The four just survived a massacre and saw many of their friends die and this place didn't help with the whole thing.

July, Zack, Damien, and Abby arrived at the vast funeral of Lola, Mariana, Don, Marly, Lila, Olivia, Zoe, and Mason. "This is sad," Abby said and the other three nodded. "It fucking sucks being the survivors of a massacre like this one. Everyone we know dies and then some of them end up betraying us" July said looking directly at Don and Zoe's graves when she said that. "My sister stabbed me in the back literally and physically," Damien said and Zack held his hand, "now it's just us and let's promise we stick together I mean we survived together," Zack said and the other three smiled. "We've known each other forever, so yeah let's stick by each other," July said and the rest nodded. They sat back and continued to hear what people were saying about their friends.

July sat up in her bed thinking about the events of the massacre. She also remembered a key factor in how Don was one of the killers and that was when she was in the hospital. When one of the killers walked they walked with a limp and before they escaped Zack kneed that same killer in the stomach causing damage. These were both places where Don was injured, she slapped herself on her forehead wondering how she didn't pick up on this. Her mom then walked into the room and she has been gone for the majority of the massacre. "Hi," she said and her mom smiled at her, "we need to leave this town, I got a job opportunity in New York how do you feel about going there?" Her mom asked and she shrugged knowing she didn't have a choice. "Start packing up your things," her mom said and she nodded and then she closed the door.

Damien's parents were deeply affected by Zoe's death and he was a glass child his entire life ever since Zoe was born and now with her dead, they forgot all about him. His parents then left the town while Damien was at the funeral leaving him alone and so he stayed with  Zack for now. "You okay?" Zack asked and he smiled and nodded, "should be," he said and Zack nodded and looked back at the TV. Damien laid his head on Zack's shoulder, "I'm not fine." He said and Zack wrapped his arm around him, "I know, I wouldn't be either" Zack said and Damien's eyes started to water. "My parents just left me and my sister betrayed me and oh my God what else happened?" He said and Zack kissed the top of his head, "it's okay Damien, we will get through this" he said and Damien nodded and they continued watching the show.

Abby visited the graves of her dead friends. "Hey everyone," she said to them smiling, and then she pushed her hair back. "Do you all remember back in 6th grade when we were very close? We never argued we always had so much fun and I have no idea what changed but I wish we could go back to those days. I wish that whole massacre never happened because it ruined everything." She said sitting down in front of the Graves which were laid out next to each other. A few tears came down her face while she was talking to them. She wiped the tears away and continued to look at the Graves before she spoke again. "Why the fuck would you do this to us Zoe and Don I mean you didn't even have a good reason to kill everyone like that. Now there's only four of us standing but we will continue your legacy" she said standing up and leaving not wanting to cry right then and there.

"So this is goodbye?" Zack asked and she nodded. "I'll call every single day love, and I love you so much," July said hugging Zack and he hugged her back. "You better," he said smiling and she smiled back. "July!" Her mother yelled and she grabbed her bags. "I'll miss this place," she said smiling and he smiled back at her, "this place will miss you too," he said and she walked out and put her bags in the car. She took one last look at the house she's been living in forever and she got in the passenger seat. "New York here we come," her mother said and she smiled.
