(SEE A/N)
I dreaded the morning majorly.

I didn't want to tell Sander that one of her idols had drunkenly harassed me. I had to though, she was my best friend and I tell her everything. Besides, she would've found out sooner or later.

I was so deep in thought, I had almost burnt our breakfast. "SANDER!" I screamed as I dished out our food, "FOOD'S READY."

I heard a door open and shut, then Sander appeared in the kitchen, fully dressed and looking surprisingly happy considering it was 10:30 am.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked. "Good, you?"

"Coulda been better." I trailed off. "Look I gotta tell you somethi-"

"Before you do I need you to make two more plates of eggs." She cut me off grabbing more silverware and plates.

"What? Why?" The doorbell rang and a stupid smile fell across her face.

"That's why."

She must've invited Jimmy over for breakfast, but why would we need four plates? Did he bring Zacky?

Or Brian?

Or, oh god.

I cut myself off when I saw the three of them walk in through the front room.

Sander, Jimmy...

And Johnny.

"Hey Smurfette!" Jimmy exclaimed. "Smells good..."

"Thanks big guy."

"Sorry for the unexpected guest, Johnny insisted on tagging along."

"It's no big deal. The more the merrier, am I right." I was staring in Johnny's direction and he just stared right back.

"Rami's making pancakes so just make yourself at home guys. Don't break our shit though." Sander said, half-kidding.

Her and Jimmy went into the living room, bringing the two plates of semi-warm food with them, and switched on some AMC old timey movie, while I was left in the kitchen with the person I'd least wanna be in a room alone with. Yet, deep down some part of me was glad he stayed behind.

He sat at the counter and watched me mix more pancake batter, silently.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer."

Still silence.

"Y'know I'd be a lot friendlier if you'd say something."

Nothing.

"Fine, if you're gonna be that way then so will I."

"Sorry," He said, quietly. "for what happened last night."

I stopped mixing and looked up at him.

"I was drunk, I didn't mean to be so brash. You didn't need to freak out at me though" He added and looked at me expectantly.

"You talked to me like I was some cheap skank, of course I'm gonna get fucking pissed." I hissed, making sure Sander and Jimmy couldn't hear.

"I said I was sorry, shouldn't that be enough?"

I just grunted and rubbed my eyes.

"Guess not..."

"Look buddy, if you want me to forgive you, sorry ain't gonna cut it." I stated slowly. "But, I suppose it's a start."

He grinned at me slightly and I just started to cook again. "Don't expect me to act all buddy buddy with you."

"But I know you will." He chuckled and got up to walk over towards me.

"You're pretty cocky for a bassist." I sneered.

"It's a gift."

I scoffed and laughed. "More like curse."

Johnny looked down at the floor, as if he was thinking about something. I handed him a plate and put 3 pancakes on them.

"Woah..." He trailed off.

"Dude we all know you can down a whole box's worth of Aunt Jemima." Jimmy walked into the kitchen and slapped Johnny on the back of the head. "Quit acting like you don't want that much, maybe more."

"Fuck off, tree"

"Whatever you say." He paused then flashed a mischievous smile. "...door mouse."

"So, I'm gonna put on normal people clothes, considering I've been wearing a hello kitty shirt and rainbow shorts for the past hour." I said, turning off the stove and walking away from the kitchen.

"Be careful in there Rams!" Sander yelled and ran up to me. "Remember, ignore her."

"I know, I know."

I slowly walked up the stairs, feeling the air around me go stiff. I sighed and walked into my room and shut the door behind me.

I was mentally preparing myself for Katie to pay me a visit.

After changing into a yellow blouse and acid wash shorts, as I was doing my makeup, she came. Just as expected.

"YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER." She screamed loudly.

I winced at the booming sound. My ears were ringing.

With a shaky hand, I continued to do my makeup. I could feel the room's temperature dropping. Soon I was shivering and my teeth were chattering.

"You will acknowledge me, Jacqueline."

"And if I don't?"

"I'll make you."

Suddenly, my dresser fell in front of my door and I heard the lock turn. I paused and slowly stepped away from my mirror. Katie laughed slowly and creepily in my ear.

"Can you hear me now?" She whispered.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see something moving, and with barely a second to spare, I dodged a vase being hurled across the room.

"What are you insane? You could've killed me!" I screamed and looked around frantically.

"I know..." Katie groaned.

I turned back around to face my mirror and I saw her. Katie stood behind me grinning ear to ear with a shard of glass in her hand. My whole body froze with fear and shock. She slowly walked towards me and in the mirror I saw her grab me by my hair, but nothing was happening to me. I watched her move the shard up to my neck and slowly drag it across my throat.

I gasped and felt my neck but felt no wound or blood.

