OK! Juss sayin not every character will act like they would in real. Except mine.. Cuz the shorts and tank top with ice skates thing? That's totally me. Id wear that anywhere xD ANNYWAY. Enjoy :D
Meg's POV
I thought that after last night things would be awkward between Landon and I. But it wasn't. He was just as loving and caring as he had been last night. It was strange actually.. Oh well.
I went to the mall with Emily to help figure out what she was going to wear for her romantic date with Munro. Obviously it was Erin's idea to go all red goth on us so we went to Hot Topic. One of the best goth/emo stores ever.
It was full of tall emo workers and goth teenagers checking out lacy gloves and elmo hats. I could tell Emily was right at home with all these things.
We spotted a short lacy dress at the back. It was just how i imagined it. Red torso, black lace halter, black ruffles and it would look perfect with the red chain gloves i spotted when we came in.
She quickly tried it on and i got the gloves and forced her to put them on. She looked amazing. I was truthfully jealous of her. Now all she needed some knee high black buckle boots to complete her outfit.
We bought the dress and gloves and headed out to the center of the mall.
"Where do you think the boots would be?" i asked over the roar of the costumers shopping for Christmas. That reminded me i needed to get a lot of shopping done. If we were going to be spending Christmas with Munro, Luke, Thomas, Landon, Adam, Aislinn and everyone we would need to get a lot of shopping done..
I wonder what they would want though. And i have to find out quickly. Christmas is less than a week away.. 4 days to be exact! I wonder if anyone actually realized it. "MMMMEEEGGGGG!" Emily sang in my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. "WHAT!" i snapped.
"Well sorry but i was ASKING you a QUESTION" she huffed and started down one of the aisles of the mall. "Sorry" i sighed catching up to her. "I was thinking about Christmas.. and Landon.. and everything"
"Its fine. Your right. We do have some Christmas shopping to do.. You need to text everyone about it." she smiled and tossed me her phone.

"Done" i grinned and shoved the phone in my pocket.
About 6 minutes later i got 3 texts back
Erin - I don't know. Where do you wanna spend it? I know I'm spending it with you guys and Thomas. Maybe we should have it at Munro's house considering ours isn't decorated..
Luke - How the hell would i know? I'm spending every minute i can with Meli.
Tricia - I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD LUNCH WITH MARC MINARDI! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Well aren't they helpful... I groaned to myself as i texted the only helpful person back. Erin.
Should we have it at the lodge? Or something? I'm sure Munro wouldn't mind us staying longer. I mean it is his lodge.
Erin - Sure! I'll call and ask him and i'll call you after.
Ok! Haha.
I shoved the phone back in my pocket waiting for Erin to call. I walked up behind Emily looking at the perfect boots.
"Are you going to get them?" i asked quietly. "I dont know if they have my size.. But they look perfect." "Try them on already!" i exclaimed. "FINE!" she snapped and shoved her foot into the perfect fitting boot. "They fit! YAY!" she smiled and took them off to purchase them.
The ride home was silent, until i got a call from Erin.
"Meg?"
"Yes?"
"He said we can but he didn't say until how long. We're all going out to dinner tomorrow night to discuss it."
"Oh. Ok. Emily is all ready for her date tonight!"
"Really? With Munro? What is she wearing?"
"A beautiful red dress. You'll see it when we get home. If your home.. You are home right?"
"No. I'm not. Thomas and i are going skiing. Sorry! I'll see it before she leaves."
"Oh ok. Where's Meli?"
"Her and Luke left about a half an hour ago to go snowboarding. We're gonna go to a movie tonight. You and Landon can join us if you want?"
"Sounds great! I'll see you tonight."
"Bye!"
She hung up.
"What did she say?" Emily asked, her eyes still focused on the road.
"Munro said yes but didn't say much. I'm assuming we can stay till Sunday." i replied and watched out the window as the city started to dissappear and tree's started to take their place.
"Well i'll talk to him tonight." she said quietly after a few minutes of driving. We pulled into the lodge parking lot and got out, all our bags in hand. "Remind me i have to go Christmas shopping tomorrow with all of you." "Will do" she smiled and started walking.
I got a text from Thomas.
Us MEN already got our shopping done. Maybe for the ladies maybe not. You'll have to see (;
"Ugh! Erin picked a weird guy." I mumbled as i shoved open the front door, the smell of cookies filling my senses.
This was going to be a weird Christmas..
Meli's POV
We were almost ready to start snow boarding. I was so excited but so nervous i was going to hurt myself. I was nervous Luke would laugh at me and i'd die of embaressment.
