Chapter13-The Breakdown

September 23, 2010

 About an hour later, Alyson arrived back at condo. She grabbed Andrew, and dragged him into her room. Feeling lustful, Andrew asked seductively, "Someone wants to get frisky."

 Alyson gave a crazed smirk as she pushed him onto her bed. She took off her sunglasses, exposing her bloodshot, makeup-smeared eyes. Andrew became confused by this, so he asked, "Is everything alright, Aly? What happened to your eyes?"

 Alyson gave a manic laugh, and replied, "I'll answer your question if you answer mine: Why did you choose to work on your own to find out who the hackers were?"

 Andrew, at first, was a little nervous, but he gained some confidence to explain. "I'm familiar with American law, and I can see how similar British law was. I was also fed up with being hacked numerous times. So I decided to the matters into my own hands. I hired a private investigator to looked into the coded names. I paid him 400 pounds to hasten the investigation. Once he found out the names, I quickly made the arrangements for a lawsuit."

 Alyson asked coldly, "But why did you exclude me?"

 "I had to if I wanted a quick result."

 "So you felt like I would hold you back?"

 Andrew sighed as he said, "I didn't mean it like that."

 "That's exactly what you meant," she said sharply, and gave a manic laugh.

 Andrew asked nervously, "Are you okay? Why are you acting, um..."

 "Crazy?"

 He said nothing, and she said coldly, "You don't what I went through today, and you will never know. You know why? Cuz I'm declaring war on you."

 With that, Alyson grabbed her laptop, and stormed out of her room, and the condo. Andrew sat on the bed, concerned and confused.

 It's now late evening at a parking garage. A person covered in black clothes, and its' face was covered. There was no way of knowing if this was a man or a woman. This figure had a crowbar, and opened the hood of a white car. It pulled the wires to the alarm out.

 Then this person smashed all the windows, slashed the tires, and made dents all over. After that, it made scratches on the doors. Just when you think the figure was done, it took out a can of spray paint. It wrote words on the hood and doors. They read "hypocrite," "bitch," and "f*ck u."

 Around the same time, Melissa was leaving the building that held her office. After Alyson ransacked the entire space, she had to clean up the destruction Alyson left behind. It took hours, and it didn't help that Melissa had numerous phone calls to make, and emails to respond to. She had to do all that on her iPhone and iPad.

 It was now after ten, and Melissa was exhausted. As she was walking towards her white car, she a figure destroying her car. She called out to this person. With that, it bolted. Melissa ran after it.

 The person ran as fast as it could, and so did Melissa. Damn, how can she run so fast in heels? the figure thought to itself. Soon, the person lost Melissa, and arrived at a hotel.

 The figure went into a room. Earlier, it actually booked this room. Then it stripped off the black clothes and mask, revealing who it was. It was Alyson!

 She put on her favourite PINK pink sweats, and fixed her makeup. She then turned on her laptop, and on her verified Twitter page. She turned on her built-in camera, and started a Twitcam chat.

 Without thinking, she talked into camera, explaining everything that happened to UTurn in 2007. She explained that it was the band's former manager, Maurice, that forced them to have two polarized images: Kiddy UTurn, and R-rated UTurn. She even revealed information on UTurn's canceled third album.

 When Alyson finished speaking, she closed her laptop, and left the hotel. As she was getting into her car, she was stopped by Melissa.

 She asked Alyson in anger, "What did you to my car?!"

 Alyson said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

 Then Melissa asked as showed her the crowbar, "Remember this?"

 With that, Alyson quickly drove off. Melissa then throw the crowbar into the back window. Alyson ducked while driving to avoid getting hit with glass. She was grazed, but didn't get hit.

 As she drove to 7A's condo, she did her best to hold back her tears. She couldn't believe what had happened to her. She felt like her world was crumbling around her. Her own big sister would attempt to destroy her. Alyson's high school boyfriend felt like she was holding him back. The two most important people in her life had turn against her. Who's next? Her best friend Bailey? Her entire band-mates? Her fans?

 When she arrived at the condo, she slowly walked in. She made sure she kept her composure. As she entered, she was greeted with stares from the 7A members. Who she didn't see was Andrew.

 Alyson asked, "Where's Andrew?"

 Bailey replied with irritation in her voice, "He's in his room. The real is, where were you tonight, and what the hell were you thinking?"

 Alyson asked nonchalantly, "What do you mean?"

 "I mean about your Twitcam stint. You told the whole world about 2007?"

 Alyson looked at the floor. She just realized what she did. So she replied coldly, "I did what I had to do. Now, what's Andrew doing?"

 Justin spoke up, "He's on his Twitcam right now, announcing that he's going to leak out the material from that Zero album we did in 2007."

 Alyson asked, "Why is he doing that?"

 "I'm not sure exactly. He said something about getting back at you for declaring war on him."

 Alyson sighed out of frustration, and stormed off into Andrew's room. When she barged in, Andrew looked up from his laptop. He wrapped up his Twitcam chat, and closed his computer.

 He asked with irritation in his voice, "What do you want?"

 Alyson asked emotionlessly, "Are you going to leak the Zero material, including the photo-shoots and the music videos?"

 "Yes, I will, but that shouldn't bother you since you told our fans about our troubles in 2007."

 "I did what I had to do. Beside, our fans shouldn't be kept waiting to know the truth."

 "We were going to reveal it next year. But instead, you went crazy. Like, what the f*ck were you thinking?!" Andrew said as he raised his voice.

 She replied by also raising her voice, "You think I'm f*cking crazy? My own sister is bent on destroying me! And you? You, you had the nerve to tell me that I hold you back! I'll do all I can to get revenge on you and Melissa."

 Then Andrew said sternly, "It's not me you're angry at. It's Melissa. I didn't turn her against you. She did that all on her own. She had build her hatred on you for several years."

 Then Alyson slapped Andrew's face, and stormed off into her room. She locked her door, and started crying. She did her best to hold back her tears, but it was just too much. At the same, she knew Andrew was right. She wasn't really mad at him, but she took her anger out on him, and dragged the other members into this mess.
