Author's Note: Not mine, never will be mine. I AM BACK! I had a lovely vacation, the day I left it started to rain, apparently it didn't stop raining so I'm glad I left. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I think there will be one more chapter, of course I can add more later. Thanks for being patient with me.

Sage and Sol

September 12th (Written on lined paper)

I'm dead, dead and doomed. Maybe I should start packing now and save myself the trouble, I know I'll move to Pluto no one can find me there so I can live there in peace with out someone making fun of me. That sounds like a good idea, or maybe Ireland, I think I can hide in Ireland it won't be that difficult. The reason I'm dead is because I lost my journal and it would be fine and all except for the fact it has my secrets in it like the one about me liking Jack. I musta left it in one of my classrooms and someone picked it up. I hope that if they read it they will write it off as the ramblings of some mad person. My teacher knows I've been writing daily but I really don't want to find out that the protection Jack Kelly and Racetrack laid over me doesn't work with public humiliation. Of course they'll probably drop the protection once they find out I like Jack Kelly anyways.

Spot writing, Davey stop panicking. Your history project is this afternoon and you know you need to be calm in order to present. Everything'll work out, you'll see.

Hah like he can talk it's not the same. Racetrack knows Spot likes him, 'cause yesterday Race asked Spot out. Oh, I didn't write about that yet did I? It was so romantic I thought. Spot was sulking by his locker waiting for me to finish looking for my journal when Jack and Racetrack came over.

"Hey Davey," Jack said and I blushed, I know I did, 'cause there was a hint of amusement in Spot's eyes.

"Hey," I said managing not to stutter which was no mean feat. Racetrack looked funny hands behind his back, a light blush on his cheeks.

"You ready for tomarrow's presentation?" he asked, sounding like he was trying to sound calm.

"Yep, I'm ready I had the easy part." I said nodding. Jack raised an eyebrow obviously suprised.

"You had the easy part?" he asked in disbelief and I nodded though Spot spoke up. Even in a foul mood he can't resist poking fun at my Hammurabi obsession.

"Jacky-boy, haven't you learned about Davey's obsession with Hammurabi? Of course it's easy for him."

I glared at him and smacked him in the arm. "Shut up," i hissed, before continuing a little sheepishly. "It's true though."

Jack smiled lightly and pushed Racetrack gently forward. All humor in Spot's eyes vanished and was replaced by a cold mask, I hate the mask it took me all of freshman year to break it but it still comes back, the bane of my exsistance.

"Hey, Spot." Racetrack said and to me it sounded like he was trying to sound casual.

"Hey." Spot returned cooly and I smacked him again on this time on his head and hissed.

"If you don't drop your mask I'll give Aoi a Mt. Dew then lock you up with him in a room." Spot's eyes widened because he knows I'm not joking.

"You are evil." he hissed in response but I saw his mask drop. Racetrack seemed to relax, took a deep breath and handed Spot a bouquet of flowers. Spot's mouth dropped and his eyes widened almost comically.

"Spot I really like you." Racetrack began and Spot shakily accepted the bouquet as Racetrack continued. "So will you go out with me?"

Spot stared at him, and I was happy to not that the emotions that flashed through his eyes were accepting ones happy ones.

"Is this a joke?" Spot asked, his tone wary as if he still didn't trust Racetrack enough to believe that he meant what he said. Racetrack shook his head empaticaly and Spot nodded.

"Yes." he breathed looking like Christmas had come early. I smiled and closed my locker figuring I could look for my journal tomorrow, mistake on my part, and slipped away to give the lovebirds some privacy. Jack followed me, I knew becuase of my hightened senses that had developed along with my crush but didn't let on.

"About time." I said once we were out side, Jack laughed at that a sound that seemed to start low but rise to fill every part of his body, a laugh that I wanted to recreate again.

"Yes it is." he agreed. I looked at him and asked.

"Was Racetrack insufferable like Spot was?"

"You have no idea." Jack said groaning. "He was totally flipping out when he thought you and Spot were together. I swear I wanted to soak him to get him to talk about something different."
I winced in sympathy. "Sorry, I know how you feel except with me it was Great thanks David it's all your fault now I won't have any chance with Race."

"Oh what did you say to Spot? He looked like a stone statue and then he relaxed, it was really weird."

I laughed and told Jack, who looked at me like he was seeing a new side of me.

"Can you up hold that threat?" he asked sounding awed. I blushed again and nodded, it's what's stopped Spot from getting into fights although I have to constantly come up with new threats though I think I've got plenty of leverage after seeing what Aoi is like on Mt. Dew. I was about to walk home when Jack spoke up again.

"Do you want to grab something to eat?"

Let me tell you, I nearly died from happiness right then and there.

"S-sure." i stammered and Jack gave me this brilliant smile that could power a hundred homes if harnessed, I'm serious. As we were leaving I got a text message from Aoi.

Hey where's Spot? We were supposed to to go to the Arcade together.

I smiled and quickly texted him back: Don't think he'll join you. Racetrack asked him out.

A ways away i heard Aoi yell, "About time!"

Jack and I looked at each other then burst out laughing.
"Oh man," I managed to gasp, "I'm totally having a where was Aoi before? Moment, he's brilliant."

Jack looked at me, his eyes full with an unreadable emotion.

"Do you like Aoi?" he asked and i stared at him.

