Only a short chapter today, sssssssooooooo ttttttttiiiiirrrrrrreeeeeedd. In a nutshell. But hey, here's the next Alex chapter.
Before anyone could do anything, I clapped my hand over Caitlin's mouth before he screamed and curled my other hand into a fist. I couldn't trust anyone anymore. But there was no need.
K.K slider slowly and wearily opened his eyes and saw us staring at him in shock, Caitlin wrestling against my hand so he could yell in horror, but all you could hear from him were muffled squeaks. His white face was paler than usual, and he looked thin and tired. His huge midnight black sunglasses hid all emotion in his eyes, but despite this he still looked effortlessly cool. His battered guitar was poking out from underneath his bed.
I looked back and saw that the door was still open to the pitch black room with the retard raccoons that were holding my best friend hostage. I walked over and resisted all urge and contained my anger and shut the door with a soft click. Then I raced back over to Caitlin and Slider.
"Hey guys, how's life ruffians?" he asked, rather laid back, propping his arms up on his bed. Then he saw our distressed faces and his mouth twitched, and his mouth changed from an enthusiastic curve to a mere straight line. "I've been asleep a long time haven't I?" he murmured, loud enough for just us to hear.
"He trapped me. He stole my guitar. I went after him and I got caught. He gave me something to drink, he apologised, and he made me feel welcome on his luxury cruise ship. But then, I fell asleep for a hell of a long time. My life in a nutshell."
My mind was buzzing. K.K Slider was never one to follow orders, or stick to the stereotype or whatever. I mean, he gives out free CD's every Saturday! I though back to when I was home and not in so much trouble and me and Peewee would go down to the roost every Saturday and listen to his latest tunes with a cup of coffee, and then we'd go and stargaze with Celeste... tears formed but I sucked them back in before anyone noticed, god I've been so mushy lately! Totally degrading.
Without further ado I rushed out of the room. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to save my best friend.
