Summary: Atlanta's wounds are healing a little faster and she is getting alot better. But did she heal enough at the bad time?

A/A/J


xxx...Everything I Am, Everything I Need Lies In You...xxx

She failed. They all... failed.

Atlanta's eyes unexpectedly shot open. Her vision was fuzzy and the darkness seemed weird to her. She's able to see, but she still can't move. Let's see if she can talk.

She opened her mouth to see if anything would come out. Nothing came out. Just a couple rough coughs.

Just like Atlanta's, Archie's eyes jumped opened and he sat up straight faster than you can say "supercalafragalisticexpialadocious" (a/n: I don't care if I spelled it wrong). "Atlanta? Are you awake?" Archie whispered. 'I could've sworn I heard coughs.'

Atlanta, hearing the sound of Archie's voice, opened her mouth to say something. "Archie?" She groaned, her voice harshly rough. "Ya. 'M awake." She coughed.

Archie thought he we faint. He ran out of his bed and gave Atlanta the biggest hug ever. Avoiding her wound. "Atlanta don't scare me like that. I thought you weren't going to make it."

Atlanta roughly smiled and said. "You should know me better than that Arch. I wouldn't give up so easily like that on you now would I?"

Archie chuckled. "I know." He was waiting for Atlanta to hug him back, but then remembered that she couldn't move. "Want me to go get Chiron?"

Atlanta shook her head. "No. I don't want to be swarmed with attention. Not in this condition. And plus his continuous chatter would drive me nuts it'd probably kill me."

Archie chuckled and kissed her cheek. He knew she couldn't move just yet, but he wanted to check anyways. "Can you move at all?"

"No not yet. But I wish I did so I can hunt Damian down and give him something he won't soon forget."

Archie laughed. "That's my girl." He hugged her tighter and rested his head atop of hers. "Promise me you'll come to me first whenever something like this happens again, okay? Or at least try to."

"Okay. I promise. I'll try."


Weeks have just flown by and Atlanta has made a miraculous recovery. She can finally move and she's never been happier. But boy did she have some catching up to do in school. The homework would probably take twice as long as her recovery weeks. And she still had to do her daily homework. But she didn't care at all. She was just happy to be up and running again. If she ever saw that Damian again, he was gonna get it and get it good. Courtesy of Archie.

"Atlanta! Wait up!" A voice yelled behind her.

Atlanta stopped and turned around. Only to meet Jay. "Hey Jay."

"Hey Lan. Feeling better?"

"Much. Chiron still can't understand how I healed so quickly. I don't either. But I'm just happy to be kicking butt in gym again." Atlanta smiled.

Jay laughed. "Ya. You always did beat us in track and everything else. Even though Archie did hold a strong second place."

"Ya. He's pretty much my only competetor because you're too scared to stand up to me and at least challenge me in a race."

Jay scoffed. "No way. You'd be kicking mountains of dirt in my face the first five seconds we start."

Atlanta laughed as well. "Ya probably."

"Oh, so someone's boasting now is she?"

"Ha! Maybe. Come on, let's grab a good seat before they're all gone. I can't wait to eat normal food again."

"It must suck taking medicine and pills for three weeks."

"You have no idea. Now let's go!" She smiled as she grabbed Jay's hand and running towards the cafeteria, making Jay blush and smile.

This may sound weird, but Jay was hoping that Atlanta would trip. If she tripped, Jay could catch her around her waist and she would wrap her arms around his neck. Oh yes. Jay's dream moment with Atlanta.

Surprisingly, Atlanta slipped on the wet floors and before she would fall flat on her face, Jay grabbed her waist, causing Atlanta to wrap her arms around his neck.

Careful what you wish for Jay.

"Hey Atlanta, I was hoping we could get a-" Archie face froze as he saw the position Jay and Atlanta were in.

Ugh oh.

Jay and Atlanta looked at each other and quickly let go of each other, having looks of shame on their faces. Jay's face redder than Atlanta's. 'Please don't take it wrongly Archie. Please don't-' Atlanta wished.

Archie's face was full of anger, sadness and disappointment. He quickly ran away before anyone could say anything.

"Oh no." Atlanta whispered to herself. "Archie wait!" She yelled.

"Don't even Atlanta!" Archie yelled back, stomping to the cafeteria.

Atlanta was going to run after him, but decided not to. 'I hope he realizes I would never cheat on him.' She thought. Atlanta hung her head low and dragged herself inside the cafeteria as well, Jay following closely behind her. She grabbed a tray and noticed they were serving her favourites again. But she didn't care. Her mind was attached to the thought of Archie leaving her because he thought the untruth. But at least the good food would chear her up a little bit.


An evil smile was glued on her face as she looked around her environment, watching to see if anyone was there. Seeing that there wasn't, she grabbed a small bottle with some sort of dark blue liquid in it. She snuck it in her pocket and creeped out of the room. She crept back to the cafeteria and noticed that Atlanta was picking at her food, while Jay was watching her with concern. Her evil smile grew wider as she walked toward the two.

"Hey guys. Jay, can I talk to you for a second?" She smiled.

