Whoever said never fall in love with your best friend must have had their heart broken too many times, because Brian is one of my best friends and I fell in love with him the first day I met him back in high school. He hung out with my friends and that’s how we met. In the beginning we really didn’t talk to each other, but leave it to Matt for making Brian and I talk to each other.”Come on Ashley he really likes you and I know that you like him so go talk to him.” Matt said pushing me towards Brian. Brian and I must have talked for 2 hours straight and we both realized we had so much in common. Today, Brian and I have been together for 6 years now and he is part of one of the biggest bands in the world. After a concert one night, we all were at Matt and Nicole’s house just hanging out when the news came on with a report of a suicide.”Tonight a young woman from Huntington Beach killed herself by driving her car over a cliff. She left a note explaining why she did it. Our hearts go out to the family of the victim.” The reporter said. When they showed her picture, we couldn’t believe who it was.”Holy shit dude that’s Toni!” Kristan pointed out. “I wonder why she did it.” Zacky said. A few days later, Toni’s suicide letter was released and her mom read it on the air on the news.”To my family and my friends, I’m sorry that my life had to be ended this way. I just wanted to be happy and have the man of my dreams Matt Sanders. The sad part was is that he was in a relationship and they were very happy together and they were never breaking up.  But that’s not the main reason why I’m doing this. I have been depressed for 3 years now because I have been abused by many men that I have been in relationships with and I was raped 5 times. I couldn’t live with it any longer so this was the only way. I love you and I’ll see you on the other side. All my love, Toni” her mom read with tears in her eyes. “Damn I really don’t know what to say. It’s all my fault.” Matt said looking sad.”No babe don’t say that. It’s not your fault. She just had some issues and problems and she just didn’t solve them the right way.” Nicole said hugging him. We went to her funeral a few weeks later, and it was sad but beautiful.  That was a roadblock in our lives, but now, all we can do is focus on our lives, and support each other and just be one big happy family.

dyF.Wst met you, I knew that you were the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Ali, will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Ali Baker?” Matt asked me getting down on one knee.”Yes I will.” I said with tears in her eyes. Everybody clapped and cheered, and all the girls were crying tears of joy. “Yay we’re gonna be sister in laws!” Kristan said hugging me. That night was amazing and wonderful and things couldn’t get any better, but tragedy was nearing us.
