"C'mon Karyme, let's go have some fun-!" Violet says with a laugh.

Karyme smirks, shaking her head. "..like what.?"

"I know a cool place, with no people.. and plenty of drinks." She says, an arm around Karyme.

Karyme laughs. "Alright.. alright. Let's go."

Violet drags Karyme away, and soon they end up on a roof, smoking.

Violet smiles. "Nothing better than this.."

Karyme nods, blowing some smoke. "..do you think we're bad people.?"

Violet looks at her. "Bad how.?"

Karyme lets her legs dangle off the edge of the roof. "You know.. addiction makes bad people.."

"And who said that? Probably the people who have the picture-perfect lives.." Violet replies, rolling her eyes.

"Guess so.." Karyme mumbles.

"What's up with you recently anyways.? Haven't had any hero-ly duties taking up all your time.?" Violet asks with a laugh.

"No, actually. I quit that shit." Karyme replies, taking a drink of alcohol.

"Atta girl! I knew you would come around.!" Violet cheers.

"You were right.. bunch of bullshit playing hero.." Karyme mumbles.

"And I guess little miss Krystal didn't take it well?" Violet asks.

"Not at all. She actually unfriended me.. called me a traitor and some other bullshit.." Karyme says.

"Well fuck her.. she doesn't know shit about you.." Violet replies.

There's a peaceful silence as they both sit there.

"..what about Kaiden.?" Violet asks. "You haven't said a thing about him.."

Karyme looks at her. "That's over with.."

Violet raises an eyebrow. "Really? The hell happened.?"

"..don't wanna talk about it.." Karyme mumbles. "Let's just- forget it, yeah?"

Violet nods understandingly. "So..what are your plans now.?"

"I'm moving." Karyme replies. "Going to Armoni.. heard it's beautiful this time of year.."

Violet hums. "I've heard the same.. I'm sure you'll like it there.."

"Too bad I won't actually get to see it.." Karyme mumbles.

"What.? Now you're just confusing me." Violet says with her arms crossed.

"I'm moving there.. but I'm not staying there." Karyme says.

"That still doesn't make sense." Violet mumbles.

"..can I trust you with this.?" Karyme whispers.

"Of course you can, we've been friends for 4 years." Violet responds.

"Once I get to Armoni.. I'm going to kill myself.." Karyme whispers with a smile. "That way.. no one will ever know.."

Violet raises an eyebrow. "Really now.? That's.. smart.."

Karyme smiles. "I know.. it's perfect.. the move is just a cover up.. once I get there.. I'm free.."

Violet nods. "Remember how we met.?"

Karyme laughs. "How could I forget.? You watched me try to kill myself."

Violet laughs as well. "..that's quite a story isn't it..?"

They both keep laughing together, clinking their bottles of alcohol together. They both lay down, staring up at the sky. Violet turns her head to look at Karyme, who's immersed in the night sky.

"Am I the only one who knows?" She asks.

Karyme turns her head, smiling at her. "Yup. You're the only one who wouldn't try to stop me.. you understand better than anyone.."

Violet smiles back. "Not even your family.?"

Karyme shakes her head. "My family has been dead for years.. there's no one to tell.."

"What about Zaaron.?"

"No.. he has enough going on.."

"Carlos.?"

"Busy with his little girlfriend.."

"Your sister.?"

Karyme frowns. "She left almost 3 years ago.. she doesn't matter to me.."

Violet nods. "That makes sense.. she left you with those monsters people expect you to call your parents.."

Karyme sighs. "Sometimes I wonder why they had me.. It seems like all I ever do is make them mad.."

"Maybe they didn't want another kid.." Violet says with a shrug.

"Yeah you're probably right.." Karyme mumbles.

They both return to silence, until Karyme's phone rings.

Karyme picks it up, staring at it with a frown.

"Who is it.?" Violet asks, scooching over to her to get a good look at the caller ID.

"My fuckin' sister.." Karyme mumbles.

"Are you gonna answer.?" Violet asks.

"Fuck no.." Karyme says, declining the call.

She grabs another bottle, taking a long drink out of it. She hands it to Violet, who does the same.

"Wonder why she called.." Violet mumbles.

"Probably to pity me.. that's all she's fuckin' good at.." Karyme replies.

She turns to Violet. "Hey Violet..?"

Violet looks over to her. 'Yeah.?"

"Promise you'll never pity me.. even when I'm dead.." Karyme says slowly.

Violet nods. "Pinky promise."

They both hold out their pinkies, locking them with a silent nod.

They go back to looking at the sky.

"When I die.." Karyme starts. "I'll be up there.."

"Like a star.?" Violet replies.

"..no.." She says. "Like a supernova.."

Violet smiles. "Fuckin' weirdo.."

Karyme laughs. "Hey.. I'll be dead soon.. be nice.." She says as she playfully punches Violet in the shoulder.

"Also.." Karyme says. "When I'm dead.. you can have my moon hair clip.."

"I already have it though.?" Violet says, hand reaching up to brush the cold clip.

"I know.." Karyme responds. "But it's still mine.. and you never gave it back.."

Violet smiles. "So.. I can keep it for real now.?"

"Duh idiot.." Karyme says. "I don't have any use for it.."

Violet smiles. "That's why you're my best friend.."

Karyme smiles back. "I know.."

As the night goes on, they talk away..

And when the sun rises, Violet is alone.

"You know Karyme.. I regret so much.." Violet mumbles.

"But.. this is the thing I regret the most.."

She looks down at Karyme's still figure in the hospital bed. Tubes and wires in her.. keeping her alive.

"I could've stopped this.." She continues. "If I wasn't drunk.. I could've saved you.."

The beeping of the heart monitor is the only reponse.

"Instead.. I let you. I.. encouraged you.." She whispers.

"I would rather you live and hate me.. than die and like me for letting you.." She says.

She looks away from Karyme, hand still holding hers.

"I'm sorry.. I promised not to pity you.. but it hurts.." She says, tears filling her eyes.

"Kaiden's been.. amazing. He's always here with you.. taking care of everything.. he really loves you, you know.?" She replies with a smile, wiping away her tears.

She closes her eyes, letting the silence calm her.

"I have to go.. it's late.." She mumbles, standing up.

"Just.. hang on, okay? Don't let go.." She whispers, finally letting go of her limp hand.

"Stay a star.. don't become a supernova.."
