Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I was busy...I hear no sympathy, thanks.

I own nothing, except Alex and Alice.

Alex's P.O.V:

Alice and I grabbed what we would need before setting up the trap for Ian. Once everything was set up, Alice blew the blow-horn, waking Ian up. He jumped out of bed and I heard him moan as he hit the floor. He got up, and seeing us laughing, ran towards us. We just stood there. At the last second as he tripped a piece of string, we shut the door, this making him fall face first into it. After he ran into the door we ran into the kitchen, David and Kass looking at us oddly. Alice and I hid behind David as Ian came running into the kitchen, red faced and dressed only in his boxers. Alice and me broke out laughing, and David and Kass were trying, and failing, to keep a straight face.

"I gonna kill you two!" Ian roared, before leeping at us. We moved and Ian ended up tackling David.

"Kass, help! Ian's trying to murder Alice and me." I whined, trying to stay as far from Ian as possible. I could tell everyone, other than Alice, was confused as to why I called her that but they just went along with it. David was now chasing Ian, who still looked ready to murder us. My phone rung and we stopped running when we saw Kass had unsheathed his sword.

"It was just my phone," I told him cautiously, "Nothing dangerous." I was containing my laughter. I went into the living room, only stopping at my room to grab my ipod. In the living, I plugged my ipod into the docking station. I turned it all the way up, a smirk on my face the whole time. I turned on 'State of Emergency' by, my favorite band, Papa Roach. Alice, Ian, David, and Kass walked in right when it started.

There's a movie playing in my head
Bombs falling and children crying
The sunrise and the sky turns red
Load your guns tonight

There's a song playing down the hall
All alone there's an old man dying
I can't feel anything at all
Something isn't right,

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna to be left for dead

This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead, left for dead, Kass was starting to cringe at the loud music as we enjoyed it.

There's a world standing in my way
Father said that I best stop trying
Stand down, it will be okay
You don't have to fight,

There's a picture hanging on the wall
Of a memory that I'm denying
The sun sets and the angels fall
Something isn't right,

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead

This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead,

No, don't leave me here alone
I don't wanna make this hell my home
I would rather die than sell my soul
I would rather lie than let you go,

There's a voice screaming in my head
Telling me that I'd best stop crying
Stand up, it will be okay
Load your guns tonight,

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead

This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead

State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I don't wanna be left for dead
Left for dead, left for dead,

Alice and I relaxed on one couch, Ian and David on another, and Kass in a chair.

"I love Papa Roach." I said dreamily.

"I have a song request." Alice said, sitting up straight.

"Let me guess...'Fake it'?" by her face, I knew I had guested correct. 'Fake it' was her favorite song by Seether. I sighed before getting up and changing it to it.

Who's to know if your soul will fade at all?
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way, yeah, Alice sang.

Good god, you're comin' up with reasons
Good god, you're draggin' it out
And good god, it's the changin' of the seasons
I feel so right, so follow me down and just

Fake it, if you're out of direction
Fake it, if you don't belong, yeah
Fake it, if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fuckin' hypocrite, Alice and I sang

You should know that the lies won't hide your flaws
No sense in hiding all of yours
You gave up on your dreams along the way, yeah, I sang

Good god, you're comin' up with reasons
Good god, you're draggin' it out
And good god, it's the changin' of the seasons
I feel so right so follow me down and just

Fake it, if you're out of direction
Fake it, if you don't belong, yeah
Fake it, if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fuckin' hypocrite, Alice and I sang

I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake with the best of them all
I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake it all, I sang

Who's to know if your soul will fade at all?
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way, yeah, Alice sang

Good god, you're comin' up with reasons
Good god, you're draggin' it out
Good god, it's the changin' of the seasons
I feel so right, man, follow me down and just

Fake it, if you're out of direction
Fake it, if you don't belong, yeah
Fake it, if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fuckin' hypocrite

Fake it, if you're out of direction
Fake it, if you don't belong, yeah
Fake it, if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fuckin' hypocrite, Alice and I finished the song, getting a fake applaud from Ian.

"Sometimes, I think I surrounded by insane people." Kass muttered.

"You are." we all responded, laughing at the irony.

Well, there was chapter 9. Yet again, sorry it took so long.

Reviews are loved...well, as much as I can love something.
