Xander’s Pov
I watched as their car moved away into the rain and out of sight as I stood there rooted to the ground unable to comprehend whats been happening over the page few hours

First my closest friend gets electrocuted which had never ever happened and now my best friend is gone why couldn’t I just tell her I wanted to so badly yet I couldn’t the words couldn’t even form in my mouth but now it’s too late because she’s gone and she’s might never come back even if she does she gonna hate me anyways

I was numb till I felt my body shake violently

“They’re gone… Maya said sadly holding my shoulder

“Kierra said to tell you…..

“Don’t I don’t want to listen to anything she has to say and that’s final… She said before walking away into the rain

“Maya wait up Maya please… I said catching up to her

“You’re obviously gonna try and and defend her I know but she’s still to Blame for everything xander it’s all her fault that’s max is in there right now it’s all her fault I hate her I hate her so much I’ll tell you the same thing I told her if anything happens to max I won’t ever forgive her I won’t … She said sobbing hard

My mind was in a turmoil trying to figure out what happened to make Maya believe it’s Kierra’s fault because I know for a fact she can’t hurt a fly

“Max would be okay Maya he’ll be fine and they’ll be back before you know it… I said deciding to throw caution into the wind as i rubbed her back as she settled in my arms

PRESENT TIME

Sitting straight up on my bed before I went to sleep I decided to do what I’ve doing ever since kierra left the only thing that’s kept me from loosing my sanity…

“Dear diary it’s been over a month since the leah moved away for treatment it’s been over a month since I heard her angelic voice

Her addictive smile and her amazing cologne

Saying I miss her right now would be an understatement I need her so badly everyday I wake up with the dream that they’ll move back to California

Every day I stop by their apartment but it’s just as they left it empty and void

Everyday I write in this diary what I wanted to tell her but I couldn’t and everyday I feel like ending my life because living without her is meaningless

Entry 210:Please come back to me kierra… I wrote before closing the book lightly as I stared into space truing to picture her face on the ceiling

At first when I got it I thought of even writing In a diary or a journal it was childish it wouldn’t be of no use to me at all but the moment Kierra left everything I wanted to tell her kept running through my mind and I decided to write it all down for the day she would return because I believe she would and once I started I couldn’t stop it’s like a tradition now to always right what I feel down in the book

Turning through the book right from my first entry I began to reminisce on the happenings since kierra moved away right from my first ever diary entry

Entry 1:
Everything feels strange getting home from school but feeling unable to do anything I can’t eat I can’t talk to anyone I’m not my self anymore and it’s all because of her a part of me went along side kierra and that was the part of me because frankly I can’t function properly without her

Entry 34:
Maya seems extremely cold towards everyone she hardly talks but instead prefers to be around Freya they’ve grown close over the past one week and we’ve only grown more apart than ever

I wrote that the day I realised she changed drastically Freya and her suddenly became this close of a sudden and even up till date they still are Kierra would be so heart broken when she finds out I’ve tried all I could to get close to her but she closes everyone off and prefers to be near either Kate or Jennifer but most times its Freya who only seems to be interested in what she wants ME

Entry 61:
I feel like strangling Chase

I can’t even remember why I wrote that one but I figure it has something to do with the fact that he always stands by her locker acting like he misses her the most when I’m literally dying inside of me and he acts all remorse about her leaving

The day I gave his jacket back to him he didn’t argue nor say a word he actually looked sad so maybe he loves her for real maybe maybe they’ll all be maybes until Kierra gets back and clears it all up

Entry 86:
Whats going on with me???

