"I think that we should just call it a day." Eric sighed as I thought of all the fights that started up. "That's probably for the best." Lucia said as she began to walk to her house. "But that won't change the fact that it'll be awkward tomorrow when we hangout." Noemi made a valid point. Tomorrow is going to be as awkward as it was when David and I were in the nurse's office. "Yeah, I should probably go talk to David about those scars." I sighed.

I walked through the forest as a shortcut to get back to my house faster. As I walked through the lush greenery, I saw my friend, Sonia. "Hey, Maria!" She sat there on a swing with her long brown hair getting messed up in the wind. Her skin was unnaturally pale as if she were paper and her green eyes glowed with excitement. She wore a nice coral coloured dress that went down to her knees, a pair of black knee high socks, and some coral coloured tennis shoes. I saw that she had a dagger in it's case.

"Hey." I sat down on the ground next to the swing. "You look forlorn. Are you feeling decent?" She stared at me with worrying eyes. "I just got into a fight with my friends. That's all." I spoke as I drew doodles into the dirt. "Then, you must ask for their forgiveness. Right?" The brunette stood up, tackled me to the ground and grabbed me by the neck. "You killed me... and now it's time for you to join me... I won't rest till you pay... because I don't forgive others, Maria..." She mumbled.

After the group split up, I went to go follow Maria because I was concerned for her. Of course, I didn't tell the others since I felt as if she wouldn't talk to all of us. I thought a one on one talk would be the most effective choice; she would be more likely to open up that way. "Cody.." I hear a whisper say my name throughout the woods. I look around to see nobody around.

'I'm probably just hearing things... It's just my imagination, right? There's no one in sight. Anyways... I'm scared... What if we don't make up? What if the others stop talking to me? Even though I'm used to being alone- that's just how I am, but I hate the idea of not having friends. I hate it- I Hate It- I HATE IT- My mind becomes clouded as that's all I could focus on. Even though I don't really talk to them much, I love them. I wish we could be friends forever. That's really the only thing I want. Even if I die, I really hope that they'll stay friends. For my sake. If I can't be happy, I want them to be happy and I want them to be able to live their days in peace.'

"Cody!" This time I clearly hear Maria call my name and I instantly ran in her direction. "Maria! Are you-" I stopped when I saw Maria being strangled on the ground by a random girl. As I came, Maria had lost consciousness. "Stop! Get your hands off her!" Anger pulsed through my body and I shoved the blonde girl to the ground. "Stay out of this!" She yelped and began punching and kicking me. I started to fight back.

After about a half an hour of fighting, I realized that I wouldn't be able to win. 'I have to do something. I can't let Maria get killed..' I began to beg to the girl. "Please, leave Maria alone! I'll do anything! Just stop hurting her!" I cried; tears coming out of my eyes.

"Anything, you say? How about I possess you?" Before my brain could process anything, I feel myself lose control of my body. I see the girl's body fall limp and I feel myself grab the dagger off the ground. Unsheathing the dagger, I unwillingly stab myself in the stomach three times before I feel back in control. I look down to see the deep dark mangled holes in my stomach with blood oozing out of them. I fall to the ground in pain as the girl stood up and smirked. "Remember, it was for Maria's sake." She said jokingly and then laughed as she walked off.

I felt my breaths become shakey and the pain in my stomach is killing me slowly. My vision becomes blurry and I feel the hot tears and blood leave my body. 'I'm not gonna make it at this point... I'm to die aren't I.' Through my blurry vision, I see Maria regain consciousness and run over to my with tears and panick in her voice. "Cody! How did this happen?! I have to call an ambulance!" She picks up her phone frantically. "Maria, can you promise me something?" I say with all my might. "Of course." She whimpers out. "Can you promise me that you'll make up and be friends with the others?" She nods her head solemnly. "But, you're going to keep being our friend too. Because the ambulance will come and you'll be fine." She cries. Though I know that's not true. I can feel my eyes close and I feel myself lose control yet again as my body begins to go cold.

"Cody?" I shake his body as put my ear up to his heart to hear his not beating. I hear the sound of the ambulance while I weep over my dead friend.
