(Alex POV)
We sat staring at each other for about a minute.

And then Zoe came in, tripping over the tile floor.

She ruffled through the drawers and cabinets, searching for something. When she found it, she left.

"Oh.. we should probably check on James then, shouldn't we?"

Holy shit! How could I forget about James?

We carefully left the room, to see that someone had brought out the flashlights.

"Ok. The paramedics say that we should just try and slow the bleeding until someone can get here. Zoe, did you get those towels?" Maria was acting like she knew what she was doing, which was probably true, seeing as she reeealy wanted to be a doctor.

You know, I dabbled in medicine for a bit.

Not the time, Hamilton.

Oh. Bringing out the full last name now, are we?

One of my friends is bleeding out on the floor. So yeah. Shut up.

Eventually an ambulance came, and took James away on a stretcher. We where all sitting on a bench outside, waiting for our parents to pick us up. We didn't want to go home in the dark.

Jordan looked like heck. He was wrapped in one of those shock-blankets, with dark circles under his eyes. His hair was even messier than normal. The flashing lights didn't help making him look like he was dying.

Side note, I was never good at making people feel good after traumatic shituations. But I wanted to do something, so I scooted over to him and hugged him awkwardly.

Surprisingly, he let me. Oh cool?

So what are you just in love with all of your friends now?

Wtf I'm comforting him. His boyfriend might die. You know what that feels like, right?

...

That's what I thought.

Eventually my mom came to pick me up, and I went home.

"Or maybe it's Washington! Or-"

"Hammy."

The thought had crossed his mind that James might have become like me, and was wondering who might become his.

"What, Alex."

"It's not like every time one of my friends gets hurt they become like me. People get hurt. Also, it seems like you have no concern for his health at all."

"Well, up till now he hasn't really been in the forefront of conversation. I barely know him."

"Yeah but that doesn't you can just not care.."

He plopped down next to me, crossing his arms like a frustrated child.

"How could a thirteen year old girl beat me in an argument?" He mumbled under his breath.

I wanted to rebuttal that, but I decided against it.

The next day, the power had come back on, and we went back to school. There where rumors about what had caused the blackout. Someone said a dude had committed suicide by running straight into a transformer, another said something about terrorists, and I heard one dude say it was because of the Illuminati. No joke.

My phone buzzed, notifying me that someone had texted me.

You have received 10 notifications from the Hamilsquad chat

I checked the chat.

PicanteLin: You guys okay? I heard that there was a blackout in your area.
ZeFrenchBoi: Blackout! Blackout!
PicanteLin: ??
ZeFrenchBoi: In The Heights. I thought you wrote that.
PicanteLin: ohhh.
PicanteLin: but are you all okay?
IsThisGoodEnoughZoe?: one of our friends cracked his skull.
PicanteLin: Oh god is he okay?
ZeFrenchBoi: He should be fine. They said he should be fine. He might have to get a metal plate installed in his head tho.
PicanteLin: Well that's good I guess.

Lauren ran up to me.

"Hey.. um.. Alex? About last night? I just wanted to tell you that-"

"Lauren. It's fine."

"So are we....?"

"Not unless you make it official."

Oh god Alex why.

She blushed and stammered incorrectly. She was about four inches taller than me, but she somehow looked up at me.

Dang was she cute.

"O-okay then um you wanna come over to my house my parents would be fine with it."

"Sure"

(A/N)

Heeeeey mah dudes!

I woke up this morning to 1k views. How? Why?

Sorry for not updating sooner. I have been sucked into the world of RPing and it's a problem.

Next question.

Herc.

Or.
