(joe)
It was late in the night about eight, when I was in my room looking through my songs. I skipped to a new page and began writing,
“They come and go,
But they don’t know,
That you are mine beautiful.”
Just then the light in my room turned off and I was left staring at the three lines in the dark. I could hear Kevin and Frankie grumble something about the light being cut off. I slid myself in my wheel chair and wheeled myself over to their room which was next door. There was another voice, feminine, one which I could not recognize.
“Come on and stop being babies. There are a lot of fun things we can do in the dark”
“Hey Dani, maybe we could give Joe his late Halloween present” said Frankie.
“No, leave Joe alone. He has had enough for a day.” Replied Kevin.
I decided to leave them alone and head back to my room. As I turned around , the light in the hall switched on and the television’s volume blasted high.
“Looks like someone’s out to get princess; sources say an intruder set blaze in the kitchen hoping to burn down the mansion.”

"Its the beginning of the end" I whispered as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. They had forced me to try on the dress I would be wedded in tomorrow. It was one of a kind Cinderella dress; strapless and decorated with rig stones. They had also placed a humongous crown in my head with a vial attached; and I could already feel the spotlight that would be on me tomorrow. I had made my choice; I was going to do the thing every one has been telling me since the night Cody had died. I took off the gold locket from around my neck and the watch from around my arm and carefully placed them in a box along with other items that had reminded me of him. Then taking the box, I shoved it deep under the bed. I got up to see Selena; dressed in a simple yellow/ gold dress standing at the door way, with a small smile on her face.
"Cody would be smiling right now, if he was here"
I dropped my head feeling tears tempting to fall when I heard her say his name. It brought back memories, the promise of forever and always and my broken promise I had made to myself. When I could no longer feel the tears in my eyes, I looked up at Selena.
"Im sorry," I said, "I didnt mean to say what I said and I take back everything"
Her smile dropped and a confused look took over her facial expression.
"You think you can just take back what you said and we move on like it never happened. For the past 3 nights, I had no sleep. The only thing that ran through my mind was the things that you said. "She said; her voice cold.
"We have grown apart until I dont even know who you are anymore Demetria Devonne. And to know you were actually the one I most looked up to"
"Im marrying him Selena, what more do you want?" I shouted .
I could feel myself about to break down.
"I want my best friend, the Demi I know, who doesnt push people away"
