"He….he got hit by a car…..and he didn't make it…" I break down crying again and troy hugs me tighter. After a while I calm down and pull away from troy. I see a huge mascara stain on his shirt.

"Omg troy I'm sorry I've got mascara all over you"

"Don't worry about it as long as you're ok"

"Yeah how are you feeling?"

"I don't really know. I mean I talked to him on the phone this afternoon. He was telling me where he was taking gabby for there anniversary"

"Was it today?"

"Yeah. It was there 3 year"

"Omg….that's awful…how's Gabriella?" Sharpay asks and I could see tears in her eyes so her brother Ryan hugs her

"Terrible apparently….I can't believe it….how could this have happened to him? He was such a nice guy….he was always there for us no matter what and he had been in love with gabby for about 2 years before he got enough courage to ask her out"

"Taylor I'm so sorry" Chad says and hugs me as does everyone else

"So am I"

"Taylor call me when you get there"

"Ok mom I will" I hug my mom and then move onto my dad. We're at the airport and I'm just about to catch my flight to Colorado. It's been 3 days since josh died and I'm flying out for the funeral. I know gabby going to need help to get through the next couple of days.

"Who's picking you up at the airport?"

"I don't know Robert said he would arrange something"

"So you don't actually know it could be anyone" I can my mom is starting to worry

"Mom don't panic I'm sure it will be someone I know. It's probably him or Maria"

"Ok but you ring them if there's any problem and then you ring us straight after ok?"

"Mom you have got to stop worrying ok. I'm going to be fine and remember that it is only 3 days"

"Ok. I'm sorry I just can't help it"

"I know but mom you have to remember that I am big girl and I can look after myself"

"I know"

"You better go before you miss your flight"

"Ok bye" I hug them both again and start walking towards the gate

"Oh and Taylor" I hear my dad so I turn around

"Yeah"

"Remember to talk to Gabriella and her parents about what we said"

"ok I will"

"give her our love"

"bye"

"bye" I board the plane and find my seat. This is going to be a long trip. I get out my book and put my bag in the overhead locker. As I open the book a photo falls out. I see that it's a picture of me, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad and Troy. On the back is written. We're always here for you. We love you. Sharpay, Troy, Chad and Ryan xxxxxxxx. Awww they are so sweet. A few hours later I'm walking into the departure gate with my case looking for Robert or Maria. Omg is that…….no it can't be can it? Omg it is.

"TAYLOR" he comes over to me and we hug tightly. I can't believe it. He's changed so much since I was last here.

"Chris is it really you? We haven't seen each other in ages have we? How are you?"

"Ok well it really is me. No we haven't seen each other in ages and I'm fine what about you?"

"I'm as good as you can get in this situation"

"I know it's awful. I can t believe it"

"How are you coping? I mean you were his best friend" we have started walking towards his car and I can see that he has tears in his eyes though I know he wont cry in front of me. We stop at his car and he turns to me.

"You were his best friend too"

"I know but you were closer to him and you saw him a lot more than me these past 8 months" he shrugs and doesn't say anything just puts my bags in the car and gets in. I follow his lead and get in the passenger side. He starts the car and we drive in total silence. I notice that we're not going in the direction of Gabriella's house.

"Where are we going?"

"I wanna show you something" he stops the car and we get out. I look around and see trees on one side and the road on the other.

"Where are we?"

"Follow me" he takes my hand and leads me through the trees. After about 10 minutes walking in silence we come to a clearing and gasp. I remember this place. We found it when we went camping once and from then we came back here every few months to camp. We'd sometimes come just to hang out and talk.

"I remember this place. I used to love coming here. I came on my own when I needed to think about stuff"

"But camping was always the best right?"

"Of course. I can't wait until we all go in…" I stop realizing what I've said. We can't all go in March because we're not all here. Neither of us says anything but I can tell Chris is thinking the same thing. Everything is different now and there is no way to change it back.

"It's ok to cry you know. I wont tell anyone" he doesn't say anything but I see a small smile on his lips but as soon as it comes it leaves.

"I just don't understand" he sits down on one of the massive rocks

"Understand what?"

"I just don't understand why it had to happen. Josh was the nicest guy in the world. He would always know when something was wrong and he would always be there for you no matter what. You know that time I started drinking all time he was the one who made me realize what I was doing and pulled me out of it. And even when I was completely drunk and swore at him and hit him he still made sure I got home safe and wasn't mad at all. He was such a good friend to me and I cant help but think about all the times I've acted like jerk to him and how he still found away to forgive me. He was never out of second chances. It shouldn't have been him. He was gonna have such a great life. It shouldn't have been him. If had to be someone it should have been me"

"Don't say that. Don't even think that do hear me. It shouldn't have been anyone. Nobody deserves it. Not you, not josh, no one. You can't blame it on yourself or you'll go crazy trying to figure out why it happened"

"why did it happen"

"I don't know. We'll never know" I can see tears rolling down his cheeks. He stands up and I hug him. I can feel the tears on my face as well. We just stand here hugging each other and crying. We're both lost in our own thoughts about Josh. He really didn't deserve this.

Please Review. I love to hear what you guys think. REVIEW. Love Tashii xx
