We walk in silence to the infirmary. My arm was in need of stitches. Jason laid Saige's body onto one of the beds and Hannah stayed by it. Jason walked over to me while Emma went to get the princable and Brittany and April went to get the nurses. Jason didn't say anything. He only sat down on the bed and hugged me.

A loud clamour of voices burst through the doors and a nurse fainted. Jason and I turn around and see tear-streaked Hannah sitting at the foot of the bed. The nurses come and try to calm her down in a feeble attempt. "Get away from me!" The nurses took a few steps back and Ashton appeared. Hannah looked up immediately and threw herself into his arms. He was expecting this and held her. A single tear rolling down his cheek. "Hannah, I love you, and so did she," Ashton says, his voice catching at the word she, "we have to go see the  principle, he wants to talk to you."

"No. No talking. Just quiet. Just love." Hannah peels herself away from Ashton and walks over to Saige's body. "She; Saige Dacrom, died on the 28th of November, 2013. She died...my best friend died. She's dead..." Hannah took Ashton's hand and they were gone. No one went after them. We knew she was going to be alright if Ashton was with her.

"Students," The Principle was announcing to the gathering people outside, near the crumbled metal. Where the dead and crushed dragon lay. "and Families, on this once pleasant night, it is sad to see a loved one leave us. Saige Dacrom." Gasps came from all over the place. Due to the death I would advise all of the families to leave and to be expecting the students not to contact anyone for 3 days, as this is a tradition here for the Travellers. 3 days of mourning." Murmurs and whispering went on until the families said goodbye and left the campus.

The students that remained were asked to go to the dorms and remain until further notice. Our gang how ever were asked to stay. We were all still crying. All the students but 2 left. Ricky Small and Natallie Parker had stayed, tears cascading down their faces like a waterfalls. Brittany walked up to Ricky and hugged him. Emma walked towards us, the bounce in her step had gone, "Ricky has a huge....had a huge crush on Saige. They were in the same class. Natallie is just quiet." Emma told me. No emotion in her voice. Like she was dead inside.

"Hi guys..." Natallie walked up to Jason and I. Natallie was always quiet, never really the outstanding student. "...its pretty sad...you know? Being Hannah's birthday and all." I never really thought about it. "Its like every time she has a birthday its a big reminder...How sad." Natallie finished. April, Emma, Brittany and Ricky had gone...to were? I have no clue. "Look, Natallie I know that-"

"I have to talk to you." Natallie cut of Jason in the middle of his sentance. I was beginning not to like her. "Look," she said, "I know its all tragic and sad and stuff but, how are you and Jason? 'Coz I've been hearing rumors that he is cheating on you. So is he free?" I slapped her. "You bitch! You can back off!" I shout at Natallie, "One of my best friends just died and your asking if me if my boyfriend is free?" She stammers and vanishes. "What was that about?" Jason says as he walks up next to me. "Just Natallie sticking her nose where it doesn't belong." I say. Gods, I'm a bit of a bitch.

"Come on, we better find Hannah and Ashton. They might want to talk to us." I tell Jason. What I said wasn't true...I just needed a distraction from Sa- from everything. We jump to the greenhouse and find Hannah asleep in Ashton's arms. Ashton looks at us but says nothing. I heard him in my head: "She blames you, you know. She says that You shouldn't have let out that dragon." His voice is gone. Jason gives me a questioning look but shakes it off when I look at him. My face gives everything away. I break down. Not crying and trying to be strong isn't for me. I fall to my knees. My vision blurry and distorted. Jason picks me up and nods at Ashton. The sight of Ashton disappeared and new surroundings appear.

A plain room. With blue walls, like the colour of Jason's eyes. "Hey. Sammy? Baby? Talk to me. You haven't spoken for ten minutes." Jason said, placing me on the couch and sitting next to me. I look at him. Into his eyes. "I- Its my fault that Saige is dead. I was the one that let that dragon thing out. Now everyone hates me. I don't blame them. I hate my self right now too." I whisper.  Jason sighs. Whether it was a sigh of relief, of stress? I didn't know.

"Sam, it wasn't your fault. Hannah is just grieving over Saige.She will come to realize that it was an accident and in no way your fault. But you have to give them time. You have to give me time." Jason says that last part like it kills him. "Give you time? What are you saying?" I ask frantically. "Samantha, my 18th birthday is in two days...I cant have you around when IT happens. You cant be around me anymore its to dangerous." He says, his eyes evading mine. "No...that's not fair! I don't care about the danger! I love you! remember? You love me. Right?" "Of course I love you Sam. I just don't want to hurt you." Its like a remake of twilight. But I just fast forwarded to the end and they were back together. I cant fast forward reality. I fight back hot tears. One escapes and falls down my cheek. Jason bring his hand up to my cheek to wipe the tear away. "Sammy I-" Don't." I say, pushing his hand away. "I going to sleep in April's dorm room tonight. I hope you realize your mistake."

I Jump from his room to April's. April walked out of the bathroom as I walked in the door. I look at her with wishful eyes and nods. "You can sleep in Tiffany's bed. She is out in Egypt for a school thing. Wont be back until next week." I fall asleep. Trying to forget.
