[Graham Central Station] #Stop5

Alia gave the cab driver a private address then laid down in the back of the car. She gave him a thousand dollars to drive her there and she waited. Around 5 AM, she saw a white Range pulling up to the gate of Aubrey's mansion.

Aubrey (Inside the Range): Wait. Chubbs. Stop.

Alia stumbled out of the back of the car and Aubrey got out of the passenger's side of the range. They both approached each other.

Aubrey: What are you doing here?

Alia: You know when they say don't drunk-dial? Well you shouldn't drunk stalk either.

Aubrey: I don't think that's stalking. I think this is a surprise. But I don't think you're stalking me. I've done drive-bys like this in my day. Do you wanna come inside?

The cabby drove off. He was paid well to stalk Drake. And Alia gave him the instruction to leave if she was staying. Alia got in the car and they drove up to the mansion. When the group got inside, they all dispersed. Aubrey and Alia went up to the studio. A common ground for them. A place of unleashing and understanding and comprehending and clarity. Aubrey played some things him and Noah were mixing. Aubrey and Alia were talking for a while, avoiding why Alia was mad before today and after this afternoon. They were really just getting to know each other but Alia's condition got took some type of dramatic turn for the worse. She was already light but her skin was getting paler. She almost looked dead.

Aubrey: Hey, are you okay?

Alia sat in silence and then shook her head. She was starting to lose consciousness. Aubrey got up to brace her. Alia passed out and Aubrey caught her. He called in someone to help. Jonny rushed in.

Jonny: She as alcohol poisoning. We can either call someone and privately take her to the ER or we can take her to the ER. We don't have much time.

Aubrey: I can't leave her all alone.

Aubrey took a deep breath and went through Alia's pockets and got her phone. He called Cieara since that was the only familiar name. He called her out to the mansion, and she arrived 30 minutes later. Jonny took care of her until Cieara got there and they all carried her out to the car and Cieara took Alia to the hospital. Back at the mansion the guys questioned Aubrey about what happened.

Aubrey: One minute we're talking. The next minute she's passing out.

Ryan: I read about that toxic syndrome thing. It's from when girls like. Wear tampons and stuff.

Everyone looked at Ryan horrified.

CJ: What the hell are you talking about?

Ryan: She passed out right?

Aubrey (From the bar): She has alcohol poisoning you idiot.

Noah (On his laptop): I'm on her soundcloud and she has some pretty amazing stuff on here. She sounds like someone I would consider for OVO Sound.

Aubrey looked over at Noah. He had an amazing point. Even if Aubrey couldn't see Alia, romantically, she was unsigned. She could be apart of his label. He liked the girl and he adored her music.

Alia's visit to the ER hit TMZ quicker than Kim Kardashian's baby name choice. Cieara pulled up the website on her phone will Alia was still sleeping from having her stomach pumped.

TMZ Headline: Unsigned Singer Alia McNamara Passes Out Drunk. Brought To The ER

Cieara laughed at the ridiculous post as she heard a knock at the door. Aubrey stepped in.

Aubrey (Quietly): Can I see her alone?

Cieara was about to say something but Alia interrupted her.

Alia: Yeah.

They both looked at her. Cieara stepped out and watched from the window in the door. Aubrey sat in the chair beside her hospital bed.

Aubrey: I feel like I've been in this room before. This is all so freaky to me.

Alia looked at Aubrey blankly.

Aubrey: Ali why did you-

Alia (In a low, tired voice): Why do you call me Ali?

Aubrey was caught off guard.

Aubrey: What? Umm. I don't know. It's like....I've known you before. Or wanted to know you. You remind me of someone.

Alia: Is she that girl you were with?

Aubrey, once again was caught off guard. Alia almost killed herself like a broken hearted character off of Degrassi because she lost her virginity to a rapper that she wasn't even committed to. She felt so pathetic and so low. Why not bask in the self loathing for a bit and ask that question.

Aubrey: I just wanted to show her a good time.

Alia: Oh. Well. I'm glad you guys had fun.

Aubrey: I....actually didn't have that much fun. I bought her a purse and had someone take her home. I didn't even sleep with her.

Alia: Hm.

Aubrey: Look, I know this seems really unrealistic but I like you. Like I feel like I have this connection to you and I the same way I snuck in, I can sneak you out if you promise to just start over with me like we were normal people.

Alia looked at him. She smiled.

Aubrey was known for always wanting someone to love. And he never specified what profession he preferred her to be in. Her singing. Her angelic, positive motioned, melodic music and voice drove him to practically fall in love with her. But it was always starting to seem like there was some plague on them.

Aubrey: Now.

Alia: What?

Aubrey: Tell me you'll leave with me now and I can get you out.

Cieara (From the door window still listening): Oh my god!

Aubrey and Alia looked at Cieara who quickly turned from the window.

Aubrey (Turning back to Alia): I'll keep it low key. No paparazzi, no drama. Just let me take you...home.

"Hold On, We're Going Home" played in Alia's head and she smiled. Aubrey grabbed her hand and rubbed it with his thumb. He took off all of her IVs and stuff and Alia grabbed her clothes and they fled the room. Oddly enough, no one really paid attention to a tall, handsome Canadian sneaking out a small nondescript singer from her room but they used that to their advantage and ran to an unmarked emergency exit and got in Aubrey's Range.

Alia: You drove here without your security.

Aubrey (Quickly pulling out of the hospital parking garage): Yeah. I mean. I was in the hospital. And I do do things alone. (Pulling out a pack of OVO track pants and jacket) Put this on. I know a place where there's no paparazzi.
