Getting off the plane I looked around for her familiar face. It was hard in the mass of people. When I spotted her long blonde hair and I ran as fast as I could over and gave her a hug. "Becca! I have missed you so much!" I said while sqeezing her tighter. She laughed."I missed you too Ky. How have you been?" I stepped back. I wanted to lie but I knew she would see right through me. " Its a long story. Why don't we go and I'll tell you about it." she nodded."Alright, where do you want to go?" I picked up my bag."Home. I wanna go Home."

Becca drives me home and I try to gather my thoughts. We pull into a driveway that I have been wanting to see for awhile. "So what happened, really?" she asks looking at me. "I meet some guys on the plane and they ended up going to the same place and school. After that, My uncle picks me up and he is drunk. I get scared quickly. We get back to home and I try to find food." I pause with tears already welling up in my eyes. I remember it like it was yesterday. "He got mad and got very abusive. This happened for a good three weeks. Then I butt dialed one of the guys and he came and saved me. His name was Ashton. I had been an emotional wreck and he took me back to his place. Things went well for a while and then last night, my uncle found me and tried to take me back. He hurt Ashton bad and I could not be the reason for anyone getting hurt. So here I am." I say looking down at my hands. Becca pulls me into a hug. "I'm always here for you! Why didn't you call me?" She asked in my ear. I just shrugged.
I check my phone to see what time it was. As it loads I see Ashton's name on my screen. I read the messages and Listen to his voicemails. Should I call him?
No. Come on Kyler you left for a reason. They can't know you're here. " I have to go but I'll be back tomorrow." I nodded ad locked the door behind her.

I woke up to the blinding sunlight. " Get your butt up!" I groaned. "What the are you doing?" I asked her while rubbing my eyes. "Its 12 you have slept long enough. Come on get up we are meet people." I sat up." What do you mean meeting people?"
"I mean we are going to the a diner down town to meet Max and Quinn. You know the friends you had before you left and forgot about us." I sighed and got up to get dressed. " I didnt forget about you. I have just been... busy." " Okay whatever. Come on we are suppose to be there already."
~*~
Walking into the diner I started to feel nervous. I havent seen Max and Quinn since my parents funeral and Im starting to feel like coming back here wasa mistake. Being brought back old memories that may have been good at the time but now only remind me of the life I had before my parents died.
" Kyler?" I quickly turned around when I heard the fimiliar voice. "Oh My God! It really is you. For a second I thought I was seeing things." Quinn said giving me a smile. "Nope, you arent! Im right here." I said smiling. "Kyler!! Hi!" Max says pulling me into a hug. "Hi there Max!" I say smiling. "Shall we?" Max says. We sit down and order our drinks. We talk about the drama that has happened here and what they have been up too. "So what made you decide to come home?" Quinn asks me. "A lot happened and I needed to get aways. I say with an reassuring smile.
"Kyler, there is a party tonight at Max's house, his parents are out of town. Do you want to come?" Quinn asks with a hopeful smile. "Of course!" I say with a smile.
~*~ Later~*~
We arrive at the party and the smell of alcohol hits me. I walk to the bar and ask for tequila. I need something to take my mind off the situation. As I drink more and more, I feel more drunk. I hear the music playing and walk to the dance floor, where my friends are, and begin to dance. I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. Without looking at the screen, I answer it. "Hello." I say a bit slurred. "Kyler? Where are you? What is that sound? Are you drunk?" A worried voice asks me. I know that voice. I could never forget it sober or not. Its Ashton's.
