Narrative POV

Everyone went to Zane's room, so no one was tempted to eavesdrop on Jaden and Alexis. Atticus was pressing his ear against the wall anyway. Zane stood up and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him away from the wall. He gagged. Zane pulled him so his head was right next to his.

"Knock it off, Atticus," he ordered. Atticus pouted but said nothing more. Everyone all heard a door open then close calmly. They heard walking and then the door to the stairs open and close. There was the faint sound of someone walking away. Everyone looked at each other. Suddenly, there was sobbing. Mindy and Jasmine looked at each other. They jumped to their feet and ran out of the room. Atticus squirmed out of Zane's grasp and followed. Everyone ran after them. Zane walked slowly behind them.

Jaden, what the hell did you do? he thought. Mindy and Jasmine were frantically searching for the key to their room. The sobbing was louder in there. Alexis was crying. He stared at the door. Whatever Jaden did, Alexis was really upset.

"She hardly ever cries," Atticus muttered to him. He nodded. While Atticus was brainwashed into Night Shroud, Alexis became like a little sister to Zane. He knew her just as well as Atticus, maybe better.

"I know." He looked at Atticus. His lips were formed into a frown.

"I can't find the key!" Mindy and Jasmine shrieked. Everyone just stared at them. Blair rolled her eyes.

"Argh, move your asses!" she hissed. She pushed her way through them and pulled her key out of her back pocket.

"You had your key the entire time!" Mindy shrieked. Blair slid the card into the handle and pulled it out. She looked back at them smiling when the light turned green.

"Yeah." Jasmine scowled at her.

"And you didn't tell us because…?" Blair shrugged.

"You never asked." Mindy opened her mouth but shut it when Blair opened the door. Alexis was sitting on the ground on her knees. Her face was buried in her hands. Her shoulders were shaking as she cried uncontrollably. Mindy and Jasmine ran into the room and over to her. They slowed down when the realized that she hadn't moved an inch, except for her shoulders. They stopped and just stared at her, totally helpless. Everyone walked in behind them. Atticus and Zane stood next to Mindy and Jasmine.

"What do we do?" Mindy asked; she sounded useless. Atticus looked at his sister. Everyone was in the room but she still hadn't acknowledged their presence.

"I really have no idea," he muttered. He sounded more useless than Mindy. Zane looked at Alexis. He walked over to her and knelled down next to her, gently brushing her hair behind her right ear. She jumped at the sudden gentle touch. She turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes were blood shot and her face was covered in tears. She looked around the room and noticed everyone in there.

"What are you all doing here?" she asked. Her voice was hoarse from her sobbing.

"We heard you crying so we came to see why you were," Mindy said. Alexis looked at her than at the ground.

"Jaden…," she whispered.

"Gone," Zane said in a monotone. She closed her eyes and nodded.

"I thought so." He looked at Mindy and Jasmine.

"Help her get ready for bed." They nodded and walked over to her. They helped her stand up. She gently pushed them off and smiled at them weakly.

"I can get ready on my own." They looked at her hesitantly. She walked away and into the bathroom. Zane looked at everyone. Chazz was burning a hole in the wall with his glare.

"What the hell did Jaden do?" he asked acidly. Zane stood and glared at him.

"Shut the fuck up Chazz. This is NOT the time!" Atticus glared at him as well.

"Yeah, Chazz." He glared at both of them.

"Don't even try to tell me you're not curious." Zane rolled my eyes.

"Of course we are but we don't have any idea what happened and does it look like Alexis is in the talky mood!" Chazz narrowed his eyes.

"What are we going to do, Zane?" Syrus asked. He looked at his little brother.

"WE'RE going to leave," he stated, gesturing to all the boys. "And in the morning, if Jaden still isn't back, we'll go look for him." Everyone but Chazz nodded.

"What if I don't wanna go look for Jaden?" Chazz asked. Zane glared at him.

"I don't give a shit if you don't wanna Chazz. You're gonna!" he barked. Chazz just glared back at him.

"I'm gonna stay just a bit longer, alright, Zane?" Atticus asked him. He looked at him and nodded.

"That's fine." He looked at everyone. "Alright guys, let's go." Zane started ushering everyone towards the door. Chazz wasn't moving. Aster took it upon himself to grab him by his hair and pull him out of the room. He was cussing the entire way out. Zane waved good bye to Mindy, Jasmine, Atticus, and Blair. He mouthed, 'Fifteen minutes,' to Atticus, who nodded.

Zane walked out of the room and to his room.

Jaden…where the hell did you go?

Seven Minutes Later

Alexis walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas. Mindy and Jasmine were sitting on their bed with Atticus. Blair was playing her Gameboy advanced in the chair in the corner. Mindy, Jasmine, and Atticus looked at Alexis. She smiled at them weakly. Jasmine shifted in the bed towards me.

"Are you alright, Lex?" she asked. Alexis nodded weakly. They didn't seem convinced.

"I'm just tired," she said in a whisper. They nodded. She walked over to her bed and crawled under the sheets. Alexis faced away from them and closed her eyes. She heard them mummer some things but just tuned them out. Slowly, her eyes drifted shut, exhausted from her sobbing. Soon, she was succumbed by slumber.

xXx

Alexis looked around. The place was completely dark. She couldn't see anything or anyone

"Hello?" she called. No answer. She began walking around aimlessly. She still couldn't see anyone or anything. Suddenly, she bumped into something. Alexis stumbled back and caught herself. She looked up to see what she ran into.

It was a door, a large oak door with a slight redness to it. She reached for the golden doorknob. Once she had her hands on it, she tried to turn it but it wouldn't bug. Alexis knocked on the door. No response.

