I could've called 911 for emergency but then again. I remembered this is England!!

"Why did you bring her here?" I asked him. Jace wore the hoodie and Tiffany's eyes were on Jace. And yes. The girl is TIFFANY!!

"I'm sorry. I just thought you guys need to talk." Toby said.

"I don't have anything to say to her!!" I said

"But ...."

"Are you her mouthpiece Toby? Let her talk!!" Cin said and I turned to continue my game.

"Liz ....."

"It's Elizabeth." I snap.

"I want to talk to you!" She said.

"Well i don't want to cause I don't need to. Toby, please walk her to the door!!" I said.

Call me wicked, but when i Hate you. I really do. I never hate anyone for a reason. And if I do. We're not gonna get along well for life!! Except if I want to.

Look at Betty.

Then i had a text. I checked it. Barbie.

     Talk to her muffin, you never know what happens until you talk to her. At least she's willing to talk and apologize!!
              - Barbie.

I looked at Jace, though I can't see his face. But I know he must be giving me those cute serious looks!! I grunt.

"Fine!!" I said and stood up.

I looked at her again. Wearing black too short skirt, green crop top and loose sweater. Please, is she not cold? Whatever. I don't care.

"Toby you can finish my game!!" I said and Toby smiled.

"Thanks Liz!!" He said and hugged me.

"Be patient and kind." He whispered to me.

"I will if I want to!!" I said and he left me.

"Please!!" He said and I just left the game room. She kept following me until I led her up to the room I share with Jace. She sat on the couch.

"Thanks for hearing me...."

"Please make this snappy." I said.

She sighed and made those guilty eyes. So pathetic. It's obvious she's doing this just to get Toby!!

I mean. Toby is a nice guy, he likes girls easily and she's not gonna get my friend. Cause someone like her, one should be wary off!!

"I don't know where to start from. I don't know how to say this but...... I'm sorry!!" She said.

"Okay?" I said.

"Yes." She said.

"Which one?" I asked her.

"I don't. I don't understand!!" She said.

"I mean which one are you sorry for?" I asked her.

"Well....., I'm sorry for everything I did." She said. I smiled and scoff.

"Wait....., I...." I laughed.

"Oh my God. You're so funny!!" I said.

"Excuse me!!" I said. I went down to take some lemonade and two muffins and I went up.

"Uhmm, Beth ...." I heard James voice.

"Hey bro!!" I said smiling.

"Toby said you and Tiffany....."

"James....."

"... I know, just don't go too overboard!!" He said

"James....., I got this. Don't you trust me?" I asked him.

"Well, i do. But you don't get mad easily. But when you get mad. You go overboard. I'm not saying you should not talk to her but please. With maturity. Breathe in and breathe out when you think you're getting mad and......."

"James. I got this!!" I said and entered my room and sat down.

"So, uhmm, I'm listening!!" I told her. She smiled

"Oh, I was apologizing for....."

"Tiffany!!"

"Yeah!!"

"Do you know how much it hurts when someone you love dies?" I asked her. She nod.

"Yeah, my Aunt....."

"I don't need details!!" I said.

"What if I kill your sister....." I said. She looked at me with horror.

"And tell you sorry. I mean, you're not Supposed to be mad after that. I mean, since when you hurt someone, you just have to say sorry. And you aren't expected to be mad. Now look at my eyeballs Tiffany. You don't expect me to embrace you with open arms after what you did!!" I told her.

"Yes, and I'm sorry....

"Oh my God. I said i don't want to hear that. What does 'sorry' do? Yes yes. It is a way of showing remorse. I mean...." I put the muffin in my hand and dropped the glass and it broke.

"Just a practical here!!" I said.

"Hey glass, sorry I dropped you. I'm truly truly truly truly truly. Sorry!!" I said and I looked at her.

"Did it go to the way it was before?" I asked her.

"No!!"

"Didn't I say sorry?" I asked her.

"Yes you did!!" She said.

"You know. I'll have even forgiven you or even look past your errors as just immaturity or something else. But the day I....." I paused to release my anger. I ate muffins and smiled.

"But the day I saw you with Toby, and that you're dressed like a slut when you're supposed to be in thick clothes just because you want to impress Toby, oh my God. I wanted to kill you!! Maybe when I say sorry to you. You'll come back to life." I said and she became teary.

