Chapter 1

"Ava! Ava! Ava!"

I stopped in my tracks and sighed in annoyance. I know I should be happy to see my best friend but I wasn't in the mood. She should know why. Every one knows. I turned around and faked a smile. She was running towards me almost hitting someone in the face in the process, the person made a ugly face at her. I just hid a giggle when she finally reached me.

"Ava I've been trying to reach you this morning but you wouldn't answer your cell!" She practically screamed in my face. She has always been a loud mouth. I'm surprise I am not deaf yet.

"Sorry I am not in the mood today."

"Why? I have something important to tell you."

"You know why." We were now walking to our first class. I was dreading it. It was always the same each year on this date.

"What are talking ab- oh. I remember now. I'm so sorry. I am a jerk for forgetting what's today."

"It's okay."

"I am your slave today. You can tell me to do anything."

A sly grin came across my face and pulled her closer to me. I wrapped my arm around her neck.

"I want you to be silent the whole day."

Her eyes went wide in horrid shock.

"You know I physically can't do that!"

"You did tell me that I am your slave today."

"But-"

"No butt's, Tess. You are keeping your word because you are my best friend. We are right?"

She pouted for few seconds then sigh heavily.

"Fine. I am doing this for you. Only."

I stopped walking and jumped on her. I gave her a bone crashing hug and thanked her.

"Okay enough before we are late for class." I got off of her and started walking to first period. I followed after her, since we have the same class.

Art.

Loved the class and teacher but not the students. They were total assholes on this day.

Tessa walked in first then me. I knew that this class is going to drag on. I took in oxygen to calm myself before stepping in the doorway.

"She's here!" Everyone went to their seats as fast as they can thinking I won't know what is going on. They did something. I just know it. I looked around the room. It didn't take me long to notice what they did.

The board had large black letters that spelled out:

It's March 1st! You know what that means! The anniversary of the Cortez- Vasquez double murder and the missing of their daughter Jessica! A party is tonight to celebrate the anniversary at Moral Cemetery. Free booze and a ghost hunt! 

Anger and hurt bubbled inside me. I couldn't believe they stooped even lower this year! How can teenagers be this cruel! 

My best friend gave me an apologetic look. She started walking up to the board but a bunch of guys blocked her way. She stopped and turned around coming back to me. She gave me a sorry look my way. 

"Don't be sorry they should be." I pointed a finger at the guys and went up to one them that looked like the ring leader. The teacher wasn't here yet so I could do anything to them. I swung my fist back before he could suspect something. My fist collided with his jaw and he stumbled back into the board. He screamed in pain and I saw blood spurting out and his jaw looking quite funny. I grinned evilly. I broke his jaw. 

"Let's go, Tessa." I grabbed my best friends wrist and stormed out of the class room. I am ditching school. There is no point to be there if I am going to get hurt and humiliated. It happens every fucking year since I got into high school. I am going to skip this day starting now. Never again. And the day just began. 

"Ava you can't just skip school!" She gasped after she said that. 

"It's okay Tess. You don't need to be silent anymore." 

"Oh thank god! I was about to go bat shit crazy!" She tug at my waist and pushed me against the wall. Trapping me with her body. She looked right in my eyes.

"Ava you have been my best friend since the beginning of middle school and it pains me to see you like this. It's time to move on with what happen eight years ago." 

"I can't move on! I lost three people I cared about! Two are buried six feet under and the other one is missing! I don't even know if she is still alive anymore! I just can't deal with this anymore!" I burst out, surprising myself and collapsed against her chest and buried my face in her shirt. I let out all my emotions I have locked up for years. It has been difficult, to live my rest of my life without seeing that happy family that use to live next door to me. It's been hard to see that house still there, where it all began. 

"It's okay hun. Let it all out." She pulled me with her to the ground and put me into her lap. She cradled me like when my old childhood friend use to when ever I got hurt. She was like an older sister I never had. I was a lonely child until recently my mom had a baby a few years ago. My baby brother, that I protect with all I can. I will not let him disappear like Jessica did.

"A lananitanana, nanitaella, nanitaella..." I smiled and sniffled at the old Spanish lullaby that my childhood friend use to sing to me to make me feel better. 

A/N sorry it was short! I promise the next chapter will be longer ;) comment and vote please! :) The lullaby at the end is A lananitanana by The Cheetah Girls. I miss them so much! :(
