Brennen's pov
Things have been kinda crazy the past few days. I just hope they start to get better. Everyone is still very worried about Alex and Logan. I just hope both of them can start to have more fun in life. I've been taking care of Alex around the clock, or at least as much as she'll let me. Colby's been doing the same for Logan, but it's been hard for him because she's been having outbursts lately. "Baby, do you need anything?" I asked Alex.
"No."
"Okay, well if you need something just yell. I'm going to go get breakfast," I said. She nods as she turns the TV on and watches DBZ. I walk downstairs and find Jake, Corey, Aaron, and Sam in the kitchen.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, brother," Corey said.
"Sup," Jake said.
"How's Alex?" Sam asked.
"She's fine. She's watching DBZ right now."
"Are Colby and Logan alive? I haven't seen them in days," Aaron said.
"I think they are....let's hope they are."
"Maybe they're just doing the nasty?" Jake said.
"I highly doubt that," Sam said.
"Jake....why do think this way?" I asked.
"Just trying to use my head, brother," he said. I noticed Alex walked downstairs. She looked exhausted. I rushed over to her.
"Hey, baby girl. How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Tired and hungry."
"C'mon let's get you something to eat," I said walking over to the fridge. "What do you want baby? Do I need to go get you food?" She pulled stuff out to make kielbasa and potatoes. "Baby, you should rest. I can make this for you," I insisted. She nodded and sat next to Sam. I started cooking her food.
"So, how much sleep have you gotten since you've been home?" Corey asked.
"Not much....too many night terrors....."
"Did Ohm ever find your medication?" Aaron asked. I handed Alex her food and she started eating.
"Yeah, it won't be here till tomorrow though. Thanks, Brennen."
"You're welcome," I whispered kissing the top of her head.
"Have you guys talked to Logan?" Alex asked.
"No. The last time I even heard her voice she was yelling at something. I couldn't tell if it was Colby or not," Sam said.
"I didn't even know she could yell. She always seemed so chill," Jake said.
"Sounds about right," Alex said as she finished eating and rinsed her plate off. Logan came downstairs and Colby came right after her.
"Hey, Lo."
"Hey," she said smiling. She grabbed water and started drinking it.
"Logan, you need to eat," Colby said crossing his arms. She rolled her eyes. "You haven't eaten in two days!"
"Lo...could you please eat something," Alex said. She rolled her eyes and went into the living room. Colby followed her again.
"Logan!" he yelled.
"What?! Oh, I need to eat. Look, I told you I'm fine and I'm fine! Leave me the fuck alone!!" she yelled punching a hole in the wall. Colby grabbed her wrists and pulled her against him.
"Oh shit," Corey said putting his hands on the side of his head. Alex started shaking as she hid behind me. Logan broke down and started crying. Luke ran into the room after all of the commotion.
"What the hell happened?" he asked. Alex just points over to Colby and Logan. He walked over to them as I hugged Alex. "What's wrong, Logan?"
"I-I can't control it, Dad," she said. Colby tried to calm her down. He pointed over to the wall and Luke's eyes widened. He walked out of the room and came back with a trunk.
"Logan, I think we're going to need these again," he said handing her the trunk. She was crying even harder and took the trunk to her room. Alex wouldn't stop shaking as she looked at Luke.
"Is Lo going to be okay?"
"She's fine, angel. Don't worry about it," Luke said hugging her. "Everything is okay."
"What's in the trunk?" Colby asked.
"Her gloves," Luke said.
"Gloves?" I asked.
"Just something to help with her outbursts."
"No offense, but how are gloves gonna help that?" Jake asked pointing to the wall.
"Brennen, why don't you take Alex upstairs," Luke suggested.
"Um yeah. Come on Alex." I grabbed her hand as we went to her room.
"Hey, Brennen, do you think you could record while I make a new video?"
"Absolutely," I said. She smiled as she went to her closet and pulled out her guitar. I started recording with the camera.
"Hey, guys. I know I've been gone for a while, but I will talk about that in another video. Anyway, I have a cover for 'Can You Feel My Heart' by Bring Me the Horizon." She started playing and it sounded so beautiful.
