A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

Strawberri Shake- I write a lot of dysfunctional fathers. I'm setting a trend...but my dad is great, so it's not some inner psychological thing. I like clearing things up! If you have any more questions, ask me, please!!!

Mush's PoV
"Wait! Wait! Slow down, Dutchy, slow down!"
"It's not him Mush."
"Yes it is! Yes it is!" I pointed out the window excitedly.
"No, it's not. We've passed that guy three times and every time you've gotten me to slow down so you can check. It's not him."
I swivelled in my seat as we passed and caught sight of his face proving that it wasn't Blink.
Dutchy pulled into an old diner.
"What are you doing?" I panicked slightly.
"I'm taking a break. Mush, we've been driving around since rehearsal ended at five. I'm hungry and I need a rest."
How can he think about taking a break right now? "Blink is hungry and thirsty too! He's been on the streets since Sunday! Dutchy, I have to find him!"
By this time Dutchy and I had already entered the diner.
"He's probably dead in the streets or in prison for.........for stealing food! Blink can't survive on the streets alone! He lacks the proper survival skills! I don't think he does very well all alone in the big city! It's rough out there Dutchy! Very rough!" I imagined Blink getting mugged by four burly men.
Dutchy ordered from the waitress, appearing to never have heard me.
"Mush," he finally turned to me. "At least tell me why Blink is gone. You owe me that much if you expect me to sacrifice my time and energy to drive around and look for him."
"He ran away from my house."
"I got that much, why'd he run away?"
"I don't remember," I lied. I'm not supposed to remember, but I can. It's all too vivid, it's like he's kissing me right now.
"Of course you can remember. It was barely three days ago. I can go home, because despite what you say Blink is a smart kid. He'll find a shelter for the night or at least a warm porch step. He can take care of himself."
I stared at him. Blink needs us, he needs to go home and get a good nights rest and we'll meet at school like nothing happened and everything will be OK again. I can't even pretend like everything's OK because he's not there to pretend with me.
"I told you, I don't remember."
"Fine," Dutchy stood up, "then there's no point in me hanging around. I'm going home." He headed for the door. That's when I realized that he'd probably really leave.
So I told him. "He kissed me. Blink kissed me." It was better telling someone than letting Blink parish on the streets alone.
Dutchy turned and smiled. "Seriously?" he sat back down.
I nodded meekly.
He grinned wider, "you're not joking, are you?"
I shook my head, what's the use in lying?
His food arrived.
"I'll let you in on a secret," he leaned over, "I've got a date with Specs." He watched my expression as he took a huge bite of his hamburger.
A/n: I love how they share all their dating information!!! To bad that Mush is creeped out by the whole thing...yeah, that really is unfortunate...read and review anyways!!!
