used to talk to him much before either. In my entire life he was the first person I wanted to keep distance from. Slowly behind me Sherry caught up and he stopped beside me catching his breath and half bending down his hands being on his waist. I assumed he had a small cramp from that entire fast running. He looked up at Logan with a surprise on his face as well as mine.

“Shern Smith, what a pleasant surprise to see you here.” Logan called out him as I looked at Logan in such confusion. How did Logan know Sherry?
“Chasing girls I’m assume.” A voice came from the side as a tall girl walked out through the trees to our right.
“Ah, Abigail you are here too.” Sherry spoke out with a side smile.
“And you must be Lillian Marwick.” She came to me holding her hand out expecting a handshake.
“Lilly, everyone call me Lilly.” I managed to take out.
“Well everyone call me Abi.” She told me.
“Good, I guess.”
“Yes, yes it is.” She looked at me very deeply and then turned her face to Logan.
“You three know each other?” I asked in confusion.
“We go quite back, don’t we Sherry?” Logan spoke out.
“Long time hadn’t seen you my buddy!” Sherry spoke out in a humour.
“Let’s all just go back to the hotel, I'm sure we all have to meet someone.” Logan demands as we all agree at start walking back to the hotel.

I held onto Sherry's arm as we walked feeling a little nervous. He felt like a really good friend now. Being with him I felt a little safe. Being with him I felt a little calm. It felt insane but good at the same time.

Remember when we were together, remember when we were friends? You were my protector and I was your happiness. You were the one I told everything to and I always tried to take things out of you. You were the one I trusted the most, I was the one you would run to, no matter how many miles away you were. You were the one that always kept a smile on my face and listened to all issues I've ever faced. You were the one that supported me. You are the one that helped me. You are the one who truly knew me. You are the one who always somehow understood me. You are the one who assured me no matter whatever happens you’ll be there for me. You are the reason for my old happiness. You are the one I could be angry with but know I would come back to you. You are the one that took me for who I was. You were the one who tolerated my stubbornness, my randomness, my stupidity, my weirdness, my anger, me. You are the one who loved me for how I was. You were the one that used to take me out of my confusion...
Chapter Six

...So tell me this, why aren't you the one you were first? Because you were indeed the one that was my best friend. You are the one I always rely on. You are the one I cannot live without. You are the one that no one can replace. You are the one who knows my fears. Then why are you being the one that’s slowly leaving me alone knowing my fear?

“Look who we found when searching for dear Lillian.” Abi spoke out when we reached to on of the hotel rooms, having Lionel already standing near the big window in the room.
Sherry looks up at Lionel and with a smile on his face he goes towards him greet him, “Lionel my buddy!”
“Sherry, we found you quicker than last time.” Lionel spoke out to him, me standing in the back still in confusion.
“Lionel?” I looked up at him in such happiness and take a step forward to go and hug him as Logan took a strong grip onto my arm and stopped me from going forward.
“Logan let go of her.” Lionel demanded.
“No, I think I'm going to hold onto her. I don’t want her getting drunk and getting lost again.” Logan declined what Lionel demanded.
“Let go of her Logan, let her go and see her friends.” Lionel demanded again.
“No” Logan said back to him. I stood there whilst the two best friends communicated.
“Guys stop it; I'll take Lilly to her friends. You two and Sherry have a little talk here.” Abi breaks the tension apart and grabs onto me taking me out of the room.

As much as it was weird with Logan it felt even more weird with Abigail. My character was starting to change. It was like the girl who would fit in with everyone and would be ok with everyone was now finding it hard to be comfortable with certain people. What I was finding weird to believe was how did Lionel and Logan know Sherry. Even if they knew each other why didn't Sherry tell me the night before when I was discussing about them to him. What kept him quite from telling me he knew them? We reached to Kat’s room assuming all of them would be in there. I walked in not expecting what I saw there.

