My hand started to feel sweaty in Jacks as we near the entrance to the school, "what's wrong with everyone?"

I glance over at Fineas who looks confused course he doesn't know what it was like before the flash, relationship wise at least. I take a chance a look back over at Mel who mouths oh my god, and runs over to us. She pushes me behind her tearing me away from Jack, as far as she knows the last time we saw each other Jackson was yelling at me and had thrown me and my sketchbook onto the ground.

"You get away from her you son of a bitch!" , she had a menacing tone in her voice one that I had never heard before. Jack smirked obviously enjoying this while Mathew watched as Finn and Lark came closer.

"What is up, were you guys not like, together before the flash or what, and who.. is she!" ,he ogled at Mel in her light almost see through top and skinny jeans and block heels. Lark elbowed him hard in the ribs, "ow, what?"

" Mel, this will be really hard to explain but-" , Mathew interrupted me.

"Not arcana."

I let out a sigh, "Mathew, she's my best friend."

"okay will someone tell me what the hell is going on, and were's Brandon, and who are these people?" , she gestured at Finn, Lark and Mathew. I couldn't stand to lie to Mel but I had to.

"This in Finn, Lark, and Mathew." Finn jerked his chin a bit and Lark waved. Mathew cocked his head sideways, "non-arcana?"

"And I broke up with Brandon this morning, he knows."

She stares at me in shock, "you broke up with him! But you said that you loved him, and even more so you dumped him for Jackson Deveaux? Who last I remember stole our phones, and your notebook then when we tried to get them back, throwing you and all your drawings into the mud! So can you explain to me why in just twelve hours you've seem to have a complete change in heart. Evie!"

This outburst made everyone stare by now the bell had rung and everyone else was heading inside talking in what looked like a failing attempt at whispering. Probably about what they just saw. I looked up at Jack for support but he just shrugged, "Got me, peekon." , his mouth curving up at the edges.

Lark was the first to speak, "Wait, backup a second, you're trying to tell us that Jackson pushed her onto the ground? And stole your phones? That doesn't sound like him, he wouldn't do anything to hurt Evie!"

Mathew walked over to Finn and stood next to him grabbing Mel's attention for a split second, "Evie I know I'm probably being a shitty friend right now but I need a major explanation from you because last night you were so pissed at Jackson and all the other idiot Cajuns plus you were acting really freaked out 'cause of the whole red witch thing you told me about-" ,Jack interrupted her.

"You told her 'bout your hallucinations too, damn Evie."

Mel continued, "-you even told him about them! I'm sorry any way, with all of that shit and now in one night you've broken up with Brandon, acting like you haven't seen me in years, found three new friends who I think one has a mental issue -no offense- and your dating the person you loathed the most inYour entire life time. So as your best friend I would love to be reasonable and understanding but I need some answers."

Fineas snuck a glance at her, "wow that's a lot."

I open my mouth to say something but Mathew stops me, "Arcana means secrets, Keep ours."

I stare at Mel her eyes are pleading, she's never lied to me before and has always been there for me even when I told her about my crazy life with CLC and everything. Sister from another mister is started to feel like it's drifting apart. Besides its not just my secret to tell its all of ours.

"I hate to say it but Mathews right, this time we need to keep this to ourselves." ,fineas glances at me for a second before moving his gaze toward Jack, I turn my head to look up at him hopefully for some answers. Our eyes meet and he nods, "Ouais."

I take Ina deep sigh and look back at Mel taking a step forward and embracing her in a tight hug. One that I've wished for since I last saw her at on the side of the road. I finally step back to look at her, "I'm really sorry Mel you know I'd never do this to you unless I had a good reason to. But this isn't just my secret to tell and I can't do that, as much as I want to." ,I feel a tear start to trickle down my face, "you just have to trust me, I will tell you just not now. I'm sorry Mel."

She keeps her gaze on me and it doesn't waver, "I'm sorry to Evie."

The others start to walk forward toward the school and I hesitantly follow them grabbing Jacks hand in mine he gives it a soft squeeze. Mel had always need so confident and so kind and trusting in me. She never let me down and didn't care what anyone else thought of her. She was unwavering and so steady unlike me who could break at anytime without her. If it weren't for Jackson I wouldn't have made it that far without Mel by my side. She did so much for me and the one chance that I get to do something for her I walk away leaving her behind to clean up the mess. We walk the rest of the way in silence not even Finn has a goofy SoCal remark.
