Hey guys, I'm back with the fourth chapter. So this is gonna sound odd but for those who have read all previous chapters… please re-read them. I changed some things and if you don't read those then this will only give confusion. I had multiple versions of each chapter but then I posted the wrong edits. I'm very sorry. Anyway... enjoy! Smut free (I'll get there soon for those waiting) This chapter starts on a Wednesday morning.

Jay awoke the next morning covered in sweat with a pounding headache. He sat straight up panting as his eyes went wide from shock. Jay's nightmare put him in the place of Carlos, he felt what it felt like to be beaten. Jay didn't know why this happened, but ever since the night that he saved Carlos from Gil and Harry when Carlos got severely injured, like breaking an his arm and getting whipped and beaten by Cruella… he would get these terrifying nightmares. Jay felt inside like a bruised tomato, but on the outside he couldn't feel a thing from what happened. Jay lifted his arms and looked at them… nothing. He burst out of bed and ran to the bathroom looking close in the mirror. Nothing wrong on his face. He walked back out and sat on his bed lying atop the covers, he laid back. He rubbed his forehead.

"Oh god… ah my head" Just as he said that Evie broke through the door.

"Jay I've been trying to reach you all morning..." She walked in a bit and then saw Jay rubbing his head. She stopped walking and jumped, she thought to see him out of bed rushing around… not in his bed looking like he just woke up, considering only wearing boxers as well. Evie blushed big as she realized she was staring. His toned muscular body made her heat up inside. "Jay!" she said out of shock.

"Oh god, don't have to scream at me Evie…" Jay said putting his hands behind his head, leaving his chest exposed. "Why are you here?"

"Jay… it's almost 8. Mal, Doug, and Ben showed up for breakfast on time and when you didn't show all through I got worried." She walked over and sat on the edge of his bed. "Are you okay?" Evie held one of his muscular arms.

"It's almost 8?" Jay looked at her. Evie frowned.

"Yes… 7:54 now." Evie responded. She saw Jay in a pool of sweat, she stood up immediately. "Jay? Are you okay?" Jay took deep breaths.

"Fine, I'm fine" Jay sat up and stood off the bed. "Uh, you get to class… tell Fairy Godmother that I overslept."

"You don't even want breakfast?" Evie asked. Jay looked at her.

"I don't want anything but updates on Carlos right now…" He walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Alright Jay.. see you at school" Evie turned around and walked out the dorm door. She frowned, she knew Jay couldn't stop thinking about Carlos.

Jay did his business in the bathroom, going pee, brushing teeth, fixing hair. He walked out drying off with a now sweat soaked towel. The time read 8:08. He got dressed fast and threw on his leather jacket. Grabbing his bag he headed out the door and sprinted to remedial goodness class. It hit 8:23 when he arrived. He strode in seeing Mal and Evie sitting and listening to Fairy Godmother teach.

'Sorry I'm late Fairy Godmother…" Jay said as he jumped into his seat.

"Evie told me Jay, you are fine for today…" Fairy Godmother turned around and continued teaching. Jay shared a nod with Evie as they began the day. Mostly Jay kept his head down and held a frown.

At lunchtime Mal and Ben sat first at the table like usual. Evie followed them and then Doug. Jay joined them last. He held a blank face as he looked down into his hands the whole time. Mal and Ben talked as Evie stared at Jay. Doug watched both of them. After awhile Evie spoke up.

"Are we just going to sit here hungry or are we going to get food?" Evie stood up and looked at Jay. Jay looked up with a blank face.

"I could use some food…." Evie smiled at that.

"Great! Let's get some then." She got out of the seat and grabbed Doug's shoulder, then pulled him over to Jay to grab his shoulder. Jay got up with a sigh and walked with them. Evie let both of the guys go as she grabbed her food, salad and water. Ben and Mal followed behind them grabbing sandwiches. Jay grabbed a piece of pizza and soda, then made his way to the desserts. He grabbed 2 cupcakes and cookies. They all went back and sat down. Ben and Mal ignored the rest of them mostly as Doug talked to Evie about science. Jay listened to the convo.

"So have you studied the periodic table yet?"

"No, well not all of it.. But I can wing it" Evie replied joyfully. "How about you Jay? Science test?"

"Uhh, kinda.. Kinda not" He blankly replied. "I'm not in any mood to talk."

"Jay I know Carlos is injured but we can't keep being held down by it…" Evie said.

"I know but… it's hard for me…" Jay looked at Evie frowning. "At Tourney i'll have my head in the game" Jay said. He knew that Carlos would want him to play well there. That boosted spirits for him.

"That's the spirit Jay! And don't worry, you will see Carlos on Friday…" Evie had nothing else to say.

"Jay it'll be okay" Doug chimed in. "And we'll get Chad back for what he did." He patted Jay's back.

"Thanks… I'm sorry for being so rude but imma go prepare for math" Jay stood up and threw his food away… he didn't finish much so he gave the dessert to Doug. He walked off leaving the rest to wonder how he will be in the near future.

"Don't worry Doug… everything will be okay" Evie said as she watched Jay walk off. She had something in store for him to keep his mind off things… and Jay had no idea….

Sorry guys it was soooo short but I gave myself a deadline and failed it XD. I'll write more soon. Don't forget… read the previous chapters if you haven't already! Until then, sorry again and baiai.
