I met with John after calc. ended, I have no reason, but I did, I wanna know if I can really trust him. " John" I stated " we need to talk" he replied "I know that" I chuckled.
"it's about your brother"
" what about him? the fact that he's dead"
"yes a-"
"I don't want to talk about it" I say cutting his words.
"it's something important"
"LOOK NEW KID, WHAT'S DONE IS DONE, SO JUST GET OVER IT" I exclaimed and I walked away.

Why & how did John know about Jack's death? maybe I shouldn't have shut him off. I tried taking it off my mind but it didn't work. even catching up with Stella, she tried it help, she told to stop and take a second.

' Dear Jack,
I made another new friend, it's new kid, John. Umm uh he know's about your death' I stopped there, I couldn't help it, I felt tears fall down my face, thing just keep falling apart.
" hi Alexa" the caller said
" who are you?"
"it's John"
"what do you want?"
"why are you crying"
"answer me first"
"I uh- it's about your seventeenth birthday"
"Please, let's not talk about that now"
"but it has to be, the guilt is killing me"
