It was the night of the camping trip, the Russo's were piled in the back of Spinner's truck, along with all of the camping supplies Spinner owned, he and Jane were inside the truck sending text and calls to everyone to meet them at The Dot. Some people were going to meet at the Dot whilst others were already down at the site pitching tents. Harper had been buttoning her jacket while Alex gazed down at the camping supplies, her mind was lost in thought over Peter and Mason, to her Peter was an escape into reality, maybe she was supposed to be with a mortal instead of a werewolf, but the cocaine use was a serious issue.

Alex always lived above the influence, she wasn't advocating it but she always lived by it. Harper stared at Zeke who had at first been wearing the same shirt as Justin. Justin convinced Zeke to change his shirt or at least put on a jacket. Zeke took off his shirt and decided to turn it inside out, so no one would know. Justin shook his head, and jumped into the back of the truck. Harper saw Zeke and couldn't help but laugh, he was adorable and had such a great personality, she looked at Justin who was as lost in his mind as his sister was and then looked at Zeke who tried to act cool as he jumped into the bed of the truck, and accidentally kicked the hot chocolate out of Max's hands.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?" asked Max, 'THAT WAS MY FIRST CUP AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO DRINK ANY OF IT!"

Zeke apologized and grabbed a roll of toilet paper from one of the camping bins and began mopping up the drink. Harper jumped up to help them.

A couple of headlights flashed directly in Alex's face, waking her up from her trance, a flashy car pulled up to The Dot, Sav and Anya were in the back seat with a couple of bags of supplies while the driver starred up apologetically to Alex. She wanted to look away from him, she knew how bad drugs were and what they could do to someone. She looked back at her family, Max and Zeke were cleaning up the spill while Harper was laughing with Zeke, Harper then looked up at Alex and they stared at each other for a second, Alex gave her a little smile and then she turned to look at Justin.

He was sitting with his back towards her on a box, he had his head in his hands, and looked frantic. She wanted to go and give him a hug, she usually never did something like that when people were around, but her brother had been going through a lot. Alex sat there on the edge of the truck, this contemplating seemed to last forever but it had only been a couple of seconds.

"Alex, did you want a ride?" asked Peter as innocently as he could.

Alex looked at him and shook her head then continued to look at her knees. "I obviously have one hence the giant truck?" she said as sarcastically as she could.

Peter gave out a small laugh trying to make Alex feel better, in his mind it seemed logical, but the menacing look she gave him proved otherwise.

Sav and Anya were texting away in the backseat, oblivious to Alex and Peters banter.

Peter looked at his passengers then looked at Alex as straight faced as he could without showing any weakness. "Alex can we talk at least, look I'm sorry you had to see that, i really am, its just I'm going though a lot, and before i met you that was the only thing that i could turn to, you're like my new escape. You make everything in life better."

Alex didn't want to believe any word of it, but she couldn't resist it, the way he said it was so sincere and what he said made sense, he was her escape too.

She gave him a little smile and got out of the truck and walked to the passenger seat.

Harper stared at her and gave a little wave, she understood that Alex needed a new guy in her life, Alex waved back and the 4 of them drove off. Spinner and Jane knocked on the back window signaling for the kids in the back to get ready, as 3 other cars full of their school friends drove up they revved up the truck and it was off to the campsite.

Alex looked back at her family in Spinners truck, and something didn't feel right, it felt as if they were all drifting apart.

Alex began contemplating on whether to ask Peter to stop the car so she could join her family, but as soon as she was about to turn around he put his hand on her knee and gave her a soft smile. "I'm so glad you decided to come Alex, i seriously didn't think I'd even come to this camping trip if you hadn't come."

Sav and Anya gave each other glances as they eavesdropped on Peter and Alex.

Alex gave him and smile and suddenly her family escaped her mind, almost everything had escaped. Everything except Mason.
