I sigh, "Yes.. because of JJ." He looks down and he began to tear up. "John B, please don't cry." I walk over towards him, and I pull him into a hug. "We have to head back.." I said as I pull away. We both ran back to them. Pope asks us, "Where did you guys go?" I ignore Pope and I run into the water. JJ comes in after me and so do the rest. We all were swimming until JJ comes up behind me and picks me up, he then throws me into the water. I hit the water, but I quickly swim back up. I swim over to JJ and I climb up on his back. He grabs my legs and held me tightly. I play with JJs hair before a huge wave comes in and knocks us down. I got back up and I walk over to Kie. I whisper to her, "Let's prank the boys by saying there's a shark in the water." She laughs and nods. "3..2..1 There's a shark!!" All the boys were screaming like little girls. "Kie, Alissa!! What the fuck are you doing!! Get out!" Kie and I just fell on the ground laughing. The boys look at each other and they realize what we did. JJ walks over towards me, he whispers in my ear, "your going to regret that.." He whispers while looking at me very seductively.  I bite my lip before, walking away. While walking away, I glance at JJ looking at me. I snap at him, he clears his throat. I shook my head, and I laughed. I laid my towel on the sand, and I asked JJ if he could cover my body in tanning oil. He grabbed the bottle and sprayed it all over my body. He then rubbed it in, and I laid down. Shortly after Kie decided to tan and relax with me. I was peacefully relaxing until, JJ and Popes dumped water on Kie and I. We both scream, and we chase them. JJ yells, "I told you that you would regret that!" I stopped chasing them, and I gave the death stare at JJ. I walked away and sat back down on my towel. After about 35 minutes, we decided to leave the beach. John B dropped everyone off, but JJ asked if he could hangout with me. I was fine with it, but I feel like he's going to bring up JJ and I. Anyways, we made it to my house. And I made sure no one was home, before John B came in. We went to my room, and we laid on my bed. I was just scrolling through my phone. And of course, John B brings up JJ and I. He says, "Are you and JJ official?" I roll my eyes and I reply with, "John B, no we're not. Just stop bringing it up!" He looks furious, "I thought we had some chemistry, because I kissed you is that the problem?" I slap him in the face, "Stop treating me like a girl who's obsessed with you." He looks away, I finish by saying, "We don't have any chemistry, that kiss didn't mean anything.. look, we are best friends! But it's going to have to stay like that." It was awkward after that, everything was just silent. To be honest, I did feel kind of bad. But it was the truth. Shortly after I broke the silence, by asking him if he wanted to have a bonfire with the others. He was down, so I called everyone to meet me at the beach. After they came, we gathered stickers and branches. We piled them up and we lit the fire. We all sat around it and talked about pointless shit. But suddenly, we're heard something moving in the bushes beside us. We didn't think anything of it, probably was just an animal. Until suddenly, a shadow starts waking towards us. The fire showed who the person was, it was Rafe. He had a large, sharp, knife in his hand. I say with a shaky voice, "Rafe, what are you doing?" He stares at me then looks at JJ. He begins walking towards JJ, "Rafe what the fuck are you doing?" He reaches for JJ, but I run over and I jump in front. I feel the pointy knife stab my stomach. I drop to the floor, and Rafe ran away. Everyone ran over to me, I continued to bleed until my head hits the ground.

I woke up, in a hospital bed. I see JJ sitting next to the bed, I noticed his face on his hands. I whisper, "JJ?" He looks up and gets so happy. "Alissa! Oh my god!! Your awake!!" I sightly smile, "What happened..?" He looked down, "Rafe..Rafe stabbed you." I processed what he said, "Rafe.." He nodded. My own brother, wanted to kill me. I just couldn't believe this, how was the real. I took the blanket it off of me and I lifted the hospital gown up. I see that my stomach is stitched up. I cover my body again, as soon as the doctor came into my room. "Oh your awake! Alright here is some medicine, this will help reduce the pain." I grab the pills and I swallow them with water. I rested for a bit until everyone came in. I wave to Kie, Pope, and John B. "How are you feeling Alissa." I smile, "Better than ever." I chit chatted with them, until they left. Of course JJ stayed with me, "JJ.." he looks at me, "I love you." I smiled at me, "I love you too Alissa." I began blushing, JJ got up and walked over. He held my fingers, I slowly got up and I kissed JJ. He moved the hair behind my ear, he continued to kiss me. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, we both pull away. A doctor walks in, "Alright darling, you are set to go. Be sure to rest, and to take your medication." I nod and I got up. I went over to the bathroom, and I got dressed. I grabbed the bag with my medication and I left. I went to the lobby, where I saw John B, Kie, and Pope sitting. I limped my way over to them, "Alissa!!" I walk over and hugged them gently. "Hey guys, let's go to my place. Clearly, Alissa can't go back home." JJ says. I remember that all my things are home, "I need to get my clothes and my necessities though." I say while looking at Pope and Kiara. "Fine, Pope and I will get your things. We can pack all your stuff." I thanked them and we got in the car. John B dropped off Pope and Kie at my house. After 30 minutes they came out with bags fulls of my stuff. "Thank you guys so so much!" They stores everything inside, and we drove to JJs house. We walked in, and immediately smelled alcohol and cigarettes. JJ lays on his bed, I get on the bed and I rest my head on his chest. He places his hand around me. The rest sat in the couch, we honestly were exhausted. We didn't have any plans, especially me, I literally got stabbed. I broke the silence by saying, "I wonder where Rafe is, like is he on a killing spree." JJ looks at the ceiling, "I mean, he looked like he was on drugs. His eyes were blood shot red." Pope says, "Why does he want to kill Alissa though, do you guys have bad blood?" I shook my head, "I mean sure, we hate each other, but not to the point where we want yo kill each other." We all found this so creepy, I just felt so uncomfortable. But I needed to rest, so everyone left. I was laying beside JJ, but my stomachs began to hurt. I groan in agony, "Whats wrong Alissa?" I close my eyes, "My stomach, it's hurting so bad!" He runs to the kitchen and he grabs the bag. He takes the medicine and he grabs a water. I grabs the pills and quickly drank them. I groaned until the pain went away, "Are you okay Alissa." I laid on the bed, and just ignored him. I covered my body with the blanket and I went to sleep.

