Previously on DownSide….
Alex's leg knocked a glass of water which sat on her coffee table.
She reached out to the water, it water stopped in the air.
Alex closed her hand, and then the water dropped to the ground.
The Andison Family, 2006:
June kissed her mom on the cheek,
"Love you Mom!" she yelled from the front gates.
Her mother waved to her daughter, June waved back. A little smile was on her face.
She was off to her friend's home.
Her mother watched June walk down the street.
"Rachel Andison?" the police officer asked Rachel (June's Mom)
The Police had come knocking at her door an hour later.
"Yes, it is"
Rachel had a bad experience with the police, it wasn't actually, and it was her Husband. He was always in a drunken rage. His drinking started after Rachel had a miscarriage with their baby boy.
"You're husband is in the police station…again"
"Let me guess…Drink Driving?" She rolled her eyes at the police officer.
"No, murder"
A chill was sent up Rachel's spine.
The Smith Family, 2006:
"How was your first day at school?" Melinda asked her daughter, Alex.
"It was fine, everyone was friendly, one person stared but it was all good"
The brown haired girl chucked her backpack on her sofa and turned on her TV.
Melinda was a stay at home Mom, Alex was only 12, her older brother was 20 and living in Seattle.
The family originally lived there in Seattle, but Melinda's husband was given a job offer in Boston. Like he normally would do, he accepted the offer and they moved to Boston, first thing.
"I got a call from Dylan!" Melinda shouted to Alex.
Melinda was collecting the washing from the washing machine.
"What did her say?" Alex asked eagerly
"He settled into his new apartment, and his girlfriend is going to move in as well"
Alex's smile turned into a frown. She hated his girlfriend. You know the wicked step mother in those fairytales, well to Alex, Dylan's girlfriend was an evil girlfriend. She was always mean to Alex.
Present Day
Taylor (AN: We haven't heard from Taylor since Until We Bleed) was walking down the street, with a girl. Ah! Typical Taylor.
"Mandy, I like you a lot…" He said looking into the girls brown eyes.
The girl smiled.
"But it's not going to work out"
Mandy ran away crying.
Justin skated past with Nick.
"Smooth one McNeedy" Nick laughed. (AN: I made that up on the spot, it's not a canon on Grey's Anatomy)
"She was old news any way's"
"You sent her away crying" Justin said while he skated
"Meh" He replied.
Nick rolled his eyes.
Justin felt bored, after a period of time, he realized how to turn off his invisibility.
He snuck away from the group and ventured into the street, stealing everything on the stools, not until he saw a man doing the same thing… and getting away with it.
Justin skated to the man and caught his attention by poking his shoulder.
The man turned around aggravated.
"I'm the Invisible Man, No one sees me"

Dawn Remington sat down and typed away on her computer.
She was a business woman, worked for a big company, while her estranged husband, worked as at a grocery store.
They were to be divorced as soon as Dawn collected the papers.
Justin had taken this hard on himself.
"Mom can you…"
"Not now, I'm working, and I'm behind"
Justin sighed as he walked away with his new skateboard.
He was only 11, Justin walked to the skate park.
His friend Nick met him there to show him some new tricks.
As Nick grinded the skateboard on one of the poles.
But half way through it, he falls onto the concrete.
"Oh!" He cried out in pain.
The Roberts Family, 2006:
Lexi ran in her family's apartment, after school, holding up a test paper.
"Mom, Mom, Mom!" She shouted.
Her mother, Samantha, emerged from her bedroom. Her eyes were red and puffy.
"I got my first A+" Lexi smiled.
Samantha smiled a little.
"Lexi, sweetheart, please sit down"
They sat facing each other, in two separate armchairs.
"Your Father was sent away for awhile, I just got a call and He died, in the war"
Lexi felt as if someone had punched her in the stomach.
She was in shock.
Samantha continued crying.
The Jones Family, 2006:
"Happy Birthday!" yelled Lydia Jones.
"Mom, it's not my Birthday until next week"
"I got you something early, I saw you checking it out in the book store" Lydia said as her daughter unwrapped her gift.
It was a book.
"Activating Evolution, Thanks Mom, I really wanted this" Breanna said gratefully.
"It's alright sweetie"
Lydia walked out of the room.
Breanna opened the book and started to read.
4 hours later, it was time for bed.
"Night Brea" The scientist told said to his daughter.
He switched off the light and closed the door behind him.
Breanna grabbed the book from under her bed and opened it onto the page she stopped on before.
Her hand formed a blue energy ball to be her torch.
Present Day…
Breanna was sitting in the police office.
"How exactly did you get into these buildings Breanne?" Matt Parkman asked her.
"It's Breanna and that's for me to know and you to figure out"
"You've been trespassing and not co-operating with police, I suggest you tell me Bree"
"It's Bre-anna about as an American, I have a right to plead the 5th" she said.
Matt Parkman tried to get into her mind, it was unsuccessful.
"I'm not letting you out until you tell me how you got into heavily guarded building" Matt Parkman shouted.
"Then I'm going to be in here for a very long time"
He walked out of his office.
"Keep an eye on her" he told a police officer.
2 hours later…
A door opened in Matt Parkman's office.
Breanna was still in there. She turned around to see nothing.
"Hurry up before Parkman comes" She heard.
Breanna turned around again to be startled by a brown haired boy.
She moved from the chair and to the boy, a worried expression had appeared on her face.
He touched her shoulder and they moved through the police department without a sound.
After they had exited the department, Breanna and the boy became visible again.
"Thanks" She said.
"I'm Justin, see ya 'round"
He disappeared, Breanna walked to another building.
The Williams-Tovey Family, 2006:
"How did you break you're arm?" Alice asked her son
"I was grinding on the pole at the 'park and I feel off" Nick replied.
Alice was a single mother; she didn't share the same last name as her son.
"No more skateboarding until it's healed"
"Fine" Nick said as he rolled his eyes.
They walked into their small home, Alice started dinner as Nick watched TV.
Nick's dad when he was 3, so Alice was left to care for him. She worked part time as a caterer. It was just enough money for the two.
Present Day
