They say 'bad things happen for a reason',
But the whole wide world can't stop the bleeding.

Three months later, Lily's phone buzzed as she scrolled through Tumblr. Someone was trying to call her. She clicked right in without bothering to look at the caller ID. "Lilianna." "Mr. Gray?" "Yes. Pax isn't picking up her phone. Both of you need to come quick. It's an emergency!"

The girls pulled up to Pax's mom's house. "You say Tanner called you? Tanner Gray?" Lily nodded. "He said it was urgent." The girls burst into the house, to hear Pikachu crying and to see Tanner standing just outside their bedroom. "She's not breathing."
