Oh and JC, the reason Nick does not seem like a player, is because I never got a chance to show that side of him.
I meant for him to be single for a bit longer, but then the Lei made him stay sweet, if there was a break up again, and he was able to go out and junk you would see it.

*I've been a little busy, I shouldn't have taken so many AP classes in my senior year.*
When I got to the funeral Maria ran to me and I took her into my arms. We took our seats and the service began. I didn't know May that well, but the thought of her life ending so soon sickened me, I all of a sudden was overwhelmed by the fact that my brother was dead. He hadn't had a funeral he was burned in stuck in a jar. I held back my tears. I had to remain strong for Maria. I could break down later. When all the speeches and music and slide shows were over everyone went lined up and added a rose to the top of May's closed casket. Once I added mine I walked off behind a tree. Maria was still by the casket.
I quickly dialed the number, holding back my emotions as beast as I could.
"Tracey, can you bring my daughter up. I really need to see her now." I was unable to keep my voice from cracking."
"Why what's wrong," she asked.
"Mortality," I said.
"Well, I'm babysitting her now, so I can come up. She'll be happy to see her daddy. Chad I know you well enough to know that you aren't ok. What happened."
"Someone just died here, and I've just became aware of how fleeting life is. Life is too short for me not to spend time with my daughter."
"Morbid much." She said.
"So are you coming,"
"Fine, I'll come, but you know what the baby psychologist said."
"Yes I know when we're together in front of her we have to act like a happy family. Having teen parents is confusing enough. Blah Blah Blah.
"I'm just saying, we should meet outside of your school. I wouldn't want to tread on you're relationship with that girl Maria."
"I can't, like I said someone died here. All students are being held on campus for now. You have to come here.
"Fine, I'll be there in like thirty minutes."

Having Mike come was bad enough, but on today of all days, that was just to bad. I went up at one point, and said a few words, trying to get a few laughs, but only a few chuckles came through the sobs. after that I put my rose on and went back to Lei's room with her.
"Hey I didn't know this was your room Nick," I heard Mike say as he lugged a suitcase in.
"It isn't," this Lei's room," I told him.
"That's strange, because this is supposed to be my room to," he said handing me his card.
"You go talk to guidance then," I told him and sat back down with Lei.
"Okay," Mike said and left.
"I hope they can fix it," Lei said, "I don't think I can handle another you, let alone having to live with one."

Mike~~
"Yeah, I need to talk about a room mix up," I told the lady, "You placed me with girls."
"Okay the, lets just move you," She said and typed a few things in the screen, "Ah-oh."
"What do you mean Ah-oh, thats never good."
"Well it appears that there are no open rooms at the moment. You will need to stay there, until one opens up. Which is not hopeful."
"Great. I'll go tell them the news," I said and walked off.
"Guys, turns out this is the last room," I said as I barged in the room.
"What," Nick and Lei said in unison.
"Yeah, turns out I'm stuck here," I said and sat down.
"Well then, make sure to be good. Now get out of here," Nick said and pushed me off the coach.

The service was over, and I felt tears burn my eyes again. Could May really be dead?
I stayed by her coffin a little while longer. Chad was talking on the phone somewhere to my left side.
"I need to go" he said when he came up to me.
I nodded silently and he walked away, after a kiss.
I decided to go back to the dorms and lay on my bed. her images dance don my mind, her cheerful laughter. May... she was a good friend. And so young to die!
Now my and Shannon's dorm had one available bedroom...
Shannon called me that second. She wanted to cheer us both up so we decided to go shopping. may really liked shopping. I smiled remembering the day she'd came home with Matt following her with a bunch of bags.
I ran down to the front gate and saw Chad with some girl and small kid.
"Chad?" i asked uncertain. He was just too surprised to answer. Shannon touched my shoulder from behind; she, too, confused.
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
"This is all a joke you guys pulled off, right?" I said, pleadingly.
"That would be the sickest joke I've ever pulled." Nick said, sighing.
"I'm serious. Please tell me your clone isn't going to be rooming with yours truly."
I was serious. A guy? Living with me? Its bad enough with Alyse as a roommate. I always thought I would be better off with a single room. Whenever I looked at Mike, I thought Nick and then it dawned on me a few seconds later that it was his twin.
"I have nothing to do with this." Nick said, with a smirk on his face.
I grabbed a pillow and wacked the top of his head with it.
"Hey, don't start that again." Nick said, dodging my throw.
I laughed and kissed his lips, nearly falling on top of him. It would have been a happy kiss if it weren't for Mike.
*Sorry, I used a bit much of Nick's dialogue in this one...*
"What are you doing?" Mike asked walking to the kitchen to grab a snack, "I thought you weren't allowed to date."
"I'm not. And thats why you have to be quiet about this," I told Mike from the coach, Lei seemed a bit sour over being interrupted.
"Okay. But only if you help me get a date this Saturday," Mike said.
"fine, be right back," I said and grabbed my potential date boo, which I still kept just encase, and ran back to Lei's room, "Here," I said and tossed it to him, "just don;t call the red marked ones, those are exes."
"Cool. So anyone on here w-" Mike started.
"Yep. You look like me and sound like me so they should think your me. Now can you leave us be."
"Yeah," Mike said nodding in some trance as he read the book trying to pick who to call.
"To be truthful though he doesn't need my help. He could get his own, but he has some low self esteem. So I always have to make him think I help him, or help him. But to be honest he is almost as good a-" before I finished Lei kissed me.
"I don't really care," She said rolling her eyes, which then sudden;y filled with tears, Uh-oh she remembered May.
"Its okay," I said pulling her into a hug.