The room was in such a mess. Everything either fully or half broken. My eyes looked around the room searching for all of them three but my eyes caught onto no one. Worrying I said to Abi “they all must be in Mass and Max’s room. I’ll go there.” As soon as I turned around a sound of movement and a moan came from somewhere in the room. I looked closely as I saw a movement from the duvet that was spread on the floor. In a fear of moment I slowly walked towards it Abi slowly walking behind me seeming very curious. I pushed my hand forward slowly to move the duvet to the side as a revulsion rushed in front of me as I saw something so horrific. Something I never imagined seeing.

“Kat!” I screamed out as I saw my sister half-dead half-alive covered with blood lying on the floor taking her last breaths.
“Lilly, she came.” Kat whispered out her voicing breaking in between. My eyes all a sudden became so blurry and watery that I couldn't even look at Kat properly as she continued to speak, “she came and asked for you. She asked for you Lionel and Logan.”
“Who was she?” Abi asked inquiring whilst I froze holding my sister within my arms my eyes being blurry.
“I don’t know, we didn’t tell her therefore she shot Max and she got me. I can’t believe I'm still alive.” She said laughing at the last bit. Abi left us and ran off in search of this stranger. I sat there crying as her blood kept pouring out and staining onto my clothes. She forced her right hand up to my face and tried to wipe away my tears. She didn’t realise that wiping my tears wouldn’t get rid of my pain. It wouldn’t change the fact that she was now dying in my arms. She closed her eyes and spoke again, “Mass ran after her, don’t lose him. He loves you a lot Lillian. He’s always loved you. Everyone saw it, everyone except you. I saw that love in your eyes for Lionel but don’t forget that Mass has been there for you when you couldn't even hold yourself up. Mason loves you a lot.” I didn't reply to what she just told me. Instead I cried even more in a thought that what if somewhere in this place that girl that killed my sister and Max had now killed my best friend.

“Lilly?” Kat whispered in my ear whilst opening her eyes slowly.
“Yes Kat?” I answered.
“I love you.”
“I love you more.”
“Not possible” Katherine shut her eyes and stopped talking. I could feel that I was losing her now. Her heartbeat was stopping and her body was becoming colder. I hugged her tightly against me wishing she would magically come back to me but my hopes were useless. She was gone forever.

I let her down slowly as I rushed out of the room in search for Mass. What if the girl did something to him? Why was this person looking for me? Why was she in search for the other three guys? Who actually are they? My mind was filled up with questions not knowing who to actually go and question.

I walked off so furiously; it was like a revenge that I needed to get back. She made me loose my sister, my other half. I would make her loose her life! But before I could do anything I had to get a few answers to get and the only people I could get my answers were from Lionel, Logan and Sherry.

Angrily I walked towards Lionel's room. Anger in my eyes and determined for revenge in my mind, I aggressively walked into the room. Everything was broken into pieces here too. Had that girl come here and tried to kill them as well. I slowly walked around his room in search for any dead bodies on the floor hoping there was nothing to see, as I wouldn't be able to cope with another death. My back facing the window I looked around and all a sudden the window behind me breaks apart as two guys fall through it and land in front of me as I looked down to them. Sherry and Logan.

Not realising me being there, they push me out of the way as I hit my arm against the brick wall. Both bleeding from their faces not caring about anything aggressive fight against each other. Sherry punches Logan hard across the face as Logan falls back hurting his back against the corner of the bed as he falls he kicks Sherry in the stomach as he falls down with him. Not being able to stand up and fight they forcefully fight being on the floor. Being at times over and under each other, tangling their legs within each other and trying to get a good control of each other. Bleeding away from almost every area on their bodies they wouldn’t give up. I didn’t know why they were fighting by they kept fighting non-stop not giving up. A few minutes later Lionel entered recognising me standing in the corner holding onto my arm.

He ran across the room and grabbed onto me taking me out of the room leaving Logan and Sherry behind to fight or kill each other to death.
“Let go of me Lionel!” I ordered him, as he didn't listen to whatever I was telling him. I kept yelling to him and he kept ignoring what I was saying, just dragging me out with him. “Lionel, they will both kill each other to death! Go stop them!” I yelled to him yet
