"Morning!" I said when I entered the kitchen.

"Morning!" others replied. "Where is Bryce?" I asked.

"He stayed at Tayler's." answered Blake. I sat next to Amelie. Everyone was staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"There are three things we have to tell." said Jaden. "First one is, I finished the album, I'll release Lana's songs and there will be a song from Dixie, she wrote it about Lana's death."

"No." I said. "I don't want it to be in this album. She didn't call me after Lana's death, I thought we were friends but friends don't do that."

"Marc and Heidi don't let Dixie and Charli to go out cause you know, paparazzi will ask questions when they see them and Heidi says Dixie is not good so Noah and Curtis went to visit her." said Jaden. "They will try to convince them to turn back to Sway."

"What is the next?" I asked.

"It's about Mads." said Jaden. My heart started to beat faster...

"What happened to Mads?" I asked.

"Last night we talked with boys and Nessa and we decided to she needs to see a psychiatrist. You see, she couldn't handle Lana's death and she can't sleep without sleep pills, she feels guilty."

"Why?" I asked. "I mean she isn't the killer of Lana, is she?"

"Addison what?" asked Jaden. "Do you really suspect her?"

"I mean anyone could be a murderer." I said.

"No wonder why Ryland went crazy. Is he thinking the same?" asked Nessa.

"Are you trying to save your bestie?" I asked.

"Anyways." said Josh. "The third one is Ryland will leave the rehabilitation on next week."

"Really?" I asked excitedly.

"Yeah." they said.

"I'm going to studio." said Jaden and left the house.

"I'm the problem, am I?" I asked. "All of you are hating me, you don't want me to live in this house with you, right? When you look at me, you see a different girl with Lana's body." I started to cry.
"You're hating me cause she is gone and now I'm just walking around don't knowing what to do. If Lana was here she would know what to do. Y'all are hating me cause I wasn't there when she needed me and when she died, I came back suddenly. You are right tho, I'm hating myself either. I don't say I'm a saint but I'm trying to be a better person, don't you see my helpless tries? I'm running in circles like a mouse in a wheel and still couldn't find a way out. I'm in a labyrinth of suffering. Yeah, I know I was nothing but a bitch but I'm saying this with my heart, I'm trying to change. I'm begging you please do not push me to the edge."

Amelie came and hugged me. "I'm sorry Addison, I'm sorry for my bad behavior to you."

"I didn't even realize how we were treating you, I'm sorry, we left you alone." said Quinton.

"Yeah, only Kio and Noah were trying to help you, we were busy with hating you cause we were thinking exactly what you said, we were thinking you're trying to be Lana." said Anthony.

"I can't believe I was so mean, I thought you were dating with Kio or Ryland, never thought you were with them cause you were so alone." said Nessa.

"I was with them cause every other person is running from me." I said. "Even Bryce. Although I said him that I forgave him."

"But it's so hard for him." said Josh. "He knoww how big was his mistake so he is suffering. He feels bad when he looks at you. Give him time, he lost his big life, fresh out of rehab and now he is living in the same house with you."