"I know I did bad. I know I hurt you. I didn't know I wasn't that in love with Kelvin and......"

"Oh my God!!" I said I stood up. I'm burning red in anger

"Maybe I've grown so soft. I mean, you know me at 8th grade, 9th grade, 10th grade. I don't give a fuck!!" I told her.

"I got Kelvin Fair and Square. I didn't run around looking for his attention. He was the one who flirted with me. And dated me. I didn't say cause I was popular, I could get any guy I want. I didn't say i even needed a boyfriend. He wooed me!! Let me tell you the truth. I never flirted with Kelvin. The first day I even saw Kelvin. Was at a ball and he was staring at me all night. The next day, we were partners. And when I saw you and Kelvin at the park, i went to say 'HI' I didn't need a boyfriend then. For fuck sake i just broke up with Chase." I said.

"That's one. I liked Kelvin, I liked his personality, but he became distant. And more to it. He cheated with you. With the same old you!!"

"That's two. And when you've taunted me for fucking THREE YEARS!!!..... I broke up with him just to see you another day flirting with my best friend. In what planet would you expect me to like you? To accept your fucking apology!!"

"You after years, just found out that you 'were'nt' in love with Kelvin' why didn't you figure that out earlier? Why are you begging me? Cause of Toby? Cause you think he'll accept you because you came to apologize. And Elizabeth is very nice. She'll accept and forgive right? I BROKE WITH KELVIN, I thought maybe, I was the one. Maybe Kelvin liked you more. Maybe you two could go out. I swear I prefer seeing you with Kelvin. Having some 'love in Tokyo' kind of stuff than to see you days later with Toby again!! And the worse thing is you could like come to me...., And say 'i'm sorry'." I said. I ate my muffin.

"You must be so so so crazy if you think I'm forgiving you!! Oh, and it's nice leaving Audroun. You had great decency doing that!! But ......, Remember Dani Dawson is my very good friend!!" I said. Ha!!

Just teasing her!! If i could rate my hatred for Dani, is with Tiffany. Dani is one spoilt proud brat who at her age owns a fashion company and a model herself. She's beautiful though. Well, she's Diamonds goddess since all of them in that school is not as pretty as Mellisa.

"Liz, please, I'm begging you. Please I'm begging......"

"Get out of my sight Tiffany!!" I said.

"Liz......"

"Later when I'm become mean to you, and you act like a goodie goodie. People start saying populars are bad. Populars are mean. Without knowing anything!!" I said.

Breathe liz. Breathe. I looked at her, and James popped In my head. What will James advice me to do? Forgive her? But........

Spirit James: you need to forgive her. She is crying.

Me: but you know what she did.

Spirit James: and she is remorse. Just let this pass.

Me: i can't.

Spirit James: I know you will do the right thing.

Then he disapeared. Urghhh!!

"Well, I, Elizabeth Nelson won't be mean to you. I just want you to stay at your lane. And I stay at mine. And you can date Toby. Since that's what all this is about!! Date him. I mean, I'm not his Mom!! But Tiffany. Hurt him. Break his heart and say you didn't know you don't like him like you thought you did since that's the new excuse in town!!" I told her, stood up and moved towards the door. I turned back.

"Wait!!" I said. I tore the sweater on her.

"Liz....."

"What? Pneumonia is real!!" I said. I dragged her to my closet and gave her a cardigan. And pop socks.

"If you want to be a bitch to others,  don't be a bitch to yourself!! It kills!! But then, I don't expect you to think like that!!" I said and I led her out.

"Thanks...."

"Don't. Please don't. I'm just helping a stupid girl realize wearing skimpy clothes won't attract a man!!" I said and left.

I went to the kitchen and took an apple. There someone entered and it was Ruby and Jayden. I shrug and poured water on my Apple.

"Hey guys!!" I said.

"Hey Liz!!" They chorused and i left eating my Apple and I saw everyone in the living room.

"So, what's up guys?" I asked them.

"Don't play games with us. What happened?" James asked.

"We just talked!!" I said

"What did you do?" James asked.

"Smarten her up!!" I said. Tiffany came down later with the cardigan i gave her and wore the socks.

"What happened to your sweater?" Toby asked Tiffany.

"Nothing. I just....." Tiffany started.

"I tore it!!" I said and sat on Toby's lap.

"Liz....." Toby purred.

