tyler did eat finally. I didn't know whether to believe tyler or not. I had sort of witnessed something like what he had. but anyway, after we all ate, josh said he would go and get me some apples and peanut butter to cheer me up which I really appreciated. so he went out to get some. I went to tyler and decided to talk to him.

"I believe you" I say. he looked up from his raw hands. he had been picking at his skin and now it was all pink.
"y-you do?" he croaks.
"she came to me to. I was crying the other day and she told me not to cry. I knew I wasn't imagining" I say.
"she must be alive!" he exclaims.
"but the funereal? her body?"
"maybe it was fake!"
"but mariyah wouldn't want us to be upset. even though she was broken, she wanted the people around her happy"
"maybe she got kidnapped?"
"who would take her?"
"have you got her phone?"
"no. sadly the police couldn't track it down. so we got nothing" I say.
"maybe someone was texting her"
"could be" I reply as the front door opens. josh had a bag with my peanut butter and apples. and some Oreos.

"tyler I got me and you Oreos!!"
"lovely" tyler said plainly.
"it's mariyah's favourite flavour"
"mint!?" tyler looks up. josh nods.
"mine!" he grabs them from his best friend and opens the pack.
"thank you" tyler says, his mouth full.
"thanks for the food" I smile at josh.
"anything for you" he smiled to.

he opened a pack of Oreos for himself which were the original ones and I cut my apples and spread peanut butter on a plate. yum. call me gross, this shit is good. but anyway we turned the tv on and saw there was news about a girl my age, walking round wearing all black wandering around the streets. she had bruises on her arms. someone had sent a video in of her running. I knew I knew her from somewhere. but I didn't know where.
