I got out of the car touched my lips. I haven't felt this way since the last time I kissed Peyton, over three years ago at the airport. I walked inside of the house to see my parents on standing at the door.

"Mommy. Daddy." I said embracing them in a hug.

"How was the ceremony?" My dad asked.

"It was good. I saw an old friend." I told them.

"How is Peyton?" My mom asked.

"He's good. We went and had a brunch with his parents and then he took me home." I told them leaving out details.

"We made you a breakfast." My dad said disappointed.

"I didn't eat with him. I just accompanied him." I said to my dad and saw him grow a smile.

I sat down at the table and said grace. I watched my parents take a bite of their food and I joined along.

"Oh. Look at the time. I'm sorry sweetie. I have to take your father to his dental appointment. You can go, if you want." They told me.

"I should unpack. Get settled in." I said giving them a hug as they walked out the door.

I watched them pull away and went up to my old room. I walked in and saw all my old albums. I picked up the one of Peyton and I up and sat on my bed. As I was looking through it I found a photo of Peyton, Bradley, Sabrina and I on the couch in the barn. I pulled out my phone and dialed a number. It rang and know one answers.

"Hey. It's me. Rowan. I um. I just graduated and I saw Peyton. It brought up memories. I miss you sabby. My best friend just left me three years ago. I need her, I need closure. I love you B. Call me." I said and hung up.

I grabbed my phone, keys and wallet and headed to the car. I needed to be somewhere safe. Somewhere I  could recognize. I got in the car and drove to Bradleys old house. I got out of the car and did the craziest thing I've ever done. I knocked on the door.

"Hello?" A girl asked.

"Um. Hi. My name is." I began to say when I got interrupted.

"Your her." She said.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.

"Please come inside." She said.

I couldn't tell if she was going I kill me or not, I decided to do what felt right. I walked through the door and closed it behind me. I followed the girl into the kitchen and back to the barn. She took me to the wall that was punched.

"I found this a couple weeks ago and your here in person. I'm sorry I'm Payson. I've lived her for two years." She said handing me a box.

I opened the box and could see the dust inside of it. I remember this so clearly.

"I haven't seen this in over four years." I said staring at the box.

"I was hoping someone would come back for it." The woman said.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"I used to have friends like these. I used to be with a family, and I used to have this." She said.

"Can I take this?" I asked.

"Of course." She nodding and walking me out.

"Thank you Payson. I wish for you to fulfill your dreams. You sure have started me back in believing they can come true." I said as we got to my car and I drove away.

I got a phone call, I was so wishing it was from Sabrina so I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Is this really Rowan? I need proof." They asked.

"Bradley?" I asked.

"Proof" they said.

"Fine. My name is Rowan Blanchard. I'm twenty years old. I live in Los Angeles. I'm looking for a place to live after college. I just graduated. I've lived here my entire life and met my best friend when I was fifteen. I had a boyfriend named Peyton and a best friend named Sabrina, I also had a friend mane Bradley. Who could possible be on the other end of this line. My friend Sabrina used to live in green wood Texas. Her mother father and sister died in a car accident on her fourteenth birthday. She moved in with her faux aunt "Felicia" who's real name is Bernice Sanches. Should I go on? Cause I sure as hell can." I said.

"STOP! STOP. STOP. Just please stop." I heard a voice cry on the other line.

"Sabrina?" I asked softly with tears coming to my eyes.

"Hi row." She said and the tears went streaming down my face. I couldn't take what was happening I hung up.
