Justin Foley.

Listening to the first tape, relieved me a bit. Because I knew the truth. About Justin and what he did. He kissed Hannah Baker, in Eisenhower park.

But then he turned it, in a way to show everyone that he and Hannah had sex in the park. With one slip up photo, Justin took when she slid down the slide.

And then her skirt accidentally, flew up to relieve well..... You should know what was relieved....

He stole her first kiss... And in return he paid her a visit to hell, where Hannah was exposed to the whole school, and was labeled a slut.....

When really she was as innocent, as a fly. And only wanted the well high school experience...... To be loved by a guy....

A genuine one, yet Hannah was looking in the wrong direction, when really Clay was there that whole time...

I was laid on my bed, emotionless and numb. It was 4:15am in the morning and I had listened to the first tape also known as Justin's tape. Three times, each time I tried to figure out what was happening.

I felt hurt and empty at the feeling that grew in my stomach, guilt. I could've saved Hannah, if only I paid attention.

I closed my eyes before changing my earphones, to the Walkmen to my phone. I softly played the song. Time of our lives.

I snuggled up to my bed and finally fell into a deep slumber. Today I had lost a friend yet gained a few.

My eyes flung open, my head shooting up. With my bad luck I banged my head on my top shelf draw. Don't ask why I have one right above my head, that is a story to you guys from my dear father.

I groaned in anger, before rolling off my bed with aloud thud, groaning once again.

"And she's up" I heard my dads voice echo from down stairs, fyck my life in having the room closest to the stairs.

I moaned stumbling to get up, I didn't realize that my phone was about to slip off the bed along with my headphones that attached to my body. Yet it wasn't tight it just hung over my right shoulder.

You're probably wondering something, and or whispering to yourself. Why the hell was she listening to music whilst going to sleep. Number one reason being, well sometimes for me it filled in the silence with soothing beats of songs. Two it helped me go to sleep faster then hearing the silent area around me. That pretty much was one right. Sorry.

I know dangerous.. You could've chocked on the cord. The music can ruin your brain. Yet what do you know my phone has a timer. Where my music turns off it's sometimes called. Low battery and I forget to charge my phone, or it's the 2 hr timer I set for it to turn off my music.

I couldn't believe that I had went to sleep at roughly, 4:20am and it was already 6:30am whoa. 2 hrs and a half I think of sleep.

Isn't this Friday going to be a shitty Friday. I know Fridays are supposed to be those days where you're like yay the end of the week. But I was more like. Yay just kill me already. I know I wasn't supposed to joke around like that, when you have only had a minimum amount of sleep you tend to rage.

That's me, I tend to block everyone out, and today was going to be that day. I slowly took a shower not caring if I was late, I carelessly put a red large jumper on, having it look baggy on me. I shrugged not caring.

I then put a pair of black jeans on, and my black and white Adidas shoes on, grabbing my red backpack. My hair falling behind my back, just below my shoulders.

I slowly went down the stairs the walkmen in my pocket, and my headphones hanging from my left ear. By phone clenched to my right hand as I saw my parents and brother glancing at me from the table.

I just numbingly sat myself next to my brother, quietly pouring myself a cup of coffee. I could feel my parents gazes on me as I did so. My brother suspiciously staring at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Morning there sweetheart" my mom said I looked up at her, and nodded.

"Morn'n" I grumbled back my dad chuckled under his breath, my head lightly turning to him.

"What?" I said rather quickly, my dad shrugged his shoulders lifting his iPad before him.

"Dear, of what you look like it seems you didn't have enough sleep last night... " he trailed out, I straightened my body up in my chair and put a fake smile on to my dad.

"You happy now" I said my brother laughed and my dad just chuckled again, shaking his head. I heard my mom clear her voice signalling she had something to say.

"Marie dear, Tony called he dropped your bike off around 6:00am. So it's outside if you and Clay are riding to school together" I looked at Clay and Clay looked at me. We both burst into a fit of laughter at what our mom had said.

"M-mom we've biked together for the past 12 years. When has there ever been a morning we've never riden together" I laughed she shook her head smiling at the two of us, I grinned getting up from my seat.

"Crap, we need to go now school starts at 8:05am Clay we only have 15 minutes. Bye mom bye dad" I said quickly grabbing my backpack and chugged my coffee quickly. Clay following me as we exited the house.

When I hopped on my bike Clay stopped me.

"So you and Tony now?" I looked at him, my mouth wide.

"Really Clay?" I said he shrugged laughing at me.

"What..... Wouldn't hurt right it's nice you two are getting to know each other. I just thought you two had a liking for each other. Even when you guys rarely talked before" I laughed at Clay remembering Tony's move he made.

When I had that panic attack. He kissed me yet it didn't mean anything to either of us.

Did it?
