"What the hell?" Lexy snapped, opening her window and glaring.

"This was an emergency," Devon responds, landing on the floor with a thud.

"Shhh!" Lexy places a finger to her lips.

"Sorry.." Devon whispers.

"You fucking asshole!" Lexy smacks his arm, "You gave Jake a panic attack! He thinks you're missing!"

"Okay, first: OW!" Devon yells, "Second, it was the heat of the moment, I don't even know why I'm here!" Devon defends, rubbing his arm.

Lexy crosses her arms and glares at the dark-skinned boy. Pissed.

"Devon, I swear to God!" Lexy groans, walking over to Sunday's bed.

Suddenly, the door bursts open and Lexy and Devon nearly scream.

"Hey, princess, I was wondering if you-" Jake pauses and looks around the room, startled. "Alexandra.. What the fuck?" She yells.

"Jake, it isn't what you think- and- did you get a haircut?" Lexy says, noticing Jake's now-shoulder-length hair.

Jake smiles and does a little spin. "It only took five minutes to cut off ten inches!" He giggles. "Like the curtain bangs?"

"Yes," Lexy responds.

Jake's smile falls and she raises an eyebrow.

"Who-" Jake begins, pointing at Devon.

"That's my friend Devon, the one you talked to on the phone, remember?"

Jake seems to be deep in thought before it looks like a lightbulb went off in her head. "Oh shit! Yeah!" Jake says, slamming the door shut. "Hi, Devon!"

Devon gives an awkward wave, unsure of what to do in this situation.

"Listen, I was just about to call Jake and let him know where Devon is," Lexy says.

Devon opens his mouth to object, but Lexy shushes him.

She pulls the phone out from under Sunday's pillow and begins to type in a number.

"Hey, Jake. I- .. Yes?" Lexy begins to talk slower, so Jake must be saying something. "N-No! No! Nothing like that... Um, I found Devon." Lexy says.

Lexy pulls the phone away from her ear as she cringes. She waits a few seconds before hesitantly putting it back to her ear. "Jesus Christ, Jake! You know where the fucking mental hospital is, just come here!" Lexy hangs up.

Jake is sitting on Lexy's bed. He's awkwardly picking at his nails.

"Jake, what's wrong?" Lexy asks, sitting beside her friend.

Jake looks up, tears in his eyes. "I don't like that fucking doll." She admits.

"We don't, either," Lexy says.

"Wait- Jake.. Did you see something suspicious with the doll?" Devon asks.

Jake gulps and nods.

"Like what?" Lexy eagerly asks.

"Well, when I first got a good look at its appearance, it seemed to be peeling. I took it into the bathroom and started to peel its skin. The more I peeled, the more human it looked." Jake explained.

Devon and Lexy shared a glance before Lexy turned to Jake.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Lexy asks.

Jake nods hesitantly.
