Sarah's smooth silky skin touches mine as she walks me to her living room. I've always loved the way her dark skin shines in any light.

She pours water in a glass for me, her apartment looks nicely put together for a girl young as her. The water travels smoothly down my sore throat before Sarah takes a seat in front of me.

"Um, so how are you holding up?"

"Bad," I honestly answer.

Sarah narrows her eyes setting all her attention on the words coming out of my mouth. Those soft eyes that took me aback every time.

"I don't know if we broke up or got in a fight again. It's the same thing, trust. We don't have it, let me rephrase; he doesn't have it. There's things he's hiding from me, stuff about his past. I just want to know, what's wrong with that?"

"Maybe Emma, there's a reason he doesn't want you to know. His past is ... is not the best, you don't think you should leave it alone?" her face reeks of judgment.

"Where's Kris Sarah?"

When the bomb drops so does her face. She gets up tears forming in her eyes, the chair she leans on about to break, "she's ill Em. Now I don't know if it was me, Kio, Trevor, or anyone else who made her this ill. But her head is so messed up, she's so paranoid and distraught. Once to the point where I had to put her in the hospital for suicide watch."

Kio? Trevor told me how crazy Kio could get but what could he have pushed kris to? I've been warned since the moment at the lake that being careful should be my number one priority. Could he possibly do the same thing to me?

Maybe I was right to leave.

"Do you know what happened? Depression?"

"No Emma, this doesn't happen! Not to normal people, she was fucking fine before.. before you... you know what, let's just-"

"Sarah finish your sentence, what did I do?"

"Before he knew you and I had a relationship, anything.. a friendship, that shit kills him Emma. He has a hatred to her that's contributed pain to all his relationships. Kris and I were so close that I'm assuming he thought you were purposely trying to hurt him."

So this is it? Everything he's put on me is from Kris, did he actually think I'd be out to get him like that? I left him, I just made it fucking worse. Things I do ruins everyone's fucking lives, I hate myself for never noticing until someone has to point out their pain.

Even Nick, he lost complete sight of himself because I made him feel like he wasn't enough and I had to gain shit from someone else I'm absolutely in love with. Just to think about where his mind is at right now pains me for him.

Now Kris and Sarah ..

"Emma? You ok?" Sarah asks.
