Suddenly Calum's eyes widens in terror as his brain frantically processes the deafening sound of the shot. It is still dark and he could not see what was happening? Though he did not care for Max, the idea of her being shot makes him afraid. Afraid that he, shall be the next to die if they stay.

Everyone else is yelling over each other in panic. Calum expects that. Max just got shot, what else could they possibly be doing.

He takes the initiative and flicks on the light, taking the group of of the dark. Everyone-except for Max-is in the living room. Calum lets out a much needed breath.

Did she..kill herself? The thought flashes the boy's mind.

"W-What just happened?" Ashton askes the question on everyone's mind. Everyone is glancing in everyone's direction, trying to size them up. Even Macie is in the room-only no one knows how exactly she got there.

"She's dead. " Simoné murmurs under her breath in her soft quiet voice. Her blonde locks fall as she bows her head down to look at the ground. Her jade eyes stare at her shoes.

Confusion is hanging in the room and is the primary emotion the group felt. Everybody's expression showed fear.

Raven is the first to walk to the garage, and the rest of them follow her. Their walking pace is slow and it takes a minute for all of them to get there. Candace opens the door and each of them hold it open for the person behind, little Macie staying behind.

Candace gasps voluminously and cries theatrically, "OH MY GOD!" Tears cascade down her alabaster cheeks as she screams hysterically. The sight of the young corpse upsets her greatly.

Everyone else is paralysed by the disturbing scene. Lying lifelessly on the fridgidly cold concrete ground is a slaughtered teenage girl who died decades before he time. She has fallen due to the impact of the shot. Michael makes his way over to the body and examines her closely.

He crouches down to turn her torso, revealing blood coming from her chest. Max has been shot in the heart.

Instant death.

His viridescent irises enlarges to express his ashtonishing shock. A sudden puff of breath escapes from his plump pink lips. He has hardly exchanged words with the now dead Max, but he can not wish death upon any one.

Such a tragic way to go, He thinks to himself, shaking his head. He chews on his lower lip and tries to process the tragedy in his own mind. He stands up.

"Did she kill herself?" Simone asks in her soft, faint voice. She has to have been the quietest of the group. Her azure eyes are always focused on chipped polish fingernails. She interwined her fingers and curled them up.

"I doubt it." Raven scoffs. She looks unaffected by the death of her so-called friend. (Ha! If you could even call Max that. And can you really blame her? MAX WAS A BITCH ) "She loved being here so she could taunt Stephanie with her presence."

"Why would she even care?" Luke asks naively.

"Because I hated the girl." Stephanie interjects before Raven had the chance to speak. She does not want her to admit to Luke her infatuation with him. Raven and Steph are close friends, but Raven is a bit loose at the mouth.

Raven presses her lips together and glances at Steph warily. Steph's returning look is pleading for her not to object. Raven rolls her eyes and fails to comment.

"Then it was MURDER! " Candace sobbed into Calum's shoulder. He gave her a weirded out look but didn't stop her from embracing him. He patted her back.

"We don't know that!" Exclaims Ashton in an attempt to get the girl to shut up. "It could've been an accident. "

"It's pretty obvious, Ash. "Says Raven. "It has to have been on purpose. "

"Well that means one thing. " Replies Ashton with a blank look in his face. His tone was monotonous.

"What?" Michael is still hovering over the dead girl's body. He had a grieving smile on his face.

"One of us killed her. "
