~20 minutes later~

I hear knocking at the front door so I get out of bed to open it. When I open the door Javon gives me a big hug "how are you doing" he says still hugging me, I let go of him "I'm okay" I say smiling not wanting to cry because he has never seen me actually upset.

~Javon's pov"

"I'm okay" Astride says smiling, but I know she isn't. "Stop lying, you can tell me how you feel i'm your boyfriend" she just looks at me for a second ."I'm sorry, I just can't believe that he's gone" she says as her voice cracks and begins to cry "it's okay ma, you don't have to apologize" I give her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

We go to her room and lay in her bed. I begin to play with her hair as her tears drop on my shirt. "Thank you for coming over" she says looking up at me "I will always be here for you no matter what" I say kissing her.

I hate seeing her like this, I hate seeing her in pain. I look down and Astride is asleep, she looks so peaceful. I grab my phone to let my mom know I'm staying the night and then fall asleep.

-the next morning-

~Astride's pov~

I wake up to someone playing with my hair and open my eyes to see Javon. "Good morning princess" he says in his morning voice "good morning, thank you for staying with me"I reply. He kisses me "I told you I'll always be here for you" I start to blush at his words "are you hungry I can make you something" he asks "no I'm fine thank you though" I reply.

We just chill in bed for a while watching movies and cuddling. "Do you have to go train today" I ask "yeah but I have a match coming up soon, but I'm probably just gonna stay with you" he reply's. as much as I love hanging out with him I don't want to hold him back "you should go we can hang out later" I say "no, it's fine I'm not leaving you". "I'll be fine" I say "oh well to bad I'm not leaving you"he laughs, he's so stubborn "ok then I'll come with you" I say, to be honest I don't really wanna leave but he needs to train. "Are you sure" he asks, "yes" I lie and give him a kiss.

~30 minutes later~

I got in the shower, brushed my teeth, and put on some Nike pros and a random oversized graphic tee. I feel like a walking corpse, everything just feels fake. "Are you positive you want to go with me" Javon asks "for the a millionth time yes" I say smiling.

Dj came and picked us up "hey Astride, how are you doing honey" Dj asks as we get in his truck "uhm I'm ok thanks for asking" I say giving him a smile then Javon grabs my hand.

Once we arrive at the gym Javon and Dj go to train so I sit in a chair next to where they were training and get on my phone. I open instagram and start going through story's. On Chris,Matt's, and Nicks story the said how they are going through family stuff and won't be posting for a while. Then I go through my dm's when I find one from an ex friend from Boston.

What the fuck he has only been dead for two days. I mean we live in a small town so news spreads fast. I get up to go to the bathroom and lock myself in the last stall. My chest starts to feel heavy so I sit on the floor. I'm breathing but no air is actually coming in. Tears start to fill my eyes as I start to breath heavier.

~Javons pov~

I'm training but I can't keep my eyes off Astride I just wanna make sure she is ok. When I look over at her she looks sad then she gets up and goes to the bathroom. "I'm gonna check on Astride give me a second" I say running over to my phone to text her.

She said she's fine but I don't know she looked really upset. "Javon come on" my dad says calling me back over to train.

~Astride's pov~

"Hey are you ok" I hear someone from outside the stall door say "uhm yeah I'm fine" I say getting up and wiping away my tears then leaving the stall to see a girl who looks around my age.

"You don't look fine" she says "sorry that was rude" she quickly apologized after "no it's fine"I say. "I know you don't know me but if you need to talk about anything" she says, she looked really nice she has long dark hair and I'm pretty sure she is Latina from her accent.

"Thank you, I'm Astride by the way" I say, of course I'm not gonna actually say what's wrong I just meet the girl "I'm Amaya" she says smiling, her smile is so contagious. "I think we are gonna be good friends" she says, she is so confident everything about her just screams confidence "yeah" I say laughing.
