Chapter 106

Henry's P.O.V

"The only white church I know is the one close to Jameson's house and his mother is obsessed with the color yellow." Zach told us, a frown on his far.

We were all outside the house, far away from the loud music, I had explained to them all Dylan had told me on the phone and now I wasn't the only worried person.

"Well, let's go." I said and began heading for my car.

"Okay," they all began to follow.

"Wait," Gwen said and we all halted, turning to her. "Someone has to stay behind."

"Why?" Jaxton asked, confused.

"Just in case Dylan comes here," Gwen shrugged. "What if he thinks we are all here and he runs here? Someone has to be around."

She had a point.

"Uh, I'll stay then." Dominic volunteered.

"No," Jon shook his head. "You go with them, Gwen and I will stay behind and if Dylan comes back here or calls then we'll inform you guys." Jon assured us but stared directly at me. "I promise."

I nodded. "Thank you." I said and hurried into the car.

"If George or Amanda asks where I am, tell her it was something urgent!" Raven said as she climbed into the passenger's seat.

Jon and Gwen nodded. "Okay," Gwen replied.

I started the engine as soon as I was in, Zach got in last and once he shot the door, I drove away.

"This is crazy." Jaxton sighed.

I said nothing, driving as fast as I could to Jameson's house. I didn't like how scared he sounded, I hadn't heard him sound that frightened. I hoped he was okay and whosoever was chasing him hadn't caught him yet. I was so gonna beat the shit out of whosoever was planning on hurting him, if they even laid a finger on him, I was gonna kill someone.

"Henry, you might uh, you might wanna calm down before you rip off the steering wheel." Raven said as she quickly fixed her seatbelt.

I blinked, swallowing. "Sorry." I replied, releasing my grip in the steering.

"But what in the world was Dylan doing on a dark web?" Zach asked, using his it's stupid tone.

"Dylan is full of surprises, that we know." Dominic said.

"When I told him to get off that shit, he said live a little, and now he's about to die." Jaxton said and I gripped the steering tight again. "The irony."

"Jaxton!" Raven scolded.

"Sorry, I d-don't know what is wrong with me, it's the alcohol. What the hell was in that glowing drink?" Jaxton asked from behind.

"You don't wanna know." Raven said, faking a smile.

"How many did you have?" Dominic asked, frowning.

"Three? Four? I don't know." Jaxton muttered.

I increased the speed of the vehicle and Jaxton gasped in fear while Zach's head hit the car door.

"Ow, Henry! What the fuck?!" He complained but I said nothing.

I needed them to shut up because I needed to concentrate on the road, on getting to Dylan.

Few minutes later, we arrived at Jameson's house. I stopped the car and rushed outta the car the same time as the others.

I turned to the white church and looked around, Jameson's house was indeed beside the church and was definitely painted yellow. It was the only house on the street that had no Halloween decoration and that meant we were at the right place.

I looked around, hoping to see my white haired boyfriend. There were kids running around in their Halloween costumes, laughing and running around, teenagers and parents following them or walking on their own and talking.

"Dylan!!" Jaxton called out first.

"Jaxton," Zach called. "We can't just start screaming his name on the str-"

"DYL!!" I yelled, walking around.

"I guess we are." Raven said and called out his name as well.

"Let's split up, maybe we'll find him somewhere." Jaxton suggested and we all agreed.

Jaxton and Dominic went to their left, Raven and Zach went backwards while I went ahead.

"Dylan!!" I called, looking around. I began asking people if they saw a boy with white hair dressed in a creepy Peter Pan costume but no one seemed to have seen him.

"He's not here." Jaxton said as we all returned to the car. "And people kept staring at Dominic in a weird way." He added.

"Probably because he has no clothes on and is dressed like a male prostitute." Zach said with a smile while Dominic flipped him the finger.

"No one has seen him, I'm confused, I don't...he said he was here." I said, panicking. I looked around, running my hand through my hair.

I hope he's okay.

"Hey," Dominic placed his hand on my shoulder. "We'll find him, we will, he's gonna be around somewhere."

"We've searched everywhere, Dominic." I stated, throwing my hands in the air. "What am I gonna do? He sounded so...so scared on the phone and I just....I swear I'm gonna kill anyone who is behind this." I said, clenching my fists angrily. I was furious and wanted to hit something, I turned to my car and kicked the tyre severally.

"Henry, Henry, stop!" Zach said, pulling me back. "If you lessen the tyre then how are we gonna find Dylan?"

I ran a hand through my hair, breathing heavily as I paced around.

"Excuse me." A tiny voice said and I felt a hand touch my leg. I looked down and there stood a smiling kid, he was dressed as a ninja.

"Sorry, kid, we don't have any candy." Jaxton said sweetly to the child.

He shook his head. "I don't want candy, take." He said and handed me a white envelope.

I frowned. "Sorry, I think you're giving the wrong person."

"Nuh uh," he shook his head. "A man said I should give you this." He said with a big smile.

I stared at the kid for a short time, I was bewildered and didn't understand. I took the envelope from him and he quickly ran away.

"That was weird." Raven said as she walked over to me.

"What does it contain? Open it." Jaxton said as she stood beside me.

I opened the envelope and took out the letter in it, I opened it and read out loud.

"To save your friend, you have just few hours to find him. He saw us commit a murder and now he's got to go too," Jaxton gasped and covered his mouth. "But if you can save him, then maybe he gets to live."

"I'll give you series of clue on finding him, wherever a clue leads you to, the next clue lies there." Raven read once I stopped, my heart racing continuously. "You can't tell anyone because once you do, I'll....I'll slit his throat." Raven said and placed her hand on her throat.

"What the fuck?" Zach exclaimed.

"Your first clue." Raven continued. "We are of different races, we get bought and we get taken, we get used and we never complain, what am I?" Raven read and frowned. "What the hell?"

"This is some psycho shit, I'm telling you guys." Jaxton said, hugging himself.

"I call dibs on Johnathan," Raven said, huffing. "I'm sure this is one of his tricks! This has Johnathan written all over it!"

"We can't be so sure." I said and Raven shook her head.

"She's got a point," Zach agreed. "I mean the only murderer who escaped was Johnathan and he's got an obsession when it comes to Dylan. Dylan's missing and a murder was witnessed." He stated. "Dylan plus murder equals to?"

"Johnathan." Raven answered. "That explains it."

"Well, what do we do?" Jaxton asked with a shrug. "We can't just stand around and do nothing and blame the god of catastrophe, we have to solve this riddle because if you all didn't hear it, the maniac said he was going to slit Dylan's throat! I can't...I can't with this." Jaxton said and Dominic placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What do you have in mind, Henry?" Dominic asked. "We could call the cops, it doesn't say anything about not calling the cops."

"Oh, there it is," Raven muttered after flipping the paper to the back. "Don't involve the cops, I'm watching."

"Well, thanks for reading the back, Raven." Jaxton rolled his eyes.

"Hey, I didn't write this." Raven retorted.

I took the paper from her and read the clue again. "We are of different races, we get bought and we get taken, we get used and we never complain, what am I?" I reread and turned to them. "Anyone have any clue?"

"Are we seriously gonna play his game?" Zach asked.

"We don't fucking have a choice, Zach! You all heard what this letter says, we tell anyone and he dies! So let's all act like mature people and not put Dylan's life at stake!" I yelled, they all remained silent, I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Now, anyone have any idea what this means?"

