"Nice try. -Jay." Cade reads aloud.

"Sam?" Hazel calls from the door.

"Shit." I say a little too loudly.

"What is he doing here-what the heck?!" Hazel exclaims in a shocking tone.

"I accidentally hit Jay in the head with a blade." I say playing with my fingers.

"What?!" Hazel screams.

Cade immediately grabs her and pulls her next to the bed. He cuffs her mouth and motions me to hide. I duck behind the bed and watch as Cade does the same with Hazel in his grasp.

Suddenly, I see feet enter the room and listen as the boots crunch against the broken vase. I hold my breath and close my eyes, praying it isn't a demon.

"What the fuck?" Ash's voice rings through the air.

"Oh my god, you scared me." I say getting to my feet.

"Sam?" Ash asks as Cade quickly shoves Hazel out of his grasp.

"That's right, run." Hazel snaps at him kicking him in the stomach hard.

I help Cade to his feet and sit him on the bed.

"What. Happened?" Ash demands angrily.

"Sam almost killed Jay, who claimed Jay tried to kill her first, and now she's gone." Hazel sums up.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Ash demands frowning at Cade.

"Emotional support?" Cade says with a shrug.

"I could kill you right now." Ash says as his eyes turn to a dark purple.

"Okay, stop it you two. We've got more important matters to deal with right now." I yell over the ruckus.

"What are we going to do?" Hazel asks.

"I don't know." I say honestly.

"We have to hide this. If the board gets involved, who knows what will happen to Sam." Ash announces.

"Okay, so we clean it up and hope that Jay doesn't come back for revenge?" Cade sarcastically agrees with.

"Yes, do you have a better plan?" Ash snaps at him.

"Anythings better than that." Cade hisses back.

"I'm not listening to anything coming out of that mouth." Ash raises his voice back.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cade barks.

"Okay that's enough!" I yell.

The room goes silent as everyone waits for me to initiate the next conversation topic.

"I'll clean it up. You guys go and tell the administration that Jay snuck away and hasn't been seen for over 24 hours. Go. Now." I order getting to my knees beginning to clean up the mess.

Everyone leaves except for Hazel. She gives me a sympathetic look before slapping my arm.

"Ow. What the heck?" I demand.
