I smile and lean my head back on his shoulder. But something feels...wrong about this. About US. I mean, I do like Alex, but I feel like something is...off. I sigh silently. The bell rings and brings me out of my trance. I jump and squeak. Alex chuckles beside my ear. "I have to get to class." I say, stepping out of his embrace. I stretch up on my tippy toes and give him a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later, K?" I say. He nods and we go our seperate ways.
I walk to my next class in a daze. What was that? I mean, i really like Andi, but something feels off about this. I sit down at my desk and stretch my legs in front of me as I wait for the rest of the students in my English class. Alex walks in and I clench my fists. He sits across from me and I glare at the white board. "Jason, is something wrong?" He asks. I look over at him. "well, ALEX YEAH, something is WRONG." I hiss. He gives me a questioning look. "Woah, Jason, calm down!" He exclaims. My anger gets the best of me. "DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE HOOKING UP WITH KAT!" I shout. He stands up as well, his chair falling back. "LAST THING I CHECKED, YOU WERE WITH ANDI!" He screams. "AT LEAST I'M NOT A DOUCHE BAG!" I yell at him.

I curl my fist up into a ball and stand up, ready to throw punches. "HEY!" mr. larkson yells. "DO I HAVE TO CALL SECURITY ON YOU TWO?!!" i take a deep breath and sit back down. I stare at the whiteboard but dont pay attention to what mr. larkson is saying.
I sit down for my last class of the day. All i can think about is finally getting to go home. i pretend like im listening while i wonder what jason is planning for our date. After an hour and a half of pure bordom the bell rings. Mrs. clark tries to stop us all from leaving because of the bell but that didnt work out very well. Im standing at my locker when i feel a tap on my shoulder. I look to the side it was on and saw no one. then did it again on the other shoulder. this made me a little mad. i turn completely around to yell at them but there still isnt anyone there. i go to swipe my hand threw the air in a "whatever" motion when something no someone stops me.

I chuckle silently. "Jason!" she huffs impatiently. I glance around and re-appear. "Hey." I say quietly. She closes her locker adn we walk out together. I see Alex and Kat in front of us, so I grip the wad of paper in my hand. My arm shoots out and it hits its mark. Alex spins around as the wad of paper bounces to the floor. I smirk at him and he walks up to me. We are now nose to nose. "You really wanna do that, Sanders?" Alex hisses. "absolutely." I say. His fist launches out and hits me in the stomach. I hunch over and he laughs coldly. I retaliate with a punch to his cheek. Punches are thrown and somehow, we end up rolling on the floor. "STOP IT!" Kat screeches and we freeze. We untangle and stand up. My heart breaks to see tears streaking down her face. "You two are best friends." She says, her voice breaking. "I have never seen two best friends fight like this before and it HURTS." She said, then turned to Andi, smiling shyly. "Would you like to come over to my house? We can hang out and maybe even become friends." She asks.

I was about to break up the fight but kat seems to be on it. "um sure. i have to be home by 7 though." i say, looking at jason. "That's cool!" kat smiles at me.
I watch her look at jason and i just get angry. I go and stand next to kat and lace my fingers through hers. Both andi and jason stare at us in confusion. Then jason goes and stands by andi and puts his arm around her.
Jason puts his arm around me and it feels nice. but these guys are clearly being competative.

I roll my eyes and drag Alex towards my car. "GO HOME." I say sternly, shoving him towards his car. "Not until I get your number." I give it to him, then shove him to his car. I see Jason and Andi hug goodbye before she makes her way over to me. "Why don't you just follow me to my house, k?" she nods and I climb into my silver Corvette Z06 and turned it on, sighing as the engine purred to life. I put it into drive and drove out of the parking lot, seeing Andi's black Mustang (the newest model) follow me. I'm praying that my dad's not home and if he is, that he's asleep. We pull into my driveway. I'm relieved to see that my dad's car isn't there. Andi pulls in after me as I climb out of my car. I grab my heavy backpack and lug it inside, then turn to Andi, spreading my arms apart. "Well, this is my house!" I chirp with a smile on my face.
I sit on my bike as Alex's ancient Mustang drives past me. I wave at him and he stops, cranking down the passenger window. "Alex, I feel horrible. Kat's right. We're best friends. We shouldn't be fighting like this." I say.

I giggle and nod. "So...why do you have to be home at seven?" I ask her. She fidgets awkwardly and my curiosity spikes.
I pack up the picnic basket with candles, fried chicken, potato salad roles, some fruit and a chocolate cake plus the blanket. I then lay on my couch and fall asleep.

"acctually im kina going on a date tonight.with jason." i say awkwardly. "oh." she says and rubs her arms really fast, "lets go inside its cold out here." i nod. "hey do you have an xbox?" i ask. "of course! my favorite game is left4dead." "oh my god me too!" we go up to her room and pwn some deserving zombies. and im having fun without alex. who new?
i get home and lay on the couch. my dad is still at work and my mom is who knows where. i almost fall alseep when i get an idea. i quickly sit up and give myself a head-rush. The headache finally goes away and my vision comes back and and focus on the empt beer bottle in front of me. i focus all of my attention on it untill t seems tobe the only thing in the room other than me. suddenly it lifts up a foot off the table. i laugh with exctiment and lift it hgher its almost touching the ceiling when i loose my conccentration and i falls to the floor ad shatter. "damnit" i mutter under my breath. now i have to clean this up before my mom steps on it, and if she's drunk, murder me. i tr to pick it up with my mind but i cant focus on so many peices at once. i i try to focus on how they used to be a whole but i guess that doesn't work when they aren't whole anymore. i sigh and clean up all the glass peices and throw them in the trash can in the kitchen. time to take a nap i think.

