Here it is!! Enjoy! I know a little long! Please please don't forget to give some feedback!

"Perfect!" I said as we put our finishing touches to our sea-shell collage.

"I dunno, it seems kind of unfinished. Oooh! I know what about that sea-shell you have in your room, you know that white crescent moon shaped one!" she said.

I gave an exasperated sigh, "I don't know Sam Jake is sick and dad said that I really shouldn't come over."

"Oh please, please, please, please Antoinette?"

I let out another sigh, I really shouldn't, and I knew that. But the look on Samantha's face and my own curiosity at what could have been so wrong with Jake that dad had to call me in the middle of my sleepover.

"Okay" I said.

She squealed and grabbed her purse.

We walked over to my house, I opened the door and said "Just give me a minute" I went in and suddenly noticed Sam Uyley and his gang, Sam looked like he had been talking to my dad who looked extremely tense, well they all did.

"Um hey I just came to get-"I was immediately cut off my dad.

"What are you doing here?!" he shouted "I told you your brother was sick!"

"Yes but I just need to get-"I was interrupted again.

"Get out!" I was shocked; I had never seen him this mad before.

But I numbly walked out of the house. "Hey wow that was really quick I-hey where is it I don't see it anywhere."

"Lets go, now right now" I said as I pushed her down the path back to her house.

"Why?" she asked.

"I uh well um Jake is really sick so let's just go, ok?"

"Uh sure ok we don't really need it anyway I guess" she shrugged.

A few days later I was still not allowed to go back home, Sam loved it of course but I was starting to get worried.

Finally after, my dad called and told me it was fine to come back. I tried to ask him what exactly was wrong with Jake but he said it was nothing to worry about.

When I got back I was a little shocked to see Sam and his gang there again. And I was even more shocked when I saw Jake, his hair in a buzz cut, and a scowl on his face.

"Uh hey Jake how are you feeling?" I asked a little meakly put off by his new look and attitude.

"Fine" came his gruff response. Sam suddenly nodded an all of them, Jake included abruptly left

What the hell? I thought.

"And then he just left, and now he like never talks ever. I mean when he does it is just one word. Yep that's it one word. And what is with that stupid haircut? And hanging with Sam all the time? What's so great about him? I mean he is so-"

"For god sakes Antoinette shut-up! all you do is talk about how different Jake is, well I mean he is 16 it's probably just a phase"

"Yeah him and some other guys…." I muttered.

"You know what else? His body temperature is through the roof" I said.

"Maybe he still is sick" she shrugged.

"I don't know he seems perfectly fine" I said.

"Hmm you know this sounds kind of familiar" she said as she got up and went over to her closet.

"Sam what are you talking about? What sounds familiar?" I asked flipping through one of her magazines.

"See for yourself" she said tossing me an old black book.

"What is it?" I asked flipping through the pages.

"My great-grandmothers" you see Samantha still lives in the same house her great-grandmother so she often finds little relics and things around the house.

I began reading one of her entries:

I am concerned about my beloved Leouya for he has begun acting strange , his coldness and distance have hurt me so, and his skin burns to the touch, all he seems to care about is his friends never anytime for me..I worry very deeply worry about him…………

I closed the book immediately. "Holy crap"

"It is weird that Jake is acting so similar to my great-grandpa, but whatever." She shrugged. It was weird, really weird.
