Emilia's Pov-

"Countless of time, I ramble on and on about art. However I don't think people understand how meaningful art can actually be.

Art is a form of how people express there emotions when words can't, the same ways writer write. Often, we make this so called picture that seems like nothing to the eye but if you take a closer look, those words or picture don't just make someone imagination, they make up the creator behind it. It's how we express ourselves without letting the world know who we really are.

Now of course, this can't be seen to the eye. You will never read a book with characters with a deeper meaning than the author portrays but the readers who look deeper into things realize there is more than what means the eye. In paintings, there meaning lies in not what they paint, but how they paint. However, only people with a special  eye could see it."

"Why do you have a big ass grin on your face?" I question the boy. He shakes his head containing his grin and he turns and looks at me.

"I like it, it just needs a bit of works"

"You are being vague Michael." I snarl. He sends me a goofy grin before handing me back the piece of paper.

"Em, you have been working on this project since this morning in Math, it's know 6th period, I think you need a break. It's good, I really like it so far but just set it down until the perfect moment comes along to pick it up again."

A flow of grumbling words escape my mouth with causes Michael to burst out laughing, which causes me to burst out laughing. Let just say, this ended up us both sent out of the classroom for our 'inappropriate behavior'.

"Did you see her face Emilia, did you really see her face when heard us laughing."

"It was priceless." I snort which causes us to burst into a bigger rage of laughter.

The next rest of the hour consist of Michael and I roaming the halls, talking about the most random things. From things to Michael not knowing how to cook a thing back to the stupid fucking sharks which I must inform you, they are the ugliest creature alive. Why say a killer human eating fish, a fish I may add be cute. The are not. Case Closed.

"Just so we know, they are not cute but have you spoke to Jaden at all today? I know he said we wasn't going to be in school this morning but he isn't answering my text messages." I ask. He shrugs his shoulders, pulling his phone out.

"Nope. I'm sure he is fine though."

"Yeah."

"Em, he is fine. He probably over slept or something. It's not uncommon for him" He sends a glance my way. I realize what he means and I kind give a finger.

"Shut up. We did nothing but sleep and talk."

"Mhmm, if you say so."

"Michael, Shut the fuck up."

When the door creeks open, I'm faced with the nice warmth wrath of complete and utter darkness and a very excited dog.

As soon as my car pulled up, I could basically hear Blue barking and clawing at the door so it was no surprise that he ran out the door as soon as I opened it. What I am however confused by is the darkness that consumes the house. As it's just nearing around 6 o'clock, Amy is working till midnight and Jaden is normally doing something with school or just messing around with his Xbox or making food. I don't think I have ever came over around this time and it be pitch black outside.

I start stalking towards the kitchen, hoping from some sign of anybody, maybe he is out? His car is still in the driveway though. He isn't with Michael, he doesn't have basketball practices in the afternoon. Hmm.

Setting my coat on the back of the couch, I walk into the frame of the kitchen and to much of my relief, a silhouette of a breathing human sits at the bar type things right in the middle of the kitchen.

"Ja?" His head slowly turns, slowly mumbling under his breath before he tilts his head back, a glass to his mouth.

"What are you doing here Emilia." The certain tones in his voice makes my heart sink, I know that all too well.

My eye strain to look around the counter infront of him, knowing turning on the light would hurt his eyes. When I see another silhouette of a tall glass bottle nearly empty sits not to far from him, I knew he had been drinking but something tells me by just behind it, 2 more sit, it wasn't his first drink.

"Jaden what the fuck. How many have you had?!"

"I dunno, 6 maybe." He slurs, with the way the just rising moon is reaching the kitchen window hits his figure just right and you can see every movement, not every detail, but every slight sway.

"6!"

"Stop yelling. I'm controlling it just fine."

"Yes Jaden, it looks like you are controlling this amazing." I hiss, grabbing the bottle from his hand. When he goes to reach for it back, I slap his hand, taking his glass along with it.

"You're being annoying, give me them back" He mumbles, resting his head onto the palm of his hands. I mange to put the bottle away and get him a glass of waters in utter silence. I'm utterly shocked and confused. I've seen Jaden drink before, I've drank with him. I find no surprise in that. It's just I've never seen him this flat out drunk by himself.

However, it isn't his words that are what caught me off guard, normally he is very vocal either tipsy or a tad drunk but he's for the most part, absolutely dead silent, it doesn't sit right with me.

"Here" I mutter, sliding over the glass of water and a packet of crackers. He just looks at me through the pitch black before popping a cracker in his mouth.

"I'm sorry" He whispers, taking the last cracker into his hand. "I'm really sorry."

"I'm not mad at you Jaden. This isn't you though."

"Not for this."

"Then for what? You haven't done anything wrong?"

"I'm just sorry. I didn't want this to happen."

"You're out of it, we can talk about it in the morning. Come on" I say. He slowly nods before reaching for my hand and I try my best to get him to over to the couch without him falling over and when I do, I cover him with a blanket and sit in the chair next to the couch, letting the night consume us and our thoughts.

Here are the footnotes I had for the last half of the chapter and I thought they were pretty funny so there you go

*Find Jaden flat out drunk* (we love that) then she gets worried/upset/I don't know yet but he won't open up, as normal. Due to the fact ( I can't expose that ehehe) Yeah they are *beep*. It's cool though, we love the haterd in this book. Anyways after that, nothing really ends, the chapter do be over.
