Ali's P.O.V

I has in the living room with Ricky, Dani and Connor.

"So, Ms. Costello, is Ali your birth name?" Con asked.

"No, Mr. Franta, my birth name is Alyssa Marie Costello." I answered him.

"Pretty name for a pretty lady." Connor flirted. I just blushed.

Ricky ran away, he seemed mad.

Why?

Andrea and Kian went on a date. I didn't talk to him since the incident before.

My new best friend was Jenn. We have been texting all night.

Jenn can never replace my childhood best friend, though.

I can't believe she's gone.

No, it's not Kian.

It's a girl named Amy. Amy Williams.

When we were ten, we were playing in my front yard.

Our ball went I the street and she went to get it but, I guess you know what happened next. She died.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away.

"I guess I should bring Danielle home before Elizabeth and my mom gets mad." I said.

"Who's Elizabeth?" Connor asked.

"My older sister. She's 19."

I said my goodbyes and left. I came home and my dad was slapping my mom. I turned around d and Elizabeth was in the car with Dani, her and mines things packed.

I ran with Dani before dad got to us.

I started to cry as we drove away.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"We were cooking and I ran upstairs to go to the bathroom. I heard slapping and packed all of our things. Dad didn't know I was there. I threw our this go in my car and you came. And now, where here." she said.

"I know a place where we can go." I said.

"Where?" Liz asked.

"Kians house. He shares it with Ricky, Connor and Jc. There are like, 20 bedrooms in the house." I said. She nodded and we began driving to the o2l house.
