Lily had her camera in her hands as she took various vintage pictures of her friends. They were all in their secret treehouse outside of the Sterling house.

It was their sophomore year, and Dana and Ruebens senior year. Just a couple months before the accident.

The super eight had been best friends for about seven years, meeting the end of fifth grade. She snapped a candid picture of Evelyn and her sister Dana laughing hysterically as Rio ate a bad bean boozled jelly bean.

"Okay okay its Evie' and Chris' turn." Dana said.

"No no no. I hate bean boozled." Evelyn said as she tried to get out of it.

"Come on Lana it'll be alright." Chris used his nickname for her as he squeezed her hand under the table. He's had a crush on her since the seventh grade, and she recently returned them in freshman year.

The two did not call themselves officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they had not told their friends, and had not even been on a real date yet. But they did hold hands, text a lot, sneak cheek kisses, and stare at each other in class as they passed stupid love notes.

She reluctantly spun the wheel and it landed on the spoiled milk/coconut flavor.

"Oh no I'm allergic to coconut. Guess I can't play." Evelyn said as she hated coconut, and already knew she'd throw up if she got the spoiled milk.

"I'll sing for everyone if you eat the jelly bean." Reuben said as he grabbed his guitar and smiled to the group.

She huffed, as she loved his singing and the moments that came with it. She closed her eyes, picked up the jelly bean and shoved it into her mouth chewing fast.

"Oh damn okay hold on." Chris said as he quickly grabbed his jelly bean.

But I wanna hold you
Like it's June in the West End
Back when you were my best friend
Before love came to kill us
