When we were young (a Starkid fanfiction)

Held at gunpoint

I woke at 4PM the next day. I know that's late but considering the fact that me and Joey went to bed at 9AM, I think it's pretty good actually. Joey wasn't next to me so I figured he's already awake and probably downstairs. I went to Jaime's room first, which was empty, and I took from her closet a t-shirt and shorts. Of course I didn't remember to bring my own clothes, and I can't spend the whole day in my dress, or in Joey's shirt.

''Good morning'' I greeted when I came downstairs. Everyone was already there.

''Good afternoon'' Joey replied teasing me.

''Very funny'' I replied taking a seat, ''why didn't you wake me up?''

''I tried'' he answered, ''and so did Jaime and Lauren, but no one was successful.''

''Great'' I mumbled taking a sandwich from the table.

''You just got up!'' Darren exclaimed in shock, ''how can you eat right away?''

I replied nothing, just shrugged my shoulders and continued eating. But I was interrupted again.

''I see you found clothes'' Jaime said entering the room, smiling, with more food in her hands.

''Don't tell me it surprises you?'' I replied with a smile. She didn't reply anything, there was really nothing to say. I slept in her house too many times, just like she did at my place, so I knew where everything was. And since she was my best friend, there was really no need for me to ask for anything, what I needed, I took it myself. I remembered I still needed to talk to her about Tyler, but I decided to leave it for when we're alone. That will be a long, detailed conversation.

We spent the rest of the afternoon just laying around, not even talking much, just watching some stupid shows on tv. Jaime's parents called at one point and told her they won't be coming back until tomorrow, so after a short discussion, if you can even call it a discussion, we agreed to spend the night here again. So we put on a movie, opened a few bottles of wine, and we all settled on the couches. We watched about half a movie, when a door bell interrupted. Jaime got up to open it, and seconds later, we heard her scream.

''Jaime?'' Joey called getting up, as well as Tyler. There was no reply, but we heard footsteps. And then they entered the room. There were six of them, all men I suppose, dressed all in black with clown masks on their faces. One of them held Jaime, but as soon as they approached us, he pushed her back to us.

''I suggest you all stay calm if you don't want trouble'' one of the men said. Right, this was really a group that knew how to stay calm and keep their mouth shut.

''What do you want?'' I asked. Typical me, I wasn't thinking they could be dangerous or something, I had to ask.

''The less you know, the better'' other man replied, while two of his friends started walking around, locking doors and stuff.

''Now all of you hand over you cell phones'' the first man spoke again taking out a gun. Wow, okay, now this is serious, and now, I was scared, really, really scared. No one objected to this, we just put all our cell phones on the table and one of them collected it. ''Now I suggest you all take a seat and stay quiet while we make a few phone calls to your parents'' the man continued.

''Our parents? What is this, a kidnap?'' Brian asked, of course, just like me, he also couldn't keep his mouth shut.

''Exatcly'' a man replied. Okay, this I did not expect. I assumed this was a robbery or something, I mean, that is bad also, but at least we'd all be okay, and they'd be caught eventually. But this, this is fucked up. Now we should really be scared. But of course, Brian wasn't, or at least he pretended that he wasn't.
