I wake up to an alarm that I don't remember setting...I swear if my dad did this I'm leaving.

"Hey Luke" Bree says from the door.

"Hey Bree" I respond sleepily.

"So today is my day off I was think I could show you around town" she offers. I nod.

"Give me about 30 minutes" I say getting out of bed. She nods and walks out.

I get ready and when I walk back into my room after doing my hair I find a small box on my dresser.

I open it to find a silver band. On the inside my name is engraved with a heart next to it. I find a note inside the box.

'This was found in Eric's car. It's for you we don't know what his plan was for it but we thought you would like it

We all miss you
~your friends and family back home'

I feel my heart drop through the floor.

"What's that" I hear Bree ask from the door.

"A ring" I reply trying to hold in my tears.

"From?"

"My ex"

"Why would she send you a ring?"

"He didn't send it my mom did because he never got the chance to give it to me."

"Oh shit now I feel like a bitch for prying...I'm so sorry."

"Don't be....let's go" I say walking out of my room and slipping the ring onto my finger.

We arrive at the city mall and we walk up to a group of two girls and one guy.

"Hey guys" Bree yells across the courtyard.

"Hey" they all yell in unison. We walk up to them.

"Everyone this is Luke" Bree introduces "Luke this is Amanda, Allison and Wesley."

"Hi" I say shyly.

Amanda is a tall brunette who looks like she's in her early twenties. She's wearing a teal t-shirt and jeans. Her eyes are a light brown.

Allison looks a lot like Amanda...actually identical. She's wearing a black t-shirt with a leather jacket and ripped jeans.

Wesley has brown hair, green beautiful eyes, lightly tanned skin. He's wearing a black and white baseball t-shirt and faded jeans.

It takes me a while to realize that they are talking to me.

"I'm sorry what was that" I say slightly embarrassed.

"We were asking where you are from" Amanda say lightly laughing along with everyone else.

"Um I'm from Sandpoint Idaho" I answer even more embarrassed.

"So do you have a girlfriend back home" Allison questions.

"Guys" Bree wards off.

"Bree it's fine its a simple question" wesley says for me "so do you?"

I go from embarrassed to choked up and on brink of having a meltdown.

"Can someone show me the bathrooms" I ask.

Wesley takes to the bathrooms and walks in with me.

"Are you okay" he ask.

"Yeah" I say but he can tell I'm lying.

"What's wrong?"

"Okay so back at home I didn't have a girlfriend....in fact I've never had one."

"What's wrong with that?"

"I've only ever dated one person."

"You just said you've never dated any....wait."

"Yeah."

"So you have a boyfriend back home?"

"Had" I say starting to choke up again.

"You guys break up or something?"

"I would have rather ed a break up."

"Did he cheat on you?"

"No......he died" I say letting the tears flow out.

"Oh."

He embraces me. I quickly pull away and storm out of the bathroom not even knowing my way back to the group.

He catches up to me. He leads to back to the group.

"Hey we are sorry for asking" says Amanda.

"If it helps wesley is gay" says Allison.
