The day November 7, 2016 is when the world stopped for us. Our friend Tanya Gibson was murdered. How did this happen? Let me tell the story. August 19, 2016. Sitting in the lunch room waiting on my friends. I was 16 and a junior in high school. My birthday wasn't till October, the 22nd to be exact. I also had the best group of friends anyone could ask. It was Me I normally like to be to myself. Love to smoke and just vibe out. I had some issues not everyone knew about until later. There was Lyle, 17 and sometimes he acted too gay to function but we loved him. Oh and Alec was his boyfriend. He was super quiet but opened up to us of all people. He was like our protector. He was 19 already out of high school. There was Judith she was 17. A real popular girl everyone knew her but she was bitchy like the one's in movies. So we thought. Summer who is 18 and Judith's girlfriend. A secret only we knew. Then there was Tanya. Beautiful. 17 years old and full of light. Why would anyone hurt her.

Tanya: Y/n Y/n Y/nnnn!!

I laughed

Y/n: yes Tanya
Tanya: aren't you excited
Y/n: For?
Tanya: For?! Homecoming silly
Y/n: Is today the day ughh
Tanya: Today is the day we all go shopping for our perfect dresses and suits
Y/n: It's only homecoming, not prom
Tanya: and?? wait you don't have a date
Y/n: no I don't- wait you don't either
Tanya: actually as of today Leon asked me

Leon running back of the school football. Also known hoe seemed like he was using her because she was pretty. She was so excited but I was never one to hold my feelings back

Y/n: what if he's using you
Tanya: he's not, I promise
Y/n: I don't trust him
Tanya: you don't trust anyone
Y/n: to much trust gets you hurt
Lyle: Ladies, oh no why is she so smiley
Y/n: Leon asked her out
Lyle: Leon Porter?? The known hoe
Y/n: Thank You
Tanya: Guys stop it, let's focus on y/n and how she doesn't have a date
Lyle: You don't have a date??
Judith: Who doesn't have a date??
Tanya: Y/n
Y/n: Why is this such a big deal
Judith: Because you're the only one without date

The lunch doors bust open. In walks in Nicholas frost. Angry as always, they say he's a bad kid. Coming from a jail just 3 months ago. There was something about him. I couldn't keep my eyes away from. It was like I was drawn to him more and more. I hear snaps

Tanya: Hello??
Y/n: Yeah?
Tanya: where'd you go
Y/n: sorry thinking
Tanya: look I have to go but see you all at 3
Judith: me as well but see you at 3

They both walk off and I was left with Lyle

Lyle: I know that look
Y/n: What look?
Lyle: You look at frost like he some Falling Angel
Y/n: I don't know what you're talking about
Lyle: look watch him, he's bad news worse then Leon

He kisses my forehead and gets up

Lyle: see you at 3 and don't forget the party tonight
Y/n: I won't
Lyle: I'll text the group chat everything

He leaves, hear the bell which my last bell so I could go home. Definitely gives me time to smoke before this dress shopping shit. I get up from the table and walk to the parking lot to my car. As I'm walking I run into someone

Y/n: Shit sorry
Nicholas: Damn pay attention
Y/n: You're the one walking backward

All the football players are in-front of me

Leon: Hey I know you, your Tanya friend
Y/n: Yup
Leon: Going to the party tonight
Y/n: It is my best friends Party dickhead
Leon: You a little Spicy thing
Nicholas: man shut up
Leon: What she is, she's hot in a weird way
Y/n: Wanna know what else is hot
Leon: Yeah?
Y/n: Come closer

He walks closer and I knee him in the dick, all his friends started laughing

Y/n: now move before I run you motherfuckers over

They all run before they do I take a look at Nicholas who is smirking. I hop in my car then drive off home. Blasting music the whole way. When I get home nobody was there. Best moment to smoke. I can't hear my mom yell about it. I run upstairs and grabbed my bong. Blast the music as loud as I can and started smoke. I fell back on the bed which I thought it was 5 minutes. My phone rings and I answered

Y/n: Hello
Tanya: where are you?? Everyone is on there way and we waiting on a ETA

I jump up

Y/n: Shit I'm on my way

I hung up and grabbed my shit running out the house and into the car. I finally made it to the dress store.

Tanya: We've been waiting
Y/n: You know I'm fashionable late

I wink at her and everyone laughed

Lyle: Come on so ready to look cute
Judith: aren't you always

We laughed, we walked into the store and Lyle takes my hand.

