Connor's POV:

"Jc?"
"Uhh...Nice to see you too."
"Oh no. I was expecting Sam."
"Ohhh. Should I leave?"
"No..no. Come in."
"Ok."

He walks in and sits on the couch. His eyes are red and puffy. He has been crying. How is everyone gone....just like that.

Another knocks arrives on he door. I open it to see Sam.
"Come in Sam." He nods and walks in, sitting next to Jc.

Sam looked happy until he saw Jc's eyes.
S-"What happened?"
C-"Sam.. I want you to know that this isn't your fault. This had nothing to do with you."
S-"Connor you are scaring me."

I look down and stutter.
S-"What's going on Connor?"
C-"Christina...."
S-"No..." His eyes start water. I just nod and he walks out crying. I go after him.

C-"You can't leave. Come inside."
S-"Why? It's not like I deserve to be here anymore than her."
C-"I'm not saying that. I'm saying Jc needs you, I need you. Please."

He argues with me for about five minutes but eventually gives in and comes inside. He sits next to Jc. They are both staring at the ground and then I state talking, "I know you are both hurting right now and I know you both believe this is your fault or that you shouldn't be here and they should. Both of you need to realize that they weren't thinking when they made these decisions all they wanted was for the hurt to go away. They didn't succeed they only made the pain worse....."

I finish talking about thirty minutes and finally they both look each other in the eyes and hug. They don't let go, I go over and join the hug.

When I let go of the hug I hear someone walk down the stairs...Kailey.

Kailey's POV:

I woke up and looked around. All at once it hit me like a ton of bricks. Madi is gone.... Selena is gone... Christina is gone.... So why am I here?

I roll out of bed and start to go to the stairs until I hear Connor giving this speech to I don't know who. I sit against the wall. I cry as I hear the words come out of his mouth.

When I realize he is done talking, I stand up with tear filled eyes and start walking down the stairs. Connor's eyes meet my and it's like everything is ok in the world when I know it's not but with Connor..... I don't know he's just so comforting.

He runs over to me and hugs me. I hug back and cry into his shoulder. I look down and see both, Sam and Jc staring at me.

When I make eye contact with them I see the hurt in their eyes and they see that same in mine. I walks down the stairs past Connor and hug both of them.

I tremble a little when I say, "I know it's hard now. But it's going to be okay. We are going to be okay. Together."

We all hug again and then Connor decides to put on High School Musical. We all feel so ridiculous watching it that we all look away from the Television and towards each other and burst out laughing. It feels good to laugh.

We laugh throughout the entire movie and then it hits us again. We all hug each other. Jc and Sam leave after Connor and I think it's safe for them to leave and to make sure they won't try to kill themselves. They seem stable right now.

When they are finally gone; and it's just me and Connor, I sit on the couch with my head in hands. Connor rushes over to me and puts his hand on my knee.
