~Days later~

~Carl's POV~

I worried about Mary. She hadn't moved from her room since she found out that Noah died. It broke her heart. Everyone's really.

She hasn't eaten much, just some small pieces of food and water.

She hasn't spoke to me, Alex or anyone. I've tried, yet not succeeded.

Also she doesn't go to school with us. We'll not this week anyway.

So yeah. I'm worried.

~Mary POV~

As I sat in my room, gazing out of the window. I heard a knock at the door. I looked over and saw it was Carl.

"Hey baby." He greeted me. Usally I would say some remark and kiss him, but I have no energy to do that. Not today. "How are you today? I've brought you some cookies that Mason made with you."

"I'm not hungry" I simply said giving him the plate back.

"When are you going to be okay?" Mason innocently asked me, walking I to my room.

"I don't know." I honestly answered.

"That's been your response for everything." Carl mumbled, trying to play it off like it was cool. It was diffidently not cool.

"Mason go to your room." I quietly insisted. He left and I stood up to close the door, leaving me and Carl.

"Why did you-"

"Carl. You wanna tell me why you're being so insensitive?" I hissed taking him by surprise.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Carl I can't just, start being happy. Noah is dead. And you're here whining because I don't know what I feel anymore. You know what? You won't get it."

"Seriously? You're upset over one comment? Get over yourself. I've been here every single day since Noah died. I fucking miss him too. And all because I don't whine about him 24/7"

"Get out." I demanded. His face turns to sadness then anger.

"I will." Then he stomped off because he's moody.

I heavy breathed and continued to stare out of my window. Silent tears pricked the corner of my eyes, yet nothing came out.

I'm sick of crying.

I'm sick of people.

I'm sick of living.

~ Carl's POV ~

I rushed down the stairs, my face red with anger. The girl I love hates me. And at the moment, I hate her. But I don't. I want to apologise, hug and kiss her. Make everything okay.

"Carl?" Mason said, emerging from the kitchen. His eyes were red and his cheeks were glistening in the light.

"Yeah. I'm here."

"Are you mad at Mary? I heard you screaming. She had the same expression when she argued with Chris." Who's Chris?

"Oh okay. Well I'm sorry you had to hear that. And of course I'm mad. I don't want you to get involved, it's... adult stuff." I shuffled around for a bit, grabbing my stuff before I leave. "Do you wanna go to Jessie's?" He nodded and we walked out, taking in the windy breeze.

Me and Ron mostly played video games and then headed to 'school'. A garage in someone's house.

We wondered around thw street of Mary's house and I looked at her house sadly.

"Is she not coming to school again today?" Ron inquired, looking up at her house like I am.

"Not today. She's-" I noticed that Mary isn't in her room looking through her window. I ran towards the house, Ron  shouting my name.

I looked down stairs and she was nowhere to be seen. I checked upstairs and she wasn't in her room or anywhere else. Where is she? She's starting to get me worried.

I noticed a note that was written on a sheet of paper that was tucked inside a book. It was a Peter Pan book. I flicked through the pages and came across a page that had a quote underlined.

"Never say goodbye, because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting."
