Hooray!! My writer's block has been cured! Thank you andangelica for helping me. I love you people who are reading this book!!

Okay, so for this to make sense, I have to tell you exactly how I killed Lance. Jules, Lance, and I were hanging out at my house. Jules said something stupid. I don't remember exactly what she said, but it wasn't important. Being me, I playfully threw a spoon at her. Well, also being me, the spoon hit Lance right between the eyes because I have no aim.

Long story short, I screamed, Jules freaked out, and Lance passed out. I collected myself in time to dial 911 and get help. A few minutes later we were sitting in the waiting room. Me and Jules were both still freaking out. Then she checked her timer. It was blue, obviously. The most startling thing was that it said 1 day, 13 hours, 27 minutes, 16 seconds.

I cried. Not only did I send my best friend's soulmate to the hospital, I killed him. I killed my best friend's soulmate, who I come to call a friend. I couldn't take it any more. I cried and I cried and I cried onto Jules' shoulder.

"Hey, hey. Don't worry. You didn't mean to. It was an accident. It wasn't your fault." She whispered soothingly.

"How are you calm? Why aren't you mad at me? I'm the person who is killing your soulmate! You're not going to have a soulmate. You lost the love of your life and it's my fault!" I sobbed.

"Don't worry. I don't blame you. It was an accident. You're my best friend. I promise I will never stop being your friend unless you don't want to be friends. It wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself." She kept trying to calm me down, but it wasn't working.

I could tell that she was trying to hold in her feelings to comfort me. She didn't blame me at all. She didn't have one trace of anger running through her mind. Just sadness because who wouldn't be sad if their soulmate is on the brink of death and will die in less than two days. She also was worried and concerned. Not for Lance though. For me. She wanted to help me. She kept her feelings bottled up so she could comfort me.

I have to collect myself. I have to be strong and let her lean on me. She shouldn't have to keep her feelings bottled up just to help me. I thought to myself.

I sat up and  wrapped my arms around her. I tried to comfort her as best as I could. I let her cry onto me. I actually kind of forced her to let it out. She tried to stay so strong, but she needed to let it out.

At one point a nurse came out and asked for permission to put him through surgery. Jules declined, showing her the timer and telling the nurse that she wanted as much time with him as possible and that the surgery wouldn't help. That was very brave of her.

I forced her to fall asleep and I promised to wake her up if anything happened. Soon, she was asleep with tears in her eyes.

I cried and cried and listened to Hamilton and ate chocolate (because that always cures sadness) and cried some more. It was not a pleasant night. I sat and listened to other people's thoughts and what they were going through. I was constantly checking on Jules but she kept dreaming a peaceful dream about a picnic with... Is that me? I let her sleep. She looked so peaceful a she needs the rest.

I used to think that hearing other people's thoughts was common. I thought everybody could do it. About three years ago I realized I was wrong. Two days after Lance died, I got the biggest surprise of my life. Somebody spoke back to me.
