Nan, I can't go through with this."

"Of course you can. I don't know what you're complaining about, you like Brody."

"I don't like Brody." But I love Jared.

"How can you not like Brody, he's Brody."

"Then maybe you should go on a date with him"

"Haha. Nice try." He phone beeped. "Yay! He's here let's go."

Mina felt so lifeless. She remembered the last time she went to the movies. Everything was different. And it hadn't ended well. Now here she was, sitting in the dark, next to Brody, instead of watching him fall in love with her best friend. So much has changed in the last year…. And not for the better. At least Teague hadn't bothered her, but she could tell he was planning something.

The lights in the theater came on and Nan, Nix, and Brody had already gotten up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine I just want to go home." She let Nan give Brody the directions to her house without a word. When they got to her house she said "Thank you, Brody, I had a nice time." She tried to sound genuine but she couldn't even convince herself.

Sara was awake and seemed to be waiting for her. "Hey, sweetie. Did you have a nice time?"

"Yeah, it was fun." She hated lying to her mom, but she hated worrying her mom more. She climbed up to the roof. She hadn't been up there since the day of the fire, but she felt the need to be isolated.

"Hello, Mina."

"Jared?"