"We get bought, we get taken," Jaxton frowned. "So, it's like some kinda goods?"

"But it said we are of different races, so I don't know." Zach shrugged.

"We get used and we never complain, we get used and we never complain." I repeated, trying to understand what it meant.

"Tissue paper!" Zach snapped his finger.

"Yeah, sure, Dylan's about to be flushed down the toilet." Jaxton said in a sarcastic tone, rolling his eyes.

"Well at least I'm trying," Zach muttered.

"So we have races, buying and selling and no right to say no," Dominic spoke.

"Does this have to do with some kinds goods?" I asked, frowning.

"Goods have no races." Zach said as he paced around.

"Buying and selling," Raven repeated in a small voice.

"What are you thinking?" Jaxton asked and we all turned to her.

"Buying and selling!" she gasped, her eyes wide. "Of course!" She snapped her fingers.

"What? What?" I asked, impatiently.

"Buying and selling! You're right, it's goods! But not just any goods. Grocery!" She said with a smile.

"Groce- how is it grocery?" Jaxton asked, confused just like the rest of us.

"Grocery. Goods. The races don't necessarily mean races," she stated.

I frowned, my brain slowly understanding what she was on about. "It's about the different sort of goods, how every shelf has a different package."

"Exactly." Raven snapped her fingers, smiling. "They are bought and they can't complain no matter what they are used for. Tissue paper, condoms, they are bought and all taken."

"So he is a grocery," Jaxton stated. "Which means-"

"Grocery store." Dominic and I finished, we looked at each other the second we chorused it and he smiled.

"Bingo!" Raven smirked.

I smiled. "Let's go." I said and rushed into the car

"Oh my God, you are so smart!" Jaxton said to Raven as he ran into the far with Dominic.

"Beauty and brains, jackpot!" Zach said with a grin as they got into the car.

I zoomed off quickly but then Zach asked the most important question.

"It doesn't say what grocery store. What do we do?"

"Shit!" Zach cursed.

"Can't you solve that too?" Jaxton asked her.

"You have brains too, boy, we all do!" She replied, sighing.

"What do we do?" Zach asked.

"We just have to check every grocery store around this place, they couldn't have gone to a far one." Dominic suggested.

"He's right," Raven nodded. "I mean, how hard can it be to find the grocery store with the next clue?"

***

"This is the hardest shit ever." Zach said as we rushed into the sixth grocery store.

"I jinxed it." Raven sighed, throwing her hair back.

"I'm worried, we wasted time." I said, swallowing.

"We did split up and all the grocery stores we went to didn't have any clue, this is the last one." Jaxton said as we looked around.

"How do we even know?" Dominic asked.

"Has to be something odd." I replied, walking ahead. "Let's hurry up." I said and we all ran, checking around for something that seemed out of place. Anything, but still no luck and I was started to freak out the more, I was starting to lose my shit. We had been looking around, checking everything and nothing, I even went to the cashier but nothing.

"Anything?" I asked once we all got to the back.

They all shook their heads. "No," Jaxton replied.

"This is so not how I expected this night to be." Zach said, sounding worried

I ran my hand through my hair. "Fuck! Fuck!!" I yelled, punching the wall.

"Henry! Henry, stop!" Jaxton said and gripped my hand, turning me to face him. "If we wanna get Dylan back then we need our A game, we need to focus and this isn't gonna help!"

"How are we supposed to find the next clue?! We have fucking gone to six different grocery stores!! Six! This is the last one around here!" I complained.

"You can't lose hope now, you're Dylan's boyfriend. I know you're worried, we all are. But please, let's all focus on getting Dylan back." Jaxton said and I nodded, sniffing.

"Yeah, sorry."

"Guys," Dominic called and we all turned to him, he was holding a pack of Lipton.

"What are you doing with that?" Raven asked.

"Isn't Lipton spelled as L-I-P-T-O-N?"

"Yeah?" Jaxton nodded. "What's wrong?"

He turned the front of the Lipton pack to us. "This one is spelled l-i-p-t-I-n."

I frowned. "Something that doesn't seem in place or make any sense." I muttered and walked towards him rapidly, I took the pack from him and opened it. There were no Lipton's in it, they were all stones on top of a paper. I took it out with a smile and Jaxton squealed happily.

"Wow! Jesus, Dominic, how did you notice something like that?" Raven asked as she came to stand next to me.

"I guess I looked hard enough." Dom shrugged.

"I am so proud of you." Jaxton said with a smile.

I opened the letter and read out loud so the others could hear what was written.

"A lot of people say I'm crazy, a lot of people say I deserve what I get, sometimes I think they are wrong and other times I wanna drown myself so I can sleep forever," I frowned. "But then I also wanna raise my hands and scream these words when they say I'm insane. True Truuuue."

"I told you it was Johnathan." Raven said, hands on her hip.

"What the fuck? How are we supposed to fucking crack this? This is a fucking suicide letter." Jaxton complained.

"Where do we even start from? It sounds like something ripped out of a person's diary." Zach stated.

"There are a lot of answers to this," Dominic said, staring at everyone of us. "A lot of people say I'm crazy, that means a mental asylum."

"Where Johnathan stayed." Raven muttered, folding her arms.

"A lot of people say I deserve what I get, that could relate to court." Dominic continued.

"Where Johnathan was judged." Raven faked a smile.

"Other times I wanna drown myself so I can sleep forever. Swimming pool? Beach?" Dominic shrugged. .

"Where Johnathan is gonna kill all of us." Raven sighed.

"I'm not dying." Jaxton murmured.

"I also wanna raise my hands and scream the words; people only do that at mountains or rooftops so we don't know if the next clue lies there." Dominic stated. "I'm confused."

"Pretty little liars, a new season and cast, that's us." Jaxton said, rubbing his left arm.

"It is complicated, let's all think hard enough, we could ask Jon and Gwen for help too." I suggested.

Jaxton nodded. "We should."

"I'll call Gwen and ask her for some help." Raven said and I handed the paper to her.

We all went outside and began brainstorming while Raven called Gwen and began asking her to try figure out the stupid riddle, we had spent almost thirty minutes outside trying to figure out what this meant. It couldn't be a mountain or a pool or river. Zach and I drove to the mental asylum Johnathan was admitted to but nothing, it wasn't the place and we came back to the others.

"We're running out of time." I said, panicking.

A car quickly drove to where we were, packing in front of us. We stared at the car, confused, wondering whom was in it and then Gwen jumped out.

"Gwen?" Jaxton called, just as surprised as the rest of us.

"What are you doing here?" Dominic asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be at my party?" Raven asked, her brows knitted.

"Yeah, I know but I tried calling you and I don't know why your phones weren't going through, but I got it!" She said as she walked towards us.

"Got what?" I asked.

"The riddle!" She grinned.

My eyes widen. "What do you know?" I asked, eager to know.

"Whosoever planted that only tried to distract you all from the real clue," Gwen said, looking at everyone of us, confusing us the more.

"H-How?" Jaxton asked.

"It's not a mountain or an asylum or whatever you think it is!" She said, turning to him. "I couldn't risk you guys running round the town for the wrong clue. The answer is right in the riddle." She said and turned to Raven. "Raven, could you please read the last sentence again?"

Raven nodded, opening the paper. "Okay, uh," she began to read. "But then I also wanna raise my hands and scream these words when they say I'm insane. True Trueee?"

