Everything was back to the way it was. The only thing that wasn't what it was before was Piers and his mother finally getting along. The two of them for the past two weeks were close. They both played board games, watch movies, and also talk.

Piers was kind of glad that because of the fake relationship him and Claire had, it made him and his mother close and not argue about Rose.

It's been two weeks since Piers seen Claire. He sees her brother Chris every day of course and her friends and also everyone else but her. It honestly didn't bother him at all. He was just a bit curious of where she may be. At first he thought maybe Claire had run away? But then he realizes Claire wouldn't do such foolishness. Everything was okay. Steve was no longer alive…well…that's what he's hoping for.

The police haven't found Steve's body yet. It's been two weeks since the incident too. "Piers?" "Uh yes mom?" "It's your turn to go." A knock suddenly appears on the front door. "I'll get it." The father said going over to the door to open it. He opens it and two police officers were in sight.

"Hello officers. How may I help you?" Piers father let the two officers enter inside the home. He closes the door behind him and Piers and his mother got up from the rug. "What happen?" "One of the officers was searching in the lake for Steve's body and while he was searching, he found this locket that we may think it belongs to you."

One of the officers hand Piers mother a necklace. "Oh my-" She tried her best not to cry. "This…this belongs to Rose…" "Yup. We also wanted to let you guys know that Steve Burnside was found. He's in the emergency room at the hospital. Not that you guys care or anything. Just wanted to inform you."

"Thank you officers for coming by here." "No problem." The two officers left the house and Piers stretches. "Boy I am exhausted." "I believe it is your bedtime." His father told him. "Dad, it's only nine o' clock. Plus, my bedtime is ten." "Fine. You've been through a lot but when all of this clears up bedtime is nine." "Fine."

Before Piers went upstairs, he helped his mother put the game board pieces back inside the box and then went upstairs to his bedroom. As soon as he enters inside of his room, he hears his phone buzzing a lot. "What the hell?" He went over to his bed and grabs his phone.

He unlocks it and sees there were twenty text messages. One text message from his new girlfriend Helena and the nineteen text messages from his best friend Chris. Piers was a bit lazy to reply to his text messages so he went to his bathroom to get prepare for bed.

He spends twenty minutes in the shower and then brushes his teeth. When he put on fresh clean clothes, he heard his phone buzzing again. It better not be Chris again. Piers plots on his bed and starts to read Chris's text messages.

Chris: SPAM

Piers: Dammit Chris. You're starting to annoy me.

Chris: Really? Mission accomplish!

Piers: So what was that all about?

Chris: I was going to tell you that Steve is alive! He's in the fucking hospital!

Piers: You think I don't already know that?! The cops just told me!

Chris: What are we going to do?

Piers: I don't know...perhaps maybe Steve learned his lesson?

Chris: Hopefully he did. I have to go man, I'm tired as fuck.

Piers: Alright. See you tomorrow.

Piers clicked on Helena's phone number and texted her back,

Piers: Sorry for the late reply. Was busy spending time with my mom.

Helena: It's alright. :) I understand.

Piers: I'm glad you understand. That's one of my reasons why I like you so much.

Helena: Aweh. You're too sweet. That's one of my reasons why I love you so much.

Helena: Uh what I meant was like* Stupid damn auto correct.

Piers: Don't lie to me now. :P I love you too. I swear.

Helena: You don't have to swear 3 I know you do 3

Piers: I love you Helena Harper.

Helena: I love you too Piers Nivans. Hey, I have to go. Goodnight & TTYL :*

Just that Piers just stare at his phone screen and smiles. He loved Helena so much. He wishes at this moment that he was with her. The next ten minutes later he fell asleep and a bad dream appears.

Piers was swimming in the lake. Well, trying to come up to breathe. He just couldn't because of the waves were pretty strong. Steve was right behind him, pulling him by his leg casing him to drown with him. Piers thought it was the end for him so he just closes his eyes and think of Helena's smile.

For some reason, he could hear Steve's laughter in the water.

Piers woke up and sit up straight in his bed. He was sweating a lot and he notices that his room was dark. Mom must've came inside here and put my lights out. Piers kept on panting. He was still tired but he didn't want to go back to sleep. What if Steve appears in his dream again? Piers isn't afraid of Steve. He was just afraid that Steve might hurt Helena next. But deep inside of him he knew he was just over reacting.

He looks at his phone to see what time it is and it was only three twenty-five a.m. "I was sleeping for that long? How is that even possible?" Piers rubs his eyes and then went back to sleep. This time, he slept good and had a good dream.

The next morning, Piers ate breakfast and headed out his house to walk to school. Half way there, he notices Chris. "Hey man! What happen to your car?" "I thought about taking a break…what about you?" "Claire is using it." "I haven't seen or hear from Claire over two weeks now…how is she?" "She's doing pretty fine I guess. Yesterday, our uncle and aunt came down here from all the way from California to here to pick her up."

"So she's going to spend this summer vacation in California?" "Yup." "How come you didn't go? Ah wait…Jill right?" "Of course. Fuck California. I've been there a couple of times and yes it's pretty cool. Right now I just want to focus on Jill. Besides, every year they come down here to pick us up!"

Piers was a bit upset how Claire didn't even say goodbye to him or even told him about it. But it was a sign right? A sign that meant for them to never be together. And not to mention, to stay away from her. Piers then shake the feeling off and smiles at his best friend. "Come on."

The end!
