"we're proud of you."

they headed out the door and across the street to the party that they'd been looking forward to all week. hayes was upstairs playing grand theft auto 5 and talking on the phone with a girl he was interested in.

this was the night.

i laughed a little, a huge smile coming onto my face. i ran around my house, letting the adrenaline pump through my veins as the excitement came over me. i ran upstairs and pulled out the original letter i had written, ripping it to shreds and writing a new one. my writing was messy as i laughed, my hands shaking. yes, this was the night. i felt like a crazy man, but now, in this moment, i was happy.

i pulled out my phone and went onto twitter.

"nash is making it to 2015, rt if you're  proud."

i favorited it, composing a tweet.

"see you soon 😀"

i couldn't send it yet because hayes has  notifications on for me, and he'd question the meaning behind it. i couldn't be stopped tonight. i won't be stopped tonight.

i made my way downstairs, successfully getting to the pill cabinet. i laughed again, leaping around the kitchen with excitement.

i got some water and grabbed the same bottles as before.

i swallowed 10 each once again.

i headed upstairs, a sudden feeling of serenity washing over me. the pain would be over soon. i'd see my girl again.

i walked into my room and placed the note beside me as i sat at the end of my bed, knowing not to stand up thanks to arianna. i sent out the tweet and like i suspected, hayes walked in moments later. i had hidden the note directly after i tweeted it because i knew how this worked now.

"what's that about?"

"magcon atlanta," i responded with my lie that i had thought up. he raised an eyebrow.

"you look really pale, dude."

"yeah i've been feeling kinda off today, no worries though," i was now struggling to keep my eyes open. how the fuck did arianna do this? "i think I'm just gonna try to sleep it off. see you in 2015."

"alright i just hope it's not contagious," he chuckled, shutting the door. i knew this was it and i laughed a little again.

"i'll see you Ari," i slurred.

"goodnight, i love you all"

i sent out my final tweet before allowing the darkness to take over. it's finally over.

cameron

i was scrolling through twitter, laughing at the "i remember 2014 like it was yesterday" tweets when hayes called.

"haaaaas," i shouted. it was quiet. i started to get a bad feeling immediately.

"cameron," he sounded like he had been crying, making my heart stop.

nash. it has to be about nash.

"hayes, what's going on?" i asked quickly, "tell me."

"nash."

"what about him?" i yelled impatiently, feeling my eyes tear up.

"he's gone, it's my fault, he's gone, man he's f-"