"Exactly!" Gwen yelled. "True Trueee."

"What does that even mean?" Dominic asked, confused.

"It's the sound a train makes!" Gwen explained. "Truu Truuu. The other sentences don't mean anything!"

"Oh my God!" Jax exclaimed. "It was a tricky question!"

Raven gasped. "That maniac."

"Train station." I whispered. "It's a train station!"

Gwen nodded. "Yes!"

"You are a life saver!" I said, hugging her and running to the car.

"You are so smart, muah, muah, muah." Raven said and hugged her.

"I'm coming too, Jon's at the party with Christian and Tyler, watching." Gwen said and I nodded.

"I'll ride with her." Raven said.

"There's only one train station around here." Dominic said.

"We'll follow from behind," Gwen said and we all got into the cars and drove off.

We're coming, Dylan.

***

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the train station.

"Well, what are we supposed to look for here? A clue or Dylan?" Raven asked as we got out of the car.

"I don't know, I'm tired of this stupid game." Zach said with a sigh.

"Let's just keep looking." Jaxton said as we walked.

My phone rang and I froze, I quickly took it out and gulped. "It's Dylan," I answered. "Hello, Dylan?"

"Do you really expect Dylan to come to the phone right now?" An unfamiliar voice asked and laughed maniacally.

"If you lay a fucking finger on him, I will break all your bones and use them for Halloween decorations." I threatened, gritting my teeth.

"Charming," He replied, his voice was super thick, no, not super thick, it was computerized and I was trying to hear anything at the background, whatever could lead me to Dylan.

"What do you want? Where is he? I want to speak with Dylan, I need to know he's still there." I insisted, putting the call on loudspeaker.

"Go fuck yourself, Henry." The voice said.

"Oh." Gwen blinked.

"You guys have been doing great," he said. "I am really proud of you guys, you really are smart, I mean not too smart but meh."

"What is all these silly games, Allison?" Jaxton asked. "Just tell us where Dylan is, we've spent more than an hour with this stupid game of yours!"

"Easy now, kitten." He chuckled. "I'll give you your final clue,"

"Why didn't you just tell us that at the grocery store?" Dominic asked.

"I brought you all here because there's a key you all need to find, because you will need it in this final round. Here's the next riddle, guys."

We all exchanged looks, some of us sweating, all of us worried. "Tell us." I said firmly.

"People love to have me, more specifically kids. I bring them love but I can also be scary, I can be creepy but I liked to be hugged as well. Call me a serial killer or call me a life saver, and underneath the train, lays the key to heaven."

"Do you make this shit up?" Raven asked.

"As a matter of fact I do, amazing, isn't it?"

"No, no, it's just creepy." Gwen said blankly

"Smart actually." Jaxton muttered. "We can't figure it out until it's too late, that's what you want huh?"

"That's actually the point. You have twenty minutes, nothing more." He said with a sigh.

"Wait what? Twenty?!!" Raven exclaimed.

"That's not enough time!" I yelled.

"Well, you better start solving and looking for the key, aren't y'all like A students?"

"Listen, I will-"

"Goodbye, Henry." The voice said, cutting me off and hung up.

"FUCK!!!!" I screamed.

"This is messed up." Dominic shook his head.

"He sounds like Johnathan." Gwen said and Raven turned to her.

"RIGHT?!! I SAID SO!"

"Let's just call the cops, that's the best thing to do now, or I don't know, just something." Zach suggested.

"You guys can't call the cops," Gwen said. "It's the last thing you should be thinking of at the moment. We don't know what J-Lo is up to but we have to do all his stupid games and get our friend back without making any mistakes like calling the cops." Gwen stated.

"Well, we better start looking for...the key underneath the...train?" Jaxton said and rolled his eyes, he turned and began walking away.

"Wait," I said, stopping him. "Dominic, Gwen and Zach will search for the key while Raven, Jaxton and I will try figuring out the riddle."

They all looked at each other. "Okay," Zach nodded. "Come on, D."

"Don't call my boyfriend, D." Jaxton grimaced.

"Ugh, just come on." Zach said and walked away with Gwen and Dominic.

"Okay, so, it's something children love and fear." Jaxton spoke.

"But children love and fear a lot of things, like clowns." Raven stated.

"And literally everything." I muttered.

"It likes to be hugged, so a dog?" Jaxton asked.

I shook my head. "Nah, dogs aren't creepy. It also says call me a serial killer or a life saver."

"Dogs kill people." Jaxton shrugged.

"I don't think it's a dog,"

"Me neither." Raven agreed. "I bring them love but I can be scary, that's what he said right?"

I nodded.

"So...parents?" Raven shrugged.

"Funny." Jaxton said blankly.

"Well, what?" Raven asked, sighing.

"Other children?" I asked.

"Yeah, children can be creepy but I don't think so." Jaxton shook his head.

We kept mentioning the wrong things and I was starting to lose my mind.

"Hugs, creepy, serial killer, life saver." I mentioned, trying to get some kinda idea.

"Might as well be chucky." Raven snorted, turning away and my eyes widen.

Jaxton looked at me, he had the same look I had on my face.

We knew the answer!!

"Chucky!" Jaxton snapped his fingers. "Raven, you're a genius!"

Raven turned back to us. "What? I was just kidding, guys." She frowned at us. "We are not summoning a creepy doll."

"That's it right there!" I said to her. "Creepy doll."

"It's not a dog or whatever, it's a doll!" Jaxton grinned.

"A fucking doll! Chucky! Annabelle! All them evil dolls, they get hugged too cause those kids just happened to like dirty, ugly, scary looking dolls to normal ones." I said, smiling.

"But it said life saver as well, those ones are only serial killers." Raven said.

"But it's dolls in general. Some kids like Sofía hold onto their dolls for comfort, they are soothing, lifesaving!" Jaxton explained.

Raven gasped. "Oh shit! You boys are smart! Dolls!" She looked up at us. "That could only mean, Dylan's at the toy store!"

"I need to ask the others if they found the key yet, we're running late." I said and ran off to find the others.

Toy store.

The key lies underneath the train, hopefully they found it.

"Guys! We figured it out! We have to go!" I said as I ran towards them.

"But we haven't found the key yet." Gwen said as she walked towards me. "We don't know where it might be."

"What?"

"It says underneath the train, we've been searching underneath and no key yet." Zach said, he was kneeling and looking under the trains that drove past the rails.

"We need to go further, we have less than ten minutes." I said and began helping them look.

"Guys!!! Guys!!!" Jaxton shouted, we all turned to where his voice came from and saw him running towards us.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Dominic asked holding him once he finally got to us.

He began breathing hard. "Oh my God, that was a long run." He wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

"What happened? Is Raven okay?" Zach asked suddenly.

"Yeah yeah, your goddess is okay." Jaxton said with a nod.

"Jaxton, we don't have much time, we need to find the key." I said and went back to looking.

"I know. I found it." Jaxton said and I stood up.

"Where is it?"

"Underneath the train," Jaxton said, panting. "He didn't mean underneath the train. Not the train-train, it's the toy store train! The riddle tells us Dylan's at the toy store and the only toy store that has a train outside is Kiddies Love Toy store." Jaxton said. "It's not this train. Which means, Dylan's at Kiddies Love Toy Store, the key is there!"

"Wow, I fall in love with you the more." Dominic grinned.

Jaxton blushed. "Brains." He shrugged.

