Neal's P.O.V.

We stared at the doctor and he stared back for a while until he broke and smiled.

"your friend. She's a tough one. She kept fighting. The bullet shot right into the middle of her stomach and it was leeding profusely. We stopped the bleeding luckily and got the bullet out. We had to do a few blood transfusions but other than that, she will be fine. So very lucky. Go ahead and see her through the window because she's sleeping." he warned, shaking his head. Everyone nodded their head eagerly and headed inside except me. I had to tell the good news to my parents. I ran to my parents room and charged throu the door. I stopped and panted, trying to catch my breath while trying to tell them the good news.

"J-Jade......sur.......gery......suc......cess......now......doc......tor to.....ld........." i said while panting.

"really?!" the said together. I nodded my head and stared at them. Dad was smiling in relief and Mom was crying joy-filled tears. I smiled at them and stepped forward to hug Mom. She hugged me back and started crying into my shoulder.

"I-I'm so.......HAPPY!!!!!" she cried while sobbing into my shoulder. When she comed down i let go of her.

"go." Dad said. I smiled and ran out, toward Jade's room.

Jade's P.O.V.

colors. Black, blue, pink, red everywhere. It's starting to make me dizzy. It keeps switching around and around my head. Ugh. Wait. There's a light up ahead. Doesn't matter if i walk though because i'll just get restrained. The little voice in my head said, do it. You will make it. But then another voice in my head said, don't. Your just feeding yourself false hope. Woah! I'm starting to become crazy. Hmmm. What to do, what to do? I pick to go ahead and i see hat there were no chains this time. I start walking faster and faster until it became a full-blown sprint. I enter the light and it blinded me. Slowly the light faded and i opened my eyes just a crack. A bright light shines above my head. I sqweeze my eyes shut. There's a throbbing pain in my head and my joints feel so stiff. I feel like i have a hangover. I groaned and openned my eyes slowly so my eyes could adjust. When they adjusted i took in my surroundings. 4 white walls. Machines hooked up to me and beeping in an even rate. I'm wearing a hospital gown and i'm in a hospital room. How in the world did i get here? I thought about what happened and groaned. I fell back onto the bed and then shot up in anxiety. Are they okay? I started hyperventilating and my heart rate quickened. Nurses came in and started soothing me. I kept screaming Tessa and Liam when they bursted through the door looking frightened. I caught sight of them and relief flooded through me. They're all right. Then pain shot through me, kicking the relief to the curb.

"ahhh!" i scream. I fell back to the bed and clutched my stomach. Someone injected some morphine into me and the pain subsided. I slowly became more sleepy and fell asleep.

I woke up and saw the Newmans and my friends sleeping inside the room. I chuckled because some of the girls had to sleep on other guys laps. Seems like Darcy is getting comfortable with Zach. Zach was holding Darcy by the waist and Darcy was snuggling next to Zach. Ohhh! I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:00 am. I cleared my throat and everyone woke up and groggily looked around. When they saw that i was staring at them with a smile on my face, their faces lit up.

"Jade!!!!!!" they cried and scrambled up and ran to my bed.

"that's my name, don't wear it out." i joked. They hugged me but i cried out in pain. They took a step back and looked at me with worried eyes. I waved my hand and dismissed it, turning my head so they wouldn't see me cry. I looked back at Darcy and Zach who were in the back, holding hands and being all lovey-dovey.

"now when did that start?"i said, pointing at Zach and Darcy. Darcy blushed and Zach pulled her close by the waist and kissed her. Everyone ohhed and Darcy blushed some more. I laughed but then became serious.

"what did i miss?" i asked innocently but with a double meaning in it. Once i said it i regretted it. Everyone grimanced and looked away.

Nathan broke the silence by saying,"lets talk later. We're supposed to be happy that your awake right? Did u know that u slept through 2 weeks of school?"

"aw dayum! Did gossip explode?" i asked them.

"yeah it was awful! Everyone kept asking about ur dissapearence and then when they heard about the Newman incident gossip and rumours spread like wild fire! Geez, i will never tease a newbie again!" George cried melodramaticely. I smiled and then the doctor came in.

"hey Jade. How are you putting up? I swear these people are so annoying! So u can leave now Jade. Just don't do anything rash until ur wound heals and no physical activity except for walking, eating, etc. got it?" he said with a playful tone in his voice. I smiled and nodded and he left. Tessa gave me a spare change of clothes and everyone except Mia and Bia left. Mia and Bia helped me take off the hospital gown and i saw myself. There was a cut with stitches keeping it inplace. I swallowed audibly and placed on my clothes. I left the room and started walking toward the hospital entrance. Darcy, Melanie, Quiin, Mia, Bia, George, Nathan, and Neal formed a box for me. Tessa and Liam in the front were leading. Everyone else trailed. I placed on the sunglasses someone handed me and kept walking. We walked and them paperazzi started flashing their cameras at us. I was thankful to whoever gave me sunglasses to wear. We walked out into the parkinglot and into 5 cars. My friends had seperate cars and we split up and went into the cars. We drove home were more paperazzi were waiting for us with their killer cameras. We stepped out and walked up to the house. People kept yelling out questions that they just tumbled together. I was starting to get dizzy and confused. It was so overwhelming but i kept my straight-face together. We walked up to the house and went inside and slammed the door in their faces. Everyone took off their sunglasses except me. I started crying and i felt so vunerable. I kept my straight-face on and walked up the stairs. The boys came hurrying after me but Liam told them not to. Tessa followed me until i slammed the door in her face. My back was on the door and i slid down it slowly, drowning myself in tears. People started banging on the door but i locked it and curled up in a ball, lying on the floor crying. I crawled toward my cabinet and grabbed my personal photo album. I flipped through it until the 2 last page. It was a large photo of my parents and sister smiling into the camera at my favourite beach in the morning so the background was the sunset. The other picture was a large picture of my sister and i at this secret place that only her and me know of. It was a clearing in the woods, not in Vancouver, and it was fall. The leaves were brilliant colors and they covered the ground and danced around us. Some were in our hair and clothes. It was my most favourite place ever. I would scream out my thoughts and worries there and nobody found me. I brought her one day to show her and she loved it. She swore to never tell anybody and that this would be our secret place. I stared at that photo with new tears flooding my eyes. The memory was so nice yet stung painfully at my heart. I pulled my knees to my chest and my photo album was in between. I wrapped my arms around my knees and sobbed toward the sky. Why did my parents have to go? Why my little sister? I missed them so much. I screamed out of frustration and the banging became louder. WHY?!?!?!
