"But I thought they were back in Jersey?" Lina asked confused.

"I thought so too." I said keeping my eyes on them.

"And since when is Neels part of their party?" Ethan asked just as confused.

I shook my head and shrugged. "Sydney always knew about everything that went on. I never knew how she found out, but it was really creepy. It still is."

I looked over at Grayson who was still staring at them, his jaw clenched.

"Grayson." I took his hand. "We all need to stay calm. We shouldn't show them our reactions. It would just make them feel even better about themselves. That's what they want."

He looked down and closed his eyes. "I just wanted to spend some good quality time with my best friends without letting it be ruined for once. I thought tonight was going to be that night, but clearly it's not." He spoke softly.

I didn't say anything, because I had nothing to say. He was right. This night is going to be ruined real soon. Again.

I let go of his hand and pulled him into a hug. "We have to get these people out of our lives once and for all now, Grayson. Even if it means to ruin another good night. If we don't, they could show up again in the future and ruin many more nights. These people are toxic."

Grayson nodded and let go of me. I looked over at Ethan and I could see he was getting a little uncomfortable.

My mind ran back to that night, the night Sydney broke our friendship. The hurt in Ethan's eyes, gosh it pained me to imagine it.

As I looked at Ethan, I could see there was still hurt in his eyes. Not as much as before, but there definitely was hurt. I was also still hurting about that incident. It affected us all.

I looked back at them again. Sydney, Zeke, Chuck and Neels stood in a circle a few feet from the party. I looked over at Sydney and caught her looking back at me. She looked the same. Same blonde hair. Same blue eyes. Same perfect complexion. It was almost impossible to hate her because of that. She tried to give me a small smile, but I just kept on staring at her, no emotion.

Grayson, Lina and Ethan were talking this whole time, and I didn't listen to any of it. But I didn't care.

Before anyone could stop me, I walked over to the group of evil. Keeping my eyes locked on Sydney's.

Grayson and Ethan tried to call me back, but I didn't listen. When I got closer to the group, Sydney said something and the whole group turned towards me.

"What the the hell are you all doing here?" I asked angrily as I approached them.

"We just wanted to enjoy a little party on the beach, is it so wrong?" Chuck stated.

"I meant in LA." I said.

Grayson, Ethan and Lina came up behind me.

"Hey, look. It's the little faggots." Zeke chuckled, hitting Chuck on the arm, indicating for him to look. "And they've gotten bigger."

"Shut the fuck up, Zeke." Grayson clenched his jaw.

"Will you finally be able to beat me up this time, faggot?" Zeke smirked.

Grayson tried to throw a punch at Zeke but me, Lina and Ethan stopped him.

"No fighting, Grayson." I whispered.
