"You don't have to say you love me
You don't have to say nothing"

"Engine 126, RA unit 126, Ladder engine 126, reporting to 327 Riverside Park. Adult Male, 19, trapped on a water tower. Engine 126, RA unit 126, Ladder engine 126, reporting to 327 Riverside Park. Adult Male, 19, trapped on a water tower." We all disperse from the kitchen and to our lockers to retrieve our gear. Dispatch calls out the situation one last time before shutting off. We all load up in the engine and put our headsets on.

I pull out my phone and start scrolling on Instagram. I can tell my brother is looking over my shoulder at my feed, but honestly, I don't mind. We always had the same friends, so he knew everyone I knew.

I scroll down to a post by one of mine and Tk's old best friends who was also a twin. Haden and Lesley. Unfortunately, Lesley passed away right after graduation from being struck by a drunk driver. It destroyed our friend group but especially Haden, so he started going down the wrong road. Right there next to Tk.

I swipe left to see the multiple pictures that Haden has posted and they are all ones of him and Lesley or her and her friends. The second to last one I come across has Me, Tk, Haden, Lesley, and Bri all sitting next to a huge bonfire. I tilt my phone slightly towards Tk to give him a better look at the picture.

"Wow, the senior bonfire. I honestly don't remember half that night."

"That's cause Bri brought drinks you couldn't even imagine." I laugh at the memories.

The other firefighters are looking at us so I turn the phone around to show them the picture of us. In the picture, we all have an alcoholic drink in our hands, and we all have the goofiest smiles on our faces.

"Wow, so you guys were party junkies. I can't image Raya getting blackout drunk." Marjan zooms in on me and Tk.

"Ha, Ha" sarcasm spills out of my mouth

Mateo leans in closer. "Who's the other 3 people." I pull back my phone and point to everyone and say out there names

I smile at the picture again "That's Bri, Haden, and the only one standing up is Lesley. Haden and Lesley were twins that we met in chemistry, in 10th grade, and I met Bri in 7th grade. Lesley was killed a few weeks after graduation. It was heartbreaking for all of us"

It's quiet in the engine before my dad turns around to look at me. "Have you talked to Bri recently?"

I take a deep breath and look out the window. "Umm, no, not since before we left."

My brother looks over at me in surprise. "Left, like before we left New York. Raya, it's been months." I look over at him and shrug my shoulders.

"It's not like she's reached out to me either. I don't know, maybe our friendship ran its course." I bring my phone back to my chest and continue to scroll and then drop it and look back at my dad who has now looked back to the road.

"Dad, you wanna know a fun fact?" I smirk and then look to Tk. My dad makes a "mhmm" noise and looks back at me. "Y'know Tk and Bri had a whole fling together in 8th grade, but I guess they both hated it because they both came out to me the next week."
