"Bye Harry!" I yelled down the street as I jogged to the apartment building he pointed out to me. I took a deep breath and opened the doors to the lobby.

"Hi! My name is Amber! How can I help you?" A woman asked from the front desk. I noticed she looked to be in her mid twenties.

I sighed, "Just visiting an old friend!"

"Okay let me know if you need anything!" She said before she was back to typing away at her computer. I closed my eyes and opened them again once I had calmed down enough to get to the stairs. I started climbing them up to level 2. Once I was there, I looked down the hallway. Room 234 was right next to me. One deep breath and my hand was moving to knock on the door. I knocked three times and stood back a little. The door swung open and I gasped at the sight.

"What do you wan- ....Mara?!?! Is it really you!?" I smiled softly and looked into those eyes I missed.

"Ya, it's really me." I said and stepped forwards a bit. My boyfriend's dad tackled me in a hug and his eyes watered up. I pulled away quickly and looked around. "Why did you guys move out of your other house?" I asked.

"We didn't move......" he responded.

"Why do you liv-" I was trying to ask but got interrupted by Josh.

"I was kicked out because I drank too much alcohol and it scared Freya" he yelled. I flinched but leaned forward to hug him again.

"Luke's in jail." He stated and started crying again.

I gasped, "No....."

"Freya had twins.... a boy and a girl. Alex, and Annie are their names." He whispered. I quickly pulled him into his house and shut the door behind me. I noticed how the room was trashed. Alcohol bottles thrown everywhere, broken glass, stains covered the walls and ceiling.

"What did Luke do to get in jail?...." I murmured.

"H-He went to jail for murder...." Josh cried.

"NO!" I screamed. "That's not true!" I couldn't handle it, j fell to the floor sobbing. Josh picked me up and set me down on a chair in the kitchen.

"I think it's time you go see someone who won't make you sad...." he cried softly.

"O-Okay....." I whimpered. I ran out of that apartment housing as fast as my short legs could carry me. After about 10 minutes of running, I collapsed on a bench.
