Erika's POV
The rest of the day went by really smoothy. No one bothered me at school and everyone seemed to want to talk to Jake or hang out with Jake. I think what he did was rely nice and he deserves all the attention. The one thing I don't like about it was I don't get to have alone time with jake anymore and today I just felt left out.

Everything was going fine when I got into my car after school and I was really out of breath. I didn't know what was happening. I had barely walked anywhere. I hadn't even been running.

I sat in my car for about 10 minutes till I was able to settle my breathing. I knew something wasn't right but I just pushed it away like it was nothing. Maybe ill tell Jake later. He'll tell me what to do. He always gives the best advice.

Jake's POV

Today was great. For once this year I actually had people to hang out with besides Erika. Also I didn't get any mean stares or rude notes. Maybe school isn't so bad after all. The one thing I do regret about all this attention is I get to spend less time with Erika. I could tell she wanted to be with me but it didn't register with me till she had walked away. I had tried to find her but I couldn't. It's like she had gone MIA.

For the rest of the day I didn't see Erika at all. I was starting to get worried about her. At the end of the day I found her sitting in her car. The bell had rung about 15 minuets ago and usually she would of been gone by now.

I entered her car and she was just sitting there staring into space. She didn't even realize i was there. Finally I clapped my hands in front of her face and finally she looked at me. This was not normal for her. Usually she would be really excited to see me and she would instantly hug me. Today she just sat there and looked at me. I could tell something was bothering her.

J: Hey Erika, whats with the mood.

E: Nothing.

J: Erika, I know there is something wrong. Don't like to me.

E: I don't know what it is. It could be one of two things

J: and what are those things

E: Well one is that you are getting so much attention and we didn't get to hang out today.

J: why didn't you just tell me. I would of spent time with you.

E: I.... You were having so much fun and I didn't want to ruin that for you.

J: Im Sorry. Ill spend time with you anytime you want. also what is the second thing?

E: Do you remember when I went to the hospital for the second time and I was told I have a weird heart?

J: Ya. What about it?

E: Well I was walking to the car today and when I got to my car I was completely out of breath and it took me 10 minutes to get it under control. Jake, I think something is really wrong. I don't know what it is but its something.

J: Do you want to go to the doctor and get it checked out? We don't want it to get any worse.

E: Sure
