Jazz's P.O.V

Chapter 11:

I woke up before Jack and Jamie that morning. That was the most comfortable sleep I had had for so long. I lay in bed for a few minutes just thinking about the last few days. Unbelievable. Then I sat up and looked at Jack, still asleep and snoring slightly. I looked at Jamie and jumped when I saw that his eyes were opened and looking at me. He chuckled quietly, so as not to wake Jack up.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" he asked quietly.

I blushed and nodded. My heart was pounding. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile too. Then my stomach rumbled and broke the silence. We both laughed quietly.

"We could get up and go get some breakfast if you want." Jamie said getting up and looking at Jack, "Jack knows his way to the kitchen." He said.

I nodded, Jack did know by now and I didn't want to wait here for ages for him to wake up.

"Umm…I'll wait outside for you to get changed." Jamie said looking down as he got up and walked out.

When I was dressed I stepped out the door and held the curtain open for Jamie to go in and change, he smiled at me in thanks and I smiled back. When he came back out he smiled at me and started walking. I tried to keep up with him but he had long legs and my short ones made me do a small jog to keep up. He looked at me trying to keep up with him and slowed down so I didn't have to jog anymore.

"Sorry, you and Wanda are so similar." He said smiling at me.

"I'll take that as a complement." I said quietly. He laughed and I blushed.

We got to the kitchen a few minutes later and two women were at the bench cooking what smelled like bacon and eggs. They looked up when we came in and one of them smiled, but the other gave a sort of half smile, like she was trying but found it hard to do.

"Hey Jamie, your up early." The older woman said.

"Yea, Trudy, Lily, this is Jasmine, Jazz, this is Trudy and Lily." Jamie said introducing me to the older woman, Trudy and the sad looking woman, Lily.

"Hello Jazz, you must be Jack's sister." Trudy said smiling kindly at me.

"Hello, yea I'm Jack sister." I answered, I'd never thought of the fact that I'd have to get to know all the other people who live in the caves as well.

"Would you guys like some breakfast?" Lily asked, attempting a smile again.

"Yea please Lily, we are both starving." Jamie said walking over to the bench and grabbing two plates, handing one to me.

"What would you like Jamie?" Trudy asked.

"I'll have some of everything thanks." Jamie said holding his plate out for Trudy to put a bit of everything on his plate.

"What would you like Jazz?" Lily asked me.

"I'll have some of everything as well please." I answered her holding my plate out as she put some of everything on it. I smiled at her and she gave me an almost smile back.

"Welcome to the caves by the way." Lily said nearly smiling at me.

"Thanks, its good to have a home again." I answered feeling more comfortable. Lily and Trudy seemed nice.

We walked over to the table we sat at yesterday just as some other people came in, I didn't know who they were. They walked over to the bench and started talking to Lily and Trudy. I turned back around to my food and took a bite of some bacon. It was delicious. I sighed; I hadn't had food like this in so long.

Jamie looked at me and laughed. "Like it?"

I looked at him and nodded, I couldn't answer because I had already taken another bite of bacon and shoved it in my mouth, my cheeks bulging with food. He Jamie laughed and when I managed to swallow all my food I laughed as well. When we had finished laughing we both ate some more of the food that was on our plates.

"You two are up early." I heard the voice of Melanie from behind me and turned around to see that Mel, Jared, Ian, Wanda and Jack were walking over to our table each with a plate of food in their hands.

"Jack's snoring woke us both up and we couldn't stand it anymore so we escaped before the caved collapsed." I said as they all sat down.

Everyone laughed, even Jack. "Just so you know everyone, I don't snore and if I do at least I don't talk in my sleep Jazz." Jack accused.

He was right, I was a horrible sleep talker, well that's what my family had said before they were taken and when we were on the run Jack used to joke that the seekers would catch us because of my sleep talking. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"At least the noises I make when I'm asleep are part of the English language." I said to him.

"Snoring is a language." Jack said back.

"Yea, when cave people were alive." I answered and everyone laughed. I blushed and looked down. We were living in caves.

"It's okay Jazz, your not the only one who has tried to use a joke and have it backfire because we all live in caves." Jamie patted my back.

"Yea, it took me months to figure out some new jokes to use on Kyle after the caveman one was no use." Ian laughed and then so did the rest of us.

"What are you laughing about?" Kyle asked coming over with Sunny close behind him.

"You." Ian answered simply. We all laughed as Kyle and Sunny sat down.

Kyle gave Ian a suspicious look, then the rest of us. I tried not to burst out laughing. Then Kyle shrugged and started shovelling food into his mouth, I heard Jamie laugh and turn it into a cough and I had to bite down on my lip to stop from laughing. I glanced at Jamie and he glanced at me. Bad idea. We both burst out laughing. As soon as we started, so did everyone else, leaving Kyle and Sunny with confused looks on their faces.

"What are you lot laughing at this time?" Jeb asked coming over.

"Kyle" Jared answered and shovelled another bit of food into his mouth.

"Of course." Jeb grinned. "Well I just came over to remind Jamie and Jazz that they have class today."

Jamie groaned and got up from the table having finished his food. I got up too and followed him over to the bench with my empty plate. Trudy held her hand out for it and I handed it to her smiling, she smiled back.

Jamie and I walked back to the table as everyone else got up.

"We'd better get off to work as well." Mel said taking Jared's hand.

"We'll see you guys later." Kyle said hugging Sunny and walking out behind Jeb's disappearing back.

"Have fun at class guys." Mel said grinning at Jamie and I.

"We will" Jamie rolled his eyes at his sister.

Mel, Jared, Ian and Wanda laughed and Jack just looked confused, the look on Jack's face probably matched mine.

"I'll explain it later to you Jack, Jazz, you'll have to learn the hard way." Jared said.

No I was really confused. "Umm…Okay" I said. Mel waved goodbye and pulled Jared out the door. Ian squeezed Wanda's hand and whispered something in her ear. She looked up at him blushing. I looked at Jack.

"Are you going or not?" I joked giving him a play push towards the door.

"Fine, I'll go. Jeez Jazz I can't believe you're excited to go to school." He answered with his own small shove. He waved and walked out the door with Ian following behind him.

Wanda walked up to me smiling, "Sharon, isn't that bad you know. Don't believe them." She said.

"You know she is that bad Wanda, you just can't say it." Jamie laughed.

Wanda smiled, blushing, "You'd better get going, you don't want to be late."

"Yea, we really don't do we?" Jamie smiled "See ya later Wanda." Jamie waved.

"Bye Wanda" I smiled at her.

"See you at lunch" Wanda waved at us as we walked out the door.
