ALEX'S POV:

I walk over to the kitchen and see my parents just working in the kitchen. My mom places a plate of food on the table and I eat up. I look at Lucy and she giggles. I feel my phone vibrating and see I got a text from Tuck.

{T for Tuck. A for Alex. M for Munch. E for Emma}

T: meet up now!

A: where?!

E: The cliff

M: Okay. On my way

A: same

I say bye to my parents and head out. I get on my bike and see no one home in Jack's house. I ignore it and headed towards the cliff. During the whole way down, all that is on my mind is Jackson. How is New York is treating her? How is she doing? Did she find some dude to hit off with? My whole mind is spinning. How could I let her leave without even a kiss goodbye. Like a final one. 

"Hey guys, what's important?" I ask them. Tuck points to the bottom of the cliff. A ship.

"Echo says, they're the enemies. We destroyed it with a laser Gary gave us. They say we should stay away from the cliffs," Tuck replies.

"Any news for Jack?" Emma asks us. It's been a week and she's still trying to tell us that we should tell Jack bout the attack.

"Emma, not now," I tell her.

"I think we should tell her. If we don't and she finds out on her own, what you think is going to happen?" She asks.

"I don't know. Come back and help," Munch replies.

"Well, one. She'll probably hate us. Two. She'll be stuck in New York and all our faults," Emma explains.

"Okay and?" I ask her.

"And she might dump your ass," Emma snaps. I look at Tuck and then at Emma. I text Tuck.

A: Help me

T: Can't. I'm scared when she's mad. Last time, my camera broke by her with one punch on it.

A: Thanks man

I look at Emma and she gives me a death glare.

"Okay, I get it. So what do we do?" I ask her.

"That's up to you. You're dating her. I'm just someone who's trying to help the relationship. Be glad I'm helping," she says.

"Technically it's bugging into a love life," I correct her.

"I notice you like her a lot. I'm your best friend. And I'm trying to not let your first relationship fail," she says.

"Thanks, but I still don't know what to do," I tell her.

"Like she would say. Echo first then other problems," she replies.

I sigh and take out my phone again. I look at Jackson's contact. I lock my phone and walk to Tuck.

"Not telling her wow," Tuck comments.

"Thought you like her?" Munch asks.

"I do, but she's doing stuff that is important to her. She needs to do it and I'm letting her so nothing gets in her way," I reply.

"She's good with technology and fixing stuff and ideas and everything really. What happens if we need help?" Tuck asks.

"I guess, one day, I'll have to face it. Won't i?" I ask them. They both nod and Munch puts a hand on my shoulder.

"She'll understand. Hopefully. And don't worry. She'll hate all of us," Munch reassures me. Some reason, that doesn't help.

"Listen man, Echo needs us. And you will have to face her. Tell the truth. But we need a plan. I'm calling it. Plan A," Tuck says. I laugh and look at him.

"Ideas?" I ask him.

"Well, you know if it doesn't work, your calling Jackson. So let's hope it works," he says. "The plan is we blow up the enemy's ship. End them," he explains quickly. I look at him and he shows a small container with balls.

"So what?" I ask him.

"We drop these in. Remote. Press boom. Ship gone," he says. I nod at him.

"Let's head out," I tell him. He nods and we walk to the cliff. I grab one container and he grabs the other. We dump the tiny balls into the cliff and they land on different areas on the ship. We head to Munch's car and drive far away. Echo looks at us and we look at him. Tuck pushes the button and the ship blows up. I smile and we all start doing our hand shakes. A little ship like Echo's key comes down.

There's one ship and that's it. He's from my planet. He broke out of our jail and wants revenge on Earth. ~ Echo.

Shit.

"Munch, drive " I demand. Munch starts the car and we head far from the cliff.

We reach my place and sit down in my backyard.

"Call her," Munch says. I look at my laptop and see Jackson online.

"Do we have too?" I ask them.

"Call her," Emma says. I press the video call and it rings. Please don't answer. Her face shows up.

"Hey guys. Gotta be quick. My dorm adviser doesn't want kids online over 10 pm. I got thirty minutes. What y'all need?" She asks.

I smile and she looks at it.

"What's wrong?" She asks.
