Updating finally, about two hours before I have to attempt to sleep. I've been up since like three in the morning, but I'm hyper. Anyway, enjoy!

Aidan had been sent to the hospital, revealing that he had broken his arm and had some minor bruises on his body. His parents had obviously been notified, but weren't there due to traffic.

Back at the school, Jackson was sitting in homeroom, bored. He was bored, and worried, but especially bored. He couldn't remember a time when Aidan wasn't next to him. He ignored the constant notes being thrown at him, until the made a small pile on his desk. He sighed.

" Can you guys not take a hint?" he asked, crumpling up the papers and throwing them into the recycling bin from his seat. At this point, they were stuck in homeroom until the school sorted out the bus problem and the wreck. Jackson's eyes traveled around the room, miserably. He continued to look outside through the windows until the office had called, asking for him. Sure enough, he got out of his seat, and trudged to the office.

When he had gotten up to the office, he saw Eden and Narrissa sitting on the benches. Eden was singing a song she had heard on the radio on the way from the wreck, and Narrissa was stuffing her face in a book. Literally. He couldn't see her face, as she was using the book as her shield. He gently tapped her shoulder, and she looked up with her eyes.

" They called you down here too?" she questioned, taking the book from her face. He shrugged. " I have no clue what this is about." he told her, and sat next to her. They talked a moment about what they thought this was, until an important looking lady came from one of the rooms in the office. " I need you three to come here for a moment-make sure your things are put away." she stated. Narrissa shoved her book in her homeroom slot, and then got up. Eden and Jackson followed, and all of them were lead outside to a car.

" What's this about?" Eden asked the lady, moving her hair behind her, and kicking one leg back and forth. Narrissa eventually stopped her by slightly kicking her leg.

" Aidan, your friend who was hurt in the accident, wants you guys to come see him. I'm taking you there." she replied, gesturing to her van. Jackson opened the door, hopping into the front seat. " Shotgun." he called at a late time, and then closed the door. Narrissa and Eden went into the backseat, and the lady got in after they had been seated.

" So Aidan wants to see us?" Narrissa asked the lady as she began to drive the vehicle out of the parking lot. The lady only nodded before turning and heading toward the hospital.

Aidan opened his eyes, blinking slowly at his surroundings. He closed his eyes again, noticing the pain. His arm was hurting incredibly, like something had split his vein open and left it bleeding. It felt cold, rushing, and aching. He couldn't think of anything else but the pain at that time.

He slowly turned his head toward the TV, reaching for the remote with his good arm. He changed it to channel 52, and then set the remote back down. He was going to watch TV, although he really hated it. He wanted to read or play his instrument, but he couldn't. Thanks to his stupid arm.

As he was about to reach for the remote again because he was getting bored, the door opened, revealing Jackson, Narrissa, and Eden. He smiled at them. Jackson walked around, seeing Aidan like this would definitely take some getting used to. He sat on the couch, Narrissa sitting next to him. Eden sat to where she could bend her legs on the second cushion, because her legs hurt for no good reason.

Aidan ignored Eden, and looked at Jackson. " What, are you two a thing now?" he asked in a small voice, eyes going from him to Narrissa. Jackson fake barfed, while Narrissa punched him on the shoulder. " Hey! Aidan already broke his arm, don't break mine!" he complained. She smirked, and looked back at Aidan.

" You definitely did more than break you arm." she mumbled slightly. He frowned. " The doctors said I would be in here for a few days at the least." he told her. Jackson suddenly brightened up. " You know what that means!" he began, and then jumped off the couch. He began beating on the wall as a drum roll. " Cafeteria food!" he yelled. Aidan rolled his eyes. " Shut up Jackson, you're going to wake the elderly." Eden warned seriously. He looked at her. " If the elderly here are anything like my grandparents, they wouldn't wake up for the end of the world." he laughed. Narrissa did one of those aggravated yet playful smiles, looking over at him.

Suddenly, Eden's cell phone began ringing. He was a light tune of some older music, and she picked it up. After a little bit of talk, she had announced she had to leave. Narrissa had went downstairs with her to make sure she didn't decide to criticize any doctors. Only Jackson was left in the room with Aidan.

" So, what's with you and Narrissa? One moment she hates your guts and now she's joking around with you?" he asked. Jackson laughed a bit. " We're just friends. But I'm not really sure if I should say that, I don't know how she feels about me. This could be an act." he told him. Aidan smiled one of those trying not to laugh smiles and looked up at Jackson. " Are girls that confusing to you? She obviously likes you. Think about it, she's not annoyed at you all the time, she doesn't go all googly eyed on you like the other girls do. She actually takes time to know you, and she's not afraid to talk to you. It isn't an act, she's just good at hiding her feelings." he explained.

Jackson raised an eyebrow. " Since when do you know so much about girls?" he asked. " Since Camille in fourth grade. She liked me, and never told me. Her best friends even told me, but she wouldn't. Unlike Camille, Narrissa doesn't really have a secret-teller. She doesn't let anyone know about her thoughts. She's mysterious, which is why I can tell she likes you. She hangs around you, and Camille would always try to get in a conversation with me. Trust me dude, she likes you." he told Jackson.

Jackson only shrugged at the conversation, barely believing Aidan's statements were true.

However, it wasn't until they were departing the hospital from the same lady that he was seriously considering the thought of Narrissa liking him. She smiled allot more around him. Sure she kept that attitude of hers, and her back-sass, but that was only what you could expect from Narrissa.

She made so many smart comments around him that it was unbelievable compared to how quiet she used to be. He used to hear nothing from her, but now he couldn't imagine her not talking, to him.

Jackson was so wound up in his thoughts, that hadn't even noticed Narrissa had fallen asleep in the back seat, until he managed to get his head out of the clouds. She was leaning against the door, her eyes closed, and her light purple eye shadow sparkling in the streetlights. He watched her for a moment, before mentally smacking his head. ' Stop staring at her.' he commanded himself, and jerked his head away.

The rest of the night was difficult for Jackson. Narrissa was dropped off first, having to be woken up form her light sleep. She had said bye to him and left to her house. After he was dropped off, he headed toward the couch. It was 11:00 at night. He had to get some sleep. His little brother wasted no time zooming down the stairs with his Nerf gun, prepared to shoot anything that moved.

" Calm down Robbie. It's just me." Jackson sighed, getting really tired from being sprawled on the couch. " Where were you?" he heard his mother call. " I thought you were asleep at this time mom." Jackson said. Ignoring his question. He heard her huff. " I was waiting for you. Your little brother refused to sleep." she told him. " Were you with the aliens? What did they say?" Robbie asked, walking over to Jackson. " I'm going to sleep. Have a ball." Jackson announced, and went to his room. He locked himself in before Robbie could get in.

And the rest of the night, the only person in his mind was Narrissa.