"Kiddies Love." I muttered. "Thank you, Jaxton! I can't thank you enough."

"Pfft, he's my friend, Henry." Jaxton smiled.

"Well, let's go!" Zach said and we all began to run back to the car.

"We have less then ten minutes guys!" Raven announced once she saw us running.

We all ran back to the car, I got in and so did the boys, Jaxton sitting in the passenger's seat, he strapped his seatbelt and I drove off.

***

"Stop! Stop. Stop. Stop. It's here." Jaxton said.

I quickly stopped the car and ran out of it and towards the toy store with the others behind me.

"Two minutes left." Gwen said, looking at her phone.

"Train." Zach pointed at the toy train at the side.

I ran towards it and began to look inside it, searching through it's windows. Jaxton and Dominic appeared by my side and also began to look for it.

"Guys, one minute." Gwen announced.

"Shit! Hurry guys!" Raven yelled.

"I can't fucking find it!" I said angrily, just wanted to kick it.

"I thought you said it was this one?" Zach asked, looking at Jaxton.

"I-It has to be, I mean I t-thought it was." Jaxton stuttered.

Raven gasped loudly. "Underneath!" She yelled. "Underneath the train!!"

My eyes widen.

Of fucking course.

"Guys, hurry!" Gwen said. "We have less than thirty seconds!"

I looked under the train and there was a small box there, I took it out and stood up, I ran to the door as I opened the box, taking out not just one key but a bunch of keys.

"What the fuck?!" Zach exclaimed.

"Oh shit." Dom cursed.

"This is screwed up." Jax cried.

"Sixteen seconds!"

"Henry! Hurry!!" Raven screamed.

"Fast! Fast! Fast!" Jaxton chanted.

I inserted the first key into the lock and turned but it didn't work, with shaky hands I tried the second key but that one didn't enter.

"Oh my God, four seconds." Gwen panicked.

"HENRY!" Raven began hitting the door. They were all talking, yelling in my ear while I tried to open. I inserted the third key and turned, it made a click sound and we all went silent.

I pushed the door open and we all ran in, shutting the door behind us.

"Did we make it?" I asked Gwen, I was almost out of breath, my heart was still racing and I was sweating like crazy.

Gwen nodded. "We made it in one."

"Yes!" Raven threw her hands in the air.

"I need water," Jaxton said and sat on the floor, panting heavily.

"Dylan?" I called, looking around the dark toy store, the only light we were getting was from the moon.

"Someone find the light switch." Zach said in a whisper.

"I can't even see properly." Raven said, turning around. Gwen turned on her phone torchlight and Zach did as well.

"I bet it's Claudia doing this shit." Jaxton said, still on the floor.

"Nah, I think it's Johnathan." Raven disagreed.

"Guys, can we just try to find Dylan." I said frustratedly.

"Welcome." The voice said and with a yelp, Jaxton got up quickly.

"We got here on time, where's Dylan?" I asked, yelling. "Show yourself!"

"I am not liking this." Jaxton said in a shaky voice.

"Dylan?!" Raven called out. "Johnathan, fucking release Dylan right now! Please."

"Please, I beg of you." Jaxton said and then the lights all came on. Jaxton gripped Dominic's arm tightly.

We all turned when we saw a brighter light on the staircase, my jaw dropped and I swear I turned cold.

"Is that..."

"Dylan?" Raven called softly.

There was a boy sitting on a chair at the ton of the stairs, he was tied and had a black bag covering his entire face.

"That's Dylan," Gwen muttered. "It's the same costume he was wearing when we left the house."

"Oh God." Jaxton exclaimed, his voice shaky.

"Dyl," I was about to run towards him when the voice spoke.

"Don't even think about it!"

I stopped.

A man suddenly walked down the upper stairs to where Dylan was and stood beside him. He was dressed in a black coat, like death would, the grim reaper, his face covered with a black mask.

"Let him go, he made a mistake, he won't tell anyone anything, we won't, I promise." I assured him.

"The problem is, I don't believe you." The man said.

"We fucking did what you asked us to! We played your silly game." Jaxton yelled.

"It was fun to watch." The man laughed. He took off the black bag, revealing a crying Dylan.

"Dylan." I began heading for him when the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Dylan, I froze.

"Come any closer and I'll send him to hell." He threatened.

I clenched my fists and took a step backwards. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Please, let him go, okay? We won't bother you ever." Dominic promised.

"He wanted to join us, he couldn't even stand the sight of someone being murdered." The man laughed.

"You're sick." Raven said and the man nodded.

"I am." He agreed. "Wanna say a few words?" The man asked Dylan and took off the tape on his mouth.

Dylan hissed and looked at us, his eyes red. "I should have listened to you guys," he cried. "These people are crazy, they are like next level crazy! They fucking murdered a fourteen year old kid!"

"Babe, it's okay, we'll leave together, okay? I'll take you home." I said, forcing a smile to make him know everything was gonna be fine even though I was scared.

"Well, you should never have come there. It was your initiation and you fucked it up." The man said, laughing.

Dylan turned to him. "You guys are fucking criminals! You deserve to be beheaded!"

"Dylan, please stop talking." Zach said.

"Dylan, stop." Jaxton said, his eyes teary.

"They are nothing but murderers, you think it's fun and that is why you deserve to be in a fucking mental asylum, asshole!" Dylan spat.

The man shook his head at him. "I do not like your tone, mister." He said and pointed the gun at Dylan's abdomen, pulling the trigger and shooting him twice.

Dylan let out a loud gasp, his eyes wide as he looked at me.

I screamed, the veins popping out in my neck. I felt as though my heart stopped, again. Just like the time Johnathan had shot him instead of me.

The man pushed Dylan's chair down the stairs and I ran to catch him while he rolled down the stairs.

"Oh God!!" Gwen screamed.

I caught the chair and a bleeding Dylan, we all untied him and I held him in my arms.

"Oh God, hey, hey. Dylan, It's okay." I said as I held him.

"Dylan, no, no, no. Why did you talk?!" Raven cried. "Dylan, hey, open your eyes."

"H-Hello, nine one one, I need a fucking ambulance." Gwen cried. "My friend's been shot!"

"Oh God, oh God." Dylan breathed heavily, his eyes focused on the ceiling as tears fell from his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey! Dylan, it's gonna be fine." Zach said, taking his left hand.

"Babe, keep your eyes open." I said as tears fell from my eyes.

"Dylan, don't, don't do this." Jaxton said as he sobbed.

"There's so much blood." Raven sobbed, she tore a piece of her dressed and pressed it against the wound, adding pressure.

"The man, he's gone!" Dominic said and I looked up at the stairs.

I was about to get up and chase after him when Dylan held me back. "P-Please s-stay."

"Why did you say those things to him? Why?" I cried.

"I'm sorry I d-didn't listen," Dylan cried. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. Henry and I forgive you." Jaxton said as the tears uncontrollably fell from his eyes.

"M-Mom's gonna be mad at me." Dylan sobbed. "She's gonna be mad and-"

"Stop talking, Dylan. Gwen, where are they?!!" I yelled.

"They're coming." She sobbed.

"Listen. Dylan. I l-love you, we love you and you have to stay alive for us okay?" I said, running my hand through his hair.

"Why didn't you say this to me when I was alive?" Dylan said and my brows knitted.

"W-What?"

Raven froze. "Did he just-"

Dylan suddenly began to laugh, shocking all of us. He sighed and sat up, smiling at all of us.

