Sophia:

Dear Diary,

I know I'm too old to be having one of these so I think I'ma call you a journal instead. It's been about a week since the whole incident and everyone is still a bit shook up.. Langston hasn't been talking to me and I don't know why.

Is it because I'm related to a psycho? I was scared if that was the case... we barely saw each other. He stayed in the studio 24/7 and we only ran into each other when we both went to see Day day in the hospital who was still in a coma. We'd exchange a few words but, that was about it. I guess he was still fighting with the fact his best friend, whom he'd known since middle school, was in a coma. I felt bad at the fact I didn't know my sister was like this.. I knew for sure now, we'd never be together because of that particular reason.

I closed my journal and slid it back into my crossover hobo bag and grabbed my coffee. I was told by the nurse it was Okay for me to see Day day now. As soon as I got up, I bumped into Langston spilling my steaming coffee all over his leather varsity jacket.

Oops.

"Oh my god..I'm so sorry" I say sighing.

He looks at me with anger and shakes his head, "Damn Sophie watch where you're going next time, you fucked up my varsity jacket!"

I scoffed, "Oh, I'm sorry there sir.. I mean it's leather. I'm sure you can CLEAN it OFF." I walked away and headed towards Day days room.

He followed behind, " I have no time for your smart ass remarks Sophia, chill with that Bro."

I stop and hold my hand up to his chest causing him to stop. "Wait."

He sighs, "What do you want?"

"Why are you so angry with me?" I begin to feel tears fill in my eyes, " I don't get what I've done to hurt you.. is this because my sister hurt Dashawn?" I turn his face towards me, "Is it?!"

He grabs my hand, "Don't put your hands on me ." He drops my hand and walks away.

I follow him into the room and close it shut behind me, "Answer the question Langston Alexander Higgins" I feel my blood rising as I yell... I was tired of feeling like the bad guy here. It wasn't my fault he dated my sister and she did that to him...

to us.

"Damn it, Sophia let it go!" He sits down next to day day and cuffs his hands together in a prayer form. " Just give me some fucking space...I know it wasn't your fault about your stupid sister." He sighs, "I'm sorry... you're not the only one I've been acting an ass to, or ignoring."

I look at him as he tells me to come here, "When I get like this, it's best to leave me alone."

The thing is, I didn't wanna leave him alone... We didn't come all this way for nothing. If I have to fight for him, then I'ma do it. I want him to trust me. I grab his hand and he pulls me into his lap and starts sobbing in my wool Shaw. I rub his back and whisper everything's going to be alright as he holds me tight. I was so afraid of letting him go... even though he wasn't mine yet.

Skye:

I laid in the reclining chair next to Julian's hospital bed hoping he'd wake up soon... When the gun went off, I thought she had hit me but instead, she had aimed for him. I screamed as he fell into the table and collapsed into it. I seriously thought he was gone.. everything I ever wanted...and finally found.. just GONE. I never got a chance to get Rae back because she had already fled the scene. After we arrived to the hospital, I got news the cops had found her and put her into a mental hospital.. right along side with Sophia's sister, Keilani. I held Julian's hand tight and cried the whole night through.. praying.. hoping, and wishing he'd get better soon. She shot him in the head close to his brain but, not close enough. It put him into a miner coma which he'd wake up soon from. The great news was, he'd be okay when he woke up.. but it'd take him a day or two to remember everything that happened. I was so thankful for him, God blessed me with a good man and I wasn't about to lose him. I felt myself fall instantly in love with him.
