"Guys! This is horrible!" Howie exclaimed, again. Everyone, except for Kevin, AJ, and Lara, was neatly gathered around Lynn’s bed and discussing the earlier events.

                      "Howie, DUH! We all know this sucks, but can you please stop saying that?! You’re not going to make it any better!" Nick screamed.

                      "Guys, calm down. Nick, you’re right, but neither of you screaming is going to help either!" Lynn told the two guys.

                      "Lynn’s right, we all just need to calm down," Brian agreed.

                      "Okay. Fine. Brian, you went to the cops right?" Howie asked.

                      Brian nodded and replied, "Yeah, I gave them her description."

                      "You saw her?!" Nick exclaimed.

                      "Yeah, I was trying to tell you that when I saw you with Lara. The killer is Amanda," Brian sighed.

                      "WHAT?! LATONA?!" Howie screamed.

                      "Yes, AJ’s ex-girlfriend, Amanda Latona," Brian confirmed.

                      "How do we tell A.J?" Lynn asked. The whole group sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                      "I hope she’s okay. I hope she’s okay. I hope she’s okay…" Kevin repeated, over and over. His head lay in his hands and his eyes red with tears.

                      "Kevin, man, she’ll be okay. I know it. She won’t leave you. She’s not like Andrea," AJ assured Kevin, placing a brotherly hand on his shoulder.

                      Kevin sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

                      "Who’s doing this?!" Kevin almost screamed.

                      "Someone who really hates us," A.J replied.

                      "I guess…"

                      "The bastard will pay for this."

                      Kevin nodded, but continued to worry about his girlfriend.

                      "I can’t lose her…I can’t. I broke my promise to her…why did I leave her," Kevin scolded himself in his head.

                      "Kev…Kev…Kevin!" A.J yelled, trying to wake up his friend.

                      "What?!"

                      "Come on, let’s go see Lynn."

                      "Alright."

                      The two guys got up and walked to Lynn’s room.

                      "Hey guys, hear anything about Lara yet?" Lynn asked, trying to remain calm. Kevin instantly began to cry.

                      "No, we didn’t hear anything yet," AJ sighed as he looked sadly at his friend.

                      "AJ, you might want to take a seat," Brian said getting up from the chair he was in.

                      "Um, okay…" AJ replied, confused.

                      "AJ, I have something to tell you," Lynn began. "You know we all love you and you know we all hated Amanda. Right?"

                      "Yeah…and…" he questioned, looking at Lynn with the same confused stare.

                      "Well, you should have listened to Lara long ago. Amanda is the psycho that she predicted and she is the one trying to kill everyone. She’s the one who killed Andrea. She tried to kill me. Now she’s gone after Lara."

                      "How are you so sure?!" AJ exclaimed, trying to protect the girl he loved for so long.

                      "I saw her AJ. I saw her right after she attacked Lara," Brian sighed and pulled his friend into a hug.

                      "I’m going to kill her! I’m going to rip her cold, little heart out!" Kevin shouted.

                      "Calm down. The police are already after her. We don’t need them looking for you too," Brian said, looking at his cousin.

                      A.J pulled away from Brian and replied, "How could she?!! This can’t be true! It can’t!!!!"

                      With that, A.J ran out of the room and out of the hospital, hoping to prove his friends wrong.

                      "Oh god…" Lynn instantly began to cry when A.J ran out from the room.

                      "Shh, it’s okay baby," Howie comforted, hugging her, "he’ll calm down."

                      "Guys….I just got a feeling," Nick stated nervously.

                      "What is it Nick?" Brian asked, remembering how Nick had known Lara was in trouble.

                      "Amanda is AJ’s ex...what if he finds her first?" Nick asked, looking at his friends.

                      "I never thought of that," Kevin whispered.

                      "We gotta find him!" Nick said and rushed out of the room, with Brian close behind. Howie stayed with Lynn and Kevin went to go for news on Lara.
