Melanie was on her way to the office. She was freaking out. What had she done that they had to pull her out of class for?

She took a deep breath and headed down towards the hall but before she could make it to the office, she was yanked into another hallway.

"What the hell?" She shouted, jerking her arm away from whoever had grabbed her. She became quickly embarrassed when she realized it was Aidan. "What are you doing?!" She whispered.

"I need to talk to you about something." He said and she looked up at him.

"Well, it'll have to wait," She said. "I have to go to the office."

He shook his head. "Nah, that was juts me." He said with a smile and she looked at him curiously. "What? My mom's on the school board, I have connections."

She rolled her eyes and headed back to class but he followed her, stopping her.

"Where are you going?" He asked her and she looked at him.

"Back to class," She said. "You can't just pull me out of class and expect me to be okay with it, Aidan," She said. "I actually like school and want to succeed." She said but before she could walk away again, he pulled her into a kiss.

She pushed him away. "I can't do this." She whispered, looking up at him.

"But you want to." He smiled, kissing her again.


It was finally lunch and Jen was searching for Casey. She had just received a call from a distraught Jade telling her that Guy might not make it. Jade needed Casey and even though Jade had asked Jen not to tell her brother about Guy, she was going to anyway.

"Casey!" She shouted, spotting him at his locker. She ran over to him. "You have to go to the hospital."

"Why? What happened?" he asked, worriedly.

"It's Jade," She said and his eyes widened. "Well, it's her dad… he might not make it and she needs you."

He nodded, closing his locker.

"I'll come after school, okay?" She said. "Call me if anything happens though."

"Of course," he nodded. "Thanks, for telling me."

She smiled. "Just take care of her, okay?" She whispered, hugging him.

"I will." He nodded and then headed out to his car.


In London, the four teenagers were sitting at the park trying to get to know each other better. And while Andria and Rob were doing just that, they'd be talking privately the entire afternoon, Lauren was trying to get Nick's attention but he seemed to be fully concentrated on watching the couple interact.

Lauren sighed disappointedly. She wanted to get to know Nick; he was cute, smart and funny… just what she needed.

Andria separated herself from Rob and turned to her two friends. "Um, we're gonna head back home," She said, looking over at Rob and giggling. "Actually, to Rob's place, he wants to show me a new mix he made." She said and Lauren nodded. "See you later!" She smiled, catching up with Rob has they headed to his car.

"So," Lauren started. "How long have you been in love with Andria?" She asked and he finally looked at her, confused. "Oh, come on, it's totally obvious."

He sighed. "It's been like two years," He shook his head. "The first time I saw her freshmen year, I just… I knew I had to have her but, she's not into guys like me." He shrugged and Lauren nodded. "How'd you know?"

"I could see it in the way you look at her," She said and he nodded.

"Like the same way you look at Rob?" He asked, smirking and she raised an eyebrow.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" She said and he gave her a look. She sighed. "Fine, I'm in love with him, so what?" Nick laughed. "He only sees me as a friend anyway," She shrugged.

He nodded. "Well, that can change." He said and she looked up at him. "Maybe if we both go tell them how we feel we can finally get what we want?"

She looked at him. "I dunno," She shook her head. "I don't think I can just spontaneously tell Rob how I feel…"

"Why not?" He asked. "Aren't the best things done that way anyway?" He asked and she shrugged. "Come on," he said, standing up and reaching for her hand. "Let's go."

She hesitated at first but then reached for his hand as he pulled her up. They headed for Rob's apartment and quickly headed up the stairs.

"I'm really nervous," She admitted and Nick looked at her. "I've never done this type of thing before."

He smiled. "Don't worry," He whispered, taking her hand. "I'm right here." He promised and she nodded.

They quickly knocked on the door and Rob answered, shirtless, as he began re-doing his belt buckle.

"Oh!" Lauren said, covering her mouth when she saw Andria in the background, wearing nothing but Rob's t-shirt. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright," Rob nodded, laughing awkwardly. "You could come in if you'd like."

Nick looked over at Lauren and saw the hurt in her face. "No, that's okay," He said, squeezing Lauren's hand. "We have somewhere to be." He said and Rob nodded.

"I'll see you later, then, Lauren?" He asked and Lauren nodded quickly, trying to get out of there as soon as possible.

Nick took her hand let her out of the building.


Jade sat on the floor, her back against the wall, in one of the hospital hallways. She couldn't be around her family right now, she knew what could happen to her dad and she knew she should have been supporting them but she couldn't be around them, not without the one person who was able to make her feel better.

She rested her head on her knee and started to cry, thinking about what life would be like without her dad.

She heard footsteps coming towards her but she didn't look up, expecting it to be Jen.

"Jade?"

She couldn't believe it. She looked up. "Casey?"

"Oh, baby," He whispered, coming down next to her and wrapping his arms around her. She closed her eyes and buried her face in his chest, letting everything out. "It's okay, baby," He whispered, kissing her hair. "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, and neither is your dad, okay?"

"You don't know that." Jade's muffled voice said.

He sighed. "He's a fighter, where do you think you got it from?" He smiled and she looked up at him. "He's going to be okay, I promise."

She nodded and rested her head in his chest again. "I'm glad you're here," She whispered, tugging on his collar. "I needed you."

He smiled, hugging her closer. "I told you I'm here for you, always."
