-Annie's POV-
I slowly open the medicine cabinet and pick up a small silver piece of metal. I've never used it, but I've had it for a long time just in case.

I stare at it in my hand for a moment and watch the glare from the ceiling light shift as I turn it over.

I can't. Not today anyway. My pussy little rubber band will work for now. I shut the door again and get into bed. It's only 7:12, but maybe I can just sleep away my feelings.

....

I wake up and it is about 3am. Well today is going to be terrible.

Me- we need to meet up

Me- even though there's no chance in hell you're awake

Katie💗- actually I am

Me- why

Katie💗- Brennan is currently sneaking out. He's not very good at it. Kinda loud

Me- well let's hope you're not loud

Katie💗- well no I'm not loud at all when I'm just laying in bed and NOT sneaking out

Me- please

Katie💗- what's wrong

Me- Caleb

Katie💗- where we going

Me- meet me @ the park. Leaving now

Katie💗- be right there

I pull on a sweatshirt and open my bedroom door at a speed of .125 miles per hour.

I see Hayley's picture in the moonlight streaming through the window and quietly turn it facedown. Fuck all of this shit.

I close the back door silently behind me and escape into the darkness. The park is pretty close by my house, so I always walk. Katie's probably going to ride her bike.

As I reach the end of the street, I see my only friend in the distance.

I stand in the parking lot and she drops her bike carelessly into the empty rack.

"Are you okay? What happened?" She asks worriedly as she stands close in front of me.

"My family were just being dumbasses."

"What happened?" I see the sincerity in her eyes.

"My mom took down a picture of Caleb to put up a picture of Hayley."

"Oh my God. I know it's not my place to say but that's kind of insensitive."

"I know. Hayley's alive."

"Let's sit down." I follow her to the pavilion and look at her across the bench.
