“NO!!!!!” I fall down next to her. “Please, please wake up.” I shake her lifeless body. Max crouches beside me, and I notice that a tear slips down his cheek. “I can’t believe she’s dead.” I’m surprised I’m not crying, but I guess I’m just too sad to cry.

“I’m going to go tell the boys, want to come with me?” I nod and he grabs my hand and pulls me up with him. We slowly get back to the boys and they all look like they’re going crazy.

“What’s going on?” Tom asks once he notices us.

“Rain is dead.” I mumble.

“What?” Siva asks because no one understood me.

“Rain is dead, she killed herself.” I slump onto the couch. “She’s gone, never going to see her again. Now you all know how I feel, when someone you love intentionally dies. It’s fun, isn’t it?” I ask them sarcastically.

“Wh-what?” Jay asks about to cry.

“She jumped out the window, I think if you go now you can see bits of her left on the sidewalk.” I act a though I’m watching T.V.

“Stop it Air, you don’t have to be so rude.” Nathan sits beside me and quietly says. He never really liked Rain, but I can see that this hurt him.

“Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t realize Rain was the only one you guys had life that got you, I didn’t know you guys didn’t just meet, I didn’t realize that she was the only one that didn’t hate you for who you are!” I standing again, yelling at them all. “I didn’t realize that you guys got raped by some old guy too, or that you had to strip so he wouldn’t kill you! This isn’t some stupid soap opera; she’s not going to re-appear. You have all had the most perfect life, and this one thing happens and you think the world is ending! Even I know the world isn’t ending, so get the fuck over yourselves and stop crying!” They all stare at me in shock.

“What’s wrong with you Air?” Tom asks. I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.

“Everything, I mean now even you guys hate me. But I understand because I hate myself too. Cause you know, I’m a horrible person; fat, ugly, stupid, rude… shall I go on? Me and Rain hadn’t even made up from our fight before she died, because I was too stubborn. It’s my fault, everything is my fault.”

“Would you stop saying that?” Nathan snaps at me.

 “Whatever, I’ll stop talking and you people can just continue your grieving.” I leave the apartment, making sure to slam the door on my way out. I know my way around this neighbourhood quite well now because I go to the corner store about 10 minutes away whenever I can get away from Nathan to get some cigarettes.

I find 20 dollars in my pocket so I decide to head to the store and see what I can get. As I walk I notice a young girl, I’d say around 12 or 13, walking behind what I imagine is her family. She has long blonde hair, sad blue eyes, and wears a black sweater, black sweat pants, and grey running shoes. Just like me, I think. She catches me looking at her and gives me a fake smile. Her sleeves slightly shift up her arms and I see cuts lining them.

Before I know it I’m running over to them. They all look startled at my presents. “Hi, I’m um Ariana.” The girl’s mouth forms a smile; a real smile this time.

“Are you that person that The Wanted was talking about in the interview?” A boy standing with us looks at the girl.

“Just shut up Juley (A/N pronounced like Julie, just spelt differently), no one cares about The Wanted’s stupid interview.” He snarls.

“Oh so you’re a fan? This may not be the best time for anyone but, would you like to meet them?” Everyone looks at me funny, except for Juley and what looks like either her mom or older sister.

The girl says, “Go ahead Juley. Just come back home when you’re finished.” Juley grabs onto my arm, which for once isn’t fresh with cuts, and I direct her back to the apartment. I have her wait outside while I talk to the boys.

I see that they broke down, probably after I left, all of them red eyed and sniffling. “Boys, I know this is a really bad time, but do you think you’d be willing to meet a fan? She’s only a little baby, and um I think you guys should really meet her. I think it would help her.” They finally agree to it and I bring her in.

I can see that they also notice the resemblance between us, and she runs up to them giving them hugs in the process. “You don’t know how much this means to me.” She squeals. They all try to hide their tears and smile back.

She senses a problem. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come here. This was wrong; I know I’m interrupting something. I’ll go.” She leaves silently.

About 2 hours after meeting Juley we’re all just watching the news, to see if Rain’s suicide is on it. “Today has been a tragic day, with two people who have taken their own lives.” I news lady starts to say. “The first one is Rain John, a 21 year old girl whose son passed away earlier that day from a fire that burnt down the apartment she shared with James McGuiness, member of The Wanted. The two were rumored to be dating and sources say that they were together and preparing for a baby together.” Jay starts to cry, but I don’t blame him since tears I rolling down my cheeks. “Only a few hours later she jumped out of Nathan Sykes’ flat window.” I wait for her to say who the second person is.

“The second suicide was committed by Juley Greggs, at only 13 years old. The last her family saw of her was when they were walking through the neighbourhood and she went off with Ariana Faire, rumored to be Nathan Sykes’ girlfriend and to be mentally un-stable. Sources say Ariana is partially responsible for both deaths.” What!?

So what do you think? Like it? If so good, if not then whatever. Just hopefully most people like it…. Please make sure you listen to the song on the side, I think it fits with Juley’s un-explained story. So if you want to know what it is you’ll have to listen to the song :3 Thanks for reading,
