Somewhere In Neverland

Fifteen.

Alex's P.O.V.

When the bell rang to end school, I raced out of school and too Jack's car to find everyone already there, surprisingly. Breathless, I jumped in the passenger seat and Jack peeled out of the parking lot. "Let's check the house first," I said, my eyes wildly scanning the streets hoping to see her. "You really think she'll go to the house?" Zack said, and I snapped my eyes over to him.

"Zack, you may not know Arie as well as us, but yes, she would go to the house. She'd want to be away from the outside world." Jack said quickly, placing his hand on my shoulder. I groaned and slipped down into the chair, wishing Jack would drive faster.

We finally pulled up at the house, and everyone jumped out and ran to the front door. It was locked. "Uhm, why's the door locked?" I asked, suddenly becoming worried. Something didn't feel right. Jack fumbled through is keys and finally jammed one into the lock and opened it.

Something definitely did not feel right. The air felt thick. Immediately everyone scrambled around looking for our Arie. My Arie. "WHO THE FUCK TOOK MY WHSKEY?!" I heard Zack yell from the kitchen and then my anxiety rose a shit ton.

"ARABELLA WHERE ARE YOU?!" I screamed, running up the stairs. "I love you, Alex" I heard a small, drunken murmur. I sighed in relief and opened the door to our bedroom.

"Arie, thank god. I thought we weren't gon-OH MY GOD ARABELLA NO!" I sprinted over to her, but somehow Jack and Rian had gotten there before me. Zack held on to me, like I was going to fall and I heard Rian dialing 911 on his phone. I felt faint and Zack kept saying something to me but I couldn't hear him.

Images kept flashing through my head. I saw a little piece of paper at the corner of the side table. I walked towards and picked it up, reading it slowly. I collapsed and Zack immediately was at my side, along with Jack, and picking me up. The quickly dragged me down to the car and I saw the paramedics rushing in. Rian jumped in and Jack quickly drove to the hospital.

Now we play the waiting game.

Jack's P.O.V.

I was tired, exhausted and all I wanted to do was know if Arie was okay. We had been sitting here for three hours, with no word from anyone. Rian and Zack were laying across three chairs each and sleeping. I giggled a little and snapped a picture to put up on instagram later. I looked over at Alex. I was really worried about him. He hadn't said anything since he found Arie, nor has he moved except to walk out of the car and sit down.

He looked lifeless, his eyes had purple bags under them and they were all red and puffy. I knew exactly what was going through his mind, and I didn't know what to say or do to help him. I moved closer to him and gently placed my hand on his shoulder. His snapped up to look at me, the most movement I've seen him do since we found Arie.

He looked at me, for a few minutes before breaking down. "J-Jack...I-I need h-her. S-she can't leave like T-Tom. I-I love her Jack. I m-miss T-Tom." He spurted it out between sobs and I just held him. God, no wonder everyone thinks we're gay. I giggled a little and Alex looked up at me confused. "No worries babe, just realizing why everyone thinks we're gay" I smiled down at him. He looked at how we were sitting and then he laughed. God, I'm glad I could make him smile. Suddenly a shoe was thrown at us at hit me square in the chest. Alex sat up and started laughing uncontrollably.

"Will you two shut the fuck up? We're trying to sleep!" Zack whisper-yelled and it just made me and Alex laugh harder. Rian sat up and groaned, along with Zack and they got up to come make us shut up. Then we heard someone clear their throat and we all slowly looked up at the man in the lab coat.

Here it was, news that would make us or break us.

Alex's P.O.V.

I was starting to distract myself from the thoughts and memories of my brother. This is why I loved these guys to death. No matter how bad the situation, they could always make me laugh. They could always make me feel happy and loved. Then, the doctor stepped out and that's when it all came back to me.

I started shaking, badly and Jack just placed his arm around my shoulders while Zack sat next to me. Rian, of course, spoke to the doctor first. "How's our Arie, doctor?" He said, trying to sound confident but his voice broke towards the end of his question. The doctor looked at us and smiled, "I'm glad Arabella has found you four. She's had no one since her father died."

I looked up her dad died? Why wouldn't she tell me this? Well, I can't be too mad, I haven't told her about Tom either. I pushed my thoughts out to listen to the doctor. "She's okay, she will live. We had to stitch and bandage her arms, and pump her stomach. She will live, but she needs to be monitored overnight. You can all go in to see her."

I breathed a sigh of relief and then everyone got up and quickly walked towards her room. Zack opened the door and practically ran into her room as did everyone else. I slowly walked in, not sure what to expect.