*Wow... My internets been down for a while, so this will be a very long post*
MATT~~
*before*
i was zombie. in all senses of the word I was dead. no thoughts went through my brain, no emotions graced my face. No light shone in my eyes. My skin became a sickly pale rather than a healthy pale.
My mind hadn't fully realized what had happened to me. My parents had never been that involved in my life. My grandparents were dead. And now May, who had been my sole reason for living was now gone.
I stood up from my perch on top of an old apartment building. I had left school three days ago to visit my parents. I had stopped by, but went to the city instead. I sighed and zipped up my jacket. I jumped off the building, rolling when I hit the parking deck. I had been doing more dangerous stunts, unintentionally putting y life in danger. I walked over to the edge of the deck and stepped off, landing on a sixteen wheeler. I dropped off and walked past the driver who was looking up at his roof. He saw me pass and his face grew red.
"Hey Man! What do you think you are doing?"
I looked at him and he stepped back, "Fuck you."
*after*
Everyone was dressed in black. It disgusted me. They didn't know her at all. She would have hated seeing them dressed in all black. It was so... morose, and drab. I stood on the edge of the gymnasium listening to the memorial speech. After people started to file away I dropped onto the wet grass in front of the gym. I stepped over to the coffin. I was wearing all clothes that she liked. My pumas that I had used for out parkour lessons, jeans she had boughten me, and my white fleece coat that she always liked to steal.
A couple of students shook their heads when they saw me. A couple muttered things like 'wasn't he her boyfriend?' 'why isn't he dressed up'.
I didn't answer them. They wouldn't possibly be able to understand.
I walked back to my room and picked up my phone from where it lay on my bed. Six missed calls. All but the last from my mom. I listened to the message with mounting anticipation.
"Mr. Cauthon, we were examining the body of Ms. Kurenai and I think I may have found something that may interest you."
I dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up. After a moment someone said "hello?"
"Yes. This is Matt. You called about May Kurenai."
"Oh yes. One moment please."
There was a pause and another voice spoke up, "How are you Mr. Cauthon?"
"How do you think?" I couldn't keep the spite out of my voice.
"Right... Well we traced the bullet in her body, It came from a gun engineered in Italy."
"I already knew that,"
He started to respond but I hung up and threw the phone on my bed. I laid down on the couch. I could feel the tears trying to come up. But I forced them down. She wouldn't have wanted me to cry.

After the funeral everyone went their ways. Maria was bad...very bad. Even Chad couldn't cheer her up. I decided that we were going shopping. Me and Maria. Everybody knows that girls in the mall equals to big fun. We turned that place upside down and we were loaded with shopping bags. We were so amused that we didn't even noticed someone that was coming in our way. We bumped and all the shopping bags flew around. Big mess.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't notice you." Someone said.
*Yeah. I know. Boring but Shannon life is very boring now. So.. writers block, I have.*

Nick brung me closer to him in a warm embrace as cold tears creeped down my cheek.
"Thanks" I said into his chest. My head fit right under his chin and I could feel his breath.
We just sat there holding each other on the couch before Alyse walked in the room.
I pulled away from Nick and murmered something about never being able to get a moment alone.
"Sorry, I was actually going to ask if you were up to going to the mall...that's where Maria and Shannon are but I guess you--" Alyse started to say but I interrupted her.
"Its ok. We weren't really doing anything. To the mall it is." I said, wearily.
I got up off the couch and followed Alyse out the door.
*there you go Rei.*
