Chapter 7:

Lexi's POV

I had to go home that night. I step in the front door and my parents are furious that I left and didn't come back until then. But I didn't explain... I didn't talk... I just went to my room and shut my door. Holding back my anger I gave them the silent treatment. How can they do this to me?! My own sister died and they think havering another child is such a great idea. Well think again. Having a child will not patch up their relationship, it may for a little bit after the baby is born, but that's it. They are idiots if they think this baby is good for them.

It's now around one a clock in the morning, and I haven't slept for a second. I'm still dressed in my clothes I wore during the day and I still have my makeup on. My mascara is stained down my face but I don't give a shit.

I decide I want to go out for a hour or two. So I trudge into my bathroom and wash off my makeup. I throw on a sweatshirt and some longer pants before I go over to the window and open it. I slip out and steady myself on a different tree branch other than the one I'm standing on. I climb down the tree easily and walk across the side of my house and across the street walking into the sidewalk. It feels as if I'm sleep walking since my legs are carrying me and I'm not telling them where to go. I just know my destination. I walk past Zack's house, there is only one light on. Quite frankly it looks like a bedroom light. I shrug off the feeling that Zack is up, because it feels as if my body wants to take me there. I need to figure out who I really love. Cole... Or Zack.

I walk past Zack's house, and a few more blocks before stopping abruptly stopping at my destination. ( you guess where she went? Comment.) I walk in and walk along the pathways until I reach her. I kneel down on the damp grass and tears escape my eyes and I whimper.

" I miss you." I whisper. " Life is so hard right now Nyah. I need you." More and more tears fall down and into her grave. I look at her grave stone: Nyah Mortimeir, June 14th 2002 to May 9th 2012.

" Mom's pregnant and I don't want another sibling. It's hard enough to wake up everyday to an empty room across the hall, to wake up and not have your sister to go play with or see smile or cheer up. Your not going to be proud but I almost killed myself, I can't handle it anymore, I can't do this. I don't have any family to help except coming here the odd time... Cole and I are becoming distant. I wouldn't be surprised if he's cheating on me." Wait... What? I can't believe I just said that. " Anyway... I met new friends and their names are Anne and Cassidy. They help me through this and are here for me. I am really grateful for them, thank you for sending them to me Nyah. I guess somebody is looking out for me... It's about time." I chuckle.

" I will visit you again Nyah... Sometime soon." I grin. " I love you." I stand up to leave and look up, a giant cloud above me looks like a smiling face. Nyah? So she is watching over me. Smiling I walk out of the graveyard, and back home before my parents know I'm gone. I tried not to cry there... To try and show her I'm strong but I am on the verge of breaking. I just want someone to hold me. Before I know it I'm on my knees balling my eyes out. I try my best to not be so loud but obviously I didn't try hard enough because I hear a door quietly shut at one of the houses to my left on the side of the street I am walking on. Big muscular arms pull me into his chest and I should be feeling creeped out but weirdly I am comforted.

" Lexi ... Tell me what's wrong." His deep and husk voice breaks the silence that has been filling up in the air. Who is this and how does he know my name?! I look up and I'm staring into sparkling green eyes. I know those eyes, Zack?

"Zack?!" I sniff " What are you doing here?" I look away from his eyes. He wipes the tears from my eyes and puts his hand under my chin to make me look at him.

" I heard crying and I came out to check. When I found out it was you I rushed over and here I am. Now will you tell me why you are crying?" He explained and I sighed.

" Okay fine, well my mom is pregnant... And they are all happy. They think that the new baby can replace Nyah. So I went to visit her grave and told her all about my life now." He hugs me even closer to his chest.

" I'm sorry Lexi... I'm so so sorry." I take one glance up at him and he has one lonely tear that has streamed down his face leaving a pink shade. I wipe the tear from his face and her smiles sadly at me.

" Zack please don't cry. This isn't your problem and I don't want to hurt anybody else." I look down and away from him.

" You are right this isn't my problem." He says and I look up. " But the thing is that I want to make it my problem. I care for you deeply Lexi and I want you to be able to lean on me when you need to. I want you to feel as if I understand even though I don't. I want you to want to come to me. I want you to know that I will be there for you. I want to be your shoulder to cry on. All in all Lexi, I want to be the one to cheer you up." My eyes widen and he looks down as if he is embarrassed. Why do I want to kiss him right now?! No I can't... That would be cheating on Cole. That would make me a bad person.

Nobody likes bad people. I can't be a bad person.
