I still could'nt get what happened a few days ago out of my mind. I still can't believe that Alex tried to kill Tim. What would have happened if I had not been there? Would Jay have been able to stop Alex on his own? I shuddered at the thought of Alex actually succeeding in what he wanted to do. I could only pray that Tim used the pipe I left beside him and made it to the hospital. I'm not doctor but there is no way that leg could heal without trouble.

"Rebecca?", I heard Jay ask from the booth. It was evening and we were in the car. Jay was in the booth and I was laying accross the back seat. There was'nt really much either of us could do except just wait for Alex to call. I could only assume Alex was going to contact me at some point since he said he would talk to me later.

"Yeah Jay?"

"What do you think...happened to Tim, after we left I mean".

"...Who knows. Maybe he found a way out", I said. I was'nt too sure if I should tell Jay the truth or not. I deffinetly could'nt tell Alex if I see him again. God knows what would happen.

"Right", Jay mumbled a bit before asking, "was Alex like...that, before he went missing?" I thought back a little, trying to remember before I responded,

"The last time I saw him was the day after mom's funeral. He did'nt say much, but he was there for me and dad on the day. When we were outside, or near a window he would look a little nervous".

We did'nt say anything else after that. It was more or less silence as the evening sky gave away to night. How long has it been since I ate? I don't think I actually ate much this morning, and that was made certain once I began to feel a small pain of hunger in my stomach. I think I saw a take away place about fifteen minutes away, and I needed fresh air anyway.

I sat up and looked over the back seat into the booth down at Jay.

"Hey Jay, I'm just gonna go out for a bit. Feeling kinda hungry and I need some fresh air. Do you want to come with or do you want me to pick you up something?"

"No, I'm good. Do you want me to come with you anyway?", Jay asked.

"No, I'll be okay. I'll have my phone with me", I said.

"Well, stay safe then".

"Will do. Be back as soon as I can", I said before I got out of the car and started to make my way down the street. I was a little nervous to be on my own, but I figured that since there were other people about their buisness I would be okay.

About half an hour later I was sitting on a bench in a small park, and warm plastic container with fried rice and beef on my lap and a can of pepsi at my side. There was no one else out as far as I could tell and I guessed that there was'nt really anything for me to worry about.

Untill I felt and hand cover my mouth. I went wide eyed in shock, giving a small, muffled shriek before I went to pull the hand off of me.

'Please be Alex, please be Alex, please be Alex", I was begging in my mind. He may not have been the best person to wish for, but Jay would'nt surprise me like this and Alex was better then some mugger or rapist.

"Take it easy will ya, I already have a busted leg without my arm being broke too".

I froze my movements for a few seconds in shock as I recognised the voice, which was enough for the hand to let go of my mouth. If the voice did'nt give it away the sentence did. I would have turned my head around to look at him but Tim had already made his way to sit next to me.

He was wearing the same jeans and jacket from the last time I saw him. The only difference was that his damaged leg was heavilly bandaged and that he was carrying a crutch. I guess he did get medical attention no problem, though I could'nt help but feel he should be in a hospital still.

There was just silence for a while, and it was making me uncomfortable. What are you suppose to say to a guy when you just saw your own brother bash his leg with a rock? The fact Tim was just looking straight ahead of him made it a little easier though I think.

"Soo, I see you were able to get to a hospital...", I started off. Not really one of my greatest conversation starters.

"Yeah. Thanks for untying me, and leaving the pipe for me. Probably would've used it anyway, but I guess you saved me have to crawl to it", Tim said before asking,

"So, you have any idea where Alex might be?"

"Even if I did I don't think I would say". Well, Alex is my brother. And I'm sure he would do the same for me and not reveal my location. Tim's fists seemed to clench a little and I tried to take the subject off of Alex.

"Sh-should'nt you be in a hospital for another few days at least?"

"Rather not. As long as my pain medication does'nt run out too soon I should be fine for a while", Tim shrugged his shouldors. "But here's a question for you. Why'd you untie me and leave a pipe for me to get out?"

