Alexis didn't eat. She didn't much these days. She checked her weight; 55kgs.

Still not enough, she thought.

Her goal was 42 kg. Amber was distant these days. Alexis tried talking to her but she never wanted to talk to Alexis. But she didn't give up; she couldn't give up on Amber. Amber was her friend. Even if Alexis wasn't Ambers friend, she was Alexis'.

But that wasn't her concerned as she walked through the school hall looking for someone in particular.

The same thing always happened at school. Not everyday; only on Tuesday's and Thursday's. A car would come to school and pick Amber up. Alexis figured it was her mom. Until, today.

"Garcia." She tugged at her bag.

Garcia turned around slapping Alexis with her long ass pony tail in the process.

"Ow." Alexis simply said but Garcia couldn't care less.

"What?" She said in a sassy tone.

"Please I-"

"I don't know where she is!" Garcia rolled her eyes and tried to turn back around but Alexis pulled her back.

"Seriously you have to stop-"

"Please I'm worried!" Alexis cut her off.

Garcia scoffed. "Right."

"I'm telling you the truth. She's been distant and I'm worried."

Garcia's looked at her legs for a good minute before looking back up at Alexis, and when she did, her face held an expression she couldn't read. It was anger, sadness and envy all at once. It was almost as if she couldn't believe Alexis.

"Are you lying to me Alexis?" Garcia asked in a small voice.

Alexis shook her head slowly and looked at Garcia. Her eyes saddened as she asked again. "Please."

Just as she said that, the bell went off and everyone else were heading to class. People that were staring before, expecting drama to happen but when it didn't, they left finding their conversation boring.

Garcia and Alexis stood alone in the hallway. Alexis sighed.

Garcia looked at Alexis. As if looks could kill, Alexis would be long gone. "You killed my best friend Alexis."

"I never killed her." Alexis responded, her voice was the shakiest as she did.

"Well you let her die." Garcia shot back a little too fast.

"And I'm sorry. I truly am Garcia. I-"

"Just go away and don't talk to me." Garcia said. Her eye were already glassy. Alexis knew she truly was hurt. "You know you people think that we don't have friends and that all our friends are fake. But Wendy was a true friend. She understood me and she talked me out of things that were bad for me. You took that away from me Alexis. You took my person away from me."

"And I'm sorry Garcia I am! But I never wanted that to happen-"

"Well if you didn't know, you caused it! You made her kill herself Alexis. You pushed her off the edge. You cut that last string of hope she was holding onto while I was desperate to keep her from doing it herself and you just came along and you-" She stoped and cried desperately. Tears were already running down her face.

Alexis was hurt to see her like this. She never thought they were real friends at all. She didn't realize that she too, was crying. All her life, she never wanted to be the cause for anyone's pain and now; she was doing exactly that.

Alexis walked towards her, "Garcia I-"

"Just don't! Just-" Garcia sighed. "You've done enough."

Garcia tried to walk away but Alexis did something she never thought she would've done but should've done a long time ago. She pulled Garcia towards her and hugged her tightly. What shocked her the most was that Garcia held onto her like she never wanted to let go and she cried her heart out.
