chapter 7

Jaime P.O.V-

Rehearsals were the same as always. when we got home, I went to see summer. Mike came and checked on August. Vic and tony watched tv..

"hey baby. how u been with sicky over here" I said smiling at her.

"good" she kissed my lips. I smiled into the kiss then pulled away

"how yea feeling August? any better" mike asked as he sat on her bed rubbing her head.

"a little. not much, but some" she replied in a low sniffly voicd.

"that's good" mike got out a thermometer and took her temperature.

"your temperature is back to normal"

"thank god!" she said with a slight laugh that turned into a cough.

"I'm ganna hang here with August. you boys go watch tv or something. she shouldnt be around too many people right now" Summer said, getting up and walking Mike and I to the door. I kissed her and we left to go downstairs.

Vic P.O.V-

Tony and I had just put in star wars when Jaime and Mike came back down.

"hey, how is she" I asked, referring to August.

"she's feeling better. her temperature is back to normal such is always good." mike said sitting down next to me.

"I hope she feels better soon" I said looking at the tv screen. Jaime went and sat next to Tony and we all watched the movie.

in the middle of the movie, mike had to pee but didn't want to miss any of the movie. we went to pause it but couldn't find the remote. Tony and jaime got up and looked undid the couch cushions. I heard crunching, ls the sound paper makes when its being crumpled.

I looked over at tony who stood there with a piece of paper in his hands. as he read, his eyes grew wide.

"what is it" Mike asked as we both got up.

"its song lyrics... really good ones. did any of you write a song then hide it?" Jaime asked reading the song. his eyes grew wide as he read and he looked sad.

"no" we all said in unison.

"then it must of been one of the girls. let me see it" I said and took it from Jaime. as I read it carefully, I could tears brim my eyes. cut themselves??..... what the hell!

we all read over it and became worried and sad. we ran up the stairs to Summer and Augusts room and barged in.

they were just sitting there talking and smiling.

"whats wrong" summer asked. I held up the paper and Augusts eyes grew wide. "what does it say" summer said and took it from me. she read it and looked shocked yet sad and worried.

"did one of you write this" she said with sadness in her eyes. we all shook our heads.

"we thought one of you did" mike said "but it obviously wasn't you.. August" we all looked at her. she just kept her head down. we looked at summer as she got up from her bed. she told us to calm down and relax with out saying a word. she sat down next to August and pulled her into her chest wrapping her arms around her shoulders and back. she rocked them lightly.

"August. you know I love you boo. talk to me, what's going on. did you write that, and if you did, why and what's it about"

"I.. I did write it" she said softly. I could hear muffled sobs come from her. Summer put her lips to her head and kissed her head lightly.

"shhh. its ok August, everything will be ok. we all love and care for you. we just want you to be honest with us" she said softly.

"I'm sorry. I'm just really sad a lot. I don't know what else to do. and I don't want them hear when I tell you what was on my mind when I wrote it" August said looking up at summer then at us.
