I had no idea where to go. The whole island was filled with trees, except for the shores. I think I was about halfway into the island by now. I came up to a clearing in the woods. Everyone was there, except for AJ and Howie. "Sarah! You're okay!" Nick cried, running towards me with his arms open. Christine walked up to me. "Sarah… what's going on?" She asked, looking around and rubbing her arms as if she were cold. "I have no idea what's up with AJ," Nick told me. "Well…" Christine hesitated. "Do you think it could be because I… I broke up with him?" Kevin walked up behind Brian, and said, "If I could just talk to him, I could find out what's going on!" "Try me!" AJ said, walking towards us. Howie was right next to him, like always. AJ's lackey. I thought, looking at Howie. I saw something in AJ's right hand, and whispered to Nick. "Say…. AJ?" Nick said. "Hmm?" He replied. "What ya got there?" Nick asked, pointing to AJ's hand. "A gun! What does it look like?! A pogo stick?!" AJ answered. "I swear, Nick. You get dumber and dumber everyday!" "What's bothering you, AJ?" Kevin said, stepping forward. Brian and Christine started to back away. Then they turned around and ran. Nick grabbed my arm, and we ran a different way. AJ, thank goodness, didn't seem to notice, since all his concentration was on Kevin. "Where'd everybody go?" Kevin said, looking around. Howie grabbed Kevin's arms so he couldn't get away. AJ, slowly, walked up to Kevin. "I hate you," He said. "You're always tellin' me what to do. Oh, You're the oldest so you've got to be the boss! Not anymore." AJ pointed the gun at Kevin. "Now I'm in charge!" ~ Nick stopped in his tracks when he heard the gun. "Nick," I said, my voice cracking. "Yeah…?" Nick replied, swallowing. When I didn't answer, he turned and looked at me. He brushed the hair out of my eyes and kissed me. I looked up at him and saw a tear roll down his face. I gave him a hug. He put his arms around me. "I love you," He said, more tears rolling down his face. "My gawd Nick! Not only are you dumb, but you're a baby too!" AJ said. We saw AJ when we turned around. Nick and I started running again, but neither of us realized… Nick had turned left, and I'd turned right. ~ Brian and Christine walked down the grassy, muddy path. "You see," Christine started. "That's AJ's problem. He's too insensitive." "How true that is." Brian agreed. "But you…" She continued, giving him a smile. "You're." They heard AJ's voice again. " Christine, I have a poem for you," he said, clearing his throat. "I loved you so much, it makes me wanna cry. But you broke up with me, so now you must die." He laughed. Christine gulped. ~ "He's a regular born poet." I said, sarcastically. Then my heart started pounding again, as I heard Nick scream! I turned around to see where he was. "Nick! Where are you?!" I yelled. He ran towards me, stumbling a couple of times. He threw his arms around me. "What happened?" He was still trying to catch his breath. "Well, I was looking for you, when AJ," He hesitated for a second. "Then I…" He stopped. His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. AJ was behind him. ~ Brian and Christine were on the edge of the island now. AJ started talking again. "Two down, three to go. Who will be next? Heh, don't you wanna know." "He's getting scary." Christine said, a chill running up her spine. "He never writes poems like this!" "Listen, Christine. Next time AJ comes, we split up, okay?" Brian said. Christine nodded. "So that would be… now?" AJ stood in front of them. Brian and Christine split up, like they'd planned, but Howie grabbed Brian. Christine heard him yell, stopped, and turned around. "Christine, run!" Brian yelled. Christine hesitated but she turned and kept running. Brian turned back to AJ. "Why are you doing this?" "I guess because…" AJ put his hand to his chin and thought. "I'm just plain evil!" He grinned. Brian narrowed his eyes at him. "Don't look at me like that. If anyone should be mad at anyone, I should be mad at you!" "How's that?" Brian said. "You and Nick are best buds." "Yeah…so?" "SO… you guys get the attention! Nick has the cute adorable baby face! And you're the funny one!" AJ said, pretending to gag. "And Nick's already dead." Brian looked down. "Sad… isn't it?" AJ laughed. AJ reached in his pocket and pulled out a switchblade. He switched it open and turned it around in his hand. "Let's see you find a little humor in this, oh comedic one!"