"I wanted to give her a cardigan. So she won't die." I told him.

"So have you guys reconciled?" Jace whispered.

"We've talked about it!!" I whispered back.

"Oh. Thanks!!" He said and hugged me. I open my eyes and smirk at Tiffany. And her eyes fell.

"So, I'll be in the game room. Wait, did you win for me?" I asked Toby standing up.

"I was second place!!" He said.

"Do you think I can be beaten?" Cin asked.

"Well you can dear!!" James said and pecked her.

"Whatever!!"

"Rematch?" I asked.

"Last one is a rotten egg!!" Cin said.

"Nope. Last one is giving me 2% of shares!!" Toby yelled

"Shares?" We all asked.

"Yup. I heard Michael's given you shares?" Toby asked.

"Yup. And even if I did. I'm not giving you!!" Cin said.

"Cin, we can have a negotiation!!" Toby said.

Toby has a company, and I heard a 16 year old girl is catching up with him.

"Nope!!" Cin said

"Oh what's that?" Cin asked and we all turned.

"There's nothing ......"

"Cinnamon!!!" Toby yell.

----------------

  Girls night. We were chatting about everything until Mia sighed.

"Can we check what the guys are doing?" Mia asked.

"Yeah. I'm bored. But we can play games. I'm gonna beat you again!!" Cin said and picked up a joystick.

"Don't...."

"Can't hear yah. Headphones!!" She said.

So we ended up playing games. After that Mia said she was tired and went to sleep. Cin and i talked and talked and talked.

"Do you think he really has another girl?" I asked her.

"What if that girl is you?" She asked me.

"No. He made it clear." I replied her.

"That?"

"You know what? Forget it!!" I said.

"You know I don't understand you. Look at you. You got Simon and Ivy together. You got Mike to confess to Raini even though she said no. You made Jayden and Mia come together.  You made James and I come together. You also helped tons of people. But you yourself aren't helping yourself!!" Cin said

"Actually it's but you aren't....."

"Whatever. You understand me!!" She said. I sighed.

"Getting through him isn't that easy. There are more things about him that's hidden Cin!!" I told her.

"Iza, you once told me that  you don't like someone because you share secrets with them or like them because they have a very very dark past and you also have one too. And when you share your secrets. You help and fall in love. No. Love dosen't go that way!!" She said

"It was a speech I said in 9th grade." I said.

"Yeah. You love someone because of their personality. Their mistakes. Their imperfections. The fact that they make you smile. They make you go cloud 9. You think about them everyday. You tell them the truth when they're wrong and scold them. You share their memories with them and also make them happy!!" She said.

"And love them............ Not because of their beauty. But for the beauty behind that beauty." Sh said.

"The Beauty Inside!!" We said together.

"Exactly!!" She said. I smile and nod.

"Exactly."

------------------

  Present day!! My favorite day of the trip. I gathered my gifts on the table and we all sat round. And Ruby, got to open her gifts first. Thanksgiving gifts first.  From Cin, she got a big journal.

"What? You love writing!!" Cin said. Ruby smiled and opened Christmas. A big journal.

"More books for more stories!!" Cin cheered. Ruby shook her head and Mia's Thanksgiving. A beautiful make up kit. Whoo. Christmas.....

"It'll arrive before evenings over. I ordered it." Mia said.

"Okay!!" Ruby said. So that's her voice. She doesn't really speak much.

After a lot of gifts and Pizza's. Philip got one pizza though and he begged Cin vigorously.

"My turn!!" Jace said. He opened Thanksgivings and mine was missing.

"I'll give you later!!" I winked.

"Eww. Will I need earplugs tonight?" Philip asked. God!! We threw pillows at him.

"You don't have to!!" He said and i was taken back. Okay!! That hurts. He opened Christmas. Hunter have him a hat. Toby gave him a hoodie.

"What? You wear it like everytime!!" Toby said. We laughed at that. Mia gave him designer clothes and sneakers. Jonathan, oh. Jonathan's been quiet these days. It was a..... Letter? I'm curious. But whatever is in the letter, must be bad cause Jace turned pale. Inside Jonathan's gift was two boxes and the letter. He opened the first one and it was a painting of him being  shirtless in the sky.

"Whoa. Just like I pictured myself last night!!" Jace teased. Everyone giggled but I knew he wasn't okay. I might be mad at him but I'm worried. James gave him a football ball.