"Everybody, relax." He said and wiped off his tears.

I was staggered, I didn't understand what was going on right now.

"Dylan," Jaxton called. "What is...what is going on? You're not..dying?"

"I am confused." Dominic said, trying to make sense of it all.

"Fake blood." Dylan said and rose his shirt showing a busted bag of fake blood he had strapped under his outfit.

"What the fuck?" Raven stood up, wiping her tears. "What is this?"

"Is this some kinda joke?" Zach asked, angrily.

"It's called payback actually." Dylan replied with a smile.

"I am so confused at the moment." Jaxton said, dumbfounded.

***

Dylan's P.O.V

"Well, don't be, Jaxton." I said with a smirk. "I really deserve an Oscar."

"We fucking thought you were dying," Dominic said. "I'm not understanding what is going on at the moment."

"Dylan, what the hell is all this?" Henry asked, frowning at me.

I knew they were all shocked, trying to understand why I would do something this crazy.

"Don't act like I didn't warn you all about this happening, I did say I was gonna get you back." I said, folding my arms.

"Get us back for what? I am still shaking!" Raven yelled.

"Back in Westbrick, you all played a silly prank on me, remember? The whole oujia board thing."

"Dylan, that was like four months ago, what the fuck?" Jaxton frowned.

"Exactly. I had to wait till you all forgot about it and then strike. I told you, I'll get you all back." I shrugged.

"So, this was just a s-stupid prank? I was fucking scared something was going to happen to you!" Henry yelled.

"I know." I nodded. "I've been planning this for months, waiting for this day." I sighed. "I get that you all are scared now but hey, there's a good side to this. Now, you don't have to worry about me getting back at you." I smiled.

"We fucking thought Johnathan or Claudia was behind this but it was all you?" Zach scoffed.

"Yeah well, I had to make it look like this was Johnathan's doing." I shrugged. "I'm crazy, yes. But I would never be involved in the dark web, not now at least."

"I left my party because of you," Raven stated. "I tore my dress to put pressure on an injury that wasn't even there, my dress is stained with fake blood! Are you insane?"

"As a matter of fact I am," I nodded. "Oh come on, it was just a well thought out prank."

"Gwen already called an ambulance, what if they come here?" Dominic asked.

I smirked and looked at Gwen, who smiled.

"I didn't call any ambulance," she said and walked to stand beside me. "I didn't make any call because I'm also a part of this prank."

"Oh my fucking left boob!" Raven exclaimed, clearly surprised.

"Gwen, you? I thought you were helping us!" Jaxton huffed.

"We all did." Raven said.

"I was, I solved the second riddle for you." Gwen nodded. "I couldn't let any of you call the police so I had to drive over to where you all were and I wasn't in Westbrick when you all pranked Dylan, so I had to join forces with him last minute. I'm sorry."

"Unbelievable." Dom scoffed.

"And the man with the computerized voice?" Henry asked. "Who was that?"

I smiled. "Oh, you all know him." I looked up the stairs and the man with the computerized voice appeared, he walked down the stairs and came to stand at my right while Gwen stood at my left, he took off his mask and grinned.

"Sup guys?"

"Jon?"

"Okay, I'm mad." Jaxton said, folding his arms angrily.

"How did I not see that coming?" Zach chuckled.

"Well, I only told Jon Jon about my plans recently. I called him over and told him all about it. Gwen didn't know about the plan until tonight, we had to include her because she didn't deserve to be worried for nothing and she was going to be really useful." I explained, smirking.

"So, this was all....because of the silly prank we played at Raven's dad's lodge?" Zach asked, although he knew the answer.

I nodded. "I have to say, planning this and waiting for four months was worth it," I grinned. "Happy Halloween."

Dominic chuckled. "You're really crazy, you know?"

I smiled. "I know."

Dom walked up to me and hugged me. "I'm glad you're not dead."

"Thank you, stripper." I said and looked at Jaxton. "Can I grab your boyfriend's butt for like two seconds."

"No!" Jaxton quickly replied and pulled Dominic away.

"One?"

He shook his head at me while Dominic laughed.

"This is beyond crazy, Dylan. You scared us, we were running around trying to save you when you weren't even in danger, instead this was some sick twisted pretty little liar shit!" Jaxton said. I could tell he was angry, I knew he wanted to hit me with a pan continuously till I passed out.

"It was a harmless prank." Jon said, defending me.

"You just shut up." Raven glared at him. "I just found out that Eastwood's Stefan Salvatore and Caroline Forbes were in on this revenge thing with jigsaw," she said and pointed at me. "I am so furious, I didn't even suspect your ass."

"I mean, I understand that Jon would be a part of this horror movie but Gwen? Nuh uh." Jaxton said, folding his arms.

"Oh come on, I was only trying to help a friend. I helped you guys too, don't I deserve credit for that?" Gwen asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"Did Dylan ask you too?" Zach asked blankly.

"Uh, no...I mean, sorta. Does it matter? What matters is I helped my friends." Gwen said and placed her hands on her chest.

"She's turned evil." Jaxton said, staring at her.

"It was nice seeing you all scared." I grinned. "Was worth it, I'm happy."

"Boy, you need therapy." Zach snarled.

"Give the guy a break, at least he made your Halloween fun." Jon said. "I mean, you all got real scared and yeah it's a Halloween never to forget."

"Dude kinda has a point." Dominic said and Jaxton smacked his chest.

"Don't agree. We're supposed to be mad." He whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I've been absent from my party for two hours." Raven stated. "A party I threw and wanted you to witness."

"Nice costume, Raven. The blood really brings out the color of your eyes."

Raven gave me the middle finger and looked away. "I'm ignoring you."

"You can't ignore me." I smiled.

"Fuck, I hate you so much, Dylan." Jaxton said and approached me, he hugged me tightly and I hugged him back with a smile.

"I love you too, Jaxton."

"This wasn't funny, Dylan."

"I know. I see you took Grandma Athena's idea on the kitten outfit, huh?" I said, wiggling my brows at him.

"Shut up." He blushed hard.

"How did you make your crotch fit in so well and not leave a trace?" I asked in a whisper.

Jaxton sighed. "Wasn't easy."

I laughed.

"The mom speech was a good touch." Jaxton said and I nodded.

"Yeah, I know. Mom knows about this plan though." I announced. "Just in case anyone tries to report to her or blackmail me."

"She does?" Zach asked and I nodded. "Y'all crazy. I almost pissed my pants when he shot you."

"You love me." I smiled at him.

"I don't. You disgust me."

"You love me." I repeated and approached him.

"Don't come any closer, I'm so mad at you right now!" Zach said as he moved away.

I pulled him back and wrapped my arm around him from behind, I kissed his cheek while he grimaced. "Ew, get lost, you sick head!"

Jaxton chuckled. "Beat him."

I looked away from Zach and at Henry, he still looked furious. He spun around and stormed out of the toy store.

"I don't think Henry will take it easy with you, Dylan. He's super mad, you have no idea how worried he was about you." Raven said and I sighed.

"I'll be right back." I said and went after him. Henry was heading for his car angrily, I followed behind him. "Henry, Henry wait."

"Dylan, what the hell?" Henry turned to me. "Do you have any idea how I was worried? I was going crazy thinking something had happened to you! I was running helter skelter, screaming at all of ten because I wanted to get you back!" He yelled, glaring daggers at me.

