Dark horse- Katy Perry ( Feat. Juicy J.) the song itself doesn't have anything that going on, just sounds cool with the chapter. :)

"Pj?!" I ask while yelling and standing to my feet. Instead of answering me, he wraps his arms around into a hug. I hug back, and before I know it I'm crying again. "H-how?... You've been here this whole time?" I ask suddenly feeling angry with myself. He's been here all this time, alive. He was never dead.

"Yeah." Pj mumbles not letting go of me. I just hugged him even tighter. At the time, I didn't care about Spencer being with in a five mile radius of me, or the fact that I would have to face Josh and tell him the truth. The only thing that matters to me right now is my older brother. "I missed you so much." Pj murmurs into my hair. I back away just to look at him, and he has tears in his eyes too.

"You have will not believe what's happened this past year." I tell him, as I sit back down.

"Well, you can tell me once we get back in my house. I don't want us to freeze." He tells me, and leads me to a hut on the beach. Pj opens the door and walks in. It's quite small, about the same size of my old bedroom. We both sit on, what I assume, is his bed.

"I still can't believe you're alive..." I mumble to myself lolling at the window in front of me.

"Wait...does the whole family think that I'm dead?" He asks, looking up at me. Another boom of thunder is heard, and I wince, before responding.

"Did." I say looking at my white high heels, closing my eyes.

"W-what do you mean?" He asks, looking panicked.

"Listen, its a long story, so it'll be faster if you tell me what happened on that ship first." I say and he sighs, and opens his mouth to respond.

FLASHBACK...

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! No!" I yell in frustration at the arcade game in front of me. That's the third time I've died in the last five minutes! I insert another dollar, and hit the start button. I'm about to win when suddenly, a loud crash is heard, and causes me to fall over. I groan and rub head. What the heck was that? I stand back up, and suddenly an alarm goes off, and I put my hands up in surrender. I look around, and everyone in the arcade runs out. What's going on? I walk out of the arcade and into the hall, and I see that everyone's running up to the top deck. What? I close my eyes in confusion, and suddenly an announcement went off saying the worst thing it could have said.

"The ship is sinking, I repeat the ship is sinking. Everyone please calm down, and calmly make their way to the main deck." I snap my eyes open, and quickly run up the stairs. I look up to see families scrambling to get into lifeboats. I spring into action, and run to find a free life boat. I spend about five minutes just trying to find my family, but they're no where to be seen. I start breathing more heavily, trying to process everything that's happening.

"Boy, do you want to live, or not!?" The captain asks me. Before I have time to think, I'm shoved into the last lifeboat, headed in the middle of the ocean, not knowing that I wouldn't see my family again for longer than I thought.

FLASHBACK OVER...

As I finish telling her everything, I can see her start to think, and go into her own world. I wave my hand in front of her, and she flinches and looks backs at me. "Oh, sorry." Teddy apologizes. I still can't believe she's right here in front of me. My family thinks I'm dead, and yet, I thought the same thing about them. Speaking of which...

"Hey Teddy...hows everything in Denver? Is everyone okay?" I ask curiously, and her eyes widen. Well, that's never good.

"Umm... this is going to take a while, so get comfortable." She sighs leaning back on the bed. Oh boy...
