Deal With It

Kidnapped

A/N: I wanna thank xXsilentloverxX for the cover!

I got into a black dress. I was going to the funeral, went with the guys and we stayed through for the whole thing until everyone left and I stayed sitting down by his new grave. I lost the only father figure I had ever had. He had always told me that I was like a second daughter and that I could always count on him. Drake stood over me and I had burning tears in my eyes, you’d think today would be raining and gloomy, but it was a typical sunny summer day and I hated it to the core. The clouds looked fluffy and everything couldn’t be happier. Isabelle and Rosie would be leaving to Maryland right about now, I thought back to what these people had changed in my life they had made me feel like part of something like a family.

“You know you can cry, right?” Drake sat by me, he wore a tuxedo. “It’s okay.”

“No, it’s not,” I muttered, tears began to fall. “Crying is weak, only stupid people cry.”

“Humanity is pretty stupid.” He chuckled it was sad, I began to brush away the tears furiously.

“Then I don’t want to be human.” I got angry when the tears continued to fall faster and faster until my chest hurt and I couldn’t breath right, he let an arm circle around my shoulders I buried my face in his neck and sobbed tears flowing freely and I, unable to stop them. I, not only cried for Nick, but for every second I had not had my mom with me and for every beating I had taken from Jamie. I cried for the first time since my mom became a druggie and it lasted hours, but Drake held me the entire time and Zack and Jackson stood right there staring at the ground they themselves sad with my loss. In the end fell asleep and woke up in a place I had been in many times before I was in Jackson’s house I looked around to find I was in a room.

I got up walking down stairs into the living room where noise was coming from they were all sitting there with their ties loose on their necks or scattered about with their dress coats thrown on the floor as they we snacking on food and playing video games they were all smiling it was the first time they actually hung out together since they were reunited. I stood there and then Drake turned to look me straight in the eyes, he grinned at me the others turned too.

“You're awake.” Zack gave a goofy smile.

“Looks like you're okay.” Drake smiled.

“Well are you going to just stand there or come over here and beat Zack’s ass in this game?” Jackson gave a gentle smile, the only one that was missing was Brandon’s reassuring smile.

“I have some game, you know?” Zack pouted. “It ain’t fair that you guys have no faith in me.”

“Don’t worry, Zack.” Drake patted his back. “We won’t tell anyone about your losing to a girl.”

“I haven’t lost yet,” Zack exclaimed, but trust me he did, a lot. Drake hung back watching all of us in the end he was the one that kept us together without him we would fall apart, but he had stitched us back together or Zack would be across the country, Jackson would commit suicide from stress, and me...I’d never had said good-bye to Nick properly.

“How about you play?” I asked Drake, he looked at me puzzled.

“Me?” He smiled.

“Yeah, what do you suck so bad you never play?” I demanded, I had played video games just once with him when I was in his house, but he had seemed only to be fooling around.

“You wish.” He got up from the couch and sat next to me on the ground taking a remote controller. “Okay lets go.”

In this game we had to kill each other as many times as possible in a precise time and guess who won, none other than Drake he had over a hundred killings I almost didn’t believe it, but before he could win he quit the game and smiled. “Man, I’m hungry.”