"I kept asking myself, what if they kill him? What if I meet his body there? What if I get there a second later and the man on the phone decides not to spare your life then what do I do? What do I tell your mother? What am I gonna do with myself?!" Henry yelled letting out a miserable sigh, worry and anger stitched into his tone.

I just watched him, I didn't utter a word until he was done. He roughly ran his hand through his hair and looked away from me.

He turned back to me and continued his ranting. "I was scared, I was asking myself if Johnathan had caught you, if he was back! I was worried sick, praying that you were okay but it was just you putting us through this stupid emotional ride and it wasn't funny, Dylan! It wasn't!"

Hearing him say this made me feel a little bad for what I did, I mean i expected it. I know it was like extreme and shocking and I pulled an Allison PLL stunt on them but it was just a harmless and well thought out revenge prank that I am not hundred percent sorry for, I had prepared myself for all kinds of what the fuck conversation already. I didn't say a word to him while he spoke, I didn't interrupt him or anything, instead, I smiled.

He frowned once he saw that I was just smiling and not even doing anything or trying to calm him down, I didn't look entirely creepy because I had washed off the paint from my face and I had my face back to normal and not dead peter pan kind.

"What's funny? Are you even listening to anything I'm saying?" He asked, his face stuck in an incredulous expression.

"You love me." I said, smiling.

"What?"

"You really are in love with me, Henry." I said with a loud sigh. "And I love you too, Mr. Ashcroft."

"Dylan, this isn't-"

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I am sorry I got you extremely worried. I was only getting you guys back for what you all did and if you actually do think about it, it was pretty cool. I mean, I did make this Halloween the best and a little bit scary." I smiled. "But that's not the point," I cleared my throat, wiping off the smile. "You don't have to say anything so I'll do it." I said and looked up at him. "Henry, my beloved, I am sorry for putting you in such a state where you always murdered all our friends and dropped their bodies in the backseat of your car. Trust me when I say, doing this was a sort of hard for me because I thought about you and how you'd feel but then you did me wrong a lot of times in Westbrick and I thought, hey, he deserves this. And so, I went ahead with this. Sorry" I said with a pout. "Don't be mad, you love me."

Henry looked at me for the longest of time. "You don't just say sorry, Dylan. What if I had called the cops and they found out this was just a crazy prank?"

"I knew you wouldn't have and plus Gwen was there to keep an eye on you all," I smiled. "And no, this isn't an ordinary sorry, it's a sorry with a cherry on top, raspberry flavored because you like raspberry and it's from the bottom of my heart." I said and placed my hand on the right side of chest.

"Your heart is on the left." He said in a bored tone and I quickly moved my hand to the left without breaking eye contact, patting it.

"There."

Henry chuckled. "You are one big ball of mess."

"A hot one, add that." I bit my lower lip.

"Come here." He said and pulled me into a tight hug, he kissed my head deeply, squishing me and almost suffocating me.

"Hen-ry, I...c-can't b-breathe."

He released his hold on me but didn't let me go still. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around him as well, kissing him on the lips. "I love you."

"You are gonna kill me, Dylan Dexwell, I swear." Henry said, letting out a sigh.

"Only if you cheat on me." I cocked my head to the side, smirking.

"Then I'm gonna be alive for a long time." Henry said and I laughed.

"Yay, they made up." Raven said bluntly.

"I told you no one would die." Jaxton said as they marched towards us.

"We better fucking head back to my party because I need a drink or...seven." Raven said as she walked over to Gwen's car. "I have a psycho best friend."

"I love you." I yelled to her hearing.

"No, you don't." Raven said as she got into the car, slamming the door shut.

I giggled. "You did great today, sweetie!!" I said and she gave me the middle finger again.

I turned back to Henry, my hands wrapped around his torso. "Wanna head to Raven's? She's gonna be mad if I don't turn up and I heard Raven's parties are always all night."

"Sure." Henry replied, smiling, but a second later his smile turned into a confused frown. "Wait, I thought I was mad at you?"

I snorted. "You have no idea what kinda powers I have as Peter Pan, I can make you love me more and forget. I'm special like that and you can't argue because you know it's true."

"Oh, really now?" Henry said and guffawed loudly.

I snickered. "Yeah, really."

Henry leaned closer and kissed me again, deeper this time but it wasn't long because Raven pressed the horn in Gwen's car. "Let's go!"

"Yeah, boys, you're our ride." Jaxton said from the backseat of Henry's car. I didn't even know they were in already.

"Let's go." Henry said and I nodded.

I got into the passenger's seat and strapped the seatbelt, smiling widely. Henry started the engine and drove after Gwen.

"Jaxton, I'm in love with Dominic's outfit!" I said, turning to look at him.

"Dylan, look away from my man! Yours man looks good too! Fucking look at him!" Jaxton yelled and kicked my seat.

"Quit being a baby." I said, laughing along with Henry.

***

We arrived at Raven's house and once we got there, I was impressed with the decorations. The party was still lively, people were still partying and it was past eleven already. We all walked into the house and I smiled, impressed with how beautiful the house was made to look and the different sort of costumes everyone had on.

"This is beautiful, Raven." I said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah, sell you already missed half of it." Raven said and sighed afterwards. "Well, let me go change this...outfit of mine."

"You don't have to, the blood gave it s good touch." Gwen said and I nodded.

"Didn't I say so." I shrugged.

"I'm gonna go get me some drinks." Raven said and disappeared into the crowd with Zach.

"I wanna understand something," Jaxton said, holding a glowing drink. "How did you get to the toy store? Who gave you the key?" He asked, his eyes widen a second later. "Oh my God, did we break in?"

I laughed. "No. Jon knows who owns the store and she gave him the key so we can carry out our mission."

"Why would a random lady give Jon her keys?" Jaxton asked.

"She's my aunt." Jon replied, his arms around Gwen's waist.

"Oh."

I nodded.

"I'm glad Henry forgave you, it was my biggest fear." Jon said, chuckling.

Henry turned to him with a glare. "We have a problem now."

Jon swallowed his laughter back. "Oh come on!"

Henry looked away from him and just as Jon was about to say something, Raven returned with two guys behind her carrying trays of drinks.

We all took one each, Henry took two which made me worry.

"You're not planning on hitting Jon, are you?" I asked.

"I'm drinking so I don't hit him." He replied.

"Okay, Gwen and I will be far away." Jon sid while Gwen laughed as he took her away.

"I must say, I am impressed with your prank." Dominic said, raising a cup at me.

"Aw, thank you." I smiled.

"Don't give him credit or he'll do it again." Jaxton said, putting Dominic's hand down.

"Raven, your party is lit." I said and she huffed.

"You've been here for two minutes, Dylan." She stated.

I nodded and took a sip from my drink as an excuse for not replying.

"Hey, guys." A voice said and approaching us was christian and Tyler. Tyler was dressed as a bunny, he was so Innocent and cute while Christian was a soldier.

"Oh my God, hi." I hugged Tyler while Jaxton hugged Christian.

"You guys look so cute." Raven smiled.

"Thanks." Tyler blushed. "You all look amazing."

"Aw, thanks." I replied.

"Thank you."

"We didn't see you guys when we arrived, did you all just come?" Christian asked.

"Long story." Zach shrugged.

"Really long." Jaxton smiled.

"I love the bunny outfit, Tyler." I said at the shy kid.

