I own only my characters.

***** Mr. and Mrs. Wilton looked into Peter's eyes somehow hoping for even the least bit of hope. The sadness on Peter's face indicated that.. well, that there was no hope. It was all over.

"I'm sorry..." Peter choked out. "Plea-please forgive me.. I swear I did all I could... but- but we lost him" He wiped his eyes.

Anger suddenly flared up into Mrs. Walton's face. She lunged toward Peter screaming and kicking.

"YOU! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY SON! Where the hell were you when.. when that MONSTER, whoever he was, HIT my SON with a CAR!?" Mr. Wilton grabbed his wife, gently and pulled her back. She had no strength left and gave up, falling into her husbands arms, sobbing...

"Honey, honey.. its okay! It's going to be okay. Shh" Mr. Wilton tried to comfort his wife and shot a glare at Peter. "This isn't over..." he whispered and walked over to a chair to sit down. A doctor came over to check on Mrs. Wilton every once in a while.

Marc got up and walked off... no one wants their older siblings to see them crying.

***** Staci finally made it to school grounds and sighed in relief.

"I'm home," She muttered, it sounded corny but it was true.. and she was happy.

Catching a sight of familiar blonde hair made her heard jump. She snuck up behind the older woman and laughed.

"Long time no see, eh, Soph?" Staci said laughing. Sophie wheeled around.

"Where have you BEEN!?" She screamed, pulling Staci into a hug. "Why did you run away from home?" She asked gently pulling back and looking her straight in the eyes.

***** Staggering out behind Sophie, Katie wiped her eyes and her heart jumped out of her throat.

"Staci.." She whispered confused, to no one in particular. her eyes lit up when her friend turned around almost sensing her presence. Staci smiled weakly, then turned back to Sophie.

"I'm tired, can I go to bed now? You can call my parents whenever.." She said, and walked off.

"I'm glad your back," Katie said as they crossed paths.

"Me too... I just want to go see Isaac" Staci said and walked off. Katie grabbed her by the arm and whispered into her ear.

"That wont be possible.." She said. Staci pulled back and looked at her strangely.

"Why..?"

"Because, Isaac died a few minutes ago..." Katie said and walked off, knowing Staci needed alone time... It seemed as if she always did.
