JAYDEN:
Her hands loosen around me as she starts to drift off to sleep. My sweater damp with her tears and a little stiff where my blood has dried. Despite that, I stay put, enjoying the feeling of Jade; not wanting her to wake up. So much more makes sense now, for example the panic attacks although I don't see why she blames herself so much for the loss of her sister.

Losing a close one makes my heart go out to her. She has been through a lot. I suppose everyone I really, really care about has a lot of baggage. The loss of someone so close to your heart is something I can completely relate with; as can Isaac, Jonghyun and Kris however in my case I wish it was more like the way the others have...

After all: Betrayal is worse than death... To me at least.

I feel something in Jade's pocket poke my thigh. I pull it out to see a small, silver locket with a JG engraved onto it beside a small lily. I open the locket to be graced by two small photos. One is a picture of Jade, the other I assume is Gabbe. The girl looks two years younger than who I think is a 14 year old Jade

The girl- Gabbe- a petite brunette with blue streaks in her, she shares the exact same eye colour and shape as Jade's eyes. Though Gabbe's complexion is more like an olive compared to Jade. Her lips are bow shaped but not plump the way Jade's are.

Am I just comparing everything to Jade? I shake my head and I focus on the other photo:
Jade looks around her age now... 15ish with the same brunette. They're wearing matching ripped jeans and white tops and fully made up. This is the least I've seen her cover, a small band of her midriff peeking through under the cropped top and the skin through her jeans.

They both pose and I feel myself wishing I was there to see her smile so brightly. Gabbe's eyes shining with admiration for Jade as she poses oblivious to her sisters gaze.

I snap a picture of the photo making a promise that one day I'm going to try make her smile this bright as I slip the locket/pendant back into her pocket.

A text message beebs interrupting the comfortable silence. I pull it out quickly as to silence it. I don't want Jade to wake up... She needs her sleep.  I have a message of my next fight which, is that last of this months... That's strange.

Usually I'm aware of any set fight months before, here I only have a week and half till my next. What Jade doesn't know is that the cut Cain made bleed was already there. He just slashed it open again, deepening the scratch so that now it's more of a gash. I have a week to make sure it's fully healed and I need to prepare. Reluctant,I take Jade upstairs and tuck her into my bed watching as she curls up in a half foetus- half yearner position.

I take quiet steps towards her sleeping body placing a soft butterfly kiss against her forehead before retreating away from the bed. The kiss makes my lips tingle, a buzzing feeling making me feel wide awake, as though before I was half awake the way one is when they just wake up. I pull out my phone having dialed coach's number.

"Hey coach! Is practise on today?"

"Jayden? yes it is but I want to have a word with you. You've been slacking off and I've only seen you for one weeks worth of training this entire term. " I can hear the disguised relief in his voice. As much as he doesn't want to show it he was worried I didn't turn up this term because I'm usually one of the first guys there at practise.