"Rugby?" He asked.

"Yeah. You're starting a club isn't?" James asked.

"Yeah but..... Whatever!!" He said. Cin gave him.... Books!!

"Awwn. I've always wanted these!!" Jace said. Hunter gave him a bracelet. Philip gave him a..... A pack of condom. Seriously?

"Philip Hamilton!!" Jace said.

"That's me!!" Philip said.

"I don't know you from anywhere but you are sure a handful!!" Jace said and Philip winked.

"That's my charm!!"

"Eww!!" Fiona said. Jace opened Ruby's. More books. Jayden, award?

"For winning me in assassin Creed. You must be honored. Worth thousands of dollars!!" Jayden said.

"Whoa. Cool!!" He said.

"Your's up Fiona!!" Jace winked her and opened her small box.

"Wow!!" He said.

"I know it's not that fancy but......"

"Are you kidding? I love it!!" Jace said and Fiona giggled. It's an alarm clock. And a wrist watch. So that's why she need money. For presents. And for Mine. He sighed and opened it. I hope he likes it.

"What's this?" He asked.

"If you can read!!" I said. He smiled.

"There's more!!" I said rolling my eyes. He found a fountain pen which i customized his name on it. And a chain that I wrote 💖J on. And a..... Audroun football team's coach's sweats.

"Elizabeth....."

"I don't know what to say!!" He said.

"Okay, stop making us feel like we didn't have good gifts!!" Cin said and we laughed.

"It's Liz turn!!" Mia said. I sighed and opened thanksgivings. Drawing set. Pouch, sneakers which were customized. C💖E💖M. You could guess. Cin's. And others, Jace also said he wasn't giving me mine too. James gave me a bracelet and wrote. 'beauty'. 

"Awwwn!!" I said.

"Why didn't you give me that?" Cin asked.

"I gave you a necklace!!" James said.

"You didn't write beauty!!" She said.

"I wrote J💖C!!" James said.

"Yeah, yeah. I love it baby!!" She said and kissed him.

"Okay, I need glasses!!" Philip said.

"Shut up!!" We all yelled.

Christmas!! Mia gave me a very beautiful bag. And she claimed it was very expensive. Hunter gave me a neck massager. Toby gave me new car. Philip gave me..... He called  a bakery shop to make a very very very big and large muffin.

"Whoa!!" I said. Fiona bought me a ticket to see Jb's concert. Wow!!

"Awwn!!" I said. James gave me a lake house in...... Dubai, Italy and Paris. Though I have one in Paris though. Cin gave me house.

"I'm meant to be friends with you guys forever!!" Fiona said.

"I know you'll come back to me!!" Philip said.

"Shut up!!"

Jonathan gave me huge teddy bear.

"Really?" Cin asked Jonathan.

"I know right? Check inside!!" Jonathan said. I opened it and there was 'bakery shop'

"You're giving me a bakery shop!!" I told him.

"Nope. Half shares!! Now you can eat all the muffins you want!!" Jonathan said.

"You know your Dad will kill you if he knew you're joking with his money." James said.

"Like he cares. I'm kinda thinking he cares for his sick patients than he cares about me!!" Jonathan grumbled.

"You wanted that bakery shop since you were 14!!" Mia said

"Yeah, so?" He asked.

"Jonathan, let's negotiate." Toby said.

"Nope!!" Jonathan said

"I can give you 5% out of my shares!!" I told Toby.

"Really ....."

"If........"

"I'll still be friends with Tiffany!!" Toby said.

"What's the deal with her anyway?" I asked him.

"We're just friends!!" He said.

"Anyways, I don't care about your friendship with that bitch. I meant if you give me 2% shares in your company!!" I told him.

"Yes, Liz. Thanks!!" Toby said. After gifts and all...... I opened Jace's. I sighed. It's a paper.

   Ride with me to world full of memories. Exactly, on the 31st of December!

"But....."

"Read the back!!" He said. I turned the paper.

       We're sneaking out. Ok?

I giggled and nod. Everyone started chatting and all and i felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned.

"Let's go!!" He whispered and I nod. He left. And I followed. We got to our room and he closed the door.

"So about my gift hnn?" He asked.

"I want it to be special!!" I said.

"Sex?" He asked.

"No!! It's a surprise!!" I told him.

