Beth's P.O.V.

We all sat there talking among ourselves, I looked around for Alex's truck I shouldn't have let Casey go by herself. She really hates going anywhere without me.

 "Hey, you okay?" I looked back meeting a beautiful pair of brown eyes, Beck.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"You just look nervous and uneasy." He said biting his lip searching my face. I smiled. He was just so cute. If I could kiss him I would. He took my hand in his and rubbed little circles around my knuckles he was trying to calm me down and it worked. I looked around at my group of friends and smiled again. For some reason I was in a really good mood today. I wish we all attended the same school we would make a rad group of friends.

 "Boo!" Hollered Alex.

I jumped and everyone laughed. I turned around to see Alex but no Casey.

"Where is Casey?"

"She asked me to take her home so I did." He said shrugging and handed out all of our drinks.

I started getting a little nervous "What did she say? Why did she want to go home? Did she seem okay?" I got up dragging him to a tree nearby so we could talk.

He finally answered, "she just said she wanted to go home, she seemed okay we had a quick talk and then I dropped her off. What's the problem?"

"Uhm you're her dead sister's boyfriend! You don't think maybe that could have triggered something? What did you guys talk about? Did she sound sad when she got out of the car? Look she really isn't allowed to be alone."

"Ah shit... She didn't say anything when she got out the car. She didn't even look back and wave. We talked about starting over and being friends. We kind of talked about Annabele but I mean I think she was crying happy tears. I didn't know that she wasn't allowed to-"

"Hey uhm where is Cas? What is going on?" He got cut off by Cole.

Alex finished, "Casey and I talked about Anna and she wanted to go home and she really didn't say anything and I didn't know she wasn't allowed to be alone."

"You idiot," Cole shouted running towards Casey's house.

"Can we get a ride?" I asked in a panicky tone and Alex nodded his head. I turned to Cole to tell him to come on but he was already gone.

We all piled in Alex's truck and took our time in the direction of Casey's house knowing Cole wanted to get there first.

Once we got there I hoped out of the truck and ran to the door which was wide open.

"Casey! Where are you?" I screamed running around the house looking in every room. Finally I walked into her room to see her asleep on her bed. Lying next to her was Cole breathing rapidly and had a face of relief. Awe they looked so cute! I quickly snapped a picture knowing it'd come in handy later. She was wearing Anna's oversized hornets hoodie and some yoga pants. Her hair was messy and looked damped. I smiled thank god she was okay. Cole had Casey wrapped up in his arms like she was a baby. His forehead was pressed against hers and he had his eyes closed. I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. I headed downstairs and out  the front door. Alex was standing against the truck along with the others.

"She is okay," I smiled and tilted my head gesturing for them to come inside.

I headed towards the Kitchen and checked the time it was four twenty-five. It's almost time for me to go to work. I grab a bowl of chips and set them down for everyone. I plop down next to Amanda and pulled my knees towards my chest.
