Chapter 7
-Starr's room-
"Wow Starr I can't believe both your mom and Dorian are okay with this." Starr looks at Langston and smiles a sad smile. "Wait what's wrong?" Langston sits at Starr's desk and listens as her friend starts to speak.
"I am glad that they're okay with this but I'm not sure I'm okay that this happened." Langston looks at Starr confused. "No don't get me wrong I loved Cole with all my heart but if I was able to change the past I would because if Cole and I didn't meet that night, both him and Markko would still be alive and things would be the same as they used to be." Starr starts to cry.
"Starr listen to me, the boys' deaths were not your fault. I mean Markko and I helped plan that night too. No one knew that your dad would go nuts and kill them." Langston sits on the bed and hugs her friend.
"I know but I still wish I could change it." Starr looks at Langston who is looking at a picture of the four teens. "I know this is as hard for you as it is for me." Langston looks at Starr with tears in her eyes.
"He died protecting me. When your dad was coming after me, Markko jumped between us and told your dad that the whole night was his idea. When he knew for a fact he would not have been here if I hadn't asked him to come. If he wasn't here your dad would have killed me and maybe that would be for the best. Markko had people who loved him, he has people who miss him. Who do I have?" Starr looks at Langston, mad.
"What is your problem Langston? Cause you know if anything happened to you it would kill me, not to mention how my aunt feels about you. We love you so much, we've all been through so much together. I mean, you're like my sister. I can tell you everything and I know you are always here for me. So next time think before you talk like that again because I love you and I would miss you and that will never change understand me?" Langston nods and hugs her friend.