He chuckled. "Thank you, Dylan. Creepy s-suits you." He said, pointing at me.

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult but whatever, thanks." I grinned.

Jax and I chatted with Tyler while Christian talked with Henry and Dominic, it was a fun conversation with Tyler telling us how things were with Christian and how the boys which were Christian's brothers had been helping.

Mental reminder; visit those boys.

"Oh my God!" Raven exclaimed. "What is that cum guzzling cock sucker doing in my house?" Raven asked, scrunching her face as she fixed her sight elsewhere.

We all followed her gaze and turned to see Claudia looking around, dressed as a leopard. Well, a slutty leopard. It was like a swimming trunk but it had a tail like and she had her boobs on display and cat ears too or all...leopard.

"What is she doing here?" Henry asked, sounding irritated.

"Well, I guess the saying is true, a whore never misses a chance to get a free drink." I said and sipped my drink.

"Who is that?" Christian asked.

"Someone of little importance." Jaxton replied.

Raven stormed over to where she was and I turned to Tristian. "Excuse us, we'll continue our conversation later, we gotta stop a murder."

"Sure." Christian nodded.

Jaxton and I with our boyfriends followed Raven to the leopard because we were meant to keep the bad energy away.

"You must have grown some balls for you to be here." Raven said and Claudia turned to face us.

"Oh, hey." She smiled sweetly.

"No, honey. No, don't do that." Jaxton said, shaking his head.

"Don't do what?" Claudia asked.

"Pretend to be nice and sweet, Jezebel." Jaxton answered.

"What the hell are you doing here? It doesn't look like you were invited because if you were, Raven wouldn't be planning on strangling you." Henry said, angrily.

Claudia looked down and back at Henry with a sad expression. "Henry, I-"

"I thought after my Nana slapped you, you'd have disappeared from Eastwood but I guess not." I sighed.

Claudia glared at me for a second and smiled. "Well, I'm not leaving until I clear out all misunderstandings."

"We're so honored that you're here, even though you were clearly not invited." I replied, smiling back at her.

"Get out before I have you thrown out in a humiliating manner." Raven said and flipped her hair.

"Listen, I-"

"I'm sorry, did I make it seem like this was negotiable?" Raven said, giving Claudia a soured look. "Go back to the forest, she-leopard." Raven deadpanned. "Who fucking gave you the audacity to walk into my house?"

"I...sorta did." Zach said, appearing beside Claudia. "I invited her."

"What?" Raven turned her gaze to him.

"Why would you do that?" Henry asked, clearly surprised.

"And to think you were getting smart." I sighed.

"Zach, I love you and all but that was a dumb move. Except if you invited her so Raven can humiliate her then that's fine, I'm fine with it, we're all fine with it." Jaxton said with a nod.

"Dominic, don't give Jaxton any more drinks." Zach said and Dominic shrugged.

"From what I have heard, you brought in a walking catastrophe. Come on, Jaxton." Dominic said and pulled Jaxton along with him.

"Look, Claudia is trying to make up for her wrong deeds, okay? Ever since Henry kicked her out, she's been staying at a hotel."

"The middle of the road would have been better." I muttered.

"Zach, get her out of my house." Raven said through gritted teeth.

"Babe, please." Zach begged, a little smile on his face. "She's leaving Eastwood tomorrow anyways."

Raven groaned. "Fuck!" She turned and walked away.

"She just has to stay the fuck away from me is all." Henry said and walked away before Zach could say anything.

"Well, I'm gonna go to my boyfriend." I smiled. "Try not to slip and hit your head on the floor and die, Claudia." I said and turned, walking away. "Everybody hold your boyfriends! We've got a boyfriend hunter here!" I announced as I walked to where Henry was.

Raven's party was fun I had to admit, I danced with my friends and my boyfriend and Claudia was far away from us. We did shots, played games, we took several photos and did stupid things. Everything was funny and that was because I was starting to get drunk.

Raven made my night worth it, she fed me continuously and everyone who came here was having fun, I mean she fucking had glowing drinks.

It was midnight, and I had to go home, my family were still gonna be up and I just had about two hours to spend with them at home before everyone would fall asleep.

"I have to go." I said. I was sitting in between Henry's lap on the couch, facing him, my head on his shoulder.

"Do we have to?"

"I have to, you can stay if you want to. It's tradition to spend today with my family and I still have two hours to do so." I said and kissed him.

"I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind if you stayed with me."

"Nope but I can't do that." I said and kissed his nose.

"Fine. I'll drop you."

"No," I laughed. "If you do then you'll stay and miss out on this amazing party."

"It is amazing." He grinned. "But who will drop you?"

"Jon? He's gonna be leaving anyways, Gwen said they'd leave once it's midnight." I answered, caressing his cheek.

"You sure you don't want me to drop you at home?"

I shook my head. "I," kiss. "Love," kiss. "You." Deep kiss.

"I love you too, marshmallow."

"Don't drink too much so you can drive yourself home,"

"I'll be leaving soon anyways, I just need to talk to the boys about something." Henry said and I nodded.

"Sure, Zaddy."

His brows flew up. "Oh, I'm Zaddy now?"

"Of course you are, silly. We will roleplay later," I patted his shoulder. "You know, you are so hot."

"I know, baby boy." He smiled. "You be a good boy tonight."

I chuckled and got off him. "You've got a boner."

"It's your fault." He chuckled and pulled me back on top of him, a gasp escaped my mouth right before he kissed me again. I smiled in between the kiss me, my hands caressing both sides of his face.

"Bye." I said and quickly got off him before he could pull me back.

"Hey, Dylan, I'm gonna go drop Gwen off and go home. We still have school tomorrow." Jon said as he walked over to me, his arm around Gwen.

I smirked. "First of all, I know you are not going home, you're gonna bang Gwen all night." I stated.

"Dylan, you are drunk, aren't you?" Gwen chuckled.

"Still doesn't mean I can't tell my left from my right."

"Dylan, you pointed backwards and at us." Gwen said, putting her arm on Jon's shoulder. "You're drunk."

"Just a little." I replied.

Jon shook his head. "Look, I'm not..."

"Don't bother lying to me, Jon-Jon, I'm your best friend." I pouted. "Anyways, can you drop me home before you both have protected sex, please?"

"Sure." Gwen agreed. "A lot of kids will not make it to school tomorrow and when they do, they'll all have hangovers." Gwen sighed. "I feel bad for the ones who are still here."

"I might be one of them kids with hangover." I replied with a nod. "Let's go. Oh, I have to say goodbye to Raven and Jaxton."

"Meet us outside." Jon said and I nodded before going in search of my best friends.

"Dylan, hey," Christan greeted as he walked up to me with Tyler beside him.

"Hey, what's up?"

"We're about to leave, we need to be in school early tomorrow." Christian said while Tyler nodded.

"Hopefully we all get enough of sleep, I'm leaving too."

"Oh, we'll see you tomorrow then." Tyler said, smiling.

"Of course, sweetie. I need to find Jaxton and say goodnight to him and Raven."

"Check the kitchen," Christian instructed.

"Thank you." I said and hugged them both. "Goodnight Tristian."

"Goodnight," They chorused. "Wait, what?" Christian asked but I was long gone with a smile on my face.

I said my farewells to my best friends and their boyfriends right before I left with Jon and Gwen.