"Well, I had to do something. And I highly doubt I could convince Alex to get you to a hospital. Maybe Jay but Alex is too stubborn", I simply replied. A tiny chuckle came from Tim, though it sounded slightly bitter. Probably mostly because of Alex.

"True I guess".

"So, I guess I'm not going to get a answer if I ask how you...got involved in this?"

"Nope", Tim said bluntly,

"Well, why are you here anyway?"

"Well, we did say the next time we meet we would hang out", Tim said, and I could have sworn I saw a slight smirk.

"Actually, I think it was a bite to eat and unless you like chinese take away-", I mumbled before Tim cut me off.

"You mind sharing a fork".

...God damn it...

I handed the plastic fork to Tim to let him have some bites of my dinner.

"So, how come Jay is'nt out with you?", Tim asked inbetween bites.

"He was'nt hungry. I did'nt really eat much today and the hunger got to me I guess", I mumbled before taking a sip of my drink. "You want a sip too?"

"Sure", Tim handed the fork back to me and took a couple sips from the can while ate some the delicious rice and beef. I knew what I was going to ask next was a bit of a dangerous question to ask, but I had to.

"Why did you stab me? I only stabbed you by accident". Tim tensed a little and I was having second thoughts about asking in the first place.

"...I'm sorry, I just...I just...it's complicated okay. You would'nt understand".

"Why you stabbed me?"

"NO! My...my mind it's...", Tim calmed from his sudden outburst and said, "look, I'm...I'm sorry about it. I regret it okay?"

I did'nt say anything back. The rest of the time was silent, with me and Tim taking turns with the fork and drink untill we were finished with them. This was certainly not how I imagined a date with him...n-not that I'm calling it that!

"So, Rebecca...how have you and Jay been getting along?", Tim asked casually.

"Him? We're doing okay I guess. So far he's been a better brother in a year then Alex in three", I mused before I looked at my watch. "I should get going before Jay gets worried".

Tim grumbled a bit but grabbed his crutch and prepaired to pull himself up.

"Um, do you want help?", I offered, but Tim shuck his head.

"Nah, I'm good", Tim said before pulling himself up. "Good to know you care for me though". I gave a brief smile.

"One more thing, before I go. Your not dating anyone, are you?" I was surprised at Tim's question but answered with,

"My last date was at senior prom. Why?" Tim grabbed my arm and mumbled,

"Just want to make sure you don't have more then one reason to yell at me for this".

"Wha-", but I was cut off when I felt Tim's lips pressed onto mine. They felt warm, and a tiny bit dry but I did'nt have much time to note anything else because just as quickly as he kissed me Tim pulled away.

"I'll see you later, Rebecca", Tim said, given a very tiny and brief grin before limping away.

I could only stand there in shock, trying to process what had just happened in the last few minutes. I brought a hand to my lips. My first kiss with Tim. Not exactly how I imagined it, but it still felt as nice.

"Hey Rebecca. You okay?", Jay asked when I made it back to the car.

"Yeah. Sorry if I'm late, there was a line at the place and I forgot I had my phone with me", I said, having prepaired the lie while comming back here.

"No, your okay".

"Right. Any call from Alex?" Jay sighed and shuck his head.

I just nodded and laid back in the backseat. I planned to stay awake as long as possible, or at least untill Jay felt we should go to sleep. I could go either way.

I have to say though, a kiss from Tim was deffinetly one of the best things I've experienced in days.

Date: 04/25/10

Time: 22:31

Still no word from Alex.

Forgot to eat much today so I went out to get some take away and ran into Tim. He's on a crutch and his leg is bandaged, otherwise he's okay.

We were talking a little bit, though he did'nt explain his exact role in all this to me or why he stabbed me. Before he left,

He kissed me.

It was brief but I still loved it.

Should'nt be a surprise that I'm not gonna tell Jay or Alex.

Rebecca Kralie.
