Author's Note: It's been so long since I updated, and I'm sorry about that! Thank you for the response to the first chapter! A lot of stuff changed since my last chapter, including my penname, and where I was intending to take this story. I have a new direction (and a better one in my opinion!)

Disclaimer: Don't own. But you know that already.


My breathing pattern goes crazy as he drags me to a quiet corner. It's only when we get there that I realise that everyone is staring at him, whispering. I hear people tutting and the odd glare comes my way. What in the name of hell happened between me leaving last night, and returning this morning?

"Joseph, you're starting to make me..."

"No. Let me talk."

I freeze. What could he need to talk to me about? I don't like this urgency. There's nothing running through my mind. Nothing. I can't even think the worst because I'm so confused. He's staring into my eyes. He's... staring straight into me. Usually, this feeling would comfort me, but right now, I'm terrified.

His eyes look dark somehow. When I really look at him, he looks dark. His eyes look empty and I don't think he's slept. His hand is still resting on my elbow, and when I look down at it, I notice that it's cut. Not just cut, ripped to shreds. Still bleeding. I gently pull it towards me, and stare at him.

"It's nothing. I need to talk to you"

"It's been five minutes since you said that. Just talk."

"Faye..."

"What about her?"

"She's um. We've..."

His eyes aren't empty any more. They're filling with tears. I let go of his bleeding hand, and he collapses into me. What can I do, other than hold him? Do I ask him questions? Have they broken up? I need to know. I need to know. He suddenly pulls away from me.

"She knew, Jac."

"Knew what?"

"About you?"

"What about me?"

"She knew"

He walks away. Just... walks away. What the hell does that mean, she knew about me? Knew what?


A/N: I know that it was super-short, but I had to change things at little so I needed to get myself into the flow of this story! Review if you want to. If you don't like, don't be mean. There's no need for that.
