When Sabrina picked Alex up, Alex was sad to leave Jean.

Anne was on AOL when Matt was.

Mother45: Hi.

Kanto14: I'm busy. I was going to buy stuff on Amazon.

Mother45: I just wanted to tell you I'm going to have a baby.

Kanto14:!?

Mother45: Around April.

Kanto14 signed off at 8:43 PM.

While Alex was on the computer, Anne sent him a message.

Mother45: Who is this?

Crush_Ego: Alex

Mother45: Would you and your family be able to go to my wedding?

Crush_Ego: When?

Mother45: Next Friday.

Crush_Ego: We can't.

Matt attended to the wedding.

Nine months later, in April, Anne had Beverly. To her and Matt's surprise (several years later), Isabella gave birth to Kevin on the same day.

Mother45: Are you on?

Kanto14: No… I just was online. I didn't want to send anything. I was a bit bored, though.

Mother45: Beverly is so cute!

Kanto14: I would rather swim in a river full of crocodiles than listen to that junk.

Mother45: Men don't understand how much mothers love their children.

Kanto14: Humph.

Kanto14 logged off at 3:45 AM.

Alex watched the cars go by and he bit his nails. He finally logged onto the computer and he played a few games of solitaire. Sabrina yelled through the door,

"I told you to go to sleep ten minutes ago!''

Slowly Alex crawled into bed, but he didn't go to sleep. When he woke up, he dressed and went for a walk nearby.

Alex watched a young boy playing soccer. After scoring a goal, his father hugged him. Alex felt miserable.

"Hey, you!'' Alex yelled at the boy.

"Yeah?'' the boy answered.

"Come over here!''

The boy walked over.

"What's your name?'' Alex asked.

"Jon,'' the boy said simply.

"Mine's Alex. Do you know where Kosshues Street is?''

Jon pushed a bang out of his hair and said, looking annoyed,

"That is several miles from here.''

Alex did not thank him but decided to walk on.

Alex walked until dark. He did not go back. He felt like wandering.

He wandered all next day too. He only had fourteen dollars, so he just ate candy that day. He began to just eat candy and wander. After five days of wandering, a boy asked him,

"Aren't you that little kid who got lost and is in the papers?'' Alex somehow hated being called a little kid.

"No – and I'm not a little kid!'' he yelled at the boy.

After a week he had gained weight and he had no idea where he was.

He finally stopped at a café that needed help.

"May I have a job?'' Alex asked, trying to sound as grown-up as possible.

"We need cooks that also serve as waiters,'' the manager said dryly.

"I'll take it.'' The man pointed to a room full of smells. Alex walked in. A waiter said,

"Two plates of pasta and with extra cheese, with four Pepsis and two waters!''

Alex got out the pasta and poured the whole box into boiling water. Most of it spilled out and a huge bottle of glue spilled into the pot. He watched the other cooks while the pasta cooked.

Finally, a cook who probably wasn't much more than sixteen said,

"Watch out! That water is over flowing!''

Alex turned around but it was too late. A heavy bottle of wine fell into the pot and smashed. The pot tipped over and fell on the floor. As it did, it ruined the sink and all the sinks began flooding. Several bottles fell. The cooks were able to pick up the glass but they couldn't mop up the water. It spilled out and the cooks were pushed out of the room. Water, wine, pasta sauce, beer, coke, 7 up, and many other liquids spilled over the restraunt.

Alex was immediately fired. As he gloomily walked outside of the café, Sabrina was driving her car when she saw Alex. She was so shocked she pressed the pedal accidentally and crashed into the next car. Sabrina and the twins were killed.

At Sabrina and the two young twins funeral, Alex looked around, hoping to see Matt. He wasn't there.

Thinks he can leave everything to care for Robert and his wife, Alex thought crossly.

After the funeral late Sabrina's father, Rene said,

"Sonny, since your father isn't here we're going to take you home.'' Alex sullenly walked behind Rene and his wife, Helena. Sabrina's two brothers, Samuel and Farley were in sorrow and did not want to take their children home. So Alex's cousins, Jesse, Clarence, and Davy, Samuel Jr., James went into the car with Rene and Helena.

After Alex's cousins were dropped off, Rene turned to Alex.

"Now… Alex, where does your father live?''

Alex tried to smile, but his effort was very weak.

"I don't know.''

"You can stay with us until we find out.''

Alex shrugged.

They were unsuccessful the next day.
