[a/n: A "new character" will be introduced. His name is Fire and it's the bad and messed up voice in Harry's head. Whenever he says something it will be italicized with one bold letter. I have some things already italicized which can be a dream, a thought, emphasis, etc. Whenever it looks like that, it's Fire, the voice in Harry's head.]

"Jade. I won't ruin my life with your old traits. Just please go to sleep. You need to get rest instead of worrying about something that isn't broken." With those words, she hugged me tighter in hopes I wouldn't slip through the cracks of her hands and rebuild under them. She would need to squeeze me harder, harder, harder until I couldn't breathe. Until I die from lack of oxygen because I don't think I can ever be good again. I can only head in the path of old Jade.

For the first time in a while, snow began to sprinkle down from above. There was no forecast of it; they said it would be in the fifties today so why is is snowing? I hugged my jacket closer to body in hopes of not freezing. Surely my hands and face would freeze if I couldn't get to a heat source soon.

"Harry!" A voice behind me called. It sounded a little ways away. When I turned around, I saw Jade running towards me. A worried expression set on her face.

"Jade what are you doing here?" I frowned when she caught up to me. I was almost back to the house for the drug cooperation. Hopefully she doesn't suspect me going into another house, so I stood away from it on the sidewalk.

"What do you mean what am I doing here? You have a car why aren't you in it?" She retorted in anger before she realized why she was here. "Harry you have to come with me."

"Why?"

"It's Max. He got shot. Come on."

"What!? Who shot him?" I asked and started to jog with Jade to some place.

"I don't know. I tried to find a telephone but he said I shouldn't find a telephone, but instead find you. We have to hurry, I left him bleeding out."

"Where is he?"

"In this one earthy area by school." Fuck, I cursed. He was probably going there to deal with someone. If someone finds him there and he makes it out alive, he could be in some deep shit. Everyone working with, and for him, could get in trouble.

Once we got to the school, Jade and I sprinted towards him for our lives. For mine at least. But when we got to where Max was suppose to be at, he wasn't there. Instead there was maroon red stained grass, and a piece of paper.

It read:

Did you seriously think you could hide from me? You love me Harry and I take this as an open window to become obsessed with you. I find everything out and it'll turn out fine because you love me too much. Are you sure you love me? Surely I was one of the few girls you had feeling for so you don't know about actual love. I'm sorry for you and you precious little life that will soon be gone. Just die knowing that I never loved you. I only cared about one of you. Harry or Fire? You can find out when you see your life flash before your eyes as a bullet goes straight through your brain.

The writing was sloppy. Instantly I knew this was a set up. Jade wrote this letter, I thought. So I slowly turned around and hopes that a bullet wouldn't fly towards me without me being able to stare into her beautiful eyes one last time.