"Hello? Anyone in there?"Still no response. She tried the doorknob once again but it still didn't budge. Alexis kept trying to the door knob for what seemed like hours. She didn't even know why I kept at it.

After what seemed like hours, she was suddenly yanked away from the door. She turned to see Brook standing there. She was in a sluty strapless cock tail dress that ended well before her mid thigh.

"Brook?" Alexis questioned. She looked at her, more like glared.

"What the hell were you trying to do?" she asked her. Alexis pointed to the door.

"I tried opening the door but it wouldn't budge. There isn't even a key hole to unlock it." Brook rolled her eyes. She walked over to the door and placed her hand on the doorknob. "It won't open Bro-." She didn't finish. Brook turned the doorknob and the door opened. Alexis stared at her flabbergasted. She looked at her and smirked. She opened the door all the way. Alexis' heart sank when she saw what was inside.

Jaden was standing in the middle of a white room, his hands in his pockets. He was staring at the door. He smiled when the door opened. Brook purred and walked into the room, slamming the door shut behind her.

xXx

"Jaden!" Alexis screamed, shooting up in her bed. She looked around. Mindy and Jasmine were asleep, her scream didn't even register in their minds. Blair shifted slightly next to her but didn't wake. There was a crash of thunder. Alexis jumped and looked at the window. A thunderstorm was raging outside. She turned and looked at the clock on the table next to the bed.

It was one in the morning.

Alexis closed her eyes when she felt tears begging to be shed.

Please…Jaden…PLEASE be safe and warm…

xXx

Jaden's POV

I pulled my jacket closer to me, trying to keep warm. The cold midnight wind rustled the leaves of the trees. I looked up at the large clock.

It was a quarter to one.

I sighed and continued walking, no clue where I was walking.

Alexis…

I frowned and continued walking. The streets were empty. Suddenly, I heard thunder crash. I looked up at the sky. The pitch black sky had murderous clouds swirling in it. Lightning flashed, showing the clouds it was behind. I felt a rain drop fall on my face.

"Damn…," I whispered, whipping the rain drop off my face. It began to pour. I frowned and continued walking down the side walk.

What fitting weather. I thought with a humorless laugh. By now I was walking in front of some residential part of the city. A part I recognized. Cursing, I pulled my now soaked jacket closer to covering my face and speed up my pace.

I walked in front of a simple red bricked house when the porch light came on. The door opened and I walked faster, hoping the person wouldn't see me.

"Jaden?" a voice asked. I froze. I turned to see Mark standing there. He was in a white tee shirt and black boxers. His bull dog, Noodles, was at his feet.

"Hey Mark," I muttered. He ran down the steps that led to his house.

"What the hell are you doing out in this weather?" He asked me. I shrugged.

"Walking," I said. Mark groaned and took my right arm. He pulled me up the stairs and into his house.

"Come, Noodles," Mark called. Noodles barked and followed us inside. Mark shut the door and locked it. He pulled me out of his entry way and into his kitchen.

His kitchen was small. It had white and black tiled floors and white painted walls. There was a small table big enough for four people by the window that gave view to his back yard. He shoved me into a chair and disappeared out of the room. He came back a minute later carrying two white towels. He threw one at me and set the other one on the kitchen counter. I began drying myself off.

I looked where Mark was standing after I finished drying my hair. He wasn't there. I arched my eyebrow. Mark appeared out of the door way carrying a pair of grey sweatpants and a white tee shirt. He set them on the table next to me.

"Go change before you catch a cold," he ordered. I set the used towel on the table and grabbed the clothes Mark gave me. I walked out of the kitchen and into his small bathroom.

xXx

"Mind explaining yourself, Jaden?" Mark asked me, handing me a cup of hot chocolate. I took the cup and looked at the fire he started a moment ago.

We were sitting in his family's small living room. Mark and I were sitting on their large black leather sofa facing their fire place. A coffee table separated the two. A TV was mounted on the wall above the fire place. Each wall was adorned with many pictures.

I took a sip of the hot chocolate before replying.

"I was walking to clear my head," I said, setting the cup down on a coaster on the coffee table.

"What made you want to 'take a walk'?" he asked. I looked at him. He was looking at me curiously. "You haven't 'taken a walk' ever since you and Brad got in that argument." I leaned back against the couch.

"Today…what happened…-" I took a deep breath, "Alexis didn't know about any of it." I looked at Mark again because my gaze shifted to the crackling fire place. He was staring at me confused.

"Didn't know what?" I returned my gaze to the crackling fire place.

"Everything. About you, Morgan, Danny, and Brook." I paused, "Especially Danny and Brook."

"I kinda figured that they didn't know by the way they were shocked that we knew you." Mark said. I looked back at him. He was staring that the ceiling.

"Did you get in a fight with Alexis?" he asked. I stared at the floor and didn't reply. After about five minutes of silence, Mark sighed. "I'll take that as a yes." I lowered my head, allowing my bangs to cover my eyes. Mark stood up from the couch. I didn't look up at him. I heard him walk out of the room and up the stairs. I heard some doors opening, closing, then some feet coming down the stairs.

A white pillow and blanket were dropped in sight of my lowered gaze. I looked up and saw Mark standing there.

"I'm not letting you walk around during a thunder storm," he said, reading the confusion in my eyes. I opened my mouth to protest when he shook his head. "Don't try to object. You're staying." I closed my mouth and took the blanket and pillow. Mark walked over to the fire place and poured some water on it, dousing the flame. The room was dark.

"Good night, Jaden."

"Night Mark," I said. I heard Mark leave and go back upstairs, patting his thigh for Noodles to come along. I smiled and threw the pillow at the arm of the sofa and laid my head down on it. I pulled the blanket over myself and closed my eyes, allowing darkness to consume me as I fell into a blissful dreamless sleep.
