there i was, standing at our spot in the park. i didn't know what to do here by myself. i laid down and looked up at the stars, as if. pretending i could hear billie make up constellations again. i let out a laugh while crying as i thought of the time she looked so intrigued in the sunset.

?: what are you doing here all alone?

i sit up and turn around, aware of my surroundings. she sits next to me and i lay down again.

madison: just thinking.

layla: it's 3 in the morning. you shouldn't be out here. it's dangerous

madison: i think i'll be alright

layla: want me to go?

madison: nah, you're alright.

she lays with me and sighs.

layla: what are we looking at

i scoff

madison: nothing really. billie used to make up random constellations and point at nothing when we used to come here.

she laughs.

layla: why isn't she here?

madison: we had an argument at the party.

layla: oh..

we lay in silence for a while before hearing someone singing and others laughing.

layla: they're coming our way

i sit up and turn around, finding eli, isaac, jah, dani, zoe, finn, claudia and billie walking towards us. i couldn't see they're faces, but i noticed the difference in their figures.

elijah: OUR LOVE HAS GONE COLD

isaac: YOU'RE INTERTWINING YOUR SOUL

finneas: WITH SOMEBODY ELSE

elijah: hey guys

madison: what are you guys doing here?

elijah: billie wanted to come here but we said we wouldn't let her go alone. what about you?

madison: basically same thing.

we watch as billie walks over to us and whispers in layla's ear. she gets up and they walk away from us, sitting a few feet in front of us. everyone gasps as claudia sits next to me, finneas sitting next to her.

claudia: she actually did it

madison: did what?

elijah: well she said she was going to

madison: what is she doing?

zoe: yeah but then she doubted it

madison: GUYS

finneas: billie said she was gonna ask out layla. we don't know if it's to make you mad but yeah

i get up and start to walk away, i should have known better. arms wrap around me and i turn myself around to cry into jah's shirt.

jahseh: it's okay

i wipe my tears as billie and layla get up.

layla: billie just asked me out!!

finneas: great, what did you say?

layla: YES!

i pull jah's arm toward the park and he walks with me to the swings. we both sit down and just start to play on the park.
