"hi wes," i sat down in front of his grave.

"theres not really much going on-" i started, then put my head down.

"oh who am i kidding!" i whined, "brady and i are doing fine, i think, its just.. i can't stop thinking about walker. he's constantly in my head. maybe its better if brady and i break things off. i just don't know what else to do! i can't do that to brady if another boy is constantly on my mind while we are together."

"should i break up with him?" i asked, looking at his headstone, wanting an answer so badly, but knowing i wouldn't get one.

i stood up without saying anything else. i wiped my few tears that i didn't even know fell, and got in my car. i drove to bradys house.

"hi," i knocked on his front door and he opened it.

"oh hey liv," brady sighed, "i wasn't expecting you to be here, whats up?"

"i think we should break up." i blurted out.

bradys mouth twitched, but that was about the only reaction he had.

"me too," he admitted and looked down.

oh?

"really?" i asked, slightly surprised we felt the same way.

"it was fun while it lasted livi, i just don't think its meant to be for us," he tilted his head slightly and frowned.

"i know brady, i think we should just be friends.." i tried to smile.

he nodded sadly, opening his arms out. i hugged him carefully, him tightly wrapping his arms around me, probably for the last time.

suddenly, my phone started vibrating from aryan calling me separately.

"olivia what does that mean?" he questioned my message into the phone.

"i- brady was so kind but-"

"but hes not walker."

i let a breath, aryan reading my mind.

"but hes not walker." i repeated in a whisper.

"i knew it! i fucking knew it!" aryan screamed into the speaker.