But i wanted to learn so bad and with Luke teaching me this was going to be fun.
I was trying to put my gloves on when i heard my phone ring. I opened it up to see Tricia's number. I pressed accept call and held it to my ear to hear Tricia sobbing.
"Tricia? What's wrong? Whats going on?" i asked desperately.
"H-H-He's he's in the hospital. He's almost dead-" she broke down crying.
"Who?" i exclaimed. "S-Sam!" she started sobbing into the phone. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?" i screamed and Luke looked up at me with a weird expression.
"He he got in a a car accident.. I think. That's what he told everyone and now he's dieing in the hospital" i could practically see the tears running down her cheeks. A pang of guilt took over my heart and i could feel the tears trickling down my cheek. "Oh my God. Tricia we'll be right there. Ok?" i asked and signaled for Luke to come on as i stomped down the hill. "Sure" she sniffed and hung up.
"What's going on?" he begged me for an answer. "Sam is dieing in the hospital." i stated bluntly and rushed into the car. "We need to get to the hospital NOW.." my voice trailed off.
"What? I.. Ok." his sad eyes looked up at me before turning on the engine and speeding to the hospital.
This was going to be bad...
Tricia's POV
How could one of the best days of my life, turn so horrible? Why? I did nothing wrong! I met one of my IDOLS. And Sam just HAD to go all arts and crafts and get jealous.
Was he TRYING to ruin today for me? No! He wouldn't! He loved me! Or so i thought. I didn't want him to die. I wanted to be there for him. But just seeing him in that hospital room made me sick to my stomach. So here i was, standing in the waiting room waiting for my friends.
They all showed up about 15 minutes after i called them. Yea. Dressed in the most ridiculous outfits.. Ever.
Nicole was wearing a fancy blue cut off dress with tap dancing shoes, Adam wore a sparkly blue vest and a white button up.
Erin wore neon green short shorts, a black tank top and ice skates, Thomas wore white shorts and a black t-shirt with ice skates.
Emily wore a emo looking black and red dress with knee high buckle boots, her makeup half done. Munro didn't show up yet though.
Meg wore pajamas and moccasins and was drinking a frappachino.. Landon the same.
Meli and Luke both wore snow boarding gear, snow pants, heavy coats, hats, gloves, goggles, and both carried a snow board..
Nick and Aislinn were wearing matching party hats.. While Aislinn wore a night gown and Nick wore blue plaid boxers. That kinda creeped me out a bit.
Wow. I was starting to question why i'm friends with these people. But then realized because i love them. And no one could compare to their level of stupidity.
We all bunched into a group hug and i started bawling again. Everyone was questioning me about him and what happened and i couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
A nurse came around the corner and saw everyone standing there like that. She asked if we would all like to go see him.. While he's still here. Everyone except Nick and I went. I couldn't stand seeing him like that anymore and Nick had a general fear of hospitals. And needles..
"Everythings going to be ok Tricia." he assured me as he brought me into a hug and i bawled into his shoulder.
"I know. I'm just.. I'm going to miss him. If he does die." i choked out and continued bawling into his shoulder.
Erin's POV
I couldn't believe this. Why would he try to kill himself? I know people can get jealous sometimes but really? This is NOT the way to handle it.
Seeing him in the bed like that, looking like the talking breathing dead, made me cry.
I started shaking as the tears trickled down my cheeks. Thomas pulled me into a hug and over his shoulder i could see all the other girls crying. Meg had set her coffee down and was bawling into Landon's chest, Nicole was sitting on Adams lap, crying into his shoulder, Emily was trying to be strong and stand by Sam to talk to him.. But you could see she was on the verge of crying.
Meli was throwing a fit and practically screaming at Sam for doing this to Tricia.. Luke was trying to hold her back but the words just spat out.
Sam put his hand over his heart in shock, obviously oblivious to what he did to her.
I couldn't stand looking at this any more. I broke from Thomas's arms and wobbled out of the room and down the hall to the elevator. He tried to keep up but stopped after tripping and running into a nurse.
"Erin stop!" he called from down the hall. But i couldn't look back. I didn't want to think about what would happen if Thomas died. Or if any of my friends down the hall died. I wanted to leave the hospital. Now.
I wished i could take the burden off of Tricia's shoulders and kick it clear into New Mexico. Let them deal with it.
