_______________________________

I couldn't help but feel like a zombie when I walk over to my house to get my own clothes. Tyler felt the need to walk over with me thinking I'd curl up into a ball and never leave. Which is probably true.

Xander is still gone.

He's probably alright, I mean he's almost eighteen. He's well built, he could handle himself if he tried. He just hates hurting others, but he would if he had to save his life, wouldn't he?

Tyler follows me up to my room, and he lingers at the doorway. I walk into my closet and pull out a purple tank top with a black and white striped cardigan. I don't bother closing my bedroom door since Tyler is covering his eyes tightly.

I pull on a pair of jeans as well before telling Tyler he can open his eyes. "Put your shoes on, so we can get a move on" he says softly. I do as told and he leads me down stairs quickly. We all pile into Justin's car, I sit in the back in between Kaden and Joel.

"Go to sleep Jay-J" Kaden and Joel both told me. I let out a well timed yawn, so I nod and lean my head on Joel's shoulder. He flinches under my head, "Justin beat me up earlier" he mumbles. Justin laughs from the driving seat, "All fair in boxing" I lift my head off his shoulder, "It's not fair if you keep going while I'm the ground dumbass!" he yells with fake anger.

"Fine fine, all I wanted was a 'pillow' sheesh" I mumble. Justin and Joel continue they're faux argument. Kaden wraps his arm around my shoulder. He pulls something out of his pocket and he presses it into my hand.

"Listen to it, and go to sleep" he whispers into my hair before staring out the tinted black window. I open my hand and Kaden's bright orange I-pod is in it with ear buds already plugged in. A song was already playing called, My Sunshine.

I put the buds in my ears and slow piano music fills my ears. The male voice is eerily familiar. Her Smile, gets me through the day| Her touch is like being on cloud nine| Her laugh is the best kind of music| She is my sunshine, my only sunshine

I lean my head on Kaden's shoulder and drift off into sleep.

I hit the bottom as if I'm on the moon. Still drowning. I start to gag on the endless amounts of water. It feels as if its pushing deeper and deeper. I can't even manage to scream.

~

I let out the scream I desperately wanted to ring out. The ear buds fly out of my ears as the I-pod falls to the floor of the car. Kaden and Joel's heads snap toward me as the car swerves.

Tears fall quickly from my eyes, Kaden moves his arm from around my shoulder to pull me into a hug. He eyes Joel nervously as he 'Shh's' me. "What the heck?!" Justin shouts from the front. "You could've gotten us killed!" Tyler yelled.

"Like my Parents?! Like Jannie!?" I scream as loud as I can manage. I can tell they regret their words already. "We're here, let the bomb off out side" Joel whispered gripping my shoulder. I nod while I bite down on my tongue to stop from releasing any more emotions.

We all get out of the cramped car and I walk straight for the clearing. The guys struggle to keep up to my fast pace. The clearing is just how I remember it, tall ferns towering over my head. The one lone oak tree at the north of the clearing where we all carved our names into the bark. Tyler carved 'Tyler loves Milk' onto one side. He'd chugged a gallon of milk at a pep assembly. Poor boy puked in front of the whole school.

"You ready Jay-J?" Justin asks coming up behind me.

I nod. I take in one deep breath of air.

I let out one long, piercing scream, you could hear birds fly away in fear. I let every single frustration out of my system as the scream rings out across the whole clearing. I scream until I have nothing left, even though it feels like there's already nothing left. My parents were gone, Jannie was gone, I have no idea where Xander is. What was happening to my life. It was crumbling before my eyes.

My knees give out below me, but I feel myself being supported. I don't bother to look, I just close my eyes and let the tears fall.

"Bad things always happen to the nice people" Kaden whispers into my hair. It's always Kaden. I don't care how many fights we've gotten in into the past, he's the best, best friend I could ever ask for. Tyler, Justin, and Joel are the best, friends I could ask for.

At least something's still intact. I have the same amazing friends I had a year ago. I have about twenty five percent of the amazing family I had. I have good grades, sure everyone thinks they're 'Rose Marie' s grades but it's still me right?

I still have my memories. Those nights on the roof with Kaden and Jannie. Kaden and I seeing what a cigarette is like, and then him puking since it tasted terrible. Xander teaching me to play football and attempting to teach me to swim. Justin and I playing dress up in the mall. The birthdays. The holidays. Death. New birth.

We've been together through it all.

My parents may be gone. Jannie may be gone. Joel's dog Rocky may have been hit by a car. Justin may have eaten Tyler's fish when Kaden dared him. Hell, I may have kicked Kaden in the crotch on his birthday!

We've made it through it all.

And this is not the end.

"I think I'm done" I croak. Everyone gathers around me and we 'group hug'. This is all I need. I can complete this dumb dare. I can destroy those wanna-ba losers. This time, No one will need to save me
