Imogen's pov

It's been a month, a month since Hayden and I found our mum in the bath tub, a month of it being just the two of us. Luckily my friend Tabby's family took Hayden and I in. We are both upstairs just now unpacking our stuff, we are sharing a room, we each have a bed and the rest is for us to share. I wouldn't have survived this without Hayden, I'm so glad we have each other and after everything we have been through we are back to being us. I never found out why Hayden blew up at that jock the way that she did, honestly it scared me, the Hayden I know is loving and silly. I know that version of Hayden is still in there, I think I was so wrapped up in being popular and getting the cool guys attention that I never wondered what Hayden was going through. Hayden comes in with the last box sitting it down on the floor, she won't let me lift a thing. Hayden always wears a navy blue SnapBack, to the point I can't imagine her during the day without it. I'm rummaging through a box when I find an old photo album, I open it up and there's a picture of Hayden, our mum and I. "Hayden come see this" I say to her, she comes up and sits beside me "mum was beautiful wasn't she" I nod with tears in my eyes. Hayden wraps an arm around me and kisses me on the head "I love you Imogen" "I love you too Hayden".

Hayden's PoV

I'm ready and heading down the stairs to hear Mrs Hayworth asking Imogen if she's sure about going to school. I go and sit beside Tabby and take a bite of toast "what about you Hayden honey? You want to go to school? You don't have to" I smile with my mouth full. "Yes Mrs Hayworth, thank you tho, thank you for taking us in" I smile and she smiles back at me. "Right will us three head to school?" Tabby asks us. I nod and grab my board "later Mrs Hayworth" I walk over to her and put my fist out for a fist pump, she pumps my fist and replies "em yeh, later Hayden" I laugh and leave. I'm giving Imogen and Tabby some space to talk so I skate a little in front of them. I'm holding Imogen's books because yeh I'm very over protective of her now plus I'm older by 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Wait this isn't the way to school, this is the way to our ... yep old house. Imogen looks like she's about to freak out so I go up and pull her in for a hug whilst Tabby puts the keys under the mat. "I wanted a picture Hayden, why can't I go in and get that picture I'm pathetic" I sigh and turn her to face me "your not pathetic, you lost someone, we lost someone, and only we know how that feels, so as long as we have each other then we will be ok, plus I can't go in there either" she smiles at me and leans in whilst I wrap my arms around her again. Once Tabby is done we are on out way back to school ....yey.

And here we are Millwood high. "Can we just go home? I promise to rub your feet and even use that cream you like that stinks" I can tell by the look Imogen's giving me it's a no. "No we got to rip the band aid off, like you said we have each other, now let's go" she grabs a hold of my hand and we walk into school. Oh of course it's fucking Karen "Imogen? Hayden?" I try to walk away still holding Imogen's hand "you know she's like Medusa and if we avoid eye contact we will be unharmed" I say whilst trying to run for my life from Karen. Tabby laughs at me and follows us down the hall until they are both stopped by Karen. With some not so friendly banter going back and forth between Tabby and Karen she then tells Tabby "you weren't there Tabitha, I was, it was traumatising". "There was more than one thing that happened to me that night that traumatised me" I mutter and Imogen turns round trying not to laugh, tabby looks confused. "Anything you need, you just let me know ok? Especially you Hayden" she finishes with a wink, yep no I'm good. I smile trying to hide my disgust and go to walk away when she grabs Imogen's hand and pulls her in for a hug. She's whispering in Imogen's ear but I can hear what she's saying "nobody wants your pregnant tragic ass here" well bitch wants to die, before I can reply or move Tabbys grabbing a hold of us both pulling us down the hall. Imogen turns to me once we are far enough away "remember I need you, so no more fights, no more ways of us being split up, me and my baby need you" I sigh, I know she's right "I promise" I wrap my arm around her and we walk with Tabby. "You think I can get a little SnapBack for your baby?" They both look at me and laugh as we make our way to class.