****

"Get up! Get up!" A stupid voice yelled into my ears, I ignored it and decided to continue sleeping when lights filled the room and affected my eyes. I groaned and turned, pulling the blanket upwards and covering my face with it but a second later, it was ripped away. I opened my eyes angrily and saw Jaxton staring at me with a frown.

"What the fuck do you want?! Turn off the light."

"Get dressed! We have school." Jaxton said. I ignored him and covered my face with the pillow.

"I don't need school."

"You do if you wanna graduate, attendance matters." Jaxton said and I mentally screamed, I threw my legs up in the air, wiggling them angrily before sitting up.

"I hate you."

"Yeah, I know, love." He murmured.

"Get dressed, there are painkillers right on your dresser because I know your head will be killing you at the moment. I'll be downstairs with your Grandma." He said and walked out of my room with a smile, closing the door after him.

He was right, I was having a bad headache. How much did I drink last night? Definitely not that much. I took the pain killers and dragged myself out of bed, I stripped off my clothes and walked towards the bathroom. If anyone was to walk in right now, I was sorry for them.

Ten minutes later, I was all ready. I walked down the stairs and Grandma Athena was putting a lot of food on Jaxton's plate.

"You ate getting skinny, young man. Eat more." She scolded.

"Good morning, family." I greeted and slumped on the seat next to Jaxton. I looked around and saw no trace of Dad, he would have been on the dinning by now. "Where's Dad?"

"Urgent early meeting." Mom replied as she walked to the table, holding some utensils.

"You look ugly." Jaxton said to me as he ate.

"That's all your fault. Why did you even come here? Don't ever wake me up."

"Don't you remember? You asked me to come over here and wake you up cause you'd be sleeping like the dead." Jaxton said and I frowned at him.

"I never said that."

"You did."

"I would have remembered, Jaxton."

"You told me before you left the party last night, or well, this morning." He said and took a sip from his tea.

"Well, you shouldn't have."

"You said no matter what, I should come over and wake you up." Jaxton said and shrugged. I took a good look at him and saw that he still looked hungover, like he hadn't gotten much sleep, like me.

"You look miserable." I told him as Grandma Athena helped put food in my plate. "Thank you, ma." She smiled in response.

Jaxton sighed. "What can I say? My boyfriend was dressed as a stripper and me a kitten, sex gotta happen." He whispered.

I chuckled. "Aw, that's so sweet."

"My ass is still sore." Jaxton said and the table went silent.

"Jaxton, no mentioning of asses on the table." Mom said in a polite tone as she fed Davina.

I chuckled. "Maybe speak more silently." I told him.

"So, how was the party, Dylan?" Grandma Athena asked me.

I smiled. "It was actually really fun, I enjoyed myself."

"Well, that's good."

"Shouldn't you be mad, I got home after midnight after attending a party on a school night?" I asked, shrugging.

"You should know by now we are not normal people, Dylan." Mom said, smiling at Davina.

"Well, I'm glad I was home early to come watch the movie with you guys before you all slept." I said with a grin.

Mom looked away from Davina and at me. "Dylan, you fell asleep three seconds after you sat beside me."

"And when we asked you to go up to your room and get some rest, you slept on the stairs." Grandma Athena said with a chuckle.

I ate slowly, chewing continuously to avoid speaking.

"Interesting." Jaxton laughed.

"Shut up or I'll eat your food." I threatened and looked at the time. "Oh shit, school starts in forty minutes. Wait," I frowned, my head trying tp understand it all. "When did I wake up?" I turned to Jaxton. "Did you wake me up earlier than I should have been awake?"

"Your mother sent me." Jaxton quickly said and I shook my head at him.

"I can't believe you did that, Jaxton!" I groaned and took out my phone, I dialed Henry's number, it rang but he didn't answer. I dialed it again and again but no answer. "I think Henry's still asleep, I'm gonna head over to his and wake him before he misses school." I said and got up. "Jaxton, you coming?"

Jaxton shook his head instantly. "Oh no, I have your food and mine to eat now." He said and wiggled his brows at me.

"Dick." I said and picked up my backpack. "Love you." I pecked Grandma Athena and mom's cheek. "Bye, nemesis." I said, smiling at Davina before running off. "Give Jaxton my lunch to bring to school!" I yelled as I ran out of the house.

I took a bus to Henry's bus stop because it was risky to walk this morning since we just had less than forty minutes before school starts.

"Good morning, Catherine!" I greeted as I walked into the house, I ran over to her and gave her a tight hug.

She chuckled, hugging me back. "Dylan, good to see you."

"How are you?"

"I'm okay, sweetie. How are you? And your mom and sister?"

"Good, good, good." I replied and she laughed.

"Oh, I heard your grandma's back in town, I might go see her later today." Catherine said, a smile on her face.

Catherine still wasn't able to properly walk, she still had to use her wheelchair but it wasn't all bad, her legs were moving slowly.

"That's great, she actually wants to see you too." I grinned.

"Ah, look who it is." A familiar voice said, I turned to see Daniel with a grin on his face, dressed in a suit of course.

"Danny!" I hugged him. "Hi! How are you? It's been a long time!"

"I'm good, you don't even ask of me or call me."

"What? That's not true, I asked Henry about you two days ago, didn't he tell you?"

"Nope, he didn't." He shook his head.

Probably because it was a lie.

"You look amazing, it's so good to see you, I wish we could chat but I'm late for school or will soon be." I said and turned to Catherine. "Where's Henry?"

"In his room, I haven't seen him all morning."

"I have been calling his phone, I'm sure he's still asleep." I sighed.

"Here, take his breakfast, make sure he eats before he leaves." Daniel said and handed me a tray with bread on a plate, butter and a cup of tea on it.

"Sure, I will." I said and took it from him. "Really is nice to see you, Dan." I said as I walked up the stairs and towards Henry's room. I used my elbow to push down the doorknob and my shoulder to push it open.

"Henry, we're gonna be late, why aren't you answering my c-" I shrieked in horror and the tray fell from my hands and to the floor, everything shattering.

My eyes widen at the sight in front of me, I blinked hoping somehow I would see reality and it would be that I was hallucinating but I wasn't. I wasn't hallucinating. This wasn't a dream. Right in front of me, Henry was laying on the bed with Claudia beside him, both of them unclad, uncovered and in each other's arms.

I felt like my heart had completely come to a stop, blood completely drained from my face and I was sent reeling backwards.

Henry opened his eyes and looked at me once the tray had fallen, causing a noise, his eyes widen once he saw me and Claudia beside him, once he saw I had seen it all. The she devil quickly pulled the blanket up to cover herself.

My brain was desperately trying to make sense of it all, of this, my mouth kept opening and shutting like a goldfish with no sound coming out.

"Dylan, I can e-"

I quickly ran out, slamming the door shut behind me. I ran down the hall even though my legs were shaky and the picture was printed in my head. I tripped and fell but rapidly got up once I heard the door open.

"Dylan, wait!"

I couldn't,

I couldn't stay for another second.

I ran down the stairs quickly, not caring if I was going to fall. Daniel and Catherine turned and looked up at me, a confused look on their face.

"Dylan, what is-" I ran past Daniel, pushing him aside unintentionally and almost losing balance again.

"Son, what is going on?" Catherine asked, worry and fear stitched in her tone.

But I couldn't speak, I couldn't say anything. I just ran out of the house with Henry behind me, screaming my name like a mad man or if I might say,

A cheat that had been caught.
