Tori's POV
We all climb back in the car and we're all silent. I'm driving us home. We get home and just listen to the silence. We still had crazy Crystal so it wasn't going to be AS bad with Joselyn and Saira gone. Ten minutes into the silence I get yet ANOTHER phone call. Oh come on! Crystal, Leigh, and Matt all disperse and I'm left alone in the middle of the floor. I pick up the phone.

"Smart move, Tori. I underestimated you. Maybe, I'll leave them alone," the voice said.
"When are you going to leave ME alone is the real question," I said.
"Soon enough. Don't cross me, Tori, and I'll leave you alone," the voice said and the call drops.

Leigh's POV
I sit in my room and cry until I couldn't cry anymore. I missed Joselyn and Saira and they were only gone an hour. I just throw my cover over my head and cry for about ten minutes until I hear a tap on my window. I wipe my eyes and walk over to my window. It's Malak yet again. I open it and climb back into bed.
"Are you okay?" he asks me.

"Yeah. I just really miss Joselyn and Saira," I reply. I'm trying to fight back tears. It was a fail.
"It's okay," he says rubbing my back.
I cried for what felt like forever. I cried until I fell into a deep sleep.

Crystal's POV
I sat in my room watching PLL which I would never do. I never watched PLL. I didn't even like the show. All I can think of is "Who the heck is A?!" and of Joselyn and Saira and how much they love this show. I had about five boxes of tissues, one garbage can, and a tub of ice cream. Matt came in a few minutes later in the middle of my meltdown. He embraces me into a hug and I cry into his shirt.

"It's okay. I know how much you miss them, Crystal," he says. Matt was like my ride or die friend along with the rest of my squad. He's like the brother I never had since I don't have any brothers. I look up to meet his eyes. He wipes a tear off my face.
"Everything's gonna be okay," he tells me. He kisses my forehead as Myles comes climbing in through my window.

Could this be anymore embarrassing?

Matt's POV
Crystal is having a meltdown, okay? I'm comforting her as she eats her tub of ice cream and is surrounded by used tissues and tissue boxes. I kiss her on the forehead as her boyfriend, Myles, comes climbing in the window.
Crap! I'm dead, I think to myself. I don't think he saw me but still. I really like Crystal. She's a beautiful girl and a great friend.
"What's wrong with Crystal?" he asked me.
"She misses her friends," I told him. "I'll let you take it from here."
I walk out the room to leave them alone.

Myles' POV
I climb in through Crystal's bedroom window to used tissue on the the floor, tissue boxes left and right, and a garbage can right next to her bed. She's crying into Matt's shirt and has a tub of ice cream in her lap. Matt sees me, gets up, and leaves the room. I just sit there and hug her. I know there was no point in trying to talk to her. She sobs, eats, sobs, eats, and keeps going in that order.
"You shouldn't do this to yourself. It's not healthy," I tell her.

She cries harder.
"Look at it this way," I say as she looks up at me with puppy dog eyes. "At least they're happy."
"Yeah," she sobs. She blows her nose and she finally starts to calm down. "I just wish it didn't have to be this way."

"I know," I say. "Everything will be fine, Crystal. You'll see."