"Nope. Tell me!!" He said.

"You'll know before the evening falls!!" I told him.

"And I was excited to use one of the condoms that idiot gave me!!" He said.

"Eww!!" I said.

"Ew?" He asked. And he gave me shocked eyes.

"Don't shout!!" I said.

"YOU'RE A VIRGIN!!" He yelled.

"Hey, keep it down there. Wait a minute, Liz's a virgin?" I heard a voice. Urgh!!!!!!!!

-----------------

     It's evening, Jace has kinda told everyone he was expecting a gift by sundown and he continued reading the book i gave him. Actually this is what the book is about. I didn't sleep on the 26th because if it. The cover was his picture. And I named the book Jace. And so, i started from October. The day we became partners. Till December 26. At the end of 26. I wrote.

  Their are more things to write about my days with Jace, their so many adventures. Road trips to write about Jace. And no matter where I might be, if I'm with Jace. I'll be happy 😃. Not prison though.😉.

When he finished reading it, we both burst out laughing. I, about my stupid cheesiness and him, about what I wrote maybe. But when he did. I ran to the kitchen and saw Ruby and Jayden talking.

"Hey Liza!!" Jayden said and threw me an apple.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Uhmm....." He gestured to the peanut butter he was taking from the top shelf.

"She wasn't tall enough and I wanted to have bread. So works out!!" He said.

"Kk. Help me take....."

"We got to go!!" Ruby said and dragged him with her and left. Why. Before I could turn, a hand was wrapped around my waist. I smiled. Jace!!

"Road trips. Adventures. Fun....." He said. I smiled.

"We're just getting started!!"

----------------

"I got it. I got it!!" Jace said and got to the door. I shrug and continued setting the table for dinner.

"Uhmm, Liz!!" Hunter said.

"Yeah......"

"Fiona returned the gift I gave her!!" He said.

"What did you give her?" I asked him.

"A gold necklace, bracelet and earrings!!" He said.

"That's too expensive to her. Fiona is a simple girl. She loves designers but prefer getting it herself." I said.

"So she dosen't like expensive things?" He asked.

"It depends. Fiona isn't like us. If you give me a gold stuff, I say okay. Cause I have a lot. But you can't give her gold. And she'll accept. Because she calls it something dignity!!" I told him.

"To her, the gold necklace is fucking expensive. You can't expect her to collect it from you." I told him.

"Okay. But can I give her something that isn't that cheap too. I don't know. What if i buy her a car?" He asked.

"Hunter!!" I said.

"Right. What about something like a......  Book?" I asked him.

"Fiona's not a nerd. She's not Jace or Jonathan or your brother!!" I told him.

"Toby has been slacking off lately." He muttered.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Maybe cause of his break up!!" He said

"Oh. Well, I'll talk to him. And about your gift problem Hunter. I think I know the perfect gift!!" I said.

"Really?" He asked and I nod. I whispered to him and and he smiled.

"I can get that done!!" He said.

"Great. And now that you've been a great boy and helped me set the table. You can leave!!" I said.

"Okay!!" He said and turned.

"Hunter....." I called.

"Yep!" He said popping the 'p'.

"Take a seat!!" I said. He smiled and sat.

"What's the p?" He asked.

"Why are you so..... I don't know....."

"Jerky? Stubborn? When I'm not like that in the inside? Many people have been asking me that." He said.

"Well, I want to know!!" I told him.

"Elizabeth, I'm g......"

"Gay? That's awesome......" I asked.

"Nope. I wanted to say I'm glad you asked." He said.

"Okay........" I said.

"No one....., No one notices me. I'm irrelevant, I'm too gentle. No one cares. It's either Toby or Stephanie. People either forget my name or forget who I am!!" He said.

"Besides, I have no friends. So I spend all day either playing grumpy after assignments and all and try to play with Stephanie, but she prefers Toby." He said.

"Wow.  I never ever knew you felt like that." I said.

"You only knew me because I'm Toby's brother and you guys were crushing on each other in middle school." He said

"First, I had a boyfriend. Second. Maybe you're right. Maybe I knew you because you're Toby's brother. But now, I can be your friend!!" I told him.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah. Okay, now tell me why you don't have friends?" I asked him.

"Being a freshman in Diamond is a terrible phase. And everyone's struggling not to get picked on. One day Kylie threw eggs at me and no one wanted to be my friend." He said. That piece of.....

