Jessica's P.O.V

"They can't be friends if they're dead," Those words struck bullets in my locked away heart. We're not dead, we never died, no one ever said we died. Thoughts flew through my head at an unbearable speed; "Were we proclaimed dead?!"

"T-they were never announced dead..." I felt the air around me begin to feel heavy as a yellow light began to flash on my watch. I ignored it and lifted my head up to the teacher, looking square at her.

"They were," Her voice was blank of emotions, reminding me of my voice before today. "Today is the anniversary of Jessica's death." A pain and tingling feeling rushed through my body. How did I not know about my own death anniversary?!

"N-no way..." 

"Something wrong?" The teacher then smirked. An electric-like feeling shocked my heart and I started to feel faint. I shook my pounding head. 

"N-not at all..." My thin-lined lips had curved downwards to a frown and I gulped. "Don't let your guard down," I thought, "you never know who this person really is." My watch the started to let out a beep while flashing. I groaned and rolled my eyes. 

"Excuse me," I spoke, choking down any tears. I hid my watch under my hand and I hurried out of the classroom, slamming the door behind of me. I brought it up to the level of my mouth, quickly wiped my glassy amber eyes and clicked the flashing yellow button. "What?" I hissed into the receiver. 

"What?" The other end chuckled. "Am I not allowed to call my best friend during school time?"

"Seriously?"

"Okay, I'm getting the feeling that you're death glaring."

"Nah dip, Sherlock."

"The name's Castor, not Sherlock." I took a deep breath to stop myself screaming at him.

"Look, just cut to the chase; what do you want?"

"One of them has been spotted."

I felt my eyes begin to sting with tears. "Why would they come back? They left us." I kept my voice void of emotions. 

"Jess..." Castor mumbled, his joking tone leaving his voice. "You're gonna have to let this go soon..."

"No," I yelled, hot tears spilling. "They left me when I needed them the most!"

"Jess --," 

I cut him off. "No, I need to go. See you late, Castor." I then pressed the button once more, ending the call. Tears welled up in my eyes and I sunk to the ground, my back up against the door to the classroom. I know I said I wouldn't waste any more tears on them, but I just couldn't stop myself. Fat salty tears were running down my face, ruining my mascara and concealer which hid all the bags under my eyes. I haven't slept properly every since Castor and I moved here. But if I told him he would worry and say it's unhealthy. I looked like a mess, but I couldn't care. I brought my knees up to my chest and let my tears spill all over my jeans. A door across the hall opened with a creak and I gulped.

||Late? Nahhh
