flashback
. . . .
We came to school a little late when auntie Christopher dropped josh, Layla & i off.
We went our separate ways and headed to class.
I was walking in the halls when I overheard legacy & rome talking about something.
" I heard even the best friendships can come apart in high school.. but that couldn't happen to us right ? " legacy says
" promise me that no matter what happens we will already stick together " she says grabbing romes hands
They kept talking after so I went other way to class so I wouldn't ruin their conversation.
. . . .
end of flashback.
I just woke up and I saw that it was lightly snowing.
I got up and did my typical hygienic things then got ready.
I went downstairs to see faith on a call.
I waited till she was done so I can talk to her.
I sat down on the kitchen counter.
I finally spoke after she was done.
" hey faith wanna hangout " I say
" y/n theirs teens around this house and you want to hang out with your father's assistant " she says with a light chuckle
I stayed silent for a minute then legacy came around the corner.
" hey y/n " legacy says sitting next to me
" hey Ms.faith " she added
Faith gave her a simple smile while I said hey back.
" so y/n you wanna hang out with me today ... legacy wanna join " faith asked
" sure " legacy says
" alright then crew let's head out, we'll be running errands today " she says grabbing her keys and heading out
we both jumped off the counter and followed her.
We started go into the car when we heard bronny & khoi .
" mind if we join the train " khoi says while bronny trails after

" no problem get in " faith says
We all entered the car. Legacy was in the passenger seat while bronny sat next to me & khoi was in the back
after settling down and drove off .
" first stop a cafe for treats & drinks to stay awake for the long day " faith says
after a few minutes we arrived. Everyone got out but me .
" you coming y/n " faith asked
I nodded no.
" alright I'll make sure to get something for you " she says
I stayed in the car & after a few minutes passed I saw bronny exiting the cafe with two drinks.
He entered the car & gave me the other drink.
" thank you " I said simply
It was silent.
I turned my phone on to check the time but forgot all my wallpaper on my phone .
Bronny looked at it.
" you still have that photo of us still on your wallpaper .. I thought you would've changed it by now " he says with a chuckle
" naw.. it's a little reminder for me when thing were simpler " I say
" for us .. the way we used to be " I added
Before he could say anything everyone started to come back into the car.
" alright next stop the office " faith says
It was silent the whole ride the only thing we heard was music coming from the radio.
After a twenty minute drive we finally reached the office. We wanted inside and the office was bigger than it was the last time I was here .
" you guys can hangout in the food court or anywhere else I'll be in some meetings with teams " faith says
" and y/n you should probably go say hi to your dad in his office if he's not busy " she added

I nodded. After that she walked away.
" so anyone know their way around here cause this place is huge " khoi says
" follow me I'll show you guys to the food court " I say with a light laugh
I showed to the food court where we were gonna hangout for the time while their.
" woah " they say speechless
" enjoy yourselfs I'll be waiting for you guys at a table " i says with a smile
They rushed to get food while I went to a table and waited for them .
I looked out the huge glass window and saw that the snow was still falling slowly it was magical.
After a few minutes they all came back with food.
" I got you a plate even though you didn't ask " bronny says
I smiled and said thank you .
" so the last time we were all together like this was when Rome was with us " khoi says eating his food
" you know what I think " I say
" what " khoi responds
" you miss Rome more than you actually think " I say
" I mean before she left everyone actually talked and hanged out with each other " he says
" we still do that " legacy says
" barely " bronny says after her
" enough about Rome , what's been going on with everyone lately " legacy says switching the topic fast
We all shrugged.
Out of nowhere I heard a familiar voice .
" hey guys " a masculine voice said
We all turned around and saw Corey.
" hey y/n isn't that your friend that came to help with yonis party " legacy says
I nodded trying not to look at him.
" I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the party I had a emergency las- " Corey started to say
" what are you even doing here Corey " I say
" uh my parents are actually here to talk to ceo here " he says
" my dad " I say
" well since your here we should go ask your parents what the big emergency was that you couldn't came to the party or even less tell me " I say
" y/n I'm sorry " he says
" um I think we all need a breather how about y/n I accompany you to say hi to your dad like faith said " bronny says
I got up and led the way without a word.

Eight Years Ago"Mom.." I say with a small smile on my face.My sister had passed her first music lesson and we're all so proud of her."What is it Layla!? can't you see I'm busy?!" She snaps."Oh.." I say, my smile faltering slightly, as I watch mom cuddle Heidi and give her lots of sweets as reward."C-can I have a sweetie too?" I ask.Mom laughs coldly. "Why should you? You've never achieved anything, have you?! Lazy little brat." Heidi giggles and I look at her to see a smirk on her face, making my face fall. I watch mom whisper things to Heidi, making her giggle even more.The door swings open, and my dad walks in.I smile again, running to him and hug his knees but he just brushes me off with an annoyed expression, walking towards my mom hugging her and ruffling Heidi's hair.What's going on?"Dad..ruffle my hair too?" I ask hesitantly.All three of them burst out laughing and I sink down in embarassment."Layla, we always knew you weren't the brightest kid here." He laughs "I just knew you'd be a screw up, right Luise?" He says and she nods."And I was right. You're a failure" He grabs my maths sheet, crumples it up and throws it at me. "You spend way too much time with your 'friends' never on your education, you ungrateful little brat. We should've got rid of you as soon as we found out you were on the way." He spits out spitefully as my mum nods, still smirking."Dad I'll do better, I promise!"I sob, tears streaming down my face, but he shakes his head, smirking. I look at my sister and walk towards her giving her a watery smile."H-Heidi... we're still friends right?" I ask, desperately.Her smirk slowly vanishes. she leans forward and I thought she'd hug me, but instead she pulls my hair and pushes me onto the floor making me scream.She laughs, my parents joining her."Stupid" she hisses, kicking me, before going to my parents, all of them walking out, leaving me on the floor, crying my eyes out.What have I done to deserve this?
