*Jake*

"Holy shit that was crazy!" CC shouted as we exited the venue.

The mosh pit went too hard and ended up with security having to evacuate the crowd before someone got seriously hurt, ending the show a little early.

"Hopefully nobody got hurt, though. Could have sworn I saw a girl go down," I said.

"I saw a medic, too," Andy said. "I'm sure she's fine."

All of a sudden...

"JESS!!!" we heard a scream come out of nowhere.

We turned to see a kid, probably a teenager, wearing sunglasses running down the sidewalk by the bus parking lot.

"What the-?" Andy asked.

He kept screaming and running around like crazy, bumping into a bunch of people, until one person shoving him to the ground.

"Shit!" CC said as we ran over to help him, but when we grabbed his arms he yelped and panicked, backing up and stumbling.

"Whoa, hey, kid, calm down, its okay," Andy said.

"Who are you!?" he shouted, trying to get away. "Where's Jess!? Where am I?!"

"Kid, relax, its alright. You're safe. My name is Jake, and this is my friend, CC. Are you okay?" I said, trying to calm him down.

"I-I'm okay, but i need to find my sister! JESS!!!" he said, trying to run, but ending up crashing into a post, making us all wince and help him up, his sunglasses suddenly falling off his face and that's when I froze.

His eyes were a milky-white color, and around them looked pale red, a bit scarred and damaged.

A burn scar....

He's blind.... That explains why he was bumping around and even slammed straight into the post just now.

"Holy shit...." CC mumbled.

"L-Let me go, I... I need to find Jess," he whimpered as if he knew we were staring, but I stopped him.

"Kid, hey, calm down, look we'll help you find your sister," I said, grabbing his glasses and placing them back on his face. "Now, what's your name?"

"J-Jackson...." he mumbled and then CC reached for the back of his shirt, pulling the collar back. "My name is Jackson..."

"Hey, there's a tag here on the back of his shirt," he said, pulling out a clothed tag and reading it. "If anyone finds me alone, call Jessica. There's a phone number here, too."

"Okay, CC, call the number, tell this Jessica girl we found her brother and he's at the bus area," Andy ordered. "We'll take him over there to get his injuries looked at and to wait for his sister."

"Got it," he said as he quickly dialed the number on his phone and started to call, and me and Ashley escorted Jackson to the bus.

"You'll be safe with us. We'll take a look at your injuries and give you some food, okay?" I said to him.

"Y-You dont have to..." he mumbled as we walked.

"Dont worry about it," I said.

This kid looked oddly familiar...

*Jessica*

I started to feel better as I sat with Grace, when Dylan rushed over with security and Ashley.

"We looked everywhere," he said worriedly.

"Oh god," I sobbed out. "What am I gonna tell Margret?! This is all my fault!!"

"Hey, this isn't your fault," Ashley said. "Whoever started that mosh pit is to blame. We'll look around more for hi-"

We were interrupted by my phone ringing and I got scared for a moment before I realized it wasn't Margret.

I answered. "Hello?"

"Hey, is this Jessica?" A male voice asked.

"Y-Yes, who's this?" I asked.

"My name's CC, I was at the show just now. We found Jackson, your brother," he said. "He had a tag on his shirt with your number, he's with us."

"Oh my god," I sighed with relief. "Where are you, we'll be right there?"

"Bus parking lot," he said and I thanked him before hanging up. "The drummer called, he's with him."

Everyone sighed with relief.

"He's at the bus parking lot?" I asked.

"I know where that is. Follow me," Ashley motioned. "I'll take it from here, Dale."

The security guard nodded and walked off as me, Dylan, and Grace followed Ashley.

*Jake*

Andy and I waited in front of the bus for this Jessica girl.

"Did you see his eyes?" Andy asked as he breathed out cigarette smoke.

"Yeah.... What could have done that?" I asked.

"Whatever it was, it looks like a burn scar," Andy said. "But something in the back of my head tells me it wasn't some accident."

I looked at him worried when I spotted a girl run into the entrance of the parking area, and look around frantically, followed by two other kids and Ashley.

"Could that be her?" I asked.

"Kind of looks like the kid a bit," Andy said, and waved his hand in the air to get her attention. "They're with Ashley."

She then ran over to us, panting once she arrived.

"W-Which one of you is CC?" She panted as she caught her breath.

"He's inside, we're his bandmates. You Jessica?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said, regaining her composure. "Is Jackson okay?"

"He's okay. He got a little banged up, but its nothing serious," I said. "Come on, he's inside."

We lead her inside the bus and see that the Tiffany, Inna, and Alice were watching over him, helping him eat some food.

"Jack!" Jessica sighed with relief as he perked up and looked in my direction.

"JESSIE!" He exclaimed, getting up and running to hug his sister, and that's when we realize they were.... twins....

Come on, Jake, there are about a billions sets of twins in the world, its probably just a coincidence that while I'm looking for my own, we find another pair.

"The crowd came out of no where, I tried looking for you, Dylan, or Grace!" he exclaimed.

"Its okay, you're fine now," Jessica said, hugging her twin brother, then looking at us. "All of you, thank you so much."

"Don't mention it. I'm just glad everyone here is safe," Andy said. "By the way, I'm Andy, this is Ashley, CC, Jinxx and Jake, also my wife, Juliet, Jake's wife Inna, Jinxx's girlfriend, Alice, and CC's girlfriend, Tiffany."

"You know me and Jack. These are our friends, Dylan and Grace," I said.

"Thanks for helping Jack," Grace said as she took a turn hugging Jack.

"No problem. So long as everyone is safe," Ashley said.

"We should probably get Jessica to the clinic, make sure she doesn't have a concussion from that fall," Dylan said,

"You got hurt?" Inna asked.

"A crowd surfer fell on me, but I feel fine now," Jessica insisted.

"You hit your head, you were unconscious, Jess," Grace argued. "What if you fall asleep and then don't wake up the next morning."

"Whoa, if it was that serious, then we got to get you looked at, sis," Jack said immediately.

"Really, I'm alright," Jessica said.

"Its better safe than sorry," I said, placing my hand on her shoulder. "We can go with you guys and then escort you home if you want."

"You don't really don't have to. I'm sure you guys have to get going to the next stop," Jessica frowned. "We don't wanna cause any trouble to you, especially after helping keep Jack safe."

"Its really no problem," Jinxx shrugged.

"We just want to make sure you all get home safe," Inna said.

Jessica hesitated, but sighed and nodded. "Alright, alright. We can go really quick to the clinic and then home. I just hope Margret doesn't freak out."

"Margret?" Tiffany asked.

"Our foster mom," Jack said.

"You're all fosters?" I asked almost immediately.

"Well, not Dylan and Grace, just me and Jack," I said. "Or, were, since we turned 18 already."

Inna and I looked at each other with questioning looks.

Probably a coincidence..... Right??

"Well, let's get going," Andy said. "Clinic isn't too far away."

"You sure its a good idea, Andy?" Juliet questioned.

Oh great...

"Yes. Its fine," He said sternly. "Now, let's go. We're all packed up."

"We'll go in our car if its alright," Dylan asked.

"Sure," I nodded as the kids exited after agreeing to follow them.
