Old friends, new problems...

~☆ALEX'S POV☆~

I woke up on the couch with Kevin on the floor and Kirstie in one of the armchairs. I streched out and sat up, looking at the clock as I did. "Two, how late was up?" I asked myself digging through my backpack. I grabbed a fresh set of clothes and wandered into the bathroom. After getting ready I decided to call Scott and see what was happening today.

"Hi this is Scott. And Mitch! And we are Scomiche. Sorry we can't take your call but we will call you back. Bye."

That was weird, Scott always picked up on me but this is a first. "Hey buddy, what you doing?" I heard Kirstie ask me from behind. "I tried calling my Daddy but he didn't pick up." I said trying to hold back my tears. "Hey, calm down. Maybe he's still asleep." she said sitting me in an armchair. Maybe but it was highly unlikely, Scott is always up at the crack of dawn, no matter what. "Tell you what, I'll get ready, we'll get Kevin and the rest of the crew and drop in on them." Kirstie said kissing my cheek. I nodded as she disappeared into her bedroom. While she was gone, her phone went off, I peered at it and saw the caller ID was Brealynn. I picked up and waited for her to speak.

"Kirstie. Is that you?"

"No, it's Alex. Kirstie's getting ready right now."

"Hey Ally, I really need you to put either Kirstie or Kevin on the phone, please."

I looked down at Kevin.

"Give me a minute."

I put her on hold and began shaking Kevin by the shoulder. "Hey, alright I'm up dude." he said pushing me off and smiling at me. "Brealynn wants to talk to you." I said handing him Kirstie's cell phone. "Hey." Kevin said and I sat and watched. "What?! He's in the hospital! Why?" Kevin exclaimed jumping off the floor and pacing around the living room. "Ok, ok. We'll be there soon." Kevin said hanging up. "Alex grab your stuff and go wait in the car. Ok?" he asked and I nodded my head. I grabbed my backpack, the car keys and my cell phone and decided to try and call Mitch. I sat in the back of Kirstie's car, waiting on her and Kev but they were taking their time. Meanwhile, I was trying to get a hold of my parents but had no luck. I kept getting Mitch's answer machine.

"Hey, it's Mitch. And Scott. And together we are Scomiche. Sorry I can't take your call but don't worry, I shouldn't be to long. Bye."

"Jesus, will one of you pick up." I said throwing my phone down in frustration. I quickly picked it back up and tossed it in my jacket pocket. Kevin and Kirstie got in the car and we drove to the same hospital I was treated after my attack. We ran inside, Kevin rushing for the receptionist whilst me and Kirstie followed hand in hand. "Excuse me, what floor is Avi Kaplan in?" he asked, "floor 3, room 456." the woman replied and we walked towards the elevator. Once we got to that floor, we frantically searched for Avi and it was Kevin who found him. "Over here guys." he said and we rushed over to him. "Avi!" I exclaimed running over to his bed. Brealynn was already there, clutching Avi's hand as Kirstie looked on, tapping her foot of the floor. "What the hell happened?" Kirstie asked and we all turned to face Avi. "I was shot outside my apartment this morning, the police are on it." he explained.

"Avi, do you know anything about Mitch and Scott cause little dude can't get a hold of them?" Kevin asked pointing at me as I looked into Avi's eyes. "What? Like they won't answer!" Avi exclaimed and I nodded slowly. "Avi, what happened last night when no one could call you?" Kirstie asked leaning on the bed.

"I woke up, I don't know where but I was tied to a chair and Alex's parents where there too. Kirk and Lela. They made me tell them how to get into Scott and Mitch's apartment but I told Brealynn to get Alex out, so he wasn't hurt. They must have taken Scott and Mitch instead. That's maube why I'm shot. They were looking for Alex."