Atlanta had a look of alarm. This girl can't be trusted. She grabbed Jay's shirt and whispered to him, "Watch it. This one's big trouble."

Jay kept that in mind but followed her anyways. He was led outside the cafeteria where no one else was. He was facing Lindsey, the one girl in the school Atlanta couldn't stand. "What do you want Lindsey?" Jay said, annoyance mixed in his voice.

"I just bought this new drink and I wanted you to taste it for me. To make sure that it's good." She smiled.

Jay had a weird look on his face. "Why would you want me to taste it for you. Can't you make one of your friends do it? Seriously. Out of all the people you chose me."

"Yep. Now could you please?" She held up the bottle with the blue liquid. "I think it's some sort of juice but I'm not sure."

Atlanta's warning echoed in his head. "No thanks. Make someone else do it." Jay turned around but Lindsey grabbed his hand.

"Please? I can't find anyone else to taste it first for me." She pouted the pout that no boy, and literally, no boy could resist.

Jay tried to look away but he couldn't resist those big glittering eyes. "Fine." He said.

He grabbed the bottle from her hand and popped the cork off. It started to fizz a little bit. Jay had a disgusted look on his face. He turned to Lindsey.

"Must be sparkling juice." She shrugged her shoulders.

Jay shrugged his shoulders as well and just decided to take a few sips. He let the taste settle in his mouth and before he knew it, he ended up drinking the whole thing. The next thing he realized, the hallway started spinning and his eyes became cloudy. He rubbed his stuffy eyes and shook his head.

Lindsey smiled wickedly. "Now. This is what I need you to do." She laughed.


Once lunch was over everyone walked out of the cafeteria like a herd of hyenas. Jay was leaning against the wall and once he saw Atlanta walk by, he grabbed her arm. "Can I talk to you for a second." He said, waiting for the perfect moment to say it. And sure enough, Archie had just walked out as well.

"Sure." Atlanta smiled.

Archie, getting a little suspicious, stealthly followed them. They didn't go far. Just to an empty hallway.

Jay checked his surroundings to make sure Archie wasn't there. "I have to be honest with you Atlanta."

Atlanta cocked her head in confusion. "About what?"

"It's about Archie."

Hearing his name, Archie slowly and quietly peered his head around the corner and came into a good hearing position.

"What about Archie?"

"He..." Jay sighed. "He doesn't really love you Atlanta. He's been using you to make another girl jealous and I heard him told some other boys that he treats girls just like Damian does. He uses them and then just dumps them and goes and finds another girl and does the same thing. He has no feelings for you whatsoever Atlanta. He's just bored and uses girls as a hobby. He doesn't have a life and he thinks that having you as his girlfriend will give him more attention." He paused. "So you see, he doesn't love you at all. He's just using you to gain popularity and making sure that he has something to do with his life."

Atlanta could almost cry. "You're lyeing! Archie would never do that! I think I know him alot better than you Jay." She yelled.

"I'm dead serious Atlanta. He hates you. He just wants attention and the only way he can get it is if he has a girlfriend. So he just chose any old girl to give him that power. And seeing as you're one of the most popular girls in school, he chose you."

"That's a lie!! I know Archie! He would never do anything like that! He loves me! And I know it! Stop saying that! Why are you lyeing?!"

"Would I ever lie to you Atlanta?" Jay asked.

Atlanta paused and didn't say anything. It's true. Jay would never lie to her, but something seemed different about Jay right now. Atlanta felt like she was going to cry, but she didn't. "But... Archie would never-"

"Believe me Atlanta. He has no feelings for you whatsoever." Jay said, walking closer to her. "But me.." Jay started, shoving Atlanta into the lockers with his hands holding down her hands. "I love you like anything else I could ever lay eyes on. I would never do anything like that to you Atlanta. I love you so much."

Before Atlanta could say anything about this, Jay quickly hugged her lips in a tender kiss. He let go and started kissing her cheek and down to her neck.

"Jay stop!" Atlanta yelled, trying to get Jay off of her.

Jay ignored her and started suckled her tender flesh on her neck.

"I'm serious Jay, cut it out!" Atlanta said. It was no use. Jay's grip was too much for her to break free.

But Atlanta didn't have to do anything to get away from his grasp. Coming just in the nick of time was Archie, swinging a punch at Jay's face.

"What is wrong with you Jay?!" Archie yelled. "Why can't you just accept the fact that Atlantas mine!" Archie yelled, but then he looked at Atlanta. "Or at least was mine." And with that, he ran off. He ran away somewhere where no one could find him, a place where he could be himself.

Atlanta stood there. This time she wasn't afraid to cry. Her tears streaming her face as her back was pushed against the lockers and she slowly slid down to the floor. She pulled her knees up against her and cried in her hands but then cried in her pants. 'It can't be. After all we've been through Jay just decides to kiss me and make Archie break up with me! Some friend he is.' She thought. She sobbed in her pants and hugged her legs tighter.

Around the corner was Lindsey, a look of pride on her face. "Perfect. Even better than what I planned. Good work Jay. Good work."
