I broke into hysterical sobs from the memory. I remember holding on to that forever, believing things would actually happen.

They never did. Mitchell became popular and I stayed the same.

“Had enough?” Cody sneered Has she?

Every time she says she hasn’t someone else dies. If she was smart Bree’d say yes and end this now. I took that into mind and meekly nodded. “Great, now we can end this.” He pointed the gun at me…

The door flung open, taking Cody by surprise and causing him to shoot the ceiling. One of the lights went off and sparks showered down on us.

I then heard a familiar voice. “Don’t even think about touching her.”

Oh God. Not him. I ranted in a weak tone, “Seth, go away. Just let him finish me off okay? You’ll move on, I promise you. Countless other girls want you.”

But….what if…I love you?

“Don’t say that.”

Technically, I’m thinking it so…

“Don’t be a smart ass.”

“I sure as hell can be a smart ass. I can’t believe you’d come down here! Insanity!”