I wanted to crawl in a hole and die myself right there. I felt for Tricia and Sam and everyone else, but i couldn't deal with it anymore. After everything id been through in my life; my biological father trying to kill me, leaving me at my grandparents house where i would be adopted, then getting himself killed? Where my biological mom was always drunk and high and never cared for any of her 4 kids including me?
How she tried to step back in my life when i was 12, just to ruin it. How my little brother with fetal alchohol syndrome tried to stab me in the back with a knife. How i almost lost my life numerous times, i couldn't take it anymore.
I took off my ice skates and threw them on a nearby bench. I grabbed my converse and a jacket from my backpack and put them on. My legs were cold and i was a dumbass for wearing shorts but i didn't care. I was leaving. I couldn't deal with this right now. All my life i had been put down by EVERYONE. I had lost the ones i was closest too and i was a nobody.
I might as well stay that way.
I started walking. I was leaving and i was going back to Iowa. I needed to get something off my chest and no one could stop me. I couldn't deal with it anymore.
Nicole's POV
"Where the hell is she going?" i whispered to Adam who was trying to comfort me. "I don't know." he whispered back.
"Why isn't anyone following her? Adam! She's going to hurt herself! We've had to stop her numerous times!" i exclaimed and tried to get up but Adams grip on my hips tightened and he held me down.
"Thomas is going to try to talk to her." he stated sternly as Thomas wobbled in on his skates, looking down at the ground.
I stood up and got off of Adams lap to go talk to Thomas.
"Thomas.. What's going on?" i whispered and he looked up at me.
"She's gone. She refused to talk to me. I don't know where she's going but she wont answer her phone." he looked down as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"No. No no no noo" i could feel the tears building up in my eyes. "No!" i exclaimed and ran out of the room. She couldn't do this. Not now. Not with Tricia mourning over Sam when he's not even dead yet and not with Christmas coming up. She just couldn't.
3 Days Later
Erin's POV
Finally. I was gone. Out of Canada. Not for good. I don't think. But for now. Yes.
I got about 70 calls a day from everyone trying to contact me but i never answered any of them. I didn't want to talk. I didn't want to listen. I was sick of everything happening like this.
I even got about 900 texts saying Sam was going to live. And it was all just a big miss understanding. He was hit by a drunk driver while walking to the store for something.
But it didn't matter.
I wanted to hear Thomas's voice again. I wanted to see him. I wanted to feel his arms around me again but i knew it wouldn't happen after i walked out on him like that.
Maybe i should just stay here forever. I knew he, just like everyone else, would hate me.
I met up with someone i never thought i'd see again though.
I was sitting on the grave of the one person i thought cared about me. But died of cancer. Tragically.
His name was Isaac. He was my best friend and boyfriend for 3 months until he died in his sleep.
I never thought i'd love again. I never wanted to feel the pain again. But it just happened.
I was crying and talking to him. It felt like he was still there holding my hand and holding me close.
I heard foot steps behind me, when i realized i wasn't alone. Of course i would never be, its a cemetery. But for once i thought i was.
I turned my head slightly to see him.
Luke.
The guy who stole my heart.
And shattered it.
"I heard you were back in town." he whispered and sat down beside me. "What do you want." i sniffed, the tears in my eyes blurring up his face slightly.
"I wanted to apologize. For everything." he sighed and rest his hands in his lap.
"Why?" i looked up into his sparkling blue eyes. Man i missed them.
"Because. I heard about everything that has happened too you this past week.. Macie told me." he smirked a little.
"Macie." i grumbled.
"She was just trying to help. We still keep in touch even though im pretty sure we hate eachother. She told me you talked to her yesterday and you poured your heart out about everything. Meeting your online friends, living in a penthouse, falling in love with a nationally ranked trampolinist, Thomas."
I was shocked. He wasn't mad?
"You've had a rough life Erin. And im sorry i had to make it worse. Me and Joel and everyone else." he continued.
"It's not your fault." i could feel the tears building up again.
He put his arms around me and pulled me into a hug.
"Thanks" i smiled lightly looking up at him.
"Your welcome." he smiled and kissed my forehead. "But i think someone or some people want to see you.." he grinned and turned me around to reveal everyone. Meg, Landon, Tricia, Sam, Marc, Jake, Nicole, Ciarra, Emily, Val, Kayley, Munro, Luke, Nick, Aislinn and Thomas.
My heart fluttered. And all i could think was how amazing of friends i had. And most of all.. An amazing boyfriend.
-Ducks at the flying objects getting thrown at me- Hope you liked it. I was listening to sad songs when i wrote it. Sorry if you hated it. But this will be a happy never ending story. Ok? Ok.
