Aly's POV

Beep...beep...beep...beep. The sounds of the monitor broke me from my sleep, I looked up to see Lyndsey. Her pale skin, her chest lightly lifting up and down from taking in oxygen. My eyes we're bloodshot, I've been wearing the same clothes for about 3 days straight. My diet has been mostly of diet Pepsi and pretzels. Max has been visiting often but not staying long. I'm in a state where I just need to be alone. Lyndsey lay unconscious in front of me. The bullet, hit her shoulder and she had collapsed from pain. I honestly ha thought I had lost her. Lyndsey Bloom. I used to be her best friend. We were inseparable, the twosome, never without the other. It kills me to think it could have been gone with the pull of the trigger. I mean I know why she hates me. The way she looks at me gives it away. She always was bad at hiding her emotions.

*flashback*

"Al!" Lyndsey my bestest buddy in the whole wide world bounded up to me with her arms open. Her bright blue eyes were shinning with happiness. I couldn't help but give her a big hug.
"What's up Lynds?" I asked smiling at my best friend.
"Guess what!!" She shouted in my ear jumping up and down. I giggled at her excitement and that just made her jump up and down even more.
"What?" I asked laughing along with her.
"I'm so very deeply in love with Joey Kores!" She shouted, laughing hysterically. I smiled, not knowing the next day would be the end of our friendship.
We sat in the lunchroom eating lunch with the rest of our 8th grade class when Joey Kores stood up on his table and got everyone's attention. He shouted at the top of his lungs these four words.
"I love you Aly!" His eyes were staring straight into mine. I stopped and looked at Lyndsey. Her face went from shocked, to sad to mad. Her eyes turned an icey cold blue and I couldn't help but run after her as she tried to exit the lunch room.
"Lynds! Lyndsey!!"I screamed after her.
"Shut up! You can have Joey! You backstabbing bitch! You broke my heart!"

*flashback over*

The memory brought tears to my eyes and I closed them, letting the years slip down my face. I caused her this pain. I did it again. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up. He whispered to me.
"It's going to be okay." he said this while standing over me with a look in his face that was filled with so much sadness. He helped me out of the hospital room and took me to his car where he promptly put me in the front seat. He sat down next to me and I started to cry into his shoulder. We just sat there for a long time. Sitting while I sobbed into his shoulder until my tears turned to a silent sleep.

Max's POV

I went to Lyndsey's house. I don't know why. Don't ask me because I sure as hell don't know why. I went up to her mom. She was sitting on their cloud white couch sobbing into tissue, dressed in entirely black. I asked her one thing, I needed to know the answer to.
"Why does Lyndsey hate Aly? I know they were friends a whole back...so why do they hate each other?" I asked, needing to know the answer. Her mom sniffled the recalled the story to me. When she finished I was surprised to hear it was all because of some Joey Kores. It shocked me. That's what changed Lyndsey? I got up and thanked Mrs.Bloom. I got in my car and drove back to the hospital. I walked into Lyndsey's room to see Aly silently crying, tears streaming down her face. I put a hand on her shoulder, and she slowly turned to look at me.
"It's going to be okay." I don't really know why I said it but it sounded right. I led Aly to my car and her head fell on my shoulder and burst into tears. I stroked her lightly until she fell into a silent sleep.