9:46: I woke up, and my stomach wasn't hurting anymore. JJ was asleep, I didn't want to wake him up. So I went to the bathroom, washed my face and did my makeup. I brushed my hair and got dressed. I finally looked presentable, and I went outside to get some fresh air. I heard the birds chirping, I sat on the chair outside and enjoyed the view. After about 45 minutes, the door opens. "Alissa holy shit!!" I look back with a confused look, "What?" He sighs in relief, "I thought you got kidnapped!" I laugh and shook my head. I noticed that he was sweaty, "Why are you sweaty?" He replies, "Oh I was working out, I woke up while you were in the bathroom." He flexes his muscles, "Alright calm down fuck boy." He chuckles and goes back inside. I decide to FaceTime Kie, I asked if she wanted to hangout, we can maybe get some lunch. She agreed, so we decided to meet at around 12:30.

1 hour minute later: I told JJ I was going to see Kie, and I left. I tried to run, but my stomach decided not to. I made it over to the place, and saw Kie sitting. "Hey Kie!!" "Hey Alissa, are you okay?" "Yeah I took some pills, but I feel much better." The waiter walks up, "Hey girls what can I get ya?" I skimmed the menu, "I'll take a salad with a water please." Kie got the same thing, after 10 minutes. Our salsa came out and Kie and I dug in. "Are you and JJ official?" I slightly smile, "I don't know, I really don't know." I look at Kie, "What about you and Pope, are you guys official ?" She tries to hide the fact that she's blushing, "Maybe.." I squeal, "Shut the fuck up!" She laughs, "Oh my god! I'm so happy for you!" After a few minutes, we finished our salads and we left. We began walking home, until my phone buzzed. I take my phone out, and see a message from an unknown number. I opened it and see photos of.. bodies. "Kie.." she turns her head. And I show her the photos, "Alissa what the fuck.. who sent you those?" I stammered, "I-I don't know.." I looked through the photos and I see so many familiar people. Such as people I've seeing working at places I've being at. I immediately called JJ, "JJ hello?!" "Yeah, Alissa?" I panicked, "Meet Kie and I at the cafe fast!" I ended the call and waited for JJ to arrive. After about 15 minutes I saw JJ walking, so I ran over to him and sat him down. "Okay what the hell is going on?" I grabbed my phone and showed him the images, his eyes immediately widen. "Holy shit, what in the actual fuck is this." I stammered, "I-I don't know.. it came from an unknown number." He was skimming through the photos, and he also noticed there was familiar people. He looks at me, "Do you think this is from Rafe." To be honest thinking that Rafe could be a serial killer is so scary, "I don't know, I hope not." We sat there in disbelief, "What are we going to do you guys?" Kie says in a shaky tone, "I have no clue, but something is telling me..it's Rafe." They both look at me, I could tell they were shocked that I said that. My phone buzzed again, it was another photo. But this photo, the head was blurred. Why was this photo blurred, but the others weren't.. "Is it another photo?" I turn my phone facing them, they both shook their heads in shock. "Alissa I mean, I know your parents don't live with you. But you need to tell them." I look away, and frown. "Alissa.." I sigh and reply, "My parents went missing when I was 15, their gone." JJ and Kie look at each other. "Oh my god, Alissa I'm so sorry." I quickly changed the subject, I didn't want this to escalate. "Uh..well what are we going to do with these photos?" They both stayed silent, we all didn't know what to do. "They get going guys, let's go to my place and invite Pope and John B." JJ says, we all nod and we left. While walking back my phone buzzed, "Still have no idea?" Said the message. I got really confused, was I supposed know who it was. I quickly shut my phone, and put it in my pocket. We finally arrived to his place and we sat on his couch. We waited another 8-10 minutes before John B and Pope arrived. When they walked in they noticed how we had a confused and concerned look on our faces. "What's up guys?" Pope says while looking confused. I sigh, "Ok so while Kie and I were just hanging out, I got text messages.. the text messages were photos of dead bodies." Pope and John B's eyes widen, John B chuckles, "Haha, what are you talking about?" I grab my phone and showed them the photos. "Holy shit, you wet not lying." John B says while looking through the photos. "We have no clue who it is." Pope looks at me, "Tell your parents about this Alissa, this is serious." I look down, and I fidget with my fingers. "My parents went missing when I was 15, but can we not talk about it. "No, yeah of course." Pope says while looking at me with a heartfelt look. Kie says, "I mean we need to know who it is, clearly she's in dange-' My phone suddenly buzzes, "Is it really that hard, just think." They all look at my phone, "What does it say Alissa." JJ says in a panicked tone, "It says, "Is it really that hard, just think." I don't know what's going on." I whisper while my legs began shaking. JJ looks over at me and puts his hand on my thigh to stop the shaking. He whispers into my ear, "It's okay, we will figure this out." He grabs my hand and holds it gently. John B says, "What the hell are we going to do?" Kie replies with, "Let's turn these into the police station." I shook my head, "They can't figure shit out with some photos. It's pointless if we tried to do anything." It was silent for a few seconds before my phone buzzed. The message read, "March 18 2018.." It was a date, the date my parents went missing...
