We began to light off the fireworks in the front yard. I remember last year Anastasia was gathering everyone around for a picture. She was never in the picture, just always taking them. I missed not posing for pictures this year.

"You," Roxanne said falling on to me. She was drunk.

"Rox, you need to sit down," I said as her black hair fell in front of her face.

"No! You need to tell Henry!" She yelled over the firecrackers.

"Shh! Stop!" I exclaimed.

"Tell him!" she kept yelling, "TELL HIM!"

Suddenly the front yard grew silent. Everyone turned to face Roxanne and I. Henry was standing toward the back of the group looking confused.

"IF YOU DON'T I WILL!" She shouted yanking herself away from me.

"Stop!"

"Anastasia. That little bitch! She was sleeping with Tyler! Since Senior year! Ha! That's right! She didn't love you, Henry! But I do! I love you! Tyler and Anastasia betrayed you!" She yelled falling to the ground. She began cackling and crying at the same time.

The front yard was quiet. Only distant fireworks were heard.

"Is this true?" Henry asked pushing through the group of people.

"I can explain..." I whispered. I was freaking out. He wasn't supposed to know. This secret was to die with Anastasia...

"Is this true?!" Henry asked again. I didn't know what to say so I nodded slowly.

Henry turned and stormed into the house. Roxanne exclaimed, "Henry! Wait for me!"

No one looked at me. They stared at the ground. I was scum. That's my best friend. God, I wish Anastasia were here to make it better.
