It's been two weeks since Lindsay's death, three since Tyler's. Everyone's acting like nothing happened and Mrs.Lynn isn't doing the communications thing anymore. Hell we never did it. People aren't turning in questions. So here we are, Friday and she's checking the bin by the door again, this time pulling out a sheet of paper.

She smiles, then clearing her throat as she walks to the front of the room and sitting on the edge of her desk. We all look at her as she unfolds the paper, holding it down instead of reading. "Someone has left us a note, so I will be reading it and we will open it up for discussion, alright." She smiles, holding the paper up and reading it aloud before in her head. I can tell by the way she brings it up and starts reading as soon as it makes contact with her eyes. "From Anonymous. One by one they all fall down. Until the last one is you. And of course I spare your life...because I love you."

We all freeze, Mrs.Lynn bringing her eyes up slowly as she falls back against her desk. "It's the murderer." Someone whispers and all hell breaks loose. Everyone starts to scream, panic, running into the halls and telling every other classroom as I remain in my seat amongst the chaos, memories of Tyler flashing in my mind.

"Mae hurry up!" Tyler smiles, running ahead of me on the playground. His smile only falters when I trip on a rock, scrapping my knee on his green lawn on the warm summer day when we were six. "Mae are you okay?" He asks as he sits next to me. I can't help but cry as he runs inside and grabs a bandaid and puts it on my knee. "Are you better?" I look at him as he kisses it. "Mommy says kisses make everything better." I nod, smile and hug him.

"Uhm Mae." I turn my head, looking at Tyler as his hair droops down on his face. He pulls a flower form behind his back, smiling as I take it from his hand. "I love you!" His eight year old baby face smiles. I can't help but smile at him too, hugging him as he wraps his arms around me. "Do you love me too?""Of course!" I don't hesitate.

"God damn it Mae!" Tyler shouts. We're alone, in his room during a party he threw while his parents were gone with Eloise for her ballet recital. The music booms as we sit in silence. "Do you have to be such a dumb bitch!" He slaps his hand across my cheek, the red sting lingering for minutes as he stares at his hand, then my cheek that I hold with my hand. My eyes burn with tears. "M-Mae I'm so sorry I didn't mean–""It's fine Tyler. Really." I can't help but smile at how sincere he is, even at twelve years old.

I bite my lip as Tyler caresses my face, a smirk on his as he hovers above me shirtless and fuzzy. He moves up and down slowly and I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen. A low grumble escapes me as he continues to go, the pain only growing worse. I groan louder, him holding his finger to my lips then kissing me. "It's fine Mae. Everything's fine." He kisses me again, the pain only growing sharper.

I shake my head. I don't like to think about that. I don't like to think about when we were fourteen. David Macnimaria shakes my shoulders and I look up at him. "Aren't you freaked out! That son of a bitch that killed Tyler is in this fucking school!" Mrs.Lynn doesn't correct his language. She's frozen at her desk.

I look at David. He's Tyler's best football friend. They would play any sport any chance they could. "Y-Yeah I am."

"He could be after you! You're just as much of an asshole at Tyler!" He pushes me out of my seat, falling to thr ground as he runs off down the hall.

I stare at my computer, at the message. It's eleven at night so I shouldn't even be awake, but I am because my parents are downstairs yelling about my future again, even though my Father should be gone and away from us. I stare at my screen.

Sachj87: did you get my note?

He...he goes to my school. He's going to kill me, isn't he.

MaeDa: Why are you killing people?

Sachj87 is typing...

Sachj87: well...I love you of course

I can't look away from the message. I think I'm going to puke.

MaeDa: You don't know me

Sachj87: I know all I need to know about you my sweet.

MaeDa: I'm not yours

Sachj87 is typing...

Sachj87: You will be

He has to be kidding. I'm no ones but Tyler's. I love him, no one can change that. I go to his account, nothing posted, only the comments he had posted on Tyler and Lindsay's accounts. Nothing new the police can tell. Only that the comments are coming from the same town three towns over at the same park, but no one is ever there anymore because they blocked it off from people.

MaeDa: Leave me alone

Sachj87: Now why would I do that? You don't know who I am

MaeDa: the police know you go to my school

Sachj87 is typing...

Sachj87: Well I may go to your school, but they have no idea who I am

MaeDa: They're getting fingerprints form the paper

Sachj87: they won't find any. I delivered it with care...and with my next victims finger prints

MaeDa:...who?

Sachj87 is typing...

Sachj87:Go on the news tomorrow morning...
