I stepped back into the house and instantly remembered so many memories that I had forgotten when I went to LA.

"Get back here Jack," I chased Jack through our backyard; He was only a few feet in front of me, but my legs were too short back when I was six. I was running at top speeds when Jack suddenly stopped causing me to crash right into him, Let's say I was crying for the rest of the day.

I sighed as the rest of my family came inside, Jack was hauling almost everything inside, so I rushed over to grab a few of my things from him, I placed my stuff on the floor in front of my bed. As I was looking through all my old items, there was a picture of Jack and I being adorable siblings, but more importantly, he was carrying a caterpillar in his hand while I examined the insect.

I smiled at the picture when there was a knock at my door; I spun around to see Jack leaning against my door frame; I gestured him to come in, I lifted the frame so he could see. He awed at the nostalgia of the photo.  I placed it back on the desk and started to unpack; Jack left to do his own thing after I started cleaning up everything.

There was one thing left in my suitcase which was a photo of Zach and me at the beach back when he kissed me; I smiled at the picture; I remembered how soft his hands were, how his lips felt on mine but finally knowing I'll never be able to touch him ever again. I took a deep breath and slowly tried to continue cleaning.

As I placed my last few bits of clothing into my closet, my phone was suddenly buzzing with messages and tweets. I opened Twitter to see a still photo of dead aspen laying exactly where Zach supposedly died. I threw my phone on to my bed in utter shock. If Zach isn't dead why didn't he come home? Is Zach okay? What exactly happening? 

Questions surrounded my head as I felt light-headed, Jack ran into my room seconds after I saw the texts; He looked panicked as if something was utterly wrong.

"Jack," I questioned; "what's going on, there are photos of Asp-" 

"I know... I think we need to talk outside Paige."
