"Jimmy is really strange." said Jake while resting for a bit. The three are working as waiters in a big restaurant.

"What? What's strange about him?" asked Jack.

"While you are sleeping, I saw him silently crying. That's not the only strange about him. He have dark circles and his eyes were red that means, he cried all night." explained Jake.

"Then, how come I didn't see it?" asked Jack again.

"He tried to conceal it but it can still be seen. And I found out something else. I think I know why he is crying." answered Jake.

"How?" asked Jack.

"We think it was about his nightmare. He was sleep talking. He was screaming for help, then he screamed no, please don't kill me." answered Jin for Jake.

"Wait, Jin. How come you know it?" asked Jack turning to Jin.

"Me and Jake are awake at that time." answered Jin. Jack was about to ask again when their manager came.

"Hey, you three. I'm not paying for lazy men. Go work!" shouted the manager.

"Yes, sir." they answered in unison and began to work again.

Jack forgot the matter that makes Jin and Jake sighed in relief.Going home, they used Jack's car which saved them time. In their free time, they continue in making their song.

Jake's room was in a mess. Crumpled papers scattered on the floor, bond papers and pencils on the bed, and fighting kids writing something.

"No, this line is better than your line!"

"Dream on big guy! My line is much better."

"Guys, if you don't want a fight, then just choose mine."

"Pah! In your dreams!"

"Just saying the truth."

In the end, the kids stop fighting and make a line that everyone agreed. They finally finish the song and all they need to do was to practice with their instruments. Tired of bantering, they took a rest.

"Food is ready!" shouted Lily from the kitchen. The three's face lit up and their previous exhaustion was gone. They raced in going to the kitchen. They ate in their heart's content and wash the dishes before going to Jake's room sleeping.

Meanwhile in Allen Mansion...

"Where is that brother of yours? It's been 6 days." said Chris while drinking his coffee.

"Maybe in his friend's house. Just let him do what he wants." answered Oliver.

"What do you mean by just let him do what he wants?" asked Jenny angry.

"Think about what he told you before he left. He told you that his friends are more like a family to him, right?" said Oliver and paused.

"Think about his friends. They don't force him on the things he wanted. They were always supportive to him and most of all, they comforted him when he needed."

"However, you as a parent. What did you do?" asked Oliver which put Helena and Harold into a daze. Right. What did they do? They were always forcing him. They were so busy that they forgot to spend their time with him.

When he finally found companions where he found his happiness, they tried to pull him from them.

Oliver left them and go to his room. He have done what he needed to do. It was depended on his parents on how they will handle it.

Hospital...

Jason was finally discharged. He was free now from drugs. He will never ever use them again. All he needed is his brothers. He got home and found his home in a mess. He just smiled and started cleaning.

After cleaning, he slumped in his bed and slept. He decided to call Jimmy the next day. This is the first time in the 5 years for him to sleep peacefully not using drugs. He smiled and drifted into his dream.

Jimmy's house...

Jimmy was currently making songs. He was hiding them somewhere. He started making his back up plan if he the first one will fail. Satisfied, he smiled.

He wondered about Jason. Where is he now?

He shook his head. He needed to clear his head. He have to make his plans before they come for him. Doing his plan, tears began to pour from his eyes.

He can't fail.

Back in Jake's apartment...

The three woke up early. They were excited as school will be resumed only in three days.

As their routine, they exercise in the morning doing jogging on the streets. Then going back and doing push ups and pull ups.

With this routine, even if they ate many, their body will remain fit but more muscular.

They decided to take break from working and study. They will have exam. Starlight University is the number one university in the city and they needed to maintain that so after semester break, they will have exam to make sure that their students didn't forget their lessons.

As for practicing the song, it doesn't matter. They will wait for Jason. Jake was teaching them the lessons when he heard his phone ring. He checked the caller and found it to be Jimmy.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jake! Guess what! Something happened!"

"What happened?"

"Jason called me saying he is already healed! He was in the hospital in the past few days healing from the effects of drugs! He says we can practice the song!"

"Really! Okay, let's meet at the base, later!"

Jake was excited. The H-J band is already complete. They can finally practice their song.

"Who called?" asked Jack.

"It was Jimmy! He says Jason called him saying he healed from the effects of drugs! We can practice the song." answered Jake.

"Really? That's really good. I need to practice my skills in electric guitar. I've become rusty, lately." said Jack excitedly.

"Let's go to the base." said Jin packing his guitar.

"Okay. Let's go."

They quickly ride Jack's car and he drove quickly to the base. Upon arriving, they found Jason and Jimmy chatting.

"Jason!" shouted the three and rushed to them.

"Why didn't you tell us where you are? You make us worried." said Jack messing up with Jason's hair.

"I didn't have time as I rushed to the hospital. The doctors captured my phone and I couldn't even send a mesaage." explained Jason and looked at Jake.

"I'm sorry, Jason." apologized Jake.

"No worries, Jake. It's my fault. I've been hiding in the dark and didn't tell you." answered Jason and smiled making Jake also smiled.

"Shall we practice, now? We added another verse in the song." said Jin completely interrupting the moment.

"Okay." said Jimmy.

"Good to see you back, Jason." said Jake and they memorized the song first which didn't take them long as they all have photographic memories. They all can remember all the informations which they are only interested but didn't use it in study except for Jake.

He is the main brain of the group. He is the smartest of them all and he is the one who make their assignments, projects, and is the one who are they copying during quizzes and exams. He do that just to repay them for lending him money when he needed.
