Chapter 1

Jade's P.O.V

I ran down the hallway, trying to get the guys voice out of my head. I think of the way he sang my song so perfect, the way it should have been sung. He sang it so beautifully, in a way I never could. And now that I think back to my yelling at him, I realize how stupid I must have sounded. They didn't know the value and importance of my journal, let alone that someone was looking frantically for it. To them I was just a random girl who came in and yelled at them for doing what they loved.

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

I run into the nearest bathroom, where I make a beeline for the first sink I see. I clutch the cool, smooth edge of the sink and look into the mirror. My short black hair is pulled into a small pony tail, some of my hair has escaped and it frames my freckled, tear stained face. I hadn't realized I was crying until then. Suddenly my chest tightens and my ears start ringing, black dots consume my vision. I try to take deep breaths, but fail.

I'm so hot, sweat covers my top lip and forehead; my body feels numb. I can barely feel the floor that is now beneath my hands and knees. I fall onto my back and lay on the floor panting and looking up at the ceiling. What is happening to me?

I lay in the same spot for what feels like forever, but is probably only a few minutes. I know this is not right and I need help, but my limbs feel like jelly mixed with lead.

After another minuet I try to get up, but my legs crumple under me and I get a nice face full of tile. I try again after I recover and am successful. I lean on the wall and make my way to the door and try to make it to the nurse's office, all the way at the other side of the building. I am kinda thankful that class in in session right now, but I also dread it because no one can help me. I start to feel a little better and my mind is less foggy, but I still can't walk without a wall.

"Are you ok?" a voice asks from behind me. I turn to see the guy from earlier. This is fantastic! Now I get to embarrass myself even more in front of him.

I look at the ground and shake my head, my weight still being supported by the wall. I collapse again and he runs over to my side.

"Here let me help you," say the guy- Ethan I think he said his name was. He comes over and picks me up bridle stile. I would usually be very uncomfortable, but I just get comfortable and close my eyes.

"Hey, aren't you the girl from earlier?" he asks softly, like I'm a frail little puppy that is hurt. I nod my head slightly. The ringing has finally gone away, but I feel like complete and utter shit.

"Jade right?" he asks his voice still soft and comforting. I nod and open my eyes slightly to look at him.

"And you're Ethan?" I ask and he nods.

"I can walk now I think," I say in a shaky voice. Ethan nods again and slowly puts me down. I realize then how tall Ethan is, definitely over six feet, so he towers over my slender five-five frame. Dang this guy is tall.

Ethan is holding onto my elbow while I try to find my balance. The ringing, darkness and lead-jelly limbs are gone now, but I still feel drained and my limbs feel light and fuzzy, if that helps describe them in anyway. I lean on Ethan a little just so don't fall over, and Ethan doesn't seem to mind because he puts an arm around my waist, after I stumble, and keeps it there.

"What happened to you," he asks after a minute of silence. What did happen to me?

"That's the million dollar question," I mutter "one minute I was fine, the next my ears were ringing and I was seeing dark spots". I feel his eyes on me and I look up to see the blue orbs staring at me with a look of knowing and something I can't identify, it looks almost like a veteran thinking back to the war. I look back at the ground after a few seconds of us staring at each other and clear my throat. How much longer until we get to the nurses office?

I pull away from Ethan a little and Ethan's arm drops from around my waist as if sensing my uncomfortableness. I don't know what I'm doing. I am not usually like this. I hate being touched.

"Are you feeling better?" Ethan asks.

"Ya, I can walk the rest of the way if you want. You can get back to your friends, or band mates, or random people that you hang out with." I trail off and awkwardly scratch the back of my neck. Ethan doubles over laughing. Didn't think I was that funny.

"'Random people I hang out with'?" Ethan laughs again. I just blush and look down shamefully; I've never really been good with making friends that last long.

"I should get going, thanks for your help" I say in a small voice and walk off. I look back after a few seconds to see Ethan still following me. I give him a confused look.

"My sister had the same thing that happened to you happen to her a while back, I just want to make sure you are ok." Ethan admits sheepishly, rubbing at the back of his neck.

"Ok, what was wrong with your sister?" I ask, hoping to find out what's wrong with me, but Ethan freezes.

"It was nothing, she just got too hot and needed to cool down." He says, an unreadable mask on his face. He quickly changes his fetchers into a relaxed smirk.

"Ya wanna skip the rest of the day, we could do something fun." I do feel like I'm back to normal. Did I want to skip? I have already skipped most of my classes today looking for my journal. Wait, where is my journal? I curse under my breath and search around frantically hoping my journal would magically appear.

"Looking for this," Ethan holds up my journal for me to see.

"How do keep ending up with my journal?" I ask jokingly, and he just shrugs. I grab it and go to one of the latest song I wrote to read over the lyrics, which always seemed to calm me down and make me more confident. After a moment of silence, I respond to Ethan's unanswered question.

"I think I should just go home." I say, Ethan looks a little sad and I start to feel guilty. I'm not good at this. The whole meeting people and hanging out with them is not my thing. I know I can't just totally reject him though. "Rain check?" I ask.

Ethan perks up a little and holds out his hand to me.

"Deal" He says, and I grab his hand and shake it.

"Deal" I say and turn towards the door, but as I put my hand on the handle one more question pops into my mind.

"Hey Ethan" I call after his retreating frame.

"Ya" He says back, turning around partially, raising an eyebrow.

"Can we keep this incident between the two of us?" I ask, and look down at the ground after the words left my mouth. To my surprise, Ethan laughs genuinely and not bitterly like I'm used to from most people from this school.

"Who am I going to tell? The random people I hang out with?" Ethan says and I laugh.

"Thanks Ethan, I owe you big." I say as I turn and leave.

"Anytime Journal Gal" He calls after me before the door closes completely.

Well that's a new one.
