Thanks emeraldeyes101, I totally forgot about all the pairings. I was so focused on Alicia and Josh!

I'll try to keep my chaps longer, A/N shorter. lol.

Guys, please forgive me if this story seems a little…scattered. I'm really busy, I'm supposed to be doing other things (like writing a book report…that's dues tomorrow…shh) so it might seem a little scattered, like I said.

The first couple of chapters I wrote when I was 11. I had them saved on my comp, btu I just discovered this site. Sorry if they aren't so great.

Sorry to keep this A/N going on forever, but how soon do you guys wanna find out who the killer (er, hurter….) is? This is chap 7, so when? I have a surprise in the next coupla chaps. It'll probably take up like four chaps? Chap 12? 13? I'll make the chaps longer. And less cliffies. Oh, who am I kidding? I couldn't stop cliffies if I tried.

Sorry, I'm keeping Alicia's POVs in first person.

LONGER CHAPTERS! PROMIISSSEE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!!

The world spun. Yet another cliché, but the room actually tilted. Her dad? As my doctor? As if I need more drama in my life. All I wanted was a nice, long nap. And an up in the painkillers.

"Your dad? But I thought he left you when you were a baby!?" Kristen shrieked, possibly breaking the sound barrier. Apparently this was news to her, as well as it was to me.

"He did. I didn't know he was working here until last week. He called me. How he got our number is beyond me. It's not like we have it out in the phonebook for stalkers all around to call my mom. Ugh, mom-stalkers." Dylan shuddered at the thought. "That isn't the worst part. H-he told me there was a reason he left."

"Like an affair, right?" I asked, hopeful. Dylan made it sound like something much, much worse.

Dylan rubbed her eyes, looking exhausted. "No. I-I didn't ask. T-the, the," Dylan seemed completely at loss for words. "The anger, passion, the hate in his voice made me hang up. I couldn't take it."

"So, uh, Dr. Cullen, is your dad?" I still couldn't get over it.

"Hm. Little slow, no?" Massie's purple snakeskin Marc Jacob pumps returned to the cold linoleum floor. "I can't believe you guys didn't think her dad would show up. I mean, sooner or later he had to. Can we get over this now?"

"Mass! I haven't seen my dad my entire life! Can you stop acting the prissy little brat you are for five seconds?" Dylan's face turned the color of her hair. I swore, her eyes flashed black.

"What is this? An episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager? Gawd, I'm so out!" Massie grabbed the sleek silver door handle and ripped the door open. I saw a flash of her disappearing skirt, then the crash of the door closing again jolted me out of the daze. I knew Dylan's comment rattled her, it was the was she tilted her head and her voice heightened a pitch.

"Wonder who shoved a stick up her butt?" Kristen scoffed, looking up from her ever-present Vogue.

"Look, Dyl, I'm sorry about your dad, but I just need to get out of here. I'm fine. All I need is to see Josh."

"As you wish, Ms. Rivera." A tall, young, gorgeous doctor stepped into the room. He had brilliant blue eyes, and wavy brown hair. "Josh Hotz, I presume? Yes, I remember him babbling on about an Alicia."

"Are. You. Doctor. Cullen?" By the way the words came out of Dylan's teeth, she sounded more like an angry, half starved pit-bull.

"Me? Oh, no. Dr. Cullen had some, er, business to attend to. I was appointed Ms. Rivera's doctor." A laugh bubbled out of his perfect, sparkling teeth. Kristen eyes had dreamy stars in them.

The pit-bull had morphed into a hopeful puppy. "Business that took him to some European country that he won't be back from until, well, ever?"

"Ah, no. In fact, looks like he's getting in right about now." Dr. Hot stepped out the door. In an instant, a familiar face took his place. A scream filled the room.

Great. Like I needed more drama in my life.

AHH! IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO SHORT!

I SWEAR, the next chap will be six pages on word.

Promise.

I had a great idea in the middle of this chap, and I had to use it.

I really do apologize for the shortness. Next chap will be soon and long!
