Cole's P.O.V.
We arrive back home and enter the house. The whole family is already sleeping. My mum and I try to stay quiet as we walk to our own bedrooms. Both of us are still distraught, especially me.
"Bye mum." I say.
"Bye." She replies.
We both enter our rooms. I lean against the back of the door and drop down to the floor.
"Why?" I mutter.
I start sobbing uncontrollably into my hands.
I grab my phone out and try to call him again, but there is no hope left in me. I've tried so many times before, I just can't think of it being able to work.
It rings...
And rings...
And rings...
"Hey this is Xavier, uh, leave a message at the beep. Beep." My eyes widen in surprise.<

Xavier's P.O.V.While Hal is away I wait. I take in what is around, or more specifically, what isn't around me. Why they are or aren't around me? What is the point of all these things around me? Is there even a point?Life is pointless. I don't understand what I'm doing here. Unless I make a name for myself and people remember me for doing something good, then why am I here? Is it a growth experience? A spiritual journal? To serve a higher power? Or just some pointless nothing? All we do is get a job, get paid, buy a few miscellaneous things that will just be left behind when we die, by the end of it.If we are lucky, we have offspring which do the exact same thing, just differently. What about when you get old? Despite all you did during your life we all meet the same end and everything exists only in memory. Life is one big memory.

Xavier's P.O.V.Hal and I sit together. Him on the side of bed.The nurse comes in."Oh sorry if I'm interrupting anything." She immediately says."Oh no, it's fine." Hal responds getting off the bed and into the seat beside me."Okay, well, you are fine, we can keep you here longer, but it is up tp you. It only happened because it seemed like you were under stress before the incident, that's the only reason why it would happen. Unless you were exercising, that is another factor." She explains.Hal looks at me concerned."Yeah, okay." I say, staring straight ahead at the nurse trying to avoid Hal's concerned gaze."Alright. Now, do you have a place to stay for the night Mr..."She checks her clipboard.

Cole's P.O.V.My alarm clock sounds."Ugh." I feel so weak, and I still have to go to school. All I could think about was Xavier. He is taking up my mind. Xavier this, Xavier that. I hated it. It made me worry so much, and if I worried too much then I just couldn't move on with the day. I have to suppress it somehow.I look over at the clock and see it's 7:30am. I better get up if I don't want to be late for school. I sit up on my bed and push myself off. I'm one of those people who once they manage to get out of bed, I stay out of bed, not wanting to go back in until the end of the day.I run a hand through my hair, it is all knotted. I groggily walk to the bathroom and close the door behind me. My hair is disheveled and messy, strands are sticking up and some are matted down to my scalp."Ew." I think to myself.

Xavier's P.O.V."Xavier.""Hey Xavier.""Cole?" I ask, eyes still glued shut."Cole? No it's me Xavier."I open my eyes."Oh Hal, I should've known." I reply.Hal laughs."Alright, come on we gotta go to school." He informs me.I to turn to face Hal who is preparing clothes for me.I sit up."Alright, here are your clothes for the day. I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast." Hal then walks out of the room.I check out the clothes he put aside for me."Not too bad." I say to myself.After I get dressed and 'pamper' up. I walk down the hall. Out of my peripheral vision I see something that catches my

Cole's P.O.V.Ashley drives into the school.My eyes widen as I see my abandoned car and a huge group of people standing around, looking like they were taking photos.Ashley immediately pats me on the back."It's alright Cole. They are probably doing something else." She says, trying to reassure me."No, no I know what they are doing." I say back, my eyes turn into slits.I open the car door.I hear Ashley call out my name but I ignore her, I need to know what they are doing. I reach the edge of the clump of people.I push them out of my way, some seeing my face and immediately backing away. I reach the middle of the group. All eyes are on me. I hear people whisper and see people giving me judgemental looks. They are all surrounding my dried up b

Xavier's P.O.V.Hal and I enter the school."Oh what's going on over there?" Hal questions.I look towards the great clump of people. For some reason, my stomach immediately knots. This isn't good. It can't be."Oh I'm not sure, I don't think I want to know either." I reply, large groups of people always means trouble, especially when they are all mummuring and have sneaky looks on the face."Okay, I think the same." He replies.We both get out of the car. I check the time and see school has already started."Wow, it must be something important Hal, school's already started and they are all out here." I add, my curiosity piquing but my stomach twisting even further. I can't help but worry, about him."Mm, yeah you are right. Hea

Xavier's P.O.V.The person's eyes widen when they catch Hal’s figure."Hal?"Hal's eyes water, hers do too.The person at the door looks at me, and her eyes narrow.She looks back at Hal."I knew you didn't love me, but I didn’t know I was that bad that I changed you." Her fists clench and her face scrunches up. Her eyes burn red and are glossy with tears. She huffs then runs off in an angry flurry.My eyebrows furrow and I look at Hal confused. Us together? No I wanted to shout at her, but she was already gone and jumped to conclusions way too fast.Was that Semira?Hal buries his head into his arms, as he collapses on the bathroom floor. I realised how distraught Hal had become and

Xavier's P.O.V."Oh sorry." She speaks.I think it's Semira, she looks like the person who fell into the bathroom."Semira?" I ask.She stares at me for a moment, fighting her own thoughts. Finally she gives in and nods, a small sniffle follows.I needed to take this moment. I needed to redeem myself."Hal and I aren't together." I blurt out. "He was just helping me. I promise." I say with intensity.She saunters to a nearby set of lockers and sits down, her back against them and her elbows resting on her tired knees."Hal's right. I do doubt myself too much. Look at where it's gotten me." She softly says, head hanging. In this moment I noticed she had similar hair to Hal, brown and curly."Wait, you heard everythin
