I woke up and laid in my bed for a bit. My stomach was still in a bit of pain but I ignored it.

I rolled over and got out of bed. Charli was awake on her phone talking to someone.

"Morning shawty bae." I said walking over to her bed and sitting at the end of it.

"Morning. Say hi to chase." She said turning the phone around to face me.

"Morning chopsticks." I said and laughed a bit.

"Really?" Chase asked rolling his eyes. I nodded then got up and went over to the bathroom.

I washed my face and put my hair into a bun. I brushed my teeth then walked out of the bathroom and back into our room.

Charli wasn't there anymore and her phone was plugged in. I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday and the jumper that darianka gave me was on the floor.

I walked over to it and picked it up. I put it on then I got Benji and went upstairs.

I got to the kitchen and I put him down then got his food from the cupboard. I put some in his bowl and then filled up his water bowl.

He instantly started eating it so I jumped up onto the counter. I sat there staring into space.

"Belle? You alright?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and saw Angel.

"Hey angel, and yeah thanks." I said. He came and sat next to me.

"I know we haven't talked like ever but what did happen to you last night?" He asked me.

"To be honest I really don't know why that happened. I was fine when Ryland and I where in the pool then when we came into the theatre I was fine until I started feeling a sharp pain and it started to get worse. It was probably really bad cramps nothing really serious." I explained.

"Weird. Anyways, I need to go somewhere. You're sure your ok right?" He asked. I nodded then he got down of the counter and walked away.

Benji has finished eating so I took him outside for some fresh air. He didn't look as happy as he normally was, he would usually run around and jump every where but today he was walking really slowly.

I guess he could just be tired. I sat down on the couch and laid there for a bit. I heard someone come outside so I sat up to see who it was.

"Hey darianka." I said. She walked over to the couches and sat opposite me.

"Hey." She said with a smile. "I want to apologize about everything I've done to you Bella. I don't know why I bullied you in high school, I guess I was jealous of you. You and Olivia were some of the prettiest girls in the school. I just wanted everyone to notice me and not you. When me and Olivia started to become closer I felt like I had everything, everyone. I guess I just kept being jealous of you and it never stopped. I hadn't seen you in years and when I saw you outside nicks door envy just came flooding back to me. I got nick and again I thought my life would be complete. But it wasn't, I then realized that I was missing you, you as a friend. When everyone's around you they are so happy. Bella, I know you will probably never forgive me but please consider it." Darianka explained. She then got up and hugged me then walked away.

I was confused by everything she had just said but I just ignored it. I hadn't heard Benji in a while so I got up to go check on him.

I saw Benji lying on the floor by the steps so I ran over to him. He had thrown up everywhere and there was blood in it.

I started to cry then I picked up Benji and ran inside. I tried to hear for his heart beat but I couldn't hear anything. I was crying even more at this point and I couldn't stop.

"DARIANKA? CHARLI? CHASE? RYLAND? ANYONE I NEED YOU!" I said trying to get out my words.

"Bebe whats wrong?" Charli said running towards me. Chase was behind her.

I looked down at Benji then back up at both of them. I could see tears in Charlis eyes.

"Hold him?" I asked and she nodded and passed him over to her and she held Beni tightly.

"We gotta get him to the vets. I'll get Ryland to drive." Chase said. He ran over to Rylands room then a minute later they both came running out.

We ran downstairs and got into my car. Chase sat in the passenger seat and Ryland drove while me and Charli sat in the back trying to keep Benji breathing.

It took about 10 minutes to get there. Once we got there we all ran in and tried to get them to see him as soon as possible.

The vets took him into a room and we stayed in the waiting area. I was nervous as shit. I didn't know what was gonna happen with him.

I started to cry. I know I had only had him for like 16 days but he was the cutest and most amazing thing that ever came into my life.

Ryland POV:

I was worried about Benji so much. He made Bella so happy, he was the one that would keep her company when she was upset.

I looked towards Bella and she was crying. I got up and walked towards her, I sat next to her and pulled her into a hug.

Bella's POV:

Ryland walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back tightly and cried into his chest.

"Do you think he's ok?" I asked Ryland with my face still buried into his chest.

"Of course he is baby." He said. I looked up and smiled at him then hugged him again.

I leaned my head onto his shoulder and we all waited to hear what the vets had to say about Benji.

About an hour later the vets came out and she looked disappointed. I started to tear up and I grabbed Ryland hand and held it tightly.

"I'm sorry, your dog didn't survive." She said. I started crying my eyes out.

I hugged Ryland and everyone else came and joined our hug. I looked towards Charli and she was crying.

I pulled out of the group hug and pulled Charli into a hug. I cried onto her shoulder.

"Can we go back?" I asked pulling out of the hug. Ryland and chase both nodded so we went back.

I sat in the front with Ryland driving and Charli and chase sat in the back.

We got back home and Charli and chase went to chases room and I went to my room.

"Bella wait!" I heard Ryland shout from behind me. I turned around and waited for him to run up the stairs.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked. I nodded then we went into mine and Charlis room.

He walked over to the bed and sat down and I went over to my closet to pick out an outfit.

"What should I wear?" I asked turning to Ryland. He got up and walked over to the closet.

"Ummm. Black leggings and that grey hoodie." He said pointing toward the clothes.

I picked them out of the closet then walked over to the bathroom and shut the door

I got changed and I braided my hair to the side. (Like the photo.) I walked back out of the bathroom and I sat down next to Ryland.
