ABBY:

JT

abby runs into jt showing that it is real.

JT

ABBY:

no it was all a trap we needed you home and we knew that if you thought i was dead you would come back to us.

JT

i cant believe that you would do something like that to me. i guess im going to have to change my plans. i guess im going to have to kill you both.

abby

jt we are your only family your only life you cant get rid of us.

jt pushes abby out of the way and jumps on laciee's back. and tries to take her down.

ABBY

jt stop, your out of control.

jt doesnt hear her because of laciee's screams, they are on the ground now and jt is on top of laicee pinning her down and punching her with her other hand. laicee passes out.

ABBY

jt what have you done omg im calling the cops.

JT

your not calling anyone abby.

jt runs at abby now abby falls on the bottom step hitting her head, shes now bleeding. jt grabs the shoelace and gets ready to wrap it around her neck.

JT

if you had left me alone when i asked none of this would have happened.

ABBY

jt doesnt want to move they are still in the grass and jt is still sobbing while jake whistpers its ok its over repitedly. jake is too busy taking care of jt to notice laicee get up. she takes out a knife and walks towards them slowly. she gets close to JT and Jake. jake sees laicee raise the knife at JT's exposed side he moves jt over and raises his arm up. the knife goes into his arm and he gasps in pain.

JT

JAMIE:

i have time.

jamie starts to write in the note book finishing the story.

JAMIE:writing

dear notebook i lied last time that wont be the last entry and neither will this one be the last. my life wasnt at its end before and neither was laicee or abbys. turns out jake was here for me after all and everything is going to be alright. im going back to school today. and this time it will be diffrent. because no longer will the other side of life affect anyone. it is over and all of them have gotten help. the other side was an experement by immature girls who wanted to know what control would be like and in the end it almost cost all of us our lives. i gotta go to class and see all the teachers now catch you later...Jamie. not JT

jt gets out of the car and walks onto campus, laciee and abby are standing together near by. they give her a smile and not. everything is fine.
