An Open Flame

The Fire Begins

Weeks Go By

(Anybody's POV)

Chris is starting to change. He's not the same. He still loves Jayde but when things in life come your way.. What do you do ?

Jayde has a spring concert coming up for her singing/choir class. Chris comes to every single concert there is to support her. But, things take a sudden turn.

Chris and Jayde were walking down the hallway holding hands. Even though she's noticed some change in Chris' habits over the last couple of weeks. She still plans to stick by him.

Jayde- I cannot wait for this concert on Friday!

Chris- Oh umm About that ..

Jayde- What Chris ?

Chris- I'm not gonna be able to make it

Jayde looks at him with so much confusion

Chris- Cmon don't be like that.

Jayde- Why not ? You always come and support me so why is there a difference now ?

Chris- I'm sorry but it's family matters. It's not my fault. You know I would love seeing you on stage but I can't this time 😔

Jayde- what happened ?? I'm family too. Is there something wrong ?

Chris- I don't know if I can tell you that right now

Jayde let go of his hand with even more confusion

Jayde- But, we always talk about our family problems. Now you can't tell me anything ? I'm one of the closest people to your family at this school 😒

Chris- Jay don't be upset okay ? I'll tell you when I know the time is right.

Then at that moment... Jayde felt uneasy. She was trying to figure out what was going on and why Chris couldn't tell her. She wanted to trust him because of how deep her love is for him. But she didn't know what to do but wait.