"She did that? Oh my God!! What did Toby do?" I asked him.

"Told me sorry and told Kylie to stop!! But didn't stop people calling me 'eggboy'." He said.

"First of all. That's a very stupid name. Second of all, that was a little bit nice of Toby. But he should've stopped that. For God's sake. Toby rules Diamond with Stephen!!" I said.

"I know right." He said

"Don't worry Hunter. One day, I'll step into Diamond and....."

"No. I don't want that. I want someone to be my friend with knowing I'm eggboy. I don't want them to be friends with me because I have a hot friend who can back me up!! I want to have a friend who can say hi and talk to me openly knowing I was picked on." He said.

"I understand Hunter. But life, again dosen't exactly work that way!!" I told him.

"I know. That's why I've been on my own." He said.

"Did Philip call you eggboy?" I asked him. Something he will say. Hunter laughed.

"Philip's not that bad!! He's a very great kid. He's just playful and chessy, that's all!! One day, he came after transferring to Audroun, to see Stephen in the hallway. And he said hi to me!!" He said.

"And he has been talking to you ever since Christmas?" I asked him.

"Yeah!! He's kinda my friend now!!" He told me.

"Why don't you just be who you are Hunter. Don't change because life wasn't fair with you!!  I'll always say this, you don't let what life gives you affects you. Instead, you make an effect on what it gives!! You're handsome, tall, funny....." He smiled.

"Look at that smile. Keep giving those to Fiona, she'll melt!!" I said and his cheeks became red.

"You're a Kingston Hunter. Toby's just being greedy, his company's enough to make you a rich guy. Not to talk of your parents. YOU ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THEY ARE. Who are they? Is it that school that they are as ugly a fuck?" I asked him and we both laughed.

"You can do it Hunter!!" I told him. He smiled and nod.

"Thanks Liz!!" He said and hugged me.

"Anytime Hunt. Any....."

"Liz. You have a package!!" I heard Jonathan yell.

"Oops. I gotta go!!" I said. He pulled away and I stood up and.....

Wait. A. Minute. I turned.

"You think I'm hot?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes and said.

"The post man is waiting!!" He told me. I smiled and left.

----------------

  After dinner, we were all watching an Indian movie. And when it finished, we sat round talking about random stuff. Then after some time, I checked the time. In 5..... 4...... 3...... 2.......

"Happy Thanksgiving!!" I yelled at Jace and a balloon full of tiny ribbons. And I couldn't carry it.

"Uhmm..... Help me!!" I said. Jonathan helped me carry the the frame to Jace.

"Everyone, please can you ......"

"Sure ......."

"Totally!!" They said and left.

"I know you're hiding by the stairs!!" I said and they groaned. 

"What's the frame about?" He asked me.

"Open it!!" I told him. He opened it and he was...... His face was emotionless.

"How did you...."

"I remembered when it was Thanksgiving in LA and you asked what was my gift? I was dumb. I've been thinking about what to give you.... But I wasn't sure of what to give you. So when I met Aunt Imelda, and the pictures. I drew this." I said. I drew small Jace, Small Layla, Jack, Aunt Imelda, Wenda and Ethan since he's more like family!!

"Elizabeth. I........ I don't....." He pulled me into a kiss.

"Oh my God. I love your mother though I don't know her!! I love her for giving birth to a pretty girl like you. Intelligent, and....." He hugged me.

"Sweet!!" He completed.

"But why did you say I didn't need to give you a gift?" I asked him.

"Don't want to sound chessy but if you didn't give me a gift. You beside me is enough." He said. I smiled.

"Thanks!!" I said.

"Now I'm jealous." I heard Cin's voice.

"Now, to your Thanksgiving gift....." He said and whistled. I heard footsteps, but not of a human being. I looked down. Oh My God!!!

"The puppy I wanted at the shelter!!!" I yelled.

"Yup!!" He said.

"Awwn. I love it. Thank you!!" I said and hugged him. I carried him.

"I'm gonna name him Honey!!" I said.

"Nice name. Thought you'll name it Muffin!!" He said. I giggled and hugged him again.

"He's so cute!!" I said.

"Oh. Sooooo cute!!" I said.

"Yup!! You also need to train it!!" He said.

