The shock registered on my face and a hand flew to my mouth. I knew this evil and once innocent girl. I remember why she sounded so familiar. Her names was Violet. Violet Zuzu. She had an older sister and brother who would tease her continuously and she never defended herself. She was in my elementary school from kindergarten to fifth grade.

"Ann! I remember her! Her name wa-" Angie starts, remembering her even though she only knew her for a year.

"Violet. Her name was Violet and she was my best friend. Then she moved and disappeared. It was Nexa though. Nexa all along. She lied to me and I'm sick of that!" I yell, even more angry at this girl than I usually was.

J.J came over to attempting to calm me down but it didn't help. I jerked away in anger. I didn't know what to think at this point. Should I feel betrayed or some other worthless emotion?

"Andre! Calm down!" Amelia tells me, slowly removing my hands from my hair. I hadn't realized they were there until she moved them. I felt the strings of hair in my palm and started picking it off me.

"Andre, maybe you should go show Kyle." A voice suggests from behind me, but now all I can think about is the look of life shock on his face. I was friends with Nexa. Nexa Zuzu. How could I be? How could I not realize this was the same girl who I had invited to my house multiple times?

"Yeah, good idea. Let me have the book." I say my voice sounding hoarse. I'm handed the book, but some things catches my hand.

J.J.

"Do you want a ride?"

----

I was in the car with J.J and the music was killing me. Amelia was in the back and she was singing like a crazy person.

"Baby! Baby! Baby! Oooooooo..." J.J sang loudly and my hands flew to my ears for comfort. Laughing was heard in this mess of noise but damn, it was painful.

"Guys! We're here!" I shout, flinging open the door to escape the horrid sounds. I step out and a gust of wind passes me.

"Alright! See you tomorrow!" Amelia tells me before they drive off. I run my hand through my hair, and see horses with sugar cubes. My mind goes to Finnick O'Dair from The Hunger Games.

Sugar Cubes.

I roll my eyes at my inner fangirl. I walk up to the hospital doors, swinging them open and a gust of air hits my face. People are all around me and some of them are shaking out of fear, and others are excited.

Heading to the front desk, I hear some beside me. I turn and see a young girl on crutches, trying to figure them out. She keeps slipping and slipping, but her parents don't notice, do they? They don't realize their daughter could die from one slip. One movement could be the end of her.

"Maria! Be careful on those things!" A young girl's voice shouts. A teenager looking after her sister. You see so much of that these years.

"Hi, I'm here to see Kyle Ezara?" I tell the lady and she rolls her eyes.

"Kid, we know what you're here for, just go to the room." She says, not looking up from her position at the desktop.

I walk the slowest I ever had in my life. He's going to hate me, isn't he? He's going to hate that I was friends Nexa. When I reach the room, I take a breath before opening the door.

He's sleeping again.

I step closer to him, pulling up a chair. His sandy blonde hair has fallen in his face and his TV is still on. I grin and shut it off, carefully prying the remote from his hand.

"Andre?" I hear him say and my grin fades away.

"Hey Ky, how are you feeling?" I ask him pushing his hair out of his face. A small smile plays on his lips, which make me smile wider.

"Better. Why are you here?"

"I want to show you something." I tell him and my stomach flips. What am I going to do if he doesn't like me anymore? He's my best friend. I pull out the book and his eyes widen.

"What's that?" He asks propping himself up on his elbow. The bright white cover hurts my eyes.

"It's a book."

"Well, duh. I'm not even that stupid."

I let out a chuckle. This boy always knows how to make me happy.

"It's about who I was friends with. It shows everyone from when I was born to now. It's pretty informative." I point out, avoiding the point by now.

"Andre, what are you not telling me?" Kyle questions and my fake smile begins to falter. I press the corners up my lips back up and take a deep breath.

"I was friends with so many people." I tell him and I shut my eyes shielding them from any hurt. I need to tell him, and just face it. Just hope he'll take it well.

"I was friends with Nexa." I blurt out, my eyes tightening and my breath hitched. Trying to bring myself to open my eyes, I crack open a small portion of my left eye.

"Andre, you didn't even recognize her name? How?" His question echoes through the small hospital room. I can't tell if he's angry or not but it doesn't matter.

"She changed her name! Her name was Violet! She had light brown hair that was cut to end at her shoulders, not flowing hair down to her waist! How the hell was I supposed to know?" I shout not caring who would hear. They could listen all they want and never understand why I'm struggling so much.

"Andre, I'm not mad. You need to calm down and make sure its really her. Make sure it's a real picture for god's sake." He tells me, grabbing my shoulders, stopping me from shaking. He hand slips down to my hand.

"Hey, here's something that might cheer you up." He starts and I open my eyes in curiosity.

"What?"

"Do you want to go to prom with me?" He asks, gripping my hand even tighter, reassuring me.

"Yes, of course." I tell him, pecking him on the cheek.

I love this boy so much.
