"You can't always plan out life, life's like a bowl of skittles, m&ms, and peanut butter m&ms. Every time you reach into the bowl you might get something different."

Michael placed the bouquet of flowers on Cam's grave gently Brionna and the rest of the boys stood behind him quietly mourning.

"What would drive you to do this to yourself?" he asked the gravestone as if expecting Cam to pop out of the ground and answer. Michael felt Calum's hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go Mike,"

One months after the purge Cameron Black over dosed on her prescribed medication due to intense depression caused by bullying. When Cam was a freshman in high school another freshman pretended to be her girlfriend and hired a senior to rape Cam. He kidnapped her, took her to a hotel room, set up camera's in the room, and sexually assaulted her. Afterwards the senior informed all their classmates that there would be a party at their hotel room but instead of the door opening to show a party, Cameron Black emerged completely naked and only covered by a hotel sheet. A month later videos of the scandal were released, the police did nothing about it. Cameron kept her head held high all of the years she was at that school only being able to get through the years knowing that the purge would come and she would be able release her rage and sadness. After her purge with Michael, Brionna, Markus, Calum, Ashton, and Luke everyone noticed that her 'ex-girlfriend' was missing. They immediately knew it was Cam and bombarded her with names like murder, killer, dramatic, and other crude names that made her hate herself even more.  One person smashed her apartment windows in and wrote 'psycho bitch' on the the windshield of her car with permanent paint. Two days later Cam was found on dead on her living room couch by her next door neighbor who she usually visited everyday. She had a razor blade clutched in her hand along with multiple deep cuts all over her body. A note was found next to her which read

My dearest friends and others,

What I have done to those people on the night of the purge a year ago will not be justified by begging the sky for forgiveness but only with my death and blood. My life was one big mess of accidents and tragedies all 18 years of it, what's one more? Once you have found me you are allowed to morn but you cannot be stuck to me Michael you must find another girl... or boy, Brionna find a less crazy best friend, Luke save more lives this year, Calum find another person to lead your amazing group of punk rock boys, Ashton take care of Brionna and the rest of the boys that is an order.

Sincerely,

Cameron Black

p.s. Don't let them bury me in that disgusting green plot you know where to put me :-)
