Hello Dead Friend

"Where are Leila and Stormi?" David asked. He, Crystal, and Bianca were out having lunch together. Crystal took a bite of her meal, swallowed, and said, "They wanted to give me some time alone with you guys.

"Awe, that's sweet." Bianca teased. Smirking, Crystal rolled her eyes and looked at David. Sincerely, she asked "So how are you doing David?"

David took a bite of his burger and replied, "I'm feeling a bit better with each day. I still miss her like crazy."

David's eyes started watering and Bianca covered his hand with hers. She held it and said, "I'm so sorry. I still can't believe she's gone."

Crystal looked around and saw Diana at a store across the street looking at them. She faked a smile and Diana turned around angrily, stomping away towards a limo. Crystal froze a puddle she was about to step into and stopped herself from laughing when Diana slipped and fell. Angry, Diana got up, went into her limo, and the limo quickly drove off. Crystal then looked back at David and Bianca and smiled, answering a question Bianca had just asked.

"What happened?" she yelled angrily into her phone. She hung up immediately after hearing the answer. Gripping her phone, she opened the window and threw it out of the limo. She screamed out the window and closed it.

Diana had always been the kind of person who liked perfection. When she was a little girl, she had planned the lives of both her entire family. Her mother and father would stay together forever, until her father died. Her mother, overcome with grief, would eventually die as well. Her brother would grow up and take over the family business. He would work constantly, not worrying at all about having a family. During his 40s, he would eventually find a wife and have children. She would grow up and become an heiress and be married off to a richer, more influential family. She and her handsome husband would have three children, two boys and a girl. The girl would be the oldest and the two boys would be twins.

However, her plan was ruined when her mother died when she was twelve and David was fifteen. Before the death, Diana was able to predict everything her brother would do. After the death, he became unpredictable. Diana had to constantly steer him back on track. At least until he met Lana Woods. He was head over heels for the peasant. Because of Lana, he allowed more women in his life. Friends, mentors, teachers, he warmed up to all of them. And some of them were sick. Very sick. So sick, they believed they could do the impossible. She had to protect her brother from them. Lana was the sickest of them all. Now, those three Valentine girls were just as sick. It seemed to be contagious and she had to get rid of it. At least, she had to get it away from her brother.

Diana opened a box under her seat in the limo. She grabbed a phone and shoved the box back under her seat. She called the person she had talked to just a few minutes before and said, "I know what you can do. Instead of going at them all at once, do it separately. And don't forget to get me before you finish the job." She smiled and hung up the phone. The best cure to fight the sickness was to use it to her advantage.

As Crystal laughed at a joke David made about the waiter uniforms, Bianca waved at somebody causing Crystal to turn around. A blonde, tan, and extremely handsome boy waved back. He wore a sleeveless, tight blue shirt and khaki shorts. He looked like a male model. The boy ran towards Bianca and hugged her, saying, "Hey big couz"

"Hi lil couz." Bianca replied. She looked at Crystal and asked, "Do you remember Dick?"

Mouth open, Crystal asked, "That's your snot nosed cousin?"
