An- Here's a new chapter!

Chapter 51

Jane held the sword up to her wrist. She closed her eyes, letting her tears fall on the Elven blade.

She raised the weapon a few inches, preparing to bring it down on her flesh-

"Jane!"

Her eyes snapped open. Niori's pleading voice had startled the girl out of her daze. Niori knocked on the door.

Jane looked down at her situation. A small line of blood was appearing where the cutting edge was resting against her arm.

"What the hell am I doing!"

She jumped off the bed, letting the sword fall to the marble floor with a loud clatter.

"Jane?" Niori's tone was more urgent, "Why do I hear a sword! Please come out!…Don't you dare do anything stupid in there!" Niori paused, waiting for a reply, "I'm coming back with Legolas!"

The girl didn't respond, she was staring in shock at the trickle of blood that was running down her arm. She had actually considered killing herself -because of Aragorn!

Furious with herself, Jane picked her sword up off the floor. She sat on the hard, marble floor and held the blade up close to her neck. Then, she began to violently chop off her long, golden hair.

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.

Ten minutes later, Niori and Legolas burst into the room. The elf had apparently broke the lock off on Niori's orders. Her face looked very worried, and it didn't help when she saw her friend sitting pitifully on the floor surrounded by her own hair.

"Jane!"

Jane looked horrible. Three days of no food and lack of sunlight and taken it's toll on her. Her hair was dirty (and three inches shorter), her clothes unwashed. She didn't look up when Niori and Legolas entered; she just stared at the sword in her lap.

"Uh…I'm leaving now," Legolas mumbled uncomfortably, exiting the room.

Niori nodded nonchalantly to the elf, then she sat down on the floor facing Jane (who still hadn't looked up).

"Jane…" Niori breathed sadly, fingering Jane's very unevenly hacked curls, "What on earth did you do to yourself?"

Jane continued to stare at her lap. Niori saw a small tear fall from her eye.

"Why did you cut your hair?" Niori asked again, edging closer to Jane.

Slowly, Jane looked up into Niori's eyes. "Because…" She said quietly, "I figured my hair was better than my wrists."

Niori's eyes widened in sudden disbelief. She wrapped her arms around Jane and gave her a consoling embrace.

"Here," Niori said gently, picking up Jane's sword, "let me fix this mess."

Niori began to gently fix Jane's mutilated hair; cutting it so that it was all the same length. The whole time, neither of them spoke a word.

l.l.l.l.l.l.ll.l.l

" My God Legolas," Niori whispered, sitting on the bad and placing her head in her hands, " did you see what she did to herself?"

Legolas sat down on the bed beside her, but didn't say a word.

" She almost cut her wrists…my God Legolas, it I hadn't gotten there when I did, it wouldn't have been her hair that she cut…"

Legolas wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled Niori into him.

" I know what she feels like," Niori continued, " I know how much heartbreak hurts. When Aragorn blew up at her about what happened at my party, she was totally devastated, but when he announced his wedding only hours later, it drove her over the edge…"

" Will she be ok?" Legolas whispered, tightening his hold on Niori.

" I'm not really sure," Niori spoke, looking up at him, " I think…I hope she will be…this is her first real dose of heartbreak and believe me, it's not easy to get over. The first time getting your heart broken is one of the worst experiences a teenager can have! She said she was going to go to the wedding, but…"

" She'll be ok though," Legolas spoke, " Jane's a strong woman…she'll get through this…"

" I hope you're right," Niori whispered, tears already stinging her eyes and leaning back into him and burying her head into his chest.

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l

" Why is the whole world against me?" Jane whined pitifully as she sat on her bed. Her hair was still all over the floor, and even though Niori had done a good job of fixing her destroyed hair, it still was well, terrible.

The room was still destroyed, everything that was, besides Carla's CD player and the dress Niori had brought her to wear to the wedding. She didn't know how she could go to the wedding of the man she loved…

Her eyes rested on Carla's CD player, and a evil idea came into her head.

Smiling wickedly she got off the bed and picked up the machine.

" It's show time!"

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l

" Where the hell is Jane!" Carla turned towards Erin, arms folded over her chest, " God, Niori said she'd be here! She said she just saw Jane and that she was finally out of the room! We're guests of honor, for once in our lives, she has to be here!"

" She's having a hard time dealing with all this," Erin spoke, pity in her voice, " she's in love with Aragorn, and when Niori told us that Jane would be coming, you could tell that Niori knew Jane had tried to do…something not so good,"

" Speaking of where someday is," Frodo tugged on he hem of Erin's dress to get her attention, " Where's Niori?"

" Ummm…"Erin and Carla spared a glance at each other. The last time they had seen her, was when she had told them that Jane would be coming. After that, she had quietly walked away.

" Well," Frodo continued, " both Jane and Niori better get out here soon! Aragorn would be terribly disappointed if they missed his wedding,"

With a shrug of her shoulders, Carla turned briskly away from her friends and started to walk back across the courtyard, the long hem of her long ground dragging behind her.

She figured that she better find the other two friends pretty damn soon, or the king's wedding would be down two guests of honor.

God damnit, she cursed silently to herself, Of all the stupid days for Niori to go missing and Jane to throw the three days long universal hissy fit! What in the name of God did I do to deserve all this irritation! For once, why can't those two just BEHAVE!

With a tiny growl, Carla picked up the front hem of her dress and walked faster. Getting more annoyed and frustrated with every passing step.

Seriously, for once, why can't everyone just go with the flow? I understand that Jane loves Aragorn, but she knew that he was taken from the first. She knew that this was going to happen! I mean, I understand that she was depressed at first cuz Aragorn was mad at her for that night at the party, but she knew that he was going to marry Arwen…

She walked all the way to where Legolas's room was located. She figured she should ask him first. In fact, this was another person she should tell to tell to hurry the hell up…

" Legolas!" she pounded on the door and waited, " Open up!"

She heard someone moving within the room, and then the door was opened, but not by someone who she thought would.

" Wha-" Niori, who was wrapped only in a blanket started, but her eyes widened when she realized who had knocked " Carla! Umm…"

" Oh God!" Carla spoke, turning away from Niori, " so not something I wanted to know or see!"

" Umm…" Niori tried to speak, but could only splutter, " yeah…"

" Hey Niori," Legolas came up behind her (with only a pair of pants on), eyes widening when he saw Carla, " Oh…"

" Do you realize how wrong this is!" Carla shuddered, " Anyway, I have to get out of here before I hit you both, so here's what I came to say. Hurry the hell up…the wedding starts soon! Both of you get clothes on!"

" Yeah…that would be a good idea wouldn't it?" Niori looked so embarrassed, as she closed the door.

Carla gave another shudder and walked away.

" Hurry up!" she cried back to the closed door, " you don't want to be late!"

.l.l.l.l.ll.