I scrambled that entry when I realised I stayed up into the late of night thinking about kierra when I got her picture framed near my bad so she’ll be the last thing I see before closing my eyes and the first thing I see before walking up what is wrong with me

Enter 104:
Maya is getting out of hand she’s totally changed she dresses different talks different and she has no respect for anyone now she acts like she’s the queen bee of the school

I remember that say vividly about three weeks ago when Maya poured coffee on an innocent junior just for fun she’s growing to be even more cold than Freya Kate and Jennifer put together

Entry 143:
Freya wouldn’t stop making advances at me I’ve tried all I could to stay away from her but she’s hell bent on coming back together but that’s never going to happen my heart doesn’t belong to her not anymore

It belongs to kierra Leah… I thought as I flipped through

Entry 175:
I beat Seth up kierra would ki*ll me if she finds out

I just couldn’t help myself he kept on talking trash about her how she wasn’t a good kisser and how he used her and dumped her like used clothing I had no idea how my fists came in contact with his jaw until I nearly landed him in the hospital which gave me two weeks detention which only gave me more time to only think of her

Entry 204:
Maya has reached her limits she dared deface Kierra’s locker she even added Insulting words like whore b***h I knew they weren’t on good terms but that crossed a line so I Had to confront her she can do anything she wants except messing with kierra

I moved to my last entry before today’s entry the saddest and the most regretful one of all what I wished I could erase from the book but sadly I had to live it there as a reminder of my stupidity

Entry 209:
I Kissed Maya

God am so so stupid… I thought as I closed the book deciding not to even think about what came over me instead I resulted to staring at the picture of kierra before turning off the lights sleeping off almost immediately as her face floated around my mind

Kierra’s Pov
Max’s illness made one thing clear to me I’m bad luck I bring bad luck to anyone who goes Close to me now it got to my own brother
And for the second time I’m responsible for my brother trip to the ICU

I kept on pacing back and forward in the waiting room the image of his blessings nose unable to leave my memory I hope that wouldn’t make it serious or else I won’t be able to forgive myself and neither would Maya

“Baby girl what happened…mum and dad said rushing in wearing worried expressions

“Am so sorry it’s my fault I should have I should have been more careful I’m so so sorry please forgive me please

I shouldn’t have been so stupid the doctor made it clear we shouldn’t force him but because I wanted him to remember quickly so we could leave this God forsaken Miami I rushed my brother and now he’s in the ICU fighting for his life

“It’s not your fault just tell us what happened

“Umm… I was looking at a picture of Maya him and I then I left the room forgetting to keep it safely and then he saw it and he fainted and he was even bleeding I don’t know what happened or what’s wrong… I said sobbing

“Calm down dear it’s not your fault at all you had no idea he would be in the room

“But I should have been more careful now who knows what would happen to him it’s all my fault for the second time it’s my fault

“Second time… They said simultaneously as my words registered in my head

“Mr and Mrs Leah… The doctor said stepping out as my parents gave me a look that they weren’t finished with me just yet

“How’s our son doc

“Your son had a relapse from the scan it shows that his brain activities spiked and his body couldn’t take the pressure hence he fainted but he’ll be alright

“I’ll strictly advice not to try and remind him of anything rather you should let him remember on his own right now I’ll advice you return back to California with immediate effect I was wrong in my diagnosis she I said you shouldn’t return right now it seems he should be in a farmilar environment so the memories won’t be strange to him but mind you everything should come naturally to him no mention of his past should be made known to him you all should simply act like he’s just moved back to California and continued his normal routine…

My happiness knew no limit we were finally going back I’ll get to see them again finally we were leaving no more California here I come… I thought smirking

“Doc can we see him now… I added

“He’s unconscious right now but you can see him soon I’ll prepare everything so he’ll be discharged tomorrow so you can as well book your flight to California for tomorrow

“Alright doc we’ll do… Mum and dad said walking away

“Umm doc can I at least see him it’ll only Be just a minute

“Alright but be quick… He said as I rushed in

I hated seeing my brother in this state not moving not smirking and worse a drop attached to his body at least he’ll be alright and thankfully everything would be fine since we were leaving for California tomorrow and I’ll finally get to see xander again it’s only been a month but to me it’s been decades but not anymore by tomorrow everything would be back to normal

“Baby girl can we talk… Dad said at the door

“Umm sure dad I’ll be right there… I added walking out gently shutting the door behind me

“Now that we’re going back and now that you’re brother is fine it’s been a month and we haven’t really asked but I think now should be the time I seriously need to know what happened that day at school and why would think it was your fault… Dad asked as I sighed softly staring at him unable to utter a word
