Yahoo! News: Is 24-year-old model, Alexandra Mitchell dead?

TMZ Website: Hottie Model Alexandra Mitchell Missing? Dead?!?!?

Complex Magazine: R.I.P. Alex Mitchell?

E! News: Young Model Alexandra Mitchell New Victim of Death Hoax? The close friend to rapper Drake might be the target of a twitter trend gone wrong.

Aubrey and his crew were setting up the hookah and Chubbs turned on the TV. Odd enough being on TV, they liked to watch it when they had the down time.

Ryan: Ohhh!!!! Turn on Orange Is The New Black!!

Niko laughed on the corner of the couch as Chubbs started flipping through the channels [because he didn't know it was on Netflix] then they stubbed on E! after they thought they saw Alex's name.

Chubbs: Aye, Aubs! Here go your girl.

Aubrey stopped setting up the hookah hose and paid full attention to the TV.

[On The TV]

Giuliana Rancic: Is it true? Model Alexandra Mitchell victim of a twitter hoax or is the rising star really dead?

The room went silent.

Courtne (Text Message To Aubrey): I keep hearing that Alexandra is dead.

Everyone looked at Aubrey. Truthfully, he was all tapped out with Alexandra's health scares. But his friends new he wasn't the type of person to let the girl that's walking around with his ring just be dead. She stormed out of his Toronto condo only a day ago and wasn't heard from since. There was no missing person's report and no one called him and most of all there was no death certificate.

Ryan: Yo..

Aubrey got up and walked to the bathroom to think. Not sulk. Think. Alexandra was missing again. Or Alexandra was dead. Dead and gone. Alexandra stormed out of Aubrey's place

[Flashback]

Alexandra and Aubrey were at dinner celebrating Alexandra's store opening.

Alexandra: Did you think you would ever get to this place? In life.

Aubrey (Taking a sip of champagne): I should be asking you that question.

Alexandra (Laughing): I know but, really, did you ever think life would get this good?

Aubrey: Yeah. With as much work as I was putting in and the type of people I surrounded myself with.

Alexandra: Is this the type of romance you wanted?

Aubrey (Smiled): You're the type of woman I want.

Alexandra smiled at Aubrey.

[Now]

He didn't even know where she was. He didn't know to mourn her or to look for her. Or focus on himself.

[In The Living Room]

Ryan: Yo, that can't be true. TMZ always has the death certificate.

Chubbs: She looked mad as hell when she stormed out the other day.

Ryan: What are we gonna do about Aubs?

Noah: What do you mean?

Ryan: His fiancé. His girlfriend. Alexandra is gone. Missing. Or dead. And his album is coming up. Like I'm not the publicist here.

Noah: You're right.

The guys all just sat there.

There was no other word on Alexandra. It was the most eerie and mysterious story about a celebrity ever. But this was a good thing. Yes there was no confirmation or word from Alexandra but Aubrey's name was out of it. Aubrey literally had nothing to do with it. She wasn't the "Rapper's Missing Girlfriend". She wasn't even his friend on all sites but one. She had NO ties to him. And the guys liked her. They respected her. They even thought through all her bullshit and back and forth and indecisiveness that she was good for Aubrey. She was harmless. But they were also about his brand. About his name.

Aubrey thought about his weekend. He thought about his performing and the drinks and the drugs and the girls. The girls he met with. The girls he took photos with. The girls he slept with. He had sex like 4 times this week and it wasn't with Alexandra. All of the stress to do better. To surpass was getting to him and he didn't show it in public or even around his boys because he was taking it out on Alexandra. And it wasn't obvious signs. He was doing it underhanded and subliminally.

[Flashback]

Alexandra, Aubrey, Ryan and Shay were on a special double date. Something Ryan and Aubrey had never done before but this is the most serious they've ever been with girls. Why not share the romance (HA!)

Alexandra: Oh my god. Shay, your work on Pretty Little Liars is PHENOMENAL. I was thinking about having some of your merch in my store. It could be like a little insider.

Shay: That sounds perfect. We can talk details after dinner! I love that idea!!

Ryan (With his arm around Shay): Aww. Look at you two. Best friends.

Alexandra and Shay smiled. Alexandra looked at Aubrey who was taking a picture of himself. Alexandra put her hand on Aubrey's leg to make him stop so he leaned away from her then put his phone in his pocket. Alexandra stared at him and would've brought attention to their tension but the waiter came back with their drinks.

[Now]

Foolishly, Aubrey was going through all the tweets about Alexandra's vanishing.

"Alex missing again?"

"Oh my god. What happened to her?"

"Why is everyone so worried about it? She's just some model."

That's exactly how Aubrey was treating her. And it wasn't like he was a bad guy it was just...

[Flashback]

Nia: Something has to self destruct or else he does.

Alexandra (Wiping her tears): But that's our relationship. We worked hard for it.

Marina (Putting her hand on Alexandra's shoulder): It's not like you're losing it. But this will all be over in a couple months.

Alexandra cried in her friends' arms. She felt like the world was a table cloth with fine, priceless china stacked on top of it. And Aubrey had just yanked the cloth from under the china. Her whole world was crashing down around her. She felt the relationship slowing down and becoming dull but this felt like the point of halting.

[Now]

Noah knocked on the door and Aubrey opened it.

Noah: Hey, I'm gonna go work on the album. Let me know if you need anything.

Aubrey shook his head and Noah walked away from him. Aubrey thought about the last time Alexandra walked away from him.

[Flashback]

Aubrey: It's not your album.

Alexandra: But it's your tour. How are you gonna release an album then go on a tour? You constantly pushing albums back is unprofessional. It's unrealistic.

Aubrey: Just like every time you wanna runaway and sleep with your ex, you close down your store. Just like you thinking you could get back with him and not be a junkie again.

Alexandra (Choking up): Wow.

Aubrey wasn't even backing down. Alexandra grabbed her bag with eyes full of tears and ran away from Aubrey. Aubrey never even called after the fight. Once he cooled off he called a couple of girls to hang out with but he didn't have sex with them.

[Now]

Aubrey called Alexandra's cell phone.
