Yasmine's Pov

Now that I think of it, Kane is seriously going to be the death of me.

I chocked on my drink. Damien rubbed my back while we both glared at him. What is it with boys and their smirks? It's starting to tick me off.

"Are you being serious?" I hissed at him.

"Yup" he says popping the 'p'. "I wanna know so I don't make any mistakes of getting into your pants"

I gape at him mouth wide open, not caring if insects just flew in. "You shit head" I mumbled and threw my Coke to his dumbs head, soaking him wet. Cameron whistled looking at a shocked Kane "Remind me not to piss you off"

"I learned the hard way" Damien laughed. I remember that all too well, I was nine and I was slowly getting into puberty. I had my first pimple on nose, it was so big and red Damien thought it was a wise idea to call me Rudolph the fucking red nose reindeer. But I felt better at the end of the day since I gave him a black eye. He started whining all day saying he will be ugly forever and become Po from 'Kung Fu Panda' because he will never get a girl.

"Awwww you got me wet, princess" Kane smirk. 

"I can't deal with this jerk" I stood up and walked away with Damien hot on my heels. He put his hand on shoulder making me come to a halt. "You know you could've punched him right there" he said amused.

"Yeah but I don't want people to think I'm putting them in danger or I'm a threat or whatever" I quietly mumbled. I already get bullied at school, I don't want people to think I'm going to plant a stupid bomb. Damien grabbed my chin in between his fingers and tilted my head up.

"Don't worry about other's. This is your life, you control it" I smile up at his words. I know I shouldn't be giving Damien a chance so fast but he's making feel so comfortable around him like old times.

I broke our eye contact and looked down at the ground "Can you give me ride home?"

He chuckles "Sure". We walk back to the group and saw that they too were getting ready to leave. I hugged the girls goodbye, waved at the boys and flipped the bird to Kane. Damien opened the door for and I thanked him.

I will never get used to being inside his Lambo.

The ride was quiet till I turned on the radio and 'How Far I'll Go' by Alessia Cara came on. I heard Damien hum to the words and see he's slowly turning the volume up. I start to sing along when Damien stopped at a red light just in time for the second chorus.

"SEE THE LIGHT AS IT SHINES ON THE SEA? IT'S BLINDING!
BUT NO ONE KNOW, HOW DEEP IT GOES.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S CALLING OUT TO ME, SO COME FIND ME!

AND LET ME KNOW, WHAT'S BEYOND THAT LINE , WILL I CROSS THAT LINE!"

We sang so loud we almost didn't hear the car behind us honked the horn. I slowly turned my head to Damien, giving each other a straight face. My chin started to wobble like a two year crying for chocolate, I couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed so hard tears were falling from my eyes.

A few minutes later we pulled up on my driveway to see my house as dark as Damien's next door. My eyebrows furred together "Can you wait here?"

I didn't wait for his reply and got out, marching my way to the front door. The curtain's was still open but no light was shining through. I turned the door handle to find it locked. Damn it. I checked under my mum's flower pot, the spare key wasn't there either.

I hurriedly walked back into Damien's car, shutting the door. "Can I borrow your phone?" I ask.

Damien nodded and handed me his iPhone 7.

WHAT? 

I looked up raising an eyebrow. He sheepishly smiles and scratches the back of his neck. I rolled my eyes and dialled mum's number. Holding the phone up to my ear I waited but it went straight to voice mail. Becoming more confused, I dialled my dad's number.

*He picked up straight away "Hello?" he sounds like he's in pain.

"Dad? Where are you?" I asked getting more worried

"Yasmine! I've been trying to call you!" I can hear the little frustration in his voice.

"I'm sorry my phone died, that's why I'm using Damien's. Where are you guys?"

He doesn't answer.

"Dad?"

"We're at the hospital, please hurry" he starts to sob and cuts the line.

I pull the phone down as my heart starts to race. My eyes are as wide as sources, I can feel tears threatening to come out "Can you take me to the hospital please"

Everything around me was a blur. He didn't waste no time and backed up from the driveway and speed down the road and ran through all the red lights with no care. It's like I couldn't breathe, like someone is choking me to death with no ounce of oxygen. I squeezed my eyes shut.

This cannot be happening.

He parks the car and I ran into the hospital despreately looking for dad. I spot him and Logan sitting down in the waiting room, they hear my foot steps and stood up. I looked at my dad dead in the eye, begging him to tell me this is all a dream. He shakes his head. Logan is holing onto dad's leg, bawling his eyes out.

I ferociously shook my head. "No" dad looks down.

"NO! THIS IS TOO SOON!" I screamed. "She can't leave me! She can't leave us!" My voice fades away as I dropped to my knees bringing my hands to my mouth, muffling my cries. My eyes start to sting from how much tears are rolling down my cheeks. She promised she would be at my graduation. She promised to be there at my wedding. She promised me she would alway be by my side but this is not what I had in mind.

"I didn't say goodbye! I-I d-didn -" I was then welcomed into a hug, I turned to see my dad but I was wrong.

Damien held me tightly as I continued to sob. I buried by face into his shirt holding onto it with my dear life.

"I already lost Willow-w. I can't lose mum too" I hiccuped.

People was watching me, giving me looks of sympathy and pity. A thought of hope popped into my head "Ma-aybe she's still alive, I'm s-sure! She's strong enough" I tell dad but a tear falls off his face and said the two words I dread to hear.

"Yasmine... She's gone"
