Brian lay awake, staring at the underside of the top bunk that Ted now was asleep in. He flipped his feet around and sat up on his rock hard mattress, if you could even call it that. It had been a week since they had saved the school and tomorrow was the day that Brian had been dreading, Jenny was leaving.

Knowing that sleep would elude him all night Brian stood up, sat at his desk, and booted up Field of Fire. It was easy for him to find pub lobby that he could join, being hard wired into the second most powerful internet connection in the world had its perks. As soon as Brian connected to that server he felt at home. He hadn't been on a pub server since the day that he killed the law. Brain found himself getting lost in the game. He was almost as good as the pros, and playing against people that only logged maybe one to two hours a day. It was too easy.

People trembled in fear when he walked by, and froze before they even had a chance to kill him. It was like the roles had reversed and he was the law. Hours went by and Brain was only stopped by the annoying sound of his alarm going off. Brian took off his headset and went to shake Ted awake, he is a really heavy sleeper and was never woken by the sound of their morning alarm. "Wakey wakey Teddy." Brain said, he always had fun thinking up funny things to say as he shook violently to wake up his best friend.

"Ok, Ok I'm up!"

"Well good cause we have a long day ahead of us" Brian said.

"It's gonna be ok, me and Ki will always be here for you man." Ted gave a comforting smile that lifted Brian's spirit just a little.

"I know you guys will." He now had a smile on his face. Brian was so happy that the feud with his best friend was behind them, if it wasn't there was no way in hell he'd ever make it through today.

Brian, Ted, and Ki made their way to Jenny's room. Ki, trying to help as usual was telling Brian about the new game she was designing, "It's a game about us," she told them, "I wanted to make a new VGHS game after how bad and confusing the last one was."

"That's great Kiwi" Ted exclaimed, giving her a huge hug. After the walk that took five minutes but felt like five hours they finally reached Jennys room. The three of them stood there, Brian staring at the whiteboard that read, 'Jenny's Room' along with the hearts and guns that Brian had previously drawn on it, Ted and Ki waiting and watching Brian to see what he would do. Brian had made a gameplan the night before, but forgot everything that he had prepared. Brain had never felt so sad in his entire life, he was going to be alone, again, and he may never find a girl like Jenny ever. But Brian sucked it up, held back on a few tears and opened the door.

"Its locked?" Brian said wondering why, Jenny's door was never locked. I mean he had always told her to lock it, but she never listened. Brain just saw it as that she had finally listened and decided that she should get in the habit of locking the door for when she moved to Paris. He pulled the key that Jenny gave him out of his pocket, and in his nervousness, dropped it. "Sorry Guys." Brain said to his friends while putting the key into the door.

"Don't you think that Jenny should have heard us and opened the door by now?" Ki whispered to Ted as they walked in the room. Brian's dropped the key again when he and the others went into Jenny's room.

It was empty, thats right empty, but not just 'I'm moving and packing my stuff empty' it was nobody lives here empty. Brian wondered what was going on as he pulled out his phone and sent a text to Jenny asking where she was. She had told Brian that after they all ate breakfast that he needed to help her finish packing, so then why was everything just gone? Before he could even think about an answer to that question his phone buzzed, it was a call… From Jenny Matrix.

"Where are you Jenny" Brian asked, already knowing the answer, and already starting to tear up.

"Brian I… I left a little earlier than expected, Coach offered to play me in the exhibition game today if I flew out in the middle of last night, I went to your room, but didn't want to wake you, I knew how hard this was for you already and I didn't want to make it worse."

"Jenny I was up all night, I couldn't sleep, I wanted to tell you so many things today…" Tears started running down Brian's face, "and you made it worse, much worse, I hope you are happy, have fun in that exhibition."

"But Brian, wait, I lo..." Brian ended the call before he could hear her finish,

"She's gone guys, she left without saying goodbye."

"I'm here for you Brian," Ki said giving Brian a huge hug, and holding back tears of her own, Jenny was her best girl friend and it was going to be hard living with the two boys without her.

"I can't stand to see you sad like this we should go get some ice cream." There was Ted always looking to food for any situation,

"That sounds good guys." So together all of them went off campus to go to their favorite ice cream shop, and with that it was over, Brian and Jenny's relationship, just like that. It stung, Brian couldn't hide it, but he could try to push it to the back of his mind by having fun with his friends.

School was a blur, and not because it was going fast, Brian hated every second of it. Everywhere he looked reminded him of Ms. Matrix, or 'Her' as he referred to her. He had opened up to Ted and Ki a lot, which was very helpful. For the first two weeks after Jenny left they never left Brain's side. But after a while they needed some time alone, they were dating after all, and Brian understood that. But he still dreaded the time where he was alone. All he would do was lie in bed and stare at the underpart of the top bunk. He couldn't do anything without bursting out crying. Even playing FoF made it worse, he couldn't even do well in pubs, let alone try to practice with other people from the FPS team he was just sad and alone. That is until the summer rolled around.
