"Mom! Have you seen my favorite blue shirt?!" I shout to my mom. She knocks on the door and says, "Here the blue shirt you was looking for. " "Thanks mom, where would I be without you." She walks downstairs. I quickly change, because I'm going to my friends. I run downstairs and put on my shoes. "I'm going!" I say when I open the door. "Jade wait a minute. Don't forget tonight's dinner, dad and I have a surprise for you and James." "No no, I won't forget I promise. Can I go now?" "No wait!" James says. "What James I have to go." He gives me a hug. "Where is that for?" I ask. "Something bad is going to happen and I needed to know I hugged you for the last time." He whispers in my ear. "What are you talking about, nothing's going to happen. I'm leaving, to Thomas. Bye mom, dad, James."

I knock on the door, Thomas opens it. "Hey babe, what took you so long?" "Thomas, my brother James was weird again." "What did he say this time?" "That something bad was going to happen and that he just wanted to hug me for the last time. Why would he ever say that." "That is weird, probably joking like always. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen." "You're probably right. Shall we go to Sara's place?" "Sure what ever you want."

"Hey Sara, wanna go out with me and Thomas?" "Can my boyfriend Ashton come?" "Of course." "Ashton, do you want to go out with me and my friends?" She asks him. "Why not." "Ashton, this is Jade my best friend and Thomas her boyfriend." "Nice to meet you guys." He says to us. "Nice to meet you too Ashton." Thomas and I say. "So what do you guys want to do today?" Thomas asks us. "Maybe we can go to the cinema or something?" Sara proposes. "Sure." We all say.

So we went to the cinema and saw The Martian.

"So who wants to order pizza?" Ashton asks. "Me." "Me." Sara and Thomas say. "Fuck what time is it?" I say shocked. "It's half past 6" "Thomas please tell me you're kidding." "No, I'm sorry. 
Babe what's the problem?" Thomas asks. "I have to go now, my parents are going to kill me. I had to be home a hour ago. Can you please bring me home? I know you may not drive officially yet, but please for this one time?" "Of course babe." I run to his moms car and get in. He gets in and start driving.

When we arrive at my home I ring the door, nobody opens. I ring again, and again. But no one opens. "Thomas there not home, I totally forgot my key and they are probably to the restaurant we were going." "Then I bring you there." "That's the problem, they didn't tell me which restaurant. What do I do?" I'm totally freaking out. I try to call them, but they don't answer. I try over and over again and over and over. But no one is picking up. "Thomas what do I do?" "Just be calm, there's probably nothing to worry about. Come back with me to Sara's and then we eat something and try to call again, okay?" "Okay..." We go back and eat pizza, but I can't stop thinking about what James told me before I left.

2 hours later I'm still freaking out, nobody called back and I don't know where they are. I walk back and forward across the room. "Jade, let's go back to my place. Maybe they will come and get you there." I nod and walk with him. When he opens the door, my phone rings. I pick up so fast as I can. "Mom, I'm so sorry I forgot. I tried to call but..." "Hello, do I speak with Jade Black?" "...Yes, who is this?" "I'm so sorry but..." I drop the phone and burst into tears. I fall on my knees and can't stop crying. "Jade, what happened?!" I point to my phone, he picks up and I am still in tears. "I understand.. yes.. We will be there...okay..bye." He comes sitting next to me, he holds on to me tight and says nothing."

He opens the door and brings me to his room. "I know this is the worst thing ever, but I am here for you. I don't know what it must feel like, but I am here for you. It's not much, but I hope it's enough. Try to sleep a little, I will be right back." He leaves the room and I can't stop thinking about those words. "They all died. They all died. They all died." And it's because of me. If I just... Thomas comes back with some clothes for me and he still tries to calm me down, but I can't because of those words.

I fell asleep with Tomas next to me, holding on tight.
