I was still in the house walking around it. I stopped the tape because this girl had many reasons why she died. And I wasn't even close to the end. Feeling scared to hear a tape about what I did must hurt since it sounded like we knew each other.

Because she had known Justin I assume. So that'll mean we've already met and I did something wrong, to be one of those reasons why she freakn died, and it's messing with me.

I took in a shaky breath, as I began to walk through the house, this house felt so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I closed my eyes putting the headphones back on. Marie stop being a little bitch and suck it up, this girl was in more pain then you. My mind yelled at me, I clenched my jaw tightly.

I pushed play on the Walkman, keeping my eyes closed as the memory came flooding in like a wave.

I softly opened my eyes letting it take over. Scared of what was going to happen.

I stood in a kitchen now, Clay beside me, Hannah on his left and the other girl I presumed as Kat on my right. Even though I still couldn't see their faces, their clothes were still the same as the memory continued.

'Finally Hannah gets to meet some people, before I depart this realm'

Kat smiled Hannah laughed

'I met Helmet'

I was confused at first, but smiled even though they couldn't see me I still had to laugh loudly.

'Clay doesn't count you met him at work'

I chuckled again, Kat you Savage.
The muffled voices, filled the room still, my heart going cold as a certain someone from school strutted up beside Hannah. Bryce Walker.

The one person I knew I didn't like, just the look of his face gives me the creeps, he was in my P.E class today, and I knew he was eyeing me, it put me way off. Knowing now that he seemed like a complete douchbag.

He liked getting into girls pants I see, why not hire a sex slave (I'm sorry I didn't want to write that, but knowing Bryce it suited) and or hooker each night, to full his needs.

Enough of the disgusting details of Bryce's urging power of sex addiction. How about that little glare Clay held against him. That was one thing I could see and agree on.

Clay loved Hannah, and Hannah didn't realize it. But for some reason hope seemed to beem off of Hannah in a way. Kat and I could only tell, as if it were obvious to us. Which it was and gosh damn I wanted to do something to get them together.

But I was only a ghostly memory. That only existed in my mind and on the tape.

The night went on and we were soon outside. I had to walk onto the grass to see what Hannah, Clay and Kat were looking at. I gently cursed under my breath, seeing the Zach kid from school, and Justin play fighting under the sprinklers.

Justin decided to remove his shirt after Kat, told them they couldn't go into Hannah's house all wet. I ewed under my breath, I turned to see Kat and Clay walking inside, Hannah was still outside she was staring at Justin.

He smiled at her, before running off to Zach. I face palmed. Oh no.

She fell for it, the classic smile trick she fell for it. Well honestly I can't say shit because I fell for Tony's eyes, fxck. I'm screwed. Those brown freakn beau- shut up. Stick to the Tape Marie. Stick to the damn Tape.

I took small breaths as Hannah went inside and I quickly followed behind.

'That damn smile'

I shot my eyes open, seeing that I was exiting the house. I paused the tape and put the Walkman into my back pocket. Dropping my skateboard, and went off down the road. I pulled my hoodie over my head, grabbing my phone to check the time. 2:45am. Great. Guess I'm not getting much sleep tonight.

I unlocked my phone as I came to a corner turning into the direction of the school. I went to my contacts, and found Tony's number.

I was desperate for somewhere to stay, and I knew no one in this town, trusting Tony, I rung him. I closed my eyes, feeling like I'd fall asleep.

But for my luck. He actually picked up.

"Hey Marie, what do you need?" I was surprised, Tony didn't seem sleepy, and or just like he woke up. He seemed clear as day. Like he was waiting for a call. I shook my head lightly breathing in.

"Tony, I need somewhere to stay tonight.... I told my brother I was staying at a friends, when really I needed to get something done, he agreed in letting me go out...and you're probably wondering why not go back home... Well the house is on high alert with the security system since 1am...I'm truly sorry if I awoke you, its ju-" I heard Tony slightly laugh on the other side of the line, before he cut me off.

"Marie, Marie. It's okay where ever you are, I'll pick you up, don't worry about my sleep worry about yours. Where are you?" I took in a deep and shaky breath, looking around as I got to the front of the school.

It was weird how the school looked, so empty and peaceful at night. When really it was ruled by crawl and ugly people who didn't give a shit about half the students that went to it.

"I'm at the school, and thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it Tony. I really do" I said through the phone sighing as I got off my skateboard and picked it up. I heard Tony chuckle.

"It's okay Marie I'll be there soon, and you know whatever time it is I'll be there for you, you just have to trust me" I smiled lightly at that, feeling his warm eyes burn into mine as he said that.

"Thank you Tony" I said once again, hanging up the phone
