"Did you spot Nathan somewhere, yet?" I murmured to Hailey, while I took a seat beside her on our first class.

"Good morning, Nikki." She greeted monotonously, as she kept her gaze focused on her phone screen.

"Left home with empty stomach, I surmised?" I asked, eying her with my hands rummaging my bag for my phone.

She sighed heavily, and gradually shook his head. "Better be, left home with empty heart."

How's that better?

"Hailey," I paused as I withdrawed my hand from my bag to her shoulder. "Do you want me to start, again?-- Look, we finished this yesterday, remember?

Her eyes met mine, and for the first on this day, I saw how puffed up they were. It hurts me thinking that my best friend had to go through this, but she deserves someone better. I want to show her that crying over some junk whom never even cared about her, was a total waste. Yesterday, I thought I succeeded with that matter, but guess I didn't. So, now I'll go foursquare and tell her.

"Did you seriously cried last night for one asshole who doesn't even give a shit on what you feel??"

"Nikki, he died!" She wept quietly, while wiping her tears away.

My eyes widened after hearing what Hailey just spilled out of her mouth. As much as I want to not think it was Nathan she meant, I did.

"May the heavens save your soul..." I shook my head, "Hailey, for the love of God, you did not do it! Tell me I was wrong, and tell me he's alive!" I argued with her, yet not in a way that even one inside the room would hear and gossip.

She gradually cut her gaze from me and looked down on her fingers, "I can't..."

Everything around me stopped. I thought only Chase could make me feel this way, until now. My hands turned clammy, and I could scarcely think straight. Not longer than two seconds, my nerves acted to pull her with me as we made our way to the powder room. Once I cleared the stalls, I bursted out every emotions I was repressing. Frustrations, perturbation and extreme uneasiness.

"What were you thinking?!" I yelled, openly disappointed in her actions. "For goodness sake, have you even thought of what it might do to you?! You might freaking spend your whole life in prison!"

Hailey lifted her brows in a notch and interrupted me, "Wait, Nikki..."

"Don't cut me off, okay? I think, it's enough that you made the whole situation in snafu..." I paused, eying her and mentally squeezing out my outrage on her. "You killed Nathan! You... killed the poor guy! Why would you even do that?!"

"Nikki, wh..."

"Zip! Just listen to me! What we need to do right now is plan a getaway to Neverland, where you'll be staying for fifty years top! Probably, once everyone forgot about the crime you did, or maybe, when everyone is dead!" I cried, while pacing restlessly in rounds. "Oh God!-- Where are we gonna find that place?" I weeped in my palms.
