"Revive Me With Just One Touch..."

Leila

I was a lover of the hustle and bustle,a lover of incoherent curse words and screeching tires.A city girl through and through,so stepping into Velair's room and it practically sweating silence,I felt out of place.

There she lay,a beautiful half-latino girl on a bed much too big for her alone,I felt a tinge of jealousy only because I wasn't.Streaks of tears long since over stained her pale cheeks.A colorfully tattooed arm wrapped around her waist caught my attention.Two steady breaths filled my ears.

I was proud of our little Tony,he had finally grown a pair.

"I'm home!...Velair?".

I felt the words breathe past my lips before shutting the door and walking into the open hallway."Quiet,they're sleeping".

Jalen stood at the door an eyebrow arched and a smirk playing on her lips,"They?".

I smiled,nodding towards the door I was casually leaning on.Moving aside to let her take a peek,I watched her hold in a squeal.

"Oh my fuck..he did it!".

Her excitement flooded into me as we silently pranced around doing a victory cheer.

"What are you two doing?!",Jaime and Vic stood opposite us, watching amused.

Jalen ran over to Jaime and cupped her hand over his mouth motioning for both of them to keep quiet."Tony and Velair are sleeping".

Vic's eyebrows shot up."In there?",he pointed behind me,"Together?".

Jalen nodded enthusiastically,Jaime's smile stretching past her hand."That's my boy!".

For a while we all just stood in the living room,elated that 'our little Tony' was 'finally stepping up to the plate'.
All went quiet when we heard the soft click of a door being shut.Standing before ushighly interested in the floor was Tony.

Jalen couldn't seem to help herself,Jaime was starting to rub off on her."So..how'd you sleep?".

It was rare to see Tony blush,"I..uh..we should probably wake her up soon."

Like hell that was going to work!

"I didn't know you were a cuddler Tony",Vic teased.

As I watched Tony's face burn redder,if that was even possible,I couldn't help but feel the need to defend him."Vic begs to cuddle".

Jaime patted my boyfriend on the back as he shot me a glare,"Of course he does,he's a pansy songwriter".

That tore all attention away from Tony,well almost.Vic and Jaime were too busy fighting over who was a bigger pansy.They were both Pansy songwriters!
Through the mist of all the cussing Tony voice managed to breakthrough.

"We need to find Jasper.."

Jasper Collin Peyton Rodriguez:

Date of birth:Dec.12,1983
Blood type:AB
Ethnicity:Caucasian Latino

It looked just like any other medical record:allergies,medications...etc.
Luck was definitely on our side.Not only did we have a current picture of Jasper but we had a phone number and an address too.
Looks like he'd been living in SD for a while now.

"Can't believe we actually found him".

I looked over at Tony,he hadn't left my side since we arrived at the hospital,and smiled."Me either".
 
It really was unbelieveable.Thanks to my mom and her nursing job we were able to get our hands on the record computer.And out of all the stupid luck we had found 3 Peytons here in town.
1 our own best friend Velair,1 brother of said best friend,and 1 other unknown Peyton.

"I can't wait to call Velair and tell her we found him",Jalen mused.

Grabbing my phone off the counter and tossing it at her,I urged her to call now.This just might end up being what Velair needs the most,besides a boyfriend.That,however,was a problem for another day.

"Oh she's going to die!",Jaime called standing next to Jalen.

Tony's shot him a look as did everyone else.

"Poor choice of words.Sorry".

I scanned the record over and over again,something about it made my skin crawl.Something was wrong.

While we were all off in concentration a group of doctors rushed by with a patient on a gurney.They came and went,anything but silent.A dial tone tore me away from the incident being rushed down the hall.

"Hey sweetie,how'd you sleep?".A faint reply was heard on the other end of the phone.

"Hold on.I'm going to put you on speaker".

Jalen walked over to the counter and pressed the speaker button.Velair's voice came in crystal clear.

"I feel hungover.."

I couldn't help but chuckle,"Didn't really peg you as a drinker,honeybunny?".

There was a smile in her voice. "You'd be surprised.I'm a sucker for some good whiskey"

We all laughed before giving her the news."Guess what Tony did?".

Tony stiffened right next to me,he must have not been planning on taking all the credit.

"What?"

"Nothing,I didn't do anything!We'll see you later",and he hung up.

"What the fuck was that about?!",Jaime almost jumped over the counter.

We all stared at Tony,desperately awaiting an explanation for his rude behavior.He didn't so much as utter a word.His eyes locked with mine for a brief second before returning to the computer screen.
All of our eyes soon followed.
Something had just popped on screen.

"Jasper Collin Peyton Rodriguez.
Date:Jun.08,2010
Time of death: 4:15pm".

No one made a sound.Throats clogged up in silent sobs,eyes stung with new tears.A pain unlike any I've ever felt before washed over me.
I pulled the mouse across the pad and clicked the calender button on the corner of the screen.

A small robotic voice broke the silence,"It is Tuesday June 08,2010.It is 4:17pm."
