Friends.

8-Nick?

Pipers POV

I wake up to smell...
"Mm bacon?"
"Yep" Ethan says.
I look over and see Ethan cooking breakfast and guess what.
I was the only one not awake.
"Just In time, it's done" Colby says.
I get up and remember everything that went down yesterday including my dream. God.
I can't believe that happened.
My heart hurts...
I sit down at the little counter we have down here and Colby passes the Bacon down to me.
"Guys...now that we're all awake there's something else that happened last night.."
Ciara says.
"What?" We all ask.
She looks at us and takes out her phone.
"Nick texted me last night and..he sent me this.." she says turning her phone to face us.
We read the messages.
"What the fuck? Did he..." I start saying.
"But how? Why? I'm so confused what's going on!!?" Trent says.
"That's not the only weird thing...I woke up this morning to a alert that...when the police came to question "Nick Teen" he ran and they can't find him.." Ciara tells us.
"Yo What the fuck is he on his way!!" Carter says.
We all look at him.
"What? No why what the fuck why would you think that? That's just scary and fucking retarded!" Ethan says.
"It's just a thought" carter says in a whisper.
I laugh as Ethan sighs and shakes his head with a small grin across his face.
"But do you think he has something to do with this?" I ask her.
"A little..like who would send someone this? Uh a murderer? I mean I think I love him but....what if I can't get over him? If he did..kill her.." Ciara tells me.
"Yeah.." I say as I start to cry again.... I just can't stop thinking about her face...it was..smashed up..and the cops said she was....you get where I'm going... my mom got that call in the car..
"I'm going to get dressed" I say as I head up to my room.
As I get up there I put on some shorts and a nice T-shirt that like "flows in the wind" as jazz would say......

it's comfortable.

I head back downstairs and see the others got dressed in their back up clothes.
Ciara's still in the bathroom.
Well look at that she's out now.
We head up stairs to grab the Xbox when I hear a nock on the door.
I open it.
"Hey"
I just stare at him...

"Oh. My. God. Jake how are you?" I say as we go in for a hug.
"Not good...I saw jazz.." he says.
"Hey Jake my man" Ethan says less enthusiastic then he normally would as he goes in for a fist bump.
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"Well I heard what was going on and..I'm here to see..you" Jake tells me, "I know you loved her, her smile and everything..I did too...and I'm always here for you...I just want you to know that".
I start to tear up again so I hug him.

He hugs back.

"Piper why don't you go and catch up with him..we'll stay here, it's ok" Carter says.
"Oh..ok" I say.
I shut the door behind me and I hop in his car.
"This is a..nice car" I say.
"Thanks" he replies.
He starts to drive away..
"So I have a place jazzy told me about.. she use to plan dates all the time..with her imaginary you...she told me that when she wanted to take you out for another date, she would take you to a place we're on a certain day the stars would be perfect and that's...today actually..where there all out and shining beautifully along with the full moon.." Jake tells me.
"You two were the best siblings" I say, "better then me and my brother who I don't even talk to anymore".
"Yeah..well I'm taking you there after we have some coffee and we catch up, like carter said" Jake says.
"Ha Yeah" I say as I look out the window.
Jake is one year older then all of us, and he was Jazzy's brother. They were two peas in a pod. Any way that's why he has a car because well he's 16 and we're 15 well..I turned 15 in July so..that's fun.
Me and jazz shared the same birthday..
July 28
Before i started to realize I loved jazzy and everything about her..
I liked Jake.
We were like best friends.
I mean we still are.
But to think about it, it won't be the same without Jazz..

We soon reach the coffee place...
Actually it's my favorite place..

The Spot.
He parks and we walk in side.
" hello how can I help you with today!"
"Hello I would like one medium Velvety Latte and one medium Caramel Macchiato and that'll be all" Jake tells them.
"Ok that will be $9.45"
Jake hands her the money and we wait by the side.
"Jeesh I haven't been here sense that time we all came here to party" I say.
"Yeah.. I forget sometimes that Alexis Works here" Jake tells me.
"Yeah, remember how carter and her got in a fight and broke up that very night?" I say.
"Yeah that shit was crazy" he says.
Soon our coffees came and we went back out to the car.
"So, do I know the place you were talking about?" I ask.
"No, she made sure to never tell you. And you have no idea how bad I wanted to tell you" Jake says almost laughing.
I smile at him.
He had no idea I liked him before jazz...
And maybe I still do.
Is it possible for me to have a crush but love someone at the same time?
More like loved..

It started to get dark out when we arrived.
He drove up to the bottom of the Adirondack mountain and said, "we have to hike only half way up, and trust me it's worth it. And to be honest it's not bad at all"
"Well it's a good thing I'm fit for this" I say.

He was right.
It wasn't bad at all.
We hiked up half way and then he said, "follow me through these trees" and I did.
We came out the other side and..
It.
Was.
Beautiful.
There was a blanket laid down on a nice rock near the edge.
Once we sat down on the blanket we could see the whole town light up along with the stars, and when I looked up, the full moon was beautiful.
And then I said, "you see that star right there but the moon?"
"Yeah" Jake said.
"I 100% believe that's Jazzy" I say laying down.
He does it too, "Yeah..I do too"
We just lay there looking at the moon.
"After we moved here when she was in the 1st grade, I remember when she told me how you two met..she was sitting at lunch alone when you and Ciara came over along with the boys and you said, you need somebody? She came home that day to me saying, Jake Jake! I made a friend! On my first day are you proud of me??! And I was because that's the same day I met Ethan out side waiting for you guys. He said hi to me and we talked and then that was when we first did the fist bump and he handed me his number. Wow that sounds gay" Jake says, "I definitely not gay..I'm into someone else".
"Yeah...you know..when me and you first met..I had a huge crush on you..and I think I still do"
I tell him.
"I think this might be weird but..I believe we were meant to be and hear me out..I know Jazzy like just died yesterday but we both loved her and we both have crushes on each other so I think we are supposed to be there for each other" Jake explains.
"Yeah me too" I say as I lay my head on his shoulder As I look up at the sky.

Ciara's POV
Everybody went to sleep early besides me and Ethan who are playing the Xbox.
I get a text from nick.
"Yo what the fuck" I say as I read the text.
I'm coming to you
"Ethan look at this" I say.
"Woh What the fuck? We should probably get you home for the night!" Ethan says.
"Guys" I say.
"What" they all say sleepily.
"Me and Ethan are going to go to my house for a little, ok? And if someone nocks don't answer the door" I tell them.
Me and Ethan head out but sense we don't have a car.. we have to walk.
"This fucking sucks" I say.
"So are you just going to your house for like clothes and food?" Ethan asks.
"Yeah..they need me there for when Piper and Jake comes back" I tell him.
"But nick?" Ethan asks.
"He thinks I'm at my dads this weekend so he probably thinks we're all there"  I say.
We keep walking until we reach my house.
We walk up the porch and I realize the door is wide open.
We look at each other and walk in.
It's pitch black .
I take out my phone and turn on the flash light that sucks.
We look around and head towards the living room and find the worst thing ever.
My dogs are dead.
"Oh no" I say as Ethan turns on the light in the room that works.
The dogs were shot.
I start crying.
Ethan grabs my hand and says, "where's your mom??"
I run into the bedroom and see that...
She shot her self?
No
She's not suicidal
I try to turn on the light as Ethan dials 911.
Her eyes are wide open..
She looked scared like she didn't want to..
Usually their eyes would be closed.
I'm crying but I don't feel sad.
I feel mad
I have a feeling I know who did this..

"Nick?"