I had a friend. Like, an actual friend! Suddenly, my door slams open and I know that this friendship is soon to come to an end as my drunken dad stumbles into the room. "WHY ISN'T THE HOUSE CLEAN!" He shouts, yanking me up by the collar of my shirt. I swallow and take a deep breath. "I'm sorry, father. I forgot." I say, obviously scared. He gets in my face and the rank smell of beer on his breath makes me want to barf. "Well do it, child." He says and throws me down before slamming the door shut. I hear a crash, then him yell. "SHIT!" before it goes silent. I hear the door of his room slam and I slump down as silent tears trickle down my face.

I move over to sit by kat and put my hand on her shoulder sympathetically. "I know you don't want to hear it anymore but i'm here for you." she looks up at me tears flowing down here cheeks. "we can hang out at my house from now on." come on. lets sneekout of the window." i gesture behind me at the big window that conveniently is next to a climbable tree.

I follow Andi out my window and down the tree. We sneak out to our cars and I follow her to her house. She also lives in a mansion. I follow her up to her room and we hang out there.
I wake up to the timer set for 6:45. I jolt up and turn it off, then grab the picnic basket. I pull on my leather jacket and my helmet, strap the basket on the back and speed to Andi's house. Kat's car is in the driveway. I walk up to the door and ring the doorbell, fidgeting nervously.

I am still sleeping.

"Hey Jason." I say as I walk out the door. He smiles at me. "Hey Kat. What are you doing here?" He asks. I shrug. "Hanging out." I say and brush past him to my car. I climb in my car and speed away, dialing Alex's number as I do so. It starts ringing as I wait for him to pick up.
I fidget nervously inside the entrance hall as Andi comes down the stairs. "Hey." I say, offering her my hand. She takes it and I lead her to my motorcycle. I hand her a helmet and hop on. She climbs on behind me and we're off.

Man! I took the time to do my hair and now its all messed up in this helmet! oh well. right now I can't think of that because I'm speeding down the road with my arms wrapped tightly around Jason. there's a picnic basket behind me and that makes me smile with excitement. We stop at the park and take of our helmets. Jason looks like a movie star as he gets of his bike. I picture him taking off his helmet in slow motion. "Follow me." he smiles, taking my hand, walking through the grass with the picnic basket in his empty hand. It already seems like a perfect night as we sit on the laid out blanket smiling and talking. When it gets dark we lay down and stare at the sky, Jason's arm around me as i lean into his chest. i look up at him and he looks at me. Then he scoots his body down some and kisses me. For a while our lips keep moving and then a man's voice above us says, "haha look what i've found." confused i look up to see who it is. Next thing i know im getting knocked out.
Again i wake up on the floor by the couch to my phone and no one's home but me. I look at the caller ID and it's kat. "kat?" "Hey Alex! Wanna hang out?!" I sit up and lean against the couch. "um. sure." i say, still groggy from my sleep. "i'll come right over." I get ready to go and hop in my car. I pass my dad as i pull out of the drive way and head over to kat's. I park my car, get out, and walk up ad rap on the big door. I wait for a little and no one comes so i knock again. confused i pull out my phone and call kat. i hear her ringtone from behind me on the ground. why is her phone out here? wrried i open the door and look in side and gasp. There's definently been a fight in here. what if her dad hurt her somehow? or someone else? what happened?!

It was just a date. Just a normal date, but something always has to happen. "ANDI!" I scream and launch my fist at the guy holding her. He dodges and grabs my arm, twisting it around. He pushes me to my knees. "Listen here, kid. You can't stop me. Nobody can stop me." He growls, shoving me down. I gasp as my face hits the ground with a smack. My nose starts bleeding as I jump to my feet and spin around. I look for the guy, but he's gone. I groan and fall to my knees. Suddenly, my phone begins ringing. I pull it out to see Kat's caller I.D. "Kat!" I answer it frantically. I get even more frantic when I hear her voice. "JASON! JASON, SOMEONE'S HERE!" she screams, then I hear a pained shriek. "KATRINA!" I shout, leaping to my feet as I hear static, then the line disconnects. I jump on my bike and race to Kat's house. I see a man racing down the street so I get off my bike to follow him on foot. As I get closer, I see taht he has a limp Kat in his arms. "HEY!" I shout, but suddenly, he dissapears. I freeze, then fall to my knees with tears in my eyes. Two of the people I care about, gone. I scream and launch my fist into the ground before collapsing there, on the sidewalk and curling into a ball. I rock myself back and forth as the memories I've tried to repress come rushing back. Memories of my parents, killed before my eyes.
I open my eyes blearily. I look around as my eyes adjust to the dim light. I'm in a cell. I look down and almost get sick. My wrist is bent at an odd angle and I can see a little bit of the bone. I look away as I stand up and walk to the bars. Where the heck am I?!
