My parents were gone, my closet friends were dead. I still had the love of my life and my best friend so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Wait... Yes, I should! I grew up not knowing my parents all because of my 'friends'?! If that weren't enough they tried to steal my love. They stole Lilith from us. Poor Grayson.....

Oh my gosh.....

He lost Lilith. I lost Lilith.

Gray must be heartbroken. Does that mean he won't come with us?

Ethan walked up to me. I was sitting on the ground feeling sorry for myself. I stood up and held both of his looking away from him so he couldn't see how much I was hurting. He pulled me into a hug petting my hair to calm me down. I sob into his shirt letting go of all the emotion I had kept in for so long. He didn't say anything. He didn't move he just stayed with me.

"Let's go." I hear Grayson say behind us. Both I and Ethan let go over each over. His eyes were red from crying and he had a few cuts on his arms other than that he seemed fine. Ethan nods his head "I think it would be a good idea for us to leave for the earth." Ethan adds in taking my hand.

He leads the way to the border. We start walking along it until we got to the end. Then I stopped. "I can't do this," I say looking down at my feet. "Ethan I love you but I think I need some time. I'll come to find you." I say sadly

It's going to hurt to be away from him but I need to heal. I'll miss him like crazy but this is something I need to do.

Ethan's POV

I couldn't. No way Grayson was going to coming with me. He needs his time she needs hers but I don't want to be alone. I've been alone for much too long.

I've never met someone like Alya. She makes me really happy I don't know if I'll be happy without her but she comes from first. Whatever she needs I'll be and if she needs to take some time for herself so be it.

"If that's what you need to take your time," I say slowly so she understood that I really meant it. She finally made eye contact with me her eyes fullied with sadness but some gratitude to. She nods her head slowly "Thanks Ethan I'll come to find you as soon as I can." She said running up to me to give me a final hug before I walked into the unknown.

"Take care and stay safe Ethan I love you." She whispers into my ear before letting go. Then she just ran before I could tell her I love her to.

She left. She's gone. Now I don't know when I'll see her again. What if I never see her again? What if she forgets that I love her? So much is going to happen without her. Grayson....

I turn to Grayson who was staring at me. "What now?" I ask in a small voice. Grayson walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Now we go to earth the way we came into this world," Grayson says grabbing my hand. "Together" as we walk to earth.

-------

I jump out of bed. My hands and face covered in sweat. My twin brother Grayson comes running into my room sweat visible all over his face and shirt. His eyes were wide with horror. "Did we?" He asked obviously confused as to what we had dreamed. "Gray I killed someone!" I say jumping out of my bed.

Gray looks thought full for a minute. "This is weird. Could this have to do with us going to a new school?" He asks obviously concerned. I shake my head to clear the thought "No way." I say trying to make him believe it as much as myself.

At school

Gray and I walk around the cafe trying to find a table. When Gray runs into someone. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. Here let me help you." Gray says as she turns her head. I almost dropped my tray.

It was Lilith. "No need it's okay. Hey, are you guys new?" She says looking at me then back to Gray. He nods his head "Hey today is our first day here. It'd be great to get to know more people." he smiles kindly at her. She blushes a little then leads the way to the table.

Sitting at the table were Bella, Briar, Fang, and Alya.

-----

It turns out Fang's real name was Fredrick but he went by, Fang. This time neither of us dated Bella or Briar instead they became popular and left to join a new group. Fang did the same which just left Lilith, Grayson, Alya, and I in our own group. Lilith didn't die but one day she had the flu and didn't show up at school. Alya never left because of the death of her parents but she did move away. Thankfully I have her number and we're still dating. Things are looking up! All four of us got into the same college and planning on stay in each others lives for as long as we last.

The end.