Lyle: look at these
Y/n: oh no these are to flashy
Lyle: aren't we going for flashy
Y/n: no simple and cute but these boobs should look nice

We laughed

Tanya: GUYS!!

We run over

Tanya: This is the dress
Judith: it's beautiful
Bobbie: and it's mine

She try's to take it from her but I move in her way

Lyle: beat it Bobbie

Bobbie, has been in at heads with Tanya for years. I hate her, shit we all do. Tanya was always so nice to her though.

Tanya: I invited you to my party the least you can do it let me have the dress
Bobbie: I'm only going cause of Leon
Tanya: What about him
Lyle: Watch you're words
Bobbie: Watch yours rainbow
Tanya: GUYS!
Y/n: what do you want with Leon
Bobbie: A date to homecoming
Y/n: he's going with Tanya

She laughed

Bobbie: that will never work
Y/n: my fist to your face will though
Bobbie: fine keep it

She walked out and leaves

Lyle: ouu I hate her
Y/n: you and me both
Tanya: Dumb bitch
Judith: Tanya!
Tanya: Fuck her, I'm too nice for this shit
Y/n: hmm
Lyle: You just noticed?

We laughed

Tanya: Fuck you
Y/n: what position?

I shake my butt

Tanya: Doggy

She grinds against me

Judith: You sure your not Bi Tanya
Tanya: positive
Y/n: Well my pansexual ass says another wise
Tanya: shut up

Tanya was also the only straight one of the group. She never acted like it. We all buy out outfits and go home. I had to get ready for the party. My mom was home but sleeping. I'm sure she would wake up soon. I went to my room and started getting ready. I wore this little black dress, my everything looked nice in this. Lyle was picking me up because he wasn't drinking tonight. I walked downstairs almost out the door.

Mom: um hello
Y/n: yes mom?
Mom: leaving without saying by
Y/n: you do it all the time
Mom: well lemme look at you

I do a little spin

Mom: alright, don't do anything I wouldn't
Y/n: I'm not gonna do anything you would
Mom: hush

I walk out the door and Into the car

Lyle: what did she say
Y/n: nothing important come on let's turn up

We drive to Tanya's house, it was already lit everyone was having a good time. So I thought. I saw Tanya and hugged her

Y/n: look at you sexy ass
Tanya: thank you thank you
Y/n: enjoying yourself
Tanya: hell yeah

Tanya's parents used to let her have these monthly parties. They were so much fun. They had money and shit who doesn't love to party in a big ass house once a month.

Lyle: well Alec is over there so I'll see y'all
Y/n: bye
Tanya: bye and Leon is over there so you know where I will be
Y/n: yeah yeah

I walked to her kitchen for a drink

Nicholas: hey

I turn around

Y/n: hey
Nicholas: you know what you did to Leon was deserved
Y/n: I know
Nicholas: why you so salty with me? Is it because of what you herd
Y/n: I don't care to here shit from people about people
Nicholas: you don't?
Y/n: rather hear it from you?

He goes quiet

Y/n: I see you took me as a fuck toy
Nicholas: I'm not like that
Y/n: then what are you
Nicholas: you don't wanna know

I grabbed his hand and take him to the room, I close the door

Nicholas: look you're beautiful but I don't wanna fuck
Y/n: oh you think I'm beautiful?
Nicholas: I mean hell yeah
Y/n: well keep it in your pants because I don't wanna fuck
Nicholas: oh then why are we in here
Y/n: you said I don't wanna know about you, but I do

He talked to me for hours. He has no family, he went to jail for protecting his friend for some trying to rape of her. He never said who the friend was but it seems like he's still around. He is angry because he is hurting. I hugged him and he cried to me. I never felt a connection with anyone like this at all. It's like I already knew him. Like we already knew each other. I didn't know in the moment this would be a hell of a relationship. I remember the look in his eyes. I remember the way he kissed me that night. I ran out the room before it can go farther but then this is when I see Tanya screaming.

Tanya: PARTY OVER, GET OUT NOW
Y/n: what's going on
Lyle: I don't know she grabbed a drink looking sad, and started yelling at everyone

I walked up to her

Tanya: get out
Y/n: what's wrong?
Tanya: party is over, leave I'll see you at school
Lyle: I don't think you should be alone right now

She started throwing things at us and we run before we get hurt

Y/n: what the hell just happened
Lyle: I have no idea
