Okay, Alex. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to finish my bucket list......after I get drunk with Brendon, Ryan, Kayla, Pete, Hailey and Ali.
Wow that was a crap load of people.

"What the f*** did that b***** do?"
Maybe getting Kayla, Ali and Brendon drunk was a bad idea. I called everyone to come to BAR-salona, and they came mere minutes later. 
"Brendon, I told you already, it's nothing." I took a swig of my wine and let out a sigh. Ali said nothing, but kept drinking. I didn't think alcohol is such a good idea for Ali right now, but I didn't say anything. Brendon snakes his arm around Ali, and she moves around into his arm.
"Can we talk about something else?" Kayla ask, drinking her daiquiri. 'Like, we should play a game."
Ryan snuggles into Kayla's shoulder. "You mean like, spin the bottle?"
I grimaced at the fact I was the only one who didn't have someone. "We can....."
"Actually." Pete says. "We should play I have never."
Hailey pats Pete on his muscular shoulder. "Yes!"
"Okay, I'll go first." Brendon says, removing his arm from around Ali, and sits up. "I have never....had sex in a bathroom."

A few mummers go around the room, and everyone groans. Ryan takes a sip of his drink and says nothing. Kayla laughs at him, and he blushes. Someone comes through the door and leaves it open.
We all stare over at Brendon, whose eyes are wide towards the door.

"Go on, Beebo." I tell him. "Do it."

"I-I can't......not here."

"You can."

"HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF CLOSING THE GOSH DARN DOOR?!" Brendon yells and the man gives him a strange look. "Oh well..." 

"........imagine." I say.

Brendon doesn't get it. So Hailey says, "As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor....."

"And I can't help but to hear...." Ali winks at Beebs.

"No I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words....." Ryan says quietly.

We sing until our lungs give out, and drink too much alcohol. I kinda wish I were by myself, but that wouldn't be safe. Holy Ham Sandwhich! My mom hasn't heard from me yet!
I sneak to the bathroom, under Ali and Kayla's close supervision, and check my now charged IPhone.
1000 missed calls  

Voicemail box is full.

I check my voicemail, and hear my mother's voice:

Alex! Please call me! Where the heck are you???? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL????
Alex! Please don't be dead, you are getting an earfull from me later.

Alex, baby, call me.

Alex.....I need to tell you......your brother.......he....he has cancer.

NO! Victor is only 7! Well, I guess now he's 8, but still, that's too young. I dial my mom's number and call her. Ali pops in with a quick, "Hey." but stops when she sees me. Her face crumbles.

"Lex? You OK?" She mouths.

I shake my head no, and she asks what's wrong. I pull a notepad out of my purse and write.

My brother has cancer 

Woah. Oh my god, is he okay?

I don't know

"Hello?"

"Mom? It's Alex!"

"Oh my God." She moaned through the phone. "Alex, baby are you OK?"

"I'm fine, I guess, what happened to Victor?"

There's a pause in the conversation. "He, um, He..."

"He what?" My heart starts pounding, my head shouting NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO 

"He.....He only had a few months."
"Mom."

"He died on January 1st."


Patrick's POV:

I went to call Alex, but her phone was busy. Pete told me I should talk to her and tell her everything. I just can't believe the girl came back from the dead and found me like that. 

I haven't dated anyone since Alex. I stopped singing or really doing anything. 

I missed her.

I needed her.

I need her.

More than anything else.
