Chapter 12- A Moment Like This Part 1 of 5

Alex-

We rode in silence to Spinner's party.Though we all wanted to break the horrid silenceno one wanted to say anything that might upset Jimmy. Jay already dida wonderful job of that. He asked what we got Spin for his birthday, big mistake.

"So Jimmy what'd you get Spin for his birthday," Jay asked innocently.

"Why should I have to get him anything," Jimmy replied. "He practically ruined my life he deserves NOTHING."

I couldn't let Jimmy sit here and play the pity card. It wasn't really Spin's fault. I had to get out.

"Jimmy stop the car," I said.

"What Alex what's wrong."

"Stop the damn car Jimmy." He stopped and I got out. I started walking down the street trying to get away from Jimmy followingbehind me.

"Alex get in the car."

There was no way that I was getting into that car. Jimmy kept blaming people forhis accident. He was blaming everyone but the one at fault. Rick.I looked to my left noticing where we were. This was Towerz's street. I was having a hard time remembering which house was his because of the times that I had been there I was drunk. I look ahead of me and saw a train of cars leading up to a house filled with loud rap music.This was the place. I ran up the drive way and rang the door bell. While I stood theresomething inside of me told me to walk back to the car but I ignored it.

"Password," Towerz said with a smile and he let me through.

Jay-

What the hell was she doing? Towerz is going to do something to her I just know he is I have to help her.

Jimmy stopped the car and was about to get out. "Jimmy don't," I said protectively.

"What why? I have to go get her. I don't even know why she left."

"Jimmy, you said that Spinner ruined your life. How is your life ruined? You have a loving girlfriend and a bunch of friends who really care for you. Your effin life couldn't be better," Emma said speaking up.

"I...I...I...I didn't mean it that way. I have to go tell her."

"Jimmy don't go into that house. People go into that house and never come out. Let me go get Alex okay I can handle Towerz. He won't do anything to me." With that I got out of the car and ran into the house. I looked around for Alex and spotted her with Amy.

"Alex, just who I was looking for," I said with a coy smile.

"What do you want Hogart." She had only been in the house for ten minutes shecouldn't already bedrunk. It didn't add up. I noticed an empty Brandy bottle next to her.

"Alex you have to come with me." I knew she was going to ask why so I had to lie. "Jimmy, he he he got really mad and started speeding and he crashed him and Emma, they're in the car. I had got out to get you and I saw them." I had no clue how true me lie was.

Alex-

When Jay told me that Jimmy had crashed the car I wanted to cry. We ran outside and he had a look of utter shock on his face.

"Jay are they-," I was cut off my Jay.

"Someone call 911 hurry." Amy had been right there and got out her cell phone a dialed. "I...I...I" was all Jay could say.

"Jay no it's not your fault. You couldn't have stopped it."

"YES, IT IS. I LIED ALEX, I LIED TO GET YOU OUT HERE. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD CRASHED."

"Oh my God Jay." I hugged him.

This was the first time I had ever let myself cry in front of people but I couldn't hold the tears in. They were streaming down my face and onto Jay's shirt. I couldn't and wouldn't let him let go of me. Not even when the ambulance got there. Jay and I watched in horror as the paramedics pulled Jimmy and Emma from the car. Both were placed on stretchers and taken to the hospital.

I felt something wet hit me face and I knew Jay was crying too. I felt better knowing that it wasn't only me who was crying.Towerz came out and handed Jay his car keys telling him to drive safely. I thanked Towerz with a hug and Jay and I went to the hospital.

Jay-

This all seems so surreal like Emma wasn't being taken away. That Alex wasn't in my arms crying. That I myself was cry as well. This was all a bad dream a bad bad dream. It had to be. This couldn't be real.
