They had finally calmed Trina; she had given Robbie a cut lip and a bruise on Jade's shoulder as they tried to stop her kicking.
"And we are back" said the show host "with more exciting surprises"
His eyes gleamed as he said surprises.
"Our next contestants are Andre Harris and Trina Vega, the question is for Andre: During the sleepover at Wanko's, what time did Trina take a wazz?"
Was this guy mad? He thought that Andre actually checked the time when Trina had gone to do her own thing?
"Ten" he guessed.
DOINK
"Andre's doink is: TUG O' WAR"
As a little boy, Andre loved that game; he would spend his time pulling on a little jump rope with his grandma; before she went crazy- she would let him win of course. But those memories soon turned into nightmares as he was pulled into the midst of the room, he could see, from the corner of his eyes; Dave; their host, eyes gleaming.
Ropes were tied tightly around all four limbs of the musician, and he was yanked into four different directions. Andre's screams echoed around the roundish room, as the men pulled more and more. He felt his limbs rip out of their sockets excruciatingly.
Tori's hand flew to her mouth as she watched the tears running down her best friend's face, out of the corner of her eye she could see Trina's eyes starting to water; this time it was because she cared for someone other than herself.
12:49 PM in the police station
"Where's Andre?" screamed Andre's grandma
"Ma'am I realize you are worried, but you don't have to keep shouting. I assure you that your grandchild will be back home soon"
"I don't know you" she retorted, freaking out.
The police officers were moaning in defeat, that crazy woman had been calling for her grandchild for fifteen minutes now.
Now, everyone might have thought Andre's grandma gave him the hardest time in the world, but truth be told he was all she had.
When he was a young boy, just ten, his parents had been fighting very often, and his older sister went out with her own gang every night; leaving the little boy at home. Since he was scared of being home alone, he would stay over at his grandma's place.
She was strict, not in an abusive way, not at all. But she knew how to raise a well behaved boy.
· Andre, never be a bad person
· Always tell the truth
· That ain't a way for a good boy to behave
· You must follow your dreams
· Give it your best
· Never lie, never cheat, never give up
But she was also kind, and he loved her morning pancakes covered with buttermilk caramel syrup for her favorite boy.
"You know those pancakes are for my one and only child, Andre" she would say proudly.
But as years went by, his grandma's behavior started changing. She would suspect everyone, freak out over everything and sitting alone at home for six years.
Doctors called it paranoia…. Alzheimer…. Old age…. Didn't matter, she wasn't the same grandma anymore, by that time, Andre's parents had separated and his sister had gone off to college, and he stayed with his crazy grandma. The two were still as close as ever.

Andre lay on his back, limbs aching severely from stretching. Next to him was Trina, whose tears were falling freely and he felt a gush of warmth, so he smiles weakly at her.
Over the other side of the room stood Tori too and he knew in his heart he had to keep going, so, stumbling, he got up to continue the game.
