" I laugh, kicking him hard
" Ella fuck!" he cursed as he grabbed his leg. Watching him jump around in the parking lot, I smiled, how in the hell did I find this dumbass?
