Jessica kept running until she ended up at Casablancas Mansion. Dick's house why she came here is beyond her but she felt safe as she approaches the door. She always did. She knocked on the door. Dick's dad opened the door. Jessica hi how are you asks Richard? I'm alright says Jessica as she kept herself from crying. What can I do for you he asks? Is Dick home she asks as she looks around the outside of the house? Yes give me a second I'll get him you can come in says Dick's dad.

He walked through the house and went into the game room and got his oldest. The surfer boy walked into the main hall. He notices tears in her eyes. What happened he asks? She's gone she was lying there in a pool of blood and she was just gone rambles Jessica as she looks up at Dick with tears coming down her face. Jess your scaring me who are you talking about asks Dick as he holds onto her. Lily she chokes out.

We found Duncan outside and Veronica went to check out the back and she screamed and so I followed and her dad and the Kane's were there.I saw her body and I just ran she says as she hugs Dick. Here questions Dick? I guess I wasn't thinking I just needed to get away says Jessica as she pulls away and cries harder. Dick walks up behind her.

Um you should hear it from me before the news covers it says Jessica as she looks at her friend's family. What asks Richard? Lily Kane was killed tonight says Dick for Jessica. What by who how says everyone in the room. I don't know by who but the what is her head was bashed in says Jessica as she begins to cry again. We will leave you guys alone says Dick's mom. Okay he replied as he brings Jessica into the living room. They sit and talk about memories of Lily but soon fall asleep.

(One week Later Funeral) He never left her side since everything had happened. He wasn't with Madison so being with her felt so right. It always had. Logan and he had taken shifts watching Veronica and Jessica in the week that followed Lily's death. Now it was time to say goodbye one final time.

They walked into the church and the preacher began once everyone was seated. We come to celebrate a life that was taken so tragically from us. Lily Kane will be remembered with happy memories and not the sad ones we create Lily name was mentioned Jessica squeezed her ex boyfriends hand.

He put one hand over her shoulder as she let her body be come over with grief and she breaks down in tears. It's okay you're going to be okay says Dick as he holds her and he leans over and kisses her head. Soon enough Veronica was crying as well.

Then the two girls heard there names it was time for them to speak.

Veronica and Jessica took each other's hand and walked up together. Veronica spoke first. Lily was my best friend and she has been since we were little. We did everything together from shopping to the type of movies we watched. I miss her so much all ready and I don't know what I am going to do now that she has left us. I loved her she was just like my sister sometimes I thought we were. I will always miss her but may she rest in peace. Goodbye Lils says Veronica as she stands behind Jessica.

So much to say about a great friend sister and daughter says Jessica as she starts. I could take hours but I will be brief.

Lily has always been a good friend protective at times, sometimes she was worse than my brother. She was so smart but she made sure no one ever knew it except the ones who were close to her. She let me into her circle of friends without second thoughts when I moved here and soon enough Lily, Veronica and I were inseparable.

I will always miss her and I don't see this as goodbye because I believe that we will meet again and when we our time comes she will be waiting for us with open arms. I love you Lily watch over us and I'll see you soon says Jessica as she starts to cry again. Veronica and her hug and walk back to their seats.

Dick met them halfway as did Logan as they each hug the girls. The four walk back to their seats. You okay Dick asks? No I'm not why is she gone we still need her yells Jessica as she breaks down. Making Veronica cry harder. Dick held onto her and never wanted to let go. Soon enough the funeral was over and they buried her. She was gone forever.

( Casablancas') They were making out on the couch. We shouldn't be doing this says Jessica as she pulls away. Totally right says Dick as he looks away. O what the heck she says as they kiss again. Neither caring what happened. Jessica wanted the pain of losing Lily to be a memory.

(Next day) The couple woke up the next morning. He didn't know what to do. He went into the kitchen and made breakfast. Jessica walked in a few minutes later. Morning she says. Hey he replied. So are we going to talk about last night asks Jess? You know that I care about you but you and me can't work we aren't 14 anymore and I will just hurt you so I think we should just be friends says Dick. Do you like read minds because I was thinking I was thinking the same thing lies Jessica.

Awesome but I want you to know I don't regret anything that has happened between us says Dick as he hugs her. They had breakfast and Jessica headed home.

I don't know what I would have done if it had been you or Jess says Logan as he kisses her head. I love you says Veronica. I love you too he replies. They walked into their first class of the day.
