"Who was that?" Joey asked Nina, who was staring off into space, hanging up on the phone. "Nina, what's wrong?" He asked.
"Tiffany.." Nina could hardly speak. "She's dead!!" Crying, she ran into Joey's arms.
Joey couldn't believe his ears.
"Nina.." He let go of her, "What happened?" He asked, panicked.
She was stuttering, it was as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest. "A-a-Amy sh-sh-shot her."
"Oh God.." Joey said, as he reached for a tissue, and wiped Nina's tears.
"Th-then Ju-Justin walked in a-a-and saw Amy popo-point the gu-gu-gun at her he-head." She took the tissue from Joey's hand and wiped her tears herself.
"She killed herself?" Joey asked.
Nina squealed. It was incredibly hard to take in the fact that once, someone you hated in the past, ended up being you best friend, then ends up murdered, and there is no explanation or anything. Nina's feelings were unexplainable; she had never felt so close to anyone like she did with Tiffany. How could this happen? Tiffany was her best friend, Tiffany was too good, and Tiffany didn't deserve this.
"Nina! Joey!" Lance and JC barged in, crying.
"Oh Lance!" Nina ran into his arms as they both cried hysterically.
It was heartbreaking for Joey and JC to see the people they love so much, in this kind of pain. They didn't know how to react. They had never felt so much emotion. The two tried to hold back the tears. Not in fear of people seeing them in pain but they figured they needed to be strong for Lance and Nina.
"Come on.." JC said through his tears. "Let's go see Justin."

This couldn't be anymore, than the worst day of my life. My wife, the love of my life, and mother of my children, the reason why I breathe is gone. And not to mention, she left the way I NEVER thought anyone I loved so much would ever leave me. A "friend" took her life. Why? Why cut someone else's life short, if you're unhappy? It just didn't make any sense to me, and it didn't really matter. The only thing that mattered right now was the future of our children, and my Tiffany… who was gone.
All I could do was look at her body. Her lifeless body that was no more than a pile of flesh. I cried like I've never cried before. What am I going to tell the kids if they ask for their mother? What am I going to do with the rest of my life? I can't live without Tiffany, there is just no way.
Before I knew it, my house was bombarded with police, paramedics, new reporters, paparazzi, and of course, my friends, all but Chris. And within 20 minutes, it was on every channel.

"Singer, songwriter Tiffany Haga was gunned down this afternoon in her mansion, where her body was discovered by husband, Justin Timberlake." Carson Daly said on T.V. as Chris watched, startled. "The suspect was found to be friend of Tiffany, and fiancé of Christopher Kirkpatrick, Amy." Chris's heart nearly stopped beating. "Apparently there was a misunderstanding between the two, leaving Amy angry, she murdered friend, Tiffany Haga, then, as Justin came racing in, she took her own life."
Chris was completely shocked. Goose bumps chilled his skin and tears stung the edges of his eyes. The two people he loved the most in the world were gone.
"We'll have more details about the Tiffany Haga murder later on."
Chris couldn't believe what he had just seen. He needed to go to Justin's and see what exactly was going on.

"I love you more than life itself. More than words can say." I said, holding Tiffany, as Nina, Joey, Jc, and Lance, watched from a few feet behind me, all crying. Chris was standing in the far back but I couldn't see him. I didn't want to see him. I know it wasn't his fault but I am so emotional right now that I might kill him. They had already taken away Amy's body, but I demanded we get a few minutes alone with Tiffany, to say good-bye.
Nina was probably the loudest one crying. I tried to be strong, but at times, I just couldn't help it. I didn't want to hold any grudges on anyone, but when it came to think about it, nobody but Amy came to mind, with more anger than ever.
I heard Lance sing the lyrics of "I Will Remember You." Jc and Nina joined in. Joey and Chris weren't too far behind. I joined in, as we all sang, in a whisper; "I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by. Weep not for, the memories." I know that song was a message from Tiffany, in some way.
My eyes must have weighed a ton each, from the tears that formed. I cried, burying my face in Tiffany's shoulder. I could hear Nina squealing as Joey walked her out of the room. Lance and Jc followed, giving me a minute.
With Tiffany in my arms, I rocked back and forth, crying. I was telling her that I would make sure Josh and Alexis would be raised with more love that anyone. I talked to her as if she were still alive. I told her I would try to move on when the time came, but no one would ever take her place, and whoever comes in my life, will just have to respect that. Just then, I felt an incredible sense of peace and love. I knew Tiffany was right there with me...
