Alden and I were walking in the hallway- his hand clasped around mine. I looked nervously, trying to ignore the whispers and stares. Kira smiled at me as I passed her.

But trouble lingered around the corner. You'd spotted us.

We stopped dead in front of you.

"What the hell is going on?" You said, angered.

"Dude, chill out." Alden said, pulling me a little closer.

"No, man. What the hell are you doing with my girl?!" You said, your voice raising.

Alden dropped my hand, pushing me back a little. "Your girl?"

"Yeah, MY girl."

I swallowed. "Dray, I'm NOT yours!"

"Tia, let me handle this." You said, looking back at Alden. "I thought you were my friend, man."

"I am. But she's just not YOUR girl."

You got up closer to Alden, pushing him. Alden's expression changed instantly- anger splashed across his face.

The next thing I knew, you were holding him against the locker, your fist colliding with his cheek. He pushed you away, but you went back for him. A teacher came around just as a crowd began to gather, pulling you away from him. I was standing in horror- close to tears. Tears spilled out of my eyes, and I took off for the bathroom, both of you exclaiming "Tia!" after me. I didn't care. I didn't like this. You'd gone too far.

((Why were you doing this?))

I sat in my bedroom the day, flipping through old pictures of Dan and I, hugging a pillow to my chest. Darana came in, leaning against the door frame.

"You okay, T?"

I didn't even look up, just kept flipping through the stack of pictures...trying to hold back the tears.

"T?" She came in and sat down on the end of my bed, noticing the pictures. "I know something's wrong. You never pull those out unless something's wrong. Come on, Tia. Tell me."

I swallowed back tears. "Alden and Dray got in a fight today. It was horrible..."

Darana looked so perfectly sympathetic and genuine. But I felt I could trust no one. No one in this world could ever replace what I'd lost.

Even you.

Especially you.

((God must hate me.))

My cell phone started vibrating across my night table. My eyes snapped open, darting towards the clock. It was 1:30 in the morning. I grabbed my cell phone, reading the number on it's screen.

It was you.

What did you want at this time of night?

"I don't wanna talk to you." I answered, my voice cracked from sleep.

"Oh, but I wanna talk to you."

Not your voice. A girl's voice.

Dulcie.

"Dulcie?"

"Mmmhmm. We have some buisness to discuss."

"I don't care, Dulcie. You can have him."

"Oh, it's more then that. Meet me at Limestone Point, tomorrow night- midnight."

"You're kidding me. What the hell do you want?"

Soft laughter.

"You'll see."

((I hate surprises.))