"If you are implying liking him like Spot and Racetrack like eachother then NO! Anyway Aoi and Sage are like joined at the hip, and I wouldn't have the heart to break them up."

Jack smiled, reliefe evident in his eyes then asked.

"But you do have someone you like don't you?"

I froze contemplating what i should say, I wasn't about to go and tell him the truth, at least not until our presentation was done.

"Yes I do." I said finally "But it's not Spot or Aoi and before you ask who it is I won't tell you."

Jack pouted but didn't press the matter as we headed for the closest Sushi restaurant.

"How are your bruises?" he asked sounding genuinely curious that I told him.

"They are fine, as long as i don't touch them, I don't know they are there. However if who ever found me found me any later I would have been worse off."

As we sat down in a booth, Jack's expression changed to one of fear, anger and sorrow.

"I'm sorry Davey." he said softly as we perused the menu the remorse in his voice causing me to look at him startled.

"What do you mean?" I asked a feeling in my gut told me that I was about to find out my mysterious savior.

"I should have come sooner, when I heard the Delancy's were beating someone up. I should have just left not finished my pox ridden conversation."

I stared at him, then said quietly, "You got to me in time Jack, don't go beating yourself up because you weren't there earlier."

Jack looked at me, his eyes seeing something that I couldn't."

"You couldn't see your self." He whispered, "You were unconscious with those two apes whaling on you. I seriously though you were dead."

I reached my hand out and grabbed his, in an attempt to comfort him.

"I'm not dead, just bruised, it'll take more then that to keep me down for long." I told him, a waitress came and we ordered. Jack still looked sad so I tried to comfort me as much as I could, though he kept repeating what he saw. Finally after we finished eating Jack stopped apologizing for not coming earlier, a remarkable feat that made me gape at him. I thought I'd have to threaten him to make him shut up but he stopped all on his own. Blink and Mush caught up to us after that, followed by Sage, Aoi, Spot and Racetrack. The latter couple looking well kissed and in heaven, which made me smile. Spot's had a rough life, he deserves Racetrack's love. They split up because of an argument you know, freshman year. Before the argument it wasn't uncommon for Spot to split his time between Racetrack and me. They used to be best friends now i hold that position and Racetrack gets the position of boyfriend. Spot never told me what happened and I've never pried but whatever happened they are reconciled now. Our outing felt like a quadruple date, everyone being lovey-dovey around Jack and me. I just had a thought I think I know who sent me the bouqet and if I'm right the bouquet will make more sense.

-Later-

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh that presentation went extremely well. Thank Hammurabi actually the whole day went well. I'm practically giddy with happiness. i managed to calm down before the presentation so I could think, thankfully. Afterwords Jack wrapped me up in this warm hug that felt like Heaven. I can still smell his scent if I focus, gah I sound like a girl with her first crush. I wish I could still be in his arms 'cause i felt safe like nothing could harm me. *Sighs* We went out after school again today, this time to Tim Hortons and then to the library where we worked on our school work. I'm writing this while Jack is helping Les with his homework, yes you read that right, Jack's over at our house charming the rest of the family. So I'll have to be quick, I think there's something he wants to talk to me about but I'm not sure exactly about what. So I'm just scribling some of my thoughts waiting for Jack, though I don't know how long I'll be waiting Les seems really taken with Jack. '

-Later-

Is it possible for someone to die of happiness? Or embarrassment? How about both? If it was possible I would be dead right now from embarrassment and happiness. Let me see *strokes chin in an attempt to look thought full but fails miserably.* So when Jack came back after helping Les with his homework I had been writing on a piece of paper and quickly hid it under a book on my desk. Jack had this funny look on his face as he closed the door to my room, I started to protest but figured that since my parents don't know the truth that I'm gay they won't suspect anything.

"What's up?" I asked nervously as Jack dug around in his backpack, before pulling something out with a triumphant "A ha!" and handing it to me. I paled, I know I did because I was looking at my journal that I had lost.

"Where did you get that?" I demanded, bracing my self for the inevitable beating I would get, because I know that Jack would have looked through it.

"I don't know, someone put it on my desk last period yesterday." Jack said, and something told me that he was telling the truth.

"Did you read it?" I asked fear tinging my voice.

"Yes I did," he said seriously, and my stomach clenched in fear and anticipation. "I found it very interesting, put me at ease about something I heard a few days ago."

I flinched trying to come up with something to say but as I opened my mouth to say something Jack put a finger on my lips and continued. "Don't speak, do you know how long I have watched you? I thought that you hated me and for a few entries I thought you did hate me. I was so happy to finally get to work with you, I wanted to do my best to prove to you that I didn't pawn off the work on someone else, I was so glad when you admitted that. Then when you got beaten up, I decided to send you a flowers. " He took a deep breath, and my eyes widened at the realization.

"So let me ask you something, David will you go out with me?"

I did the only thing I could in the situation with Jack's lips so tantalizing close to mine, i kissed him.

"Yes." I breathed when we parted, a smile curving my lips, I felt like I could float to Pluto I was so happy. So now I'm going out with Jack Kelly and i know what the flowers mean:

Fever few- protection- Jack will protect me from harm

Gardenia-secret love- He's secretly (or not so secretly now) in love with me

Purple Hyacinth-I'm sorry-He's sorry he didn't get to me earlier

Yarrow-Health and healing.-He wants me to get better soon.

I'm happy now, and I feel like I could take down giants just to be in Jack's arms again.

David.
