Well, here's the long awaited chapter 13. Enjoy!

I own nothing.

Alex's POV:

I looked over to see Alice looking ready to fainted.

"I'm getting her out of here. She has already watched a horrible death, another one might break her." I whispered to Ian and David. I nodded at Kass as I guided Alice out of the clearing and towards the exit. I put her helmet on after my own.

"It's okay Alice, let's go home and rest." I calmed her to the point of relaxing. We were almost out of the forest when we heard the screams. It was a gut wrenching screamed, filled with terror and incomprehensible pain, the pain that can only come with one's death. I covered Alice's ears, blocking the screams out. We entered the the main clearing before we reached the gate. No one was paying attention to the screams, they thought a person just got shot with a paintball where it hit them directly, causing pain. I opened the gate, thankful for the helmets that hid our faces.

'Alice, go get in the car. I have to return our guns. I'll be there in a second.' I thought. After cleaning the guns sloppily and returning them, I went to the car. Alice was lying in the back seat, her eyes shut. I got in the car, grabbing the keys when Alice handed them to me. I put the key in the ignition and turned it. The car started after a minute. I backed out of the parking lot, putting on some music. The song I'm Sorry by Veer Union came on. I hummed along quietly.

For you it's hard to say, "I'm sorry."
You know it's just the same for me.
Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, my friend.
You think you're not to blame for this.
I'm feeling just the same: hopeless.
Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye.

I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry for seeing, the side of you that is oh, so deceiving.
All I see, all the lies I believed in.
I'm sorry, I'm leaving.

I thought you would have changed by now.
You fooled me once again, somehow.
Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, my friend.
I always rearrange my life, now all I've got to say is goodbye. Goodbye.

I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry for seeing, the side of you that is oh, so deceiving.
All I see, all the lies I believed in.
I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry, I really mean it!
So this ends, and I'm walking out the front door.
Now I know that there's nothing left to fight for.
Every time I open my eyes.

For you it's hard to say, "I'm sorry."
You know it's just the same for me.

The side of you that is oh, so deceiving!

I'm sorry, I'm leaving.

I know there's nothing left for me to fight for!
I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry, I really mean it.
Now that I have opened my eyes.

I pulled into the driveway, thankful I didn't get pulled over for speeding. I took the key out and shut the car off.

"Alice, we're..." I stopped when I heard snoring. If I could sweat drop like people in anime, I would've been. I got out of the car before opening her door. I picked her before putting her over my shoulder. I shut the door and locked the car. Balancing Alice on my shoulder, I walked up the steps to the front door, unlocked it, and went inside. After dropping Alice on the couch ("How the hell are you still asleep!"), I changed my clothes. My outfit consisted of a light weight black hoodie and jean shorts that ended 2 inches above my knees. I went to the front door and locked it before I went to the kitchen.

"Try to stop me from drinking gatorade now Kass!" I cheered to myself, gulping the red liquid down. Humming a random tune I walked back to the living room. Alice was drooling on one of the black pillows.

'Damn, poor pillow.' I thought. Alice moaned, startling me.

"Think quieter dammit!" Alice growled, glaring at me. I just smirked at her still half-asleep look. I pointed at the drool.

"You are cleaning that up." I took another swig of Gatorade. I walked over to the stereo. I hooked my ipod up to it before putting it on shuffle. I laughed at the funny song that came on.

"Scotty Doesn't Know...really?" Alice gave me a weird look that said 'you-are-such-a-moron'.

"Scotty doesn't know, oh.
Scotty doesn't know-oh.
So don't tell Scotty!
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know.
SO DON'T TELL SCOTTY!" I sing the chorus just to annoy her before changing the song. The Japanese lyrics floated out.

"Why the hell is that on your ipod? You don't even know Japanese!" Alice asked. I took another drink of Gatorade before throwing the empty bottle at her.

"This is the 3rd theme song of one of the animes I like." I shrugged. After that Alice and I just sang along to whatever songs came on till Ian, David, and Kass got back. They took off their boots before going to change, solemn expressions on their faces. The mood in the house plummeted sharply. Ian made dinner, neither David, Alice, nor me teased him. The rest of the day was filled with awkward and tense silence. Alice cracked first.

"I'm going to go read. Night." with that she left. I could Ian looking at her as she walked away. Right before she left the room, she blushed scarlet but soon disappeared around the hallway. Ian was the next to go.

"Night. I need my beauty sleep." with a smirk and a yawn he left. David was channel surfing, obviously not finding anything to his tastes. Surprisingly, Kass left next.

"..." he said no words, just walked to his room. After 20 minutes David turned off the TV. He turned to me.

"Alex...it's going to be okay." he hugged me to his chest in a brotherly gesture. After a minute he pulled away.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you are going soft on me." I teased slightly, smiling. He messed up my hair before standing up and going to bed. I looked at the clock. It was 3 at in the mourning. I groaned slightly before going to my room. I fell into bed.

'Oh, brother how I wish you were right.' were my last conscious thoughts before a viel of darkness rendered me asleep.

Well, here was chapter 13, it took forever to write. So can anyone guess what anime theme song I might have on my ipod? Shout out for anyone who guesses correctly.
