April 1st. Maggie’s POV

Almost a year ago, my best friend was diagnosed with cancer. I lived with him for six months. Then, February 27th, a couple days after we left Canada, I got a call from Cole’s mom.

*Flashback *

“Maggie, wanna stay over night?” Alli asked, as we were watching The Hangover 2 at Cody and Alli’s house.

“Yeah!” I said, smiling.

I saw Cody smile from the corner of my eye.

“No, Cody! She stays in my room this time!” Alli shouted at Cody.

Cody playfully sighed.

“That was once. She was having a bad day and I wanted to cuddle with her.” Cody said.

“Yuck!” Alli said, sticking her tongue out.

Cody and I laughed.

I heard my phone go off in my pocket.

I stood up, and took it out and pressed it to my ear.

“Hello?” I said into the phone.

I heard sobbing.

“Maggie, it’s Sherri.” Sherri said.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“It’s Cole. He passed away early this morning.” She sobbed.

I felt my heart sink. I felt weak. My phone dropped out of my hand and broke once it hit the wooden floor. The world suddenly became quiet. I collapsed onto the floor in tears. I watched as Alli and Cody started to panic.

Cody helped me up and sat me down on his lap. He made me look into his eyes.

“Cole’s gone, isn’t he?” Cody asked.

I nodded my head and let my head fall into his chest.

Cody rubbed my back to try to calm me down.

*End of flashback *

We had Cole’s funeral February 29th in Canada. I cried for days after that. It’s the worst feeling in the world, you know? Cole didn’t deserve to die. I still cry to this day thinking about it. I’m never going to forget him.

I heard my phone go off in my pocket, as I was walking home from an early morning walk/run with Cody.

“Hello?” I asked into the phone.

“Hello. You have just one a million dollars!” A deep voice said into the phone.

“Really?” I asked, getting excited.

“Yup! You just need to do one thing for me in order to claim your prize!”

“What is it?!”

“Say ‘Alli Simpson is amazing.’”

“Alli Simp-wait. ALLI.” I said, smiling.

I heard laughter echo through my ear.

“April Fools!” Alli snickered.

“Alli, that was the lamest April Fools joke ever!” I said, laughing.

“You got so excited though!” Alli said, still laughing.

“Well, yeah! If I won a million dollars, I’d obviously be excited.” I said.

Alli laughed once again.

“So, what are you doing?” She asked.

“Just walking home from mine and Cody’s early morning walk.” I said.

“Where’s Cody? Shouldn’t he be walking with you?” Alli asked.

“Matt called. Cody had to go see him at the studio with Shawn.” I said, sighing.

“Oh. Yeah, everyday now, he sits up in his room and plays his guitar and sings and writes new songs for like 3 hours.” Alli said.

“Do you wanna do something?” I asked Alli.

“Sure, like what?” She asked.

“Harry Potter marathon?” I asked.

This would be our like, 3rd one.

“Sure! My house again?” She asked.

“You know it!” I said.

She laughed.

“Alright, see you soon!” She said, hanging up.

I slid my phone back in my pocket and kept walking.

About 5 minutes later, I stepped onto Alli’s driveway.

I walked up to her front door, and opened it. This was my second home.

“Hey!” Alli greeted me with a hug.

“Hey.” I said, hugging her back.

“Shall we start the marathon?” She asked, grinning.

“Yes we shall!” I said.

Alli grabbed the popcorn from the kitchen and brought it out along with two glasses full of pop.

8 hours later, we finished the 4th movie.

Cody walked through the door. He slowly walked over to Alli and I.

“You guys…are having a Harry Potter marathon without me?” He asked, disappointed.

“Well, you ditched me for the studio, so I didn’t think it would matter.” I said.

“I’m sorry. I thought you’d understand.” He said.

“I do understand.” I said.

Cody smiled.

“Thanks, angel.” He said, hugging me.

“Wanna watch the other 4 movies with us?” Alli asked.

“I’d love to.” Cody said, plopping down on the couch be side me.

Cody put his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

It’s weird, because Cody still isn’t my boyfriend.