"Awwn. Jace. Thank you. I've always wanted one!!" I said.

"You can come out now!!" I yelled.

"Awwwwn. Is that a puppppppy?!?!?!" Mia yelled as she jumped.

"Nope. It's a lion!!" Cin said sarcastically.

"Shut up!!"

--------------------

  It's on the 30th. Almost new year. Jace and I went to the playground he used to go to. We watched a soccer match. And Ethan joined us when we wanted to eat lunch. We ate lunch and Jace took me to a mall. Told me to wear black. I picked black tight leggings. Navy blue short skirt, a top. A shirt and a grey sweater and black coat. Navy blue beanie. And black knee boots. 

"I said black!!" He said.

"It's still a little bit black!!" I said.

We stopped by a flower shop and bought flowers. I bought flowers too. I followed them and we got to a cementry. Oh my God. We got down and the three of us were going and Jace turned.

"Jace...."

"I don't want to go in there!!" He said.

"One day you will have to accept it!!" Ethan said. Jace grumbled and cursed under his breath as he reached to his coat and pulled out a cigarette.

"A minute!!" He said and left. Three minutes later, he came back. He started walking. Just walking. I followed him and he abruptly stopped. He turned right and walked on the grasses. I followed, Ethan at my back. The heels of my boots sounding. And Jace stopped by a grave. He bent and I could see the sadness in his eyes. He looked at me, his eyes was watery.

"That's she...." He said. I turned. I gasped. Oh my God!! It wrote.

   ' Layla Hamilton' Born September 1 2000- December 25  2011.
   She was a very nice girl.

I felt pain too. If she was born 2000. That means, she was Jace's TWIN!!

"That's Layla." He said, his voice cracking.

"Jace....."

"She wanted to have a nice Christmas that year. Her dress was ready, her shoes was tidy up. She planned to have a party. To take a lot of pictures of us. And Jack. And Ethan!!" Jace said and hugged me crying.

"Jace!!" I said patting his back.

"Jason." Ethan called.

"Yeah!!" Jace said. Ethan came to his back too and patted him.

"It's okay!!"

  After seeing his sister that afternoon, I had plenty questions. But he wouldn't answer. His only reply was when the time comes. I was mad at first. But he gave me those puppy eyes and told me Honey was falling. So I had to leave. Besides, he was going through a hard time. That night, I cuddled close to him.

"Jace....." I said.

"Hnn....."

"What killed her?" I asked him.

"A wicked monster called Death." He said and kissed my neck. Then stroke my hair.

"You know that's not the answer!!" I said.

"Is it?" He asked.

"I knew you won't leave me alone  after that." He said. I turned to face him.

"Yes. I'm curious!!" I said started playing with his chain I gave him. It's now I realize, he had a locket. I always saw the dog tags. But not the locket.

"What's this?" I asked him.

"Stuff!!" He said and kissed me. I pulled away.

"Jace, I'm your friend." I said.

"I want to help you. I want to be there for you!!" I said.

"You already are!! I snorted on your designers!!" He said.

"I don't care about designers Jace. I care about you." I told him.

"Well, I'm not ready." He said.

"But you said you're going to a new beginning!!" I said

"Yeah. New beginnings with new year. You're my new beginning. Others are my new beginnings!!" He said.

"Cin, Mia, James, Jayden, Jonathan. Tobias, And the rest." He said.

"Elizabeth, I want you to sleep and give me some space!!" He said

"I would!!" I said. And took muffin with me.

"Where are you going with your giant teddy?" He asked.

"Giving you some space." I said and got to the door.

"You know that's not what I meant......" I closed the door and I heard gasps. Who the.... I switched on the lights.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me!!" I heard a voice. Oh, Ruby.

"I was thirsty!!" She said.

"Okay!!" I said and entered Cin's room.

"Hey guys!!" I said. Silence.

"Hi!!" I said. Silence.

"I know you guys are not sleeping!!" I yelled and the both sat up.

"Why? You and Jace had had your time!" Cin said.

"What's the p?" James asked.

"I need some with Cin!!" I said.

"So....."

"Can you sleep with Jace?" I asked him.

"Fine. But because you asked." He said. He kissed Cin. And he left.

"C'here!!" Cin said. I smiled as I got into the covers with her.

"Nice PJ!!" She said.

"I know right!!" I said. Cuddled Muffin and slept.
