Chapter 1

*Mature Language*

Alexander's POV

"ALEX! What the hell was that?!" Peggy Schuyler ran after me screaming.

"Nothing, I'm fine. Back off," I spat back at her.

"Yeah, because screaming at your best friends and storming out of a bar, breaking literally everything in your path is totally normal for you," She said with a thick layer of sarcasm in her voice, "Either you tell me exactly what's going on, or you are going to live with your stupid problems forever, eventually ensuring that everyone you know will resent you!"

She looked at the pained look on my face and softened her tone, "Lafayette and John aren't mad. They sent me here to make sure you were ok. They just want you to be happy. If they did anything to upset you, they just want to know."

I looked deep at her face and whispered, "I'm not mad. I'm not mad at them. I just..." I paused, holding in tears. "The you-know-whos would've helped me with stuff like this."

I couldn't bring myself to say their names. It was too painful. I broke down crying in Peggy's arms.

Sarah's POV

I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door. "Come in," I called softly, my voice breaking. I turned my head to see Chloe peeking around the door frame.

"May I join you?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. She looked just about as bad as I felt. Her hair was a mess, her face was blotchy, eyes swollen and puffy, she hadn't even changed her clothes in two days. She looked like her best friends had died which, technically, they had.

My phone buzzed on my nightstand. "Who's that?" Chloe questioned, moving in to sit down next to me on my bed.

"Someone we work with. Don't worry about it, I told them the three of us were going on leave as soon as they left."

"Who? Maybe I want to respond for you. Is it one of my friends?"

"Yeah."

"WHICH ONE?"

"Jon."

"Oooh gimme."

I reluctantly handed her my phone. She and Jon were pretty good friends on the job, so they texted a lot. She recently broke her phone though, so she always used mine to text him.

Jon: Hey give me Chloe

Jon: SARAH GIVE ME CHLOE

Sarah: I'm here

Jon: Sarah or Chloe?

*Sarah has changed their nickname to Chloe*

Chloe: Better?

Jon: Yea fam

Jon: how you holding up?

Chloe: not good. Me and Sarah are having a cry session.

Jon: Yea, losing friends is hard. Especially when you lose 4 of them.

Chloe: Don't forget, we lost a car too. That hit us hard lol.

Jon: XD

Chloe: I would normally invite you over, but I don't think you want to be around three crying messes.

Jon: Yea no thanks friendo

Chloe: Well, how's everything going there without us? We rock the job.

Jon: We have people to fill in for you. It's all good.

Jon: "The Boss" misses you guys though. He always knew you guys were perfect for the job.

Chloe: You know he hates it when we call him that XD

Jon: Fine. He does miss you guys though. So does everyone else. You bring a great energy to the job. You make us all happy :)

Chloe: We should be coming back soon, Jon. And if you're trying to say you miss having parties at our house, fuck you :)

Jon: You see right through me.

Chloe: Tell everyone we miss them!

Jon: I will. Oh, by the way, Ant says hi.

Chloe: Tell him not to almost break his leg at work today like he did last time I was there.

Jon: Ant here. I took Jon's phone. I only almost broke my leg cause you told me to! You cursed me!

Chloe: HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TOLD YOU TO BREAK A LEG. IT WAS NOT JUST ME.

Jon: Whatever. I'm giving you back to Jon.

Jon: I'm back fam.

Chloe: Thank god. Ant is annoying. He is a five year old.

Jon: If you can't deal with him for five minutes, how do you live in the same house as Sarah, the ultimate five year old?!?

Chloe: You've got a good point.

*Jon has changed their nickname to SmartAsFuck*

*Chloe has changed the nickname SmartAsFuck to GayAss*

GayAss: Fuck you.

Chloe: Don't deny the truth! We had to decorate your dressing room with half-naked wrestlers for your birthday AND THE POSTERS ARE STILL UP.

GayAss: Whatever.

GayAss: Listen, Mr. Boss Man told me to tell you not to worry about coming in any time soon. He knows losing a friend is hard, and he can't even imagine losing four at the same time. He also said Allison should especially wait, because she has such a hard, sad part to play that she might not be able to handle it.

GayAss: He's trying to be Mr. Nice Boss Man.

Chloe: Well, make sure to tell him I'll let her know.

Chloe: Oh! And tell Dav that Sarah misses being his character better than him :)

Jon: I did. He said that was an accurate statement.

Jon: I have to go, but tell Sarah and Allison that Lin says hi.

Chloe: I will! Bye!

Jon: Cya, "Peggles".

I had been peeking over Chloe's shoulder for this entire conversation. Jon really was a kind person. I'm glad he's in the play with us. He nails his part every time.

That's when it happened. That's when our lives were about to change forever.
