"Nothing, please leave."

"Umm... alright then, I'll leave you with yourself." Lee left.

'How could he, he knows that I don't mean it.' She sobbed more.

"Now I'll never have a chance with any guys if he tells everyone." Mariah cried more and left the hospital.

~

As she walked in the house, she saw the bunch of pink roses that Lee got her.

"Oh, he got me these?" She said as she saw the puddle of 'blood'. She picked up some cloth, wiped the ground and dumped it in the rubbish bin.

'My mum died when she gave birth to me. I don't know much about being a woman because my dad raised me up. Then he died when I was 9 years old.' She recalls in her head. ((A/N: I don't even know if it's true... Well, for this story, let's just make her past miserable... *smirks* I'm so not a Mariah fan.))

~

'Oh, I can't believe I done that to Mariah. I just left even when I know she wants me to stay... What am I going to do now?'

"I know... I'm going to the Bladebreakers' to see Ray!"

Lee drove to the hotel that the Bladebreakers are staying.

'Umm, I'm here. Now what am I going to say to Ray? I cancelled the date with her? Or tell him the truth... Oh, the period business has caused me so much trouble.'

He looked up to the sky and then he ran inside to the stairs. He ran upstairs to the eighth level and knocked on the door.

~

"Oh, when is Maxi and the Chief coming back? I'm starving Ray." Tyson complained to Ray for the thousandth time. "Max and Kenny had been out to get food for at least an hour!"

"Tyson, calm down. They're coming soon. Meanwhile, what do you want to do?" Ray was starting to get bored. 'He's so cute.'

((A/N: They are not together... well, not at this point. Ray has a crush on Tyson... But Tyson thinks of Ray as a friend.))

"Umm, let's play..." Tyson thought for a second and made a move on Ray. "TICKLE TICKLE"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Tyson get off already, I can't HAHAHAHAHA breathe *cough cough*" Ray started to laugh so hard that Tyson decided to stop. He lay on his back but he felt something coming to him.

"Haha, arrrg... Ray!!!" Ray decided to pay Tyson back for tickling him. He started to tickle him. Tyson suddenly attacked back but Ray lost his balance and fell on the floor, right on top of Tyson. Ray put his hands on the floor, still straddling Tyson, pushed up. They stared at each other for a while, with silence. They blushed. Ray thought of kissing Tyson right there and then but suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Umm, Tyson, go get the umm. door... I think they're back." Ray said to Tyson, but still on top of him. 'Oh man... not again. That's the third time this week I tired to tell him that I like him, but failed.'

"Umm, I want to Ray but you ar... you're still on top of me." Tyson said shyly. 'Man, he has been acting weird lately.'

"Oh Sorry, umm... I'll go and get it then" Ray said as he got up to the door, with a tinted face.

~

Ray answered the door. 'At last Ray.'

"Oh, Hi Lee. Didn't expect to see you. How's the date?" Ray greeted Lee.

"Don't mention it. I will tell you when you invite me in." Lee laughed.

"Oh, sorry. Forgot. Here, come in" Ray said opening the door a bit bigger so Lee could go in.

"Thanks. Hi Tyson" Lee said when he saw Tyson, on the floor.

"Hi Lee. Wassup man?"

"Oh nothing much. I just came to talk to Ray about my little problem with Mariah."

"Doesn't everyone have a problem with Mariah?" Tyson said with sarcasm. Ray eyed Tyson warning him not to talk about Mariah like that when Lee's around. Tyson got the message and shutted up.

"First, what would you like to drink?" Tyson said.

"Don't worry. I just had a drink." Lee said to Tyson. Turning his head to Ray, he said seriously, "Let's go to your room to discuss my problem."

~

'Hmm, I wonder what's the problem.' Tyson wondered.

As Ray and Lee enter Ray and Tyson's room, Tyson put his ear to the door, trying to listen to what they are saying.

"Well, I was getting readied to go to Mariah's place today. When I got there, she was lying on the floor, covered in blood. I called the ambulance and went to the hospital. Then the doctor told me it was only her period. When I got in her room, she seems to know about it. And now, every time I see her, all I could remember is the blood and the terrible smell."

Tyson's mouth dropped wide opened. 'Oh my god.'

~

She went in her room to change her undies and stuffed some tissues so the blood wont leak out. She took her wallet and went to the chemist.

'Should I get it? If anyone saw it, I'll be so humiliated.' She picked up the little box without looking and went to the empty counter.

"Umm, little girls aren't allowed to buy these sorta things." The woman said.

"How come? I got my 'p' already ok?" She sort of shouted and everyone turned to look at her. She blushed hard.

"Your what? You got a packet of condoms and you are trying to make excuses right?" Mariah looked at the packet that she took to the counter. It says 'Condoms'. She was so embarrassed. She felt someone tapping on the right shoulder. She turned around and saw Max and Kenny standing there.

~

"Your what? You got a packet of condoms and you are trying to make excuses right?" Max and Kenny heard the counter lady said to Mariah. They walked towards her. Max tapped on her shoulder.

"Hi Mariah. Why are you getting cons? How's your date?" Max blurted.

"Umm, I'm sorry, I got the wrong packet." Mariah said to the counter lady and walked out with Max. Kenny followed, trying not to participate in the conversation.

"So Mariah... What's wrong?" Max said changing expressions as he saw the look on Mariah's face. It was rather, depressed than embarrassed.

"Oh nothing Max." Mariah said as she ran fast to her house.

"Weird, don't you think Chief?" Max said as he turned around.

"Yea, weird. Umm Max, I think Tyson is really mad. We're out for almost two hours. Let's get back before we it gets dark."

"Right..." Max said, still thinking what Mariah has been up to.

~

"So I guess it was her first time having her period, so that's why she fainted. She's really scared of blood remember? Once, when we were little kids, we were playing, and I accidentally fell and cut my knees. It bled and she fainted at the sight of blood." Tyson heard Ray said to Lee, still inside the bedroom.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Tyson answered it. Max and Chief went in. Lee and Ray came out of the room, just finished talking Lee's matters.

"I saw Mariah in the Chemist today. She was trying to buy condomsmphhh..." Kenny tried to cover Max's mouth in time but failed because Max finished saying the word, 'condoms'.

"She wasn't, she was just trying to get herself some pads." Tyson blurted out.

"Tyson... how did you know?" Ray asked.

"I have my ways..." Tyson said, trying not to sound so suspicious.

"Oh well, I guess I just have to tell them." Lee said signing.

So Lee told the rest of the team (Except Kai) about Mariah.

~

'Oh, embarrassed two times in a day...' Mariah walked in her house. 'This is soooo not my day.'

She picked up her phone to call her most trusted friend. She dialed the number.

'Well, I guess I can tell her, she's my bestest friend after all.'

*Ring Ring*

"Hello?" A familiar voice on the other side of the phone. Mariah analyzed it and realized it was Judy's voice. Talking about Judy, Mariah suddenly remembered Max and what happened in the Chemist.

"Hello? This is Judy speaking."

"Oh, sorry Judy. This is Mariah. I'm looking for Emily."

"Oh hi Mariah. What's up?" Judy said. "Can you hang on for a sec while I transfer the call to Emily's room?"

"Ok, thanks."

A minute later, Emily's voice was on the other side of the phone. "Hey Mariah..."

"Hey Em. I have a problem..."
