Chapter 1

"Cory Crater? Why are you still in the school building when this fire alarm is on?" "I was just in the restroom, the door got jammed" I say. Lamest excuse ever "Uh huh. You didn't press the fire alarm in the boys bathroom did you?" He asked "What? No. Why would I do that?" He crosses his arms, lifting a eyebrow at me. "Very well then. You didn't see anything going on- did you?"

I could tell what happened- Oh what the hell, this isn't preschool anymore. Better on not telling anyone at all "Nope. Didn't see anything" he was waving a gun around in the restroom. This might be my only chance though- Probably die if I told anyone about this "Go outside with the rest of school" he says
( I didn't know what to say lol )

Walking out of the school building seeing everyone just chilling around, In groups. "Cory!" I turn my head to the left seeing Nick walking up to me "Oh hey Nick" walking up to him "Why were you still in the building?" Nick asked "Umm- door got jammed. Couldn't get out" I lie "Why couldn't you go underneath? That would've made everything a lot more easier" "Well I mean- I didn't think of that" Nick rolls his eyes and walks over to a bench, I follow. "Ugh, I felt chills going down my spine when I was walking out of class. Why do people always stare at me?" I said while running a hand through my hair.

Stayed silent "Hey, wanna hang at my place?" Nick says changing the subject. He always does this when something is brought up with... Him "Nick. Don't change the subject. They stare at me because I'm depressed because of him, isn't it?" I said looking away from Nick

"Cory... I just want to make you happy. Not just spending all day in you're room everyday and crying to yourself because it's your fault. It's not your fault Cory! Nobody knew it was going to happen. I'm sure he wouldn't want you avoiding the world" "I should be avoiding the world... Nobody cares about me anyways" A tear drops and I wipe it away and soon after, more tears start dropping and I cover my face with my hands. Nick gets closer and comforts me with a bro hug "Cory.. Everyone does care about you. I care about you. Please don't avoid the world. Don't waste it spending all day in your room" Nick gets up and turns to me. My eyes are probably all watery and red "Come on! Let's go take a walk" he lends me a hand and I just stare at it.

Finally I wipe the dried tears off my face and take his hand, helping me stand up. As we walk I pull up my dark blue hoodie. Staring at the ground with each step I take. I always loved the silence, especially when I would be drawing at the park. "Nick... I just want to go home" I say a bit quiet

"You are NOT going back home until dawn! I already told your mom I'll be taking you out" Greattttt "Let's go to the place we would go to meet up" Nick suggests "Wow, it's been along time actually" I say remembering what it looked like and the times we would play games ( No, not Video Games )

I smile to myself. It's been so long since I smiled at something.
We finally made it to the "secret base" covering it with a lot of tress around it and huge rocks too.                 (    A Photo that explains a lot better lol  )

"It's a bit dusty but looks the same as we left it" Nick said "Oh hey! That's my old sketchbook that I used to draw in" I said walking over to it and picking it up. "What'd did you even draw in it?" Nick asked "None of your business" I say pulling it away from him "I'm curious now" "It's nothing!" I shouted in a playful way "OooOo~ Cory's been drawing someone- Is it Bri?" Nick says teasing me "W-What N-No!!" I blushed. I stuttered! No!

"Then why did you stutter then? You had a crush on her all the way through Middle School. You totally did draw her!" She was nice.. And pretty "I didn't draw her! That would be a total creep" I say "Sureee~" "Would you Shut up!" I shout "Oh hey look! There's the camera we used to take videos and photos on" Says Nick walking up to the camera, turning it on "There's Me, You, Ashlie, Tommy, Dawn and.." Nick didn't finish talking. I knew I shouldn't have come. There's just- there's so many memories and- just.... I need to leave "I have to go" I said and left before Nick said anything else. I practically ran home.

I got home and slammed the door behind me, running up the stairs and again- slamming my room door shut and locked. "Cory? Are you home?" I hear my mom say downstairs. I didn't answer. She already knows I'm depressed. I can never survive outside- I always run back home. My phone is loaded with people texting me but I turned it off on silent and never looked on my phone again. I laid on my bed looking up at the ceiling but mostly looking at the fan. Nobody cares about me or my actions. Nobody wants to come up to me and talk to me. The whole crew separated after-  I miss all those things.. I wish I could rewind tim- I sat up and looked at my hand.

"I could rewind time. But how far could I go? Better not do it. Even if I want to" I put my head back on the pillow and looked at the letters he sent me before he committed suicide. I smile and cried at the same time. I wish for a lot of things. I closed my eyes and hoped I dreamed of something happy- I guess
I heard footsteps walking upstairs heading towards my room. "Cory can I come in?" My mom says. I didn't answer as always. She tried opening the door but finding it locked. She started unlocking the closed door I locked. Mom has a key for my room just in case anything happens to me.

The door opens with a small creak. A small moment of silence and I feel the bed sink in. "Cory... You need to stop being in your room all day. It's unhealthy for you. You should meet new friends" My mom says. I open my eyes and say "Nobody cares about me" "Cory! I care about you everyday! I'm you're mother that worries about you. Nick cares about you too! He wanted to hang out with you earlier. Everyone at school cares for you" "Then why doesn't anyone want to talk to me? Mom please... Just leave me alone" a sob comes in and I know I won't stop crying. She softly and gently grooms my hair in comfort "I'm here for you Cory" she pulls her hand away and gets up "Jon wouldn't want this" and closes my door. It's all my fault. I miss Jon
