'Where is Jaz?' Sid asked suprised, when I sat down besides her. I stay silent, not really knowing what to say.

'Getting what he deserves' another voice spoke.

Everyone in our little circle all of a sudden went quiet and I realised Hayden was standing behind me. Besides him was Jaz, who looked like he had cleaned up most of the blood. He quietly sat down, not saying a word and ignoring my glare. Everyone seemed to realise who made him look like that but no one said a thing.

Alyssa looked at me with burning curiosity, I would have to do a lot of explaining.

Sid laughs a little.

'Are you joining us Dee?' she asked while Hayden sits down besides her, only Sid sat between us. I was very well aware of how close he sat to me. I wondered how close they were, if Sid had a nickname for him. He didn't look like the guy who has a lot friends.

'Only for you' he spoke in a low tone, looking at Sid. I looked away, focusing on Alyssa who turned the bottle once again. It landed on Hayden.

She looked a little uncomfortable, as if Hayden's presence was unusual. Which everyone in the circle seemed to notice. It looked like no one really knew him personally, only Sid.

'Truth or dare, Hayden ?'

'Truth.'

Alyssa smirks.

'Who do you think is the most attractive person here ?'

I mentally slapped her.

Hayden seemed to enjoy this, he smirked. Slowly but steady, his eyes found mine, and for a moment I looked at him, a little too long. He didn't look at anyone else, just me and for a moment, just for a tiny little moment I thought he would say my name.

'Easy, you and Sid.'

Alyssa blushed. Sid slapped his arm. I tried looking at anything but his eyes.

It was stupid to think someone like him would think I am more attractive then Alyssa or Sid. That was stupid really.

Why would he like my appearance,
I don't even like myself.

Hayden turned the bottle this time and unfortunately it landed on me. He looked up at me, amusement playing in his eyes. I swallow slowly.

'Truth or dare ?'

I wouldn't make the same mistake again.

'Truth.'

'Why are you at greenpeace, angel ?'

Sid glared at Hayden, she knew he went too far with that question. No one liked telling the reason why they're in a mentall hospital.

But Hayden was enjoying this. I looked down for a second, begging myself not to cry in front of him.

I wouldn't. I can't.

It had been so long now. As much as I hate to admit it, I had gotten used to my life without him. Yes, I still cried everynight and I still couldn't forget him but it was a daily habit now. I no longer thought of him alive, I no longer thought he was at his place, or at school. I had accepted the fact that he was gone forever.

And now, I had to be strong, be worse yet better then anyone who looks down at me. Hayden liked games it seemed, so I will play.

'My boyfriend, River passed away almost eight months ago' I say, my voice trembling 'my dad thought it would be best to send me here.'
