Juniper's POV
Nevaeh was sitting next to me while we ate some of Savannah's cheese puffs. The silence was deafening, but neither of us broke it.
The innocent game of paintball had taken the most twisted turn of the century.
"Juno!" Savannah shouted, bursting into the room while scaring Nevaeh and I.
"No need to shout Cat," Nevaeh murmurs while rubbing her ear.
"Fish. Shhh. This is important!" Savannah put her finger to her lips while giving Nevaeh a small glare.
"Did Erica and Zac date?" Savannah asked looking at me. My look of confusing made her laugh and turn to the doorway.
"Ha! You lied!"
"How'd you know that?" I whimpered, remembering the awful memory of Zac and my breakup.
"Excuse me?" Savannah and Alec's heads both peeked into the classroom.
"That's why we broke up... because of Erica," I whispered to them.
"This is literal shit," Savannah said and shrank to the floor.
The silence returned, but it was because Savannah was processing the information handed to her.
"I don't get it. Zac's a good guy, why did you break up?" Alec asked after a long pause.
"He was a bitch," Savannah answered for me, "This is Juno's story to tell. Fish and I will get some water from the cafeteria,"
Nevaeh and Savannah left the classroom, leaving Alec and me sitting in the treacherous silence.
"So-"
"-He was abusive," I said interrupting Alec, "It started with words, then slaps, and eventually he literally stabbed me in the back. My brother, Justin, knew about it, even tried to stop it, but Zac was unstoppable. He blamed me for my sisters death. I couldn't help Jaida though,"
A single tear had fallen out of my eye when I mentioned Jaida.
"Who's Jaida?"
"My twin sister. She died awhile ago,"
I started sobbing. Tears were falling down my face with no sign of stopping. Alec, after his shock, had came over and pulled me into his arms.
"My mom died a long time ago. She told me to do something before she left," Alec told me, while snuggling into my neck.
"What did she say?"
"She told me to chase after a girl who saved me from suicide. Do you know you saved me that day?"
"Who?"
"A girl by the name of Juniper Miller,"

Where have I been guys?! Haha, I've been busy. So clearly it's been awhile since you've seen/ heard from me, and this was a really small update. I might end the story soon. Idk.
Another shocker; THERE'S NO MUSIC
There will be a song in another chapter, I'm too lazy to put one in now.
So, awhile ago, my friends and I got IMVU. Find mine: Niomi James. If you can... Good luck!
