OK, I am experiencing a bit of writer's block, so this chapter might be a bit iffy! Review! :D Hope you like it, the big question will be answered shortly: Do they know about The Book? Well the poll knows all!
I sat on my bed, just thinking. Sam called asking what happened with Jade. I wasn't sure if I should tell him about Jade and Selena and Faith quite yet, so I told him just that she told me her parents died and we just talked mostly. When he asked what, I was a bit nervous and just said stuff. We hung up. Then Fred came over asking the same thing, so I just told him what I told Sam. Fred believed it and didn't even ask what we talked about. (Kudos to Fred.)
After dinner I sat on my bed, staring at the phone.
'Should I call Jade?' I thought. I squirmed, wondering. Finally, I grabbed the phone and piece of paper Jade gave me.

Meanwhile…
Jade's POV:
I couldn't concentrate at all the rest of the day. Everything I did reminded me of Joe. Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe. Joe. I sighed and collapsed on my bed. Faith called and gave my sympathy about my parents and today's accident. Natasha at first was a bit harsh against her and Selena, being mortal enemies of her, but eventually she got used to it. I told Faith to calm down, she was talking faster than a hunted jack rabbit (As Faith would say…) and I could barely understand her.
"Cool it Faith!"
"I'm just so sorry! Especially since it was my parent's that've caused yall' this pain!" I immediately knew now that Faith was crying. A while back she told me her parents set the bomb, but I was never mad at her. She's always been ashamed of herself for her parent's wrong doings. Poor Faith. I sighed again.
"It's OK. Never was it your fault Faith." Faith slowly stopped crying.
"Then what did yall' talk about?" Uh-oh. I didn't want to go down this road.
"We just er… talked."
"'Bout what?"
"Stuff."
"What kinda stuff?"
"Faith! Enough with the questions please! Just stuff, OK?"
"OK." My phone beeped its annual two beeps when someone else was calling.
"Just a sec Faith, it's probably Selena. I'll make it a 3-Way if it is." I looked at the phone. That wasn't Selena's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey. Is this Jade?" I sat up. It was Joe! I smiled. (Ya, like he could see it!)
"Oh hey Joe! It's Jade, just a sec."
"'K." I turned back to Faith.
"Well, who is it?" She asked impatiently. I replied quickly.
"It's Joe gotta go see ya at school Faith!" Before she could even respond I switched back to Joe.
"So, you called?"
"…Ya."
"So what for?"
"Oh… um, you know, just to talk."
"Hmmm I didn't know. But go on." Joe didn't answer for a long time. I began to wonder if he had hung up on me. I checked. No, he didn't, and also I could still hear him lightly breathing.
"Joe? You still there?"
"Oh! Ya, ya… it's just…" He trailed off.
"About what Joe? If it's just another question I can answer it."
"It is… but I'm not sure whether or not I should ask you."
Uh-Oh.
………………………………………………………………………………...
Joe's POV:
"So, you called?" Jade teased. I blushed.
"…Ya." I felt really nervous. I knew I shouldn't have done this! Argh!! I can be such an idiot!
"So what for?" Jade didn't sound angry or anything. She sounded almost as nervous as I was probably feeling.
"Oh…um, you know, just to talk."
"Hmmm I didn't know. But go on." I stayed silent. I didn't know what to say! Well, I did, but I didn't know how to start off this conversation really.
"Joe? You still there?"
"Oh! Ya…Ya… It's just…" I trailed off.
"About what Joe? If it's just another question I can answer it." I knew she was right, but I was still scared. Then I don't know what came over me, but I began just, talking.
"It is… but I'm not sure whether or not I should ask you."
"Oh. Well… I think I can handle it." I sighed. Should I just hang up? Oh God! I was so scared I swore I almost peed!
"In…Lynnox…or…School of Ancient Arts…did…you…ever…"
"Ever what Joe?! Spit it out!" I got mad. Really mad.
"Ever learn about something called The Book!" I hung up and threw the phone across the room.
Yikes! I never really planned for some anger, but it happened! So does she? Will they stay mad at each other for a long time? Some many questions!
