~Jeanette's POV~

Seph and I came home after seeing her brother. She went to her room and I sat down to watch TV. About an hour later, I called her downstairs.

Seph bounded down the stairs, "Hey, Jean. What's up? Is it super secret roommate stuff?"

"Wow, you're happy. Anyway, what do you want for dinner?" I smiled, as I walked into the kitchen.

Seph threw her arm around my shoulders, "Are there any good pizza places around here?"

We got pizza and sat in the living room. A breaking news report flashed on the TV. A male reporter started to talk, "I'm reporting to you live from Sydney, Australia. Just about thirty minutes ago, in Oxford Art Factory shots rang out. The building was crowded with people while a concert was being played. Though we have very little information so far, it is confirmed that only two members of the crowd were injured, however it has also been confirmed that all members of the band were injured. I am now getting word that the band members are in stable condition, except front man, Ivan Vaughn, who is in critical condition."

Seph dropped her plate and froze.

"You okay?" I demanded.

She started to shake her head. She sat back and pulled her knees to her chest. I moved next to her and put my hands on her shoulders. Seph lowered her head to her knees.

"Persephone, what's wrong?"

She didn't respond.

"Persephone! Answer me!"

She started to sob.

"Persephone Hunter! Answer me! Right now!"

She lifted her head.

"Seph, please. You're scaring me."

"He was shot. He's in the hospital, in critical condition. He's gonna die, if he hasn't already!" Seph sobbed.

"Seph, you aren't making any sense. Who are you talking about?"

"Ivan!"

"That was Ivan? As in your Ivan?"

"Yes!" Seph exclaimed, then buried her head back in her knees.

Seph fell over on the couch. I held and reassured her until she stopped crying.

Mahoi Nahoi

I said exciting things were happening, and they did! I can promise that Ivan will ABSOLUTELY NOT go into a coma. I'm just casually typing this in class. Even more exciting things will be coming soon. Also, a cliffhanger is coming soon! *evil laughter* That's all for now.

Peace my lovelies!