"Calm down, I haven't hurt you...yet." She spoke softly but sickeningly sweet.

Then I suddenly shot up and found myself on the floor.

I was asleep..? And only for 2 minutes...

I stood up and groaned loudly. I look decent so I might as well go downstairs before anything else happens.

"Geez, you look like you've seen a ghost" Johnny murmured, as soon as I got to the last step.
I just glared at him and walked into the living room.

I could feel Sander looking at me. I knew she was worried. I turned back a gave her a reassuring smile.

"So, what's the plan for today?" I asked while slipping on shoes.

"Well, uh, we don't know actually." I heard Jimmy grumble out.

I paused, a huge smile breaking out onto my face.

I turned around quickly. "You mean, we have no plans." I slowly walked towards Sander and she groaned.

"Which means I get to plan our day! Ha!"

"Aw shit..."

"And I know exactly what we can do today..."

•••

"Alright guys." I shouted, sounding like a drill sergeant. "The name of the game is, Extreme Hide and Seek."

"What makes it Extreme?" Johnny asked.

"Were all hiding." Sander sighed.

"Then who's seeking?"

"The bane of my existence." I said and laughed loudly. "Otherwise known as, security."

"I like the way she's thinking!" Jimmy shouted.

"So, how do we start this game." Johnny looked as if he was about to throw up.

"Like this."

I ran out towards the overweight man dressed in black and white. Motioning behind me, I silently told the others to follow my lead.

"HEY LARDO" I screamed at him.

He snapped his head up. "What did you just call me?" The low-end police officer snarled.

"Oh, can you not hear me over the sound of your donuts?" I cackled.

The officer's face turned beet red and he growled.

"Where do you get off to talking to me like that? You spoiled little bitch!"

"Because we can get away with it." I said, sassily. I was being extremely rude but I was just trying to antagonize him.

"Over my dead body! You fucking punks think you're so cool. Let's see how cocky you are in cuffs!" He shouted then ran towards us.

"Alright guys. Hide!" I screamed.

We all took off in opposite directions. The cop chased after the slowest one, and that one happened to be Johnny.

Sander and Jimmy were long gone, heading towards the pier. Meanwhile, I was trailing behind Johnny and Officer Fuckface, heading towards the shops.

I could see Johnny losing speed so I had to improvise.

I starting to cross the street and started screaming. "COME GET ME, MALL COP. I'M WAITING FOR YOU!"

He snapped his head around and grunted.

"Come here you little whore!" He wheezed. The pit stains on his shirt got bigger and darker.

"Neener neener!" I blew raspberries at him and laughed.

I dodged his arm right before he grabbed me and I quickly ran towards Johnny.

I grabbed his arm and practically dragged him behind me.

"Where are we going?" He huffed.

"No idea. I still haven't gotten used to this town."

"Then follow my lead."

Johnny suddenly became the one in front and soon started dragging me down random alleyways. We came up to a manmade tunnel and a large fence.

"Quick! Go through the tunnel!" He yelled, then pointed me towards the fence.

We quietly but quickly climbed over the fence and hid inside a dumpster. I was trying not to vomit all over myself when I looked over and saw Johnny laughing at me.

"What are you laughing at four strings?"

He snorted and pointed at my head. "Nice hat shorty."

I felt the top of my head and pulled down a used diaper. I immediately screamed and practically threw myself out of the dumpster. Meanwhile, the sound of Johnny's hysterical laughter filled the air.

"Asshole!" I huffed and stormed off.

"Oh come on! Where are you going?"

"To find Sander. I guess."

"Alone? No, I'm coming with." He started to climb out and I stopped.

"What, like I can't find my way around myself? Like I'm some helpless little brat?" I snapped.

"Well I don't wanna leave you."

As soon as Johnny said that, he had lost his footing and slipped, hitting the floor. Hard. And I laughed. Hard.

"Nice job, clutz." I barely choked out in between laughs.

"Thanks, diaper-head."

"Oh, how clever."

Notes

I would like to personally apologize for being so inconsistent and delivering very little, crappy chapters. I do not deserve to work with the people I've been writing with, nor do I deserve any of the support I get from all of you. But I am going to make you all a promise that I will hold so dearly to myself I'll never forget it. From this moment on I will be posting chapters from all of my stories, especially this one, on a specific day. This way I can keep the story going and not be completely useless. I'll figure out a schedule soon, but for now after this update, this story will be updated every Sunday. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MY AMAZING CO-AUTHOR'S CHAPTERS!
Sooo, Johnny and Rami are getting kinda close!
Sorta.
And Katie is definitely taking the threats up a notch.
I hope you guys enjoyed this extra long chapter and thanks for reading!
