**Savannah's POV**

I went back upstairs to lay down and sleep. Crawling into my sheets my thoughts are searching for emotions that were between us.

I'm waking up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock screaming in my ear. My hand slams hard on the off button. My hand is throbbing with pain. The sound of groans fill my mouth in pain, and also the fact that school is today as well. I get up and do my usual morning routine.

A Hairband slips its way through my thick dark brown hair.  It's the usual my skinny jeans, with my favorite red jacket. A smile leans against the corners of my face as I take one last look. 

The day is a simple fall day with the sun rays hovering over the forest as I drive by the woods... Grabbing my backpack and my cell phone I placed on the console. My hands wiggle the metal out of the steering wheel. My eyes find themselves on a familiar hoodie from the night before. Memories scramble their way remembering the conversation and the moment from last night. Cole's eyes lock against mine,

"Hey, Savannah fancy seeing you here," His voice is Perky, happy like something out of a sitcom. Laughter fills the silence as I walk out of my car. He comes towards me like the wind and soon enough we are matching up from down.

"Hey sorry about last night, it came out of nowhere I'm sorry," Cole apologizes. A small smile breaks across my face as I release negativity.

"It's all good sorry for kicking you in the ass, for being a dick," I respond leaving confidence to knock on my voice.

"Yeah whatever Savannah, " He says moving his hair across the side of his face. Waterfall rises up touching the inside of my throat leaving it to burn. They crawl up finding a way to smash against my eyes. I bite my lip and turn away.

"It's been a few days since, I've been here I just, I don't think I can-" My voice croaks, sending the waterfall down my face.My eyes gaze off of him and I tremble towards my car.

Safety

Tears are streaming down my face like a never-ending waterfall. Cole finds himself leaning against my car doors as I ignore the gesture and shake my head.

"Savannah, I don't know what it's like to lose a best friend but, you know good and well Emily would want you to go to school and face your problems," Cole speaks through Emily. My eyes send shields through them locking away the tears. With shaking hands, my fingers trickle against my face removing the stains.

"Savannah we need to head to school now," He says while looking at Jared and the guys come our way. He moves his hands off the car door as I get out. We walk the opposite way of the group and head to the school. Jared is in his denim jeans that are ripped on his knees, and his black leather jacket; with a plain white shirt. His Blonde hair is slicked back.

"Savannah, we need to go in now," Cole says.

As we are walking down the hallway I notice that people are staring at me and I try not laugh at the stupid they are. Cole is still dragging me down the hall as the whispers follow us. He makes a right turn down another hall of lockers following more glances, and my name against others lips. My cheeks are rosy and the vibe feels uncertain with a fast beating heart. Cole stops at locker 781.

Emily's locker.

A gasp, my own is surrounded by pain

 Once again the tears bang in my eyes they

Turned her locker into a memorial?

Water, . A girl with long red hair and bright green eyes heads towards us.  I place my hand over my mouth and place my hand in her locker.

"Hey, Some kid started a Memorial for Emily, her death was so tragic, I'm so sorry Emily she shouldn't have done what she did." The girl says. Cole looks at her with ice-cold eyes and frowns. I can see his facial expression turned angry. I

"yea, I guess," Cole looks at me and smiles and I smile back. The girl walks away awkwardly. The first bell of the day rings. I roll my eyes at the ceiling. 

"I guess you gotta head to the first period?" Cole says. 

"I guess it's okay if I can be a little bit late," I look back at Emily's locker. I frown and I start bawling my eyes out for the second time today. The people that are walking to class one of the group stop and stare at me. They turn to each other and whisper and walk away. Cole does the unthinkable. He turns around and hugs me. I hug back and cry on his shoulder. I was crying so hard and he hugs me so tight.

"Savannah you can do this," Cole whispers in my ear. I cry harder. From the corner of my eye, I can see Jared and his friends walking to class and I bury my head in Cole's shoulder. I cry more. When the coast was clear I lift my head back up and continue to cry. I stop for a minute to breathe. Cole is still hugging me.  Jared comes out of god knows where and slams Cole straight into Emily's locker. He stares dead at me and gives me an evil smile while his eyes shoot daggers at me. A shiver goes up my back.

"I heard someone was calling people they shouldn't be calling," Jared says still holding him against the lockers. 

"JARED LET HIM GO" I yell back at him, and my eyes start to water. 

"You think he cares about what happened?" Jared says evilly. "you think he-" Cole breaks free from his grip and kicks him straight where the sun doesn't shine. Jared falls straight to the floor and groans in pain. Cole grabs my hand and we make a dash straight down to our classes. 

As we are running for our lives someone stops us. 

No, it isn't Jared.

It's his gang of guys.
