Chapter: Pieces of me

A/N: This chapter is dedicated to a special friend. I was her "big sis" at school this year and she will always remain my "lil sis." Katherin this one is for you!

"Did you bring it?" Natalie whispered to Amanda.

"Yup." She handed her a thin green bottle.

"Now we need to find a way for him to take this while Jae is around."

"That is a tough one."

"Amanda, can you get me into the Slytherin common room? I have an idea."

"Yeah sure. Would you mind discussing this great plan of yours?"

"Not now, maybe later."

Amanda and Natalie walked further down the hallway.

"Look!" Nat pointed down the corridor.

"Is that..." Amanda whispered.

Natalie nodded.

Jaden and Katherin were making out behind a large statue.

"She's a second year Slytherin." Amanda said as Natalie and her hid to watch.

"I guess he likes them young."

Amanda laughed silently.

"We should get to the Slytherin common room soon so we could beat him and get the plan ready."

Amanda nodded.

They quietly ran off making sure Jaden did not see them.

"Are you sure your plan will work?"

"No. But its worth a try."

Amanda led Natalie down to the entrance to the Slytherin common room. "Willow."

Jae sat in front of the fire filing her nails. "What are you doing in the Slytherin common room Potter?" She glared at Natalie.

"To talk to you."

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Then we will talk to Jaden."

"No you will not!" Jae stood up. "You will not go anywhere near him!" She pointed her nail file at her.

"A little overprotective are we." Natalie folded her arms.

"That's it, I am getting Snape!" She turned away.

"Calm down Jae. We don't want to take Jaden from you." Amanda put her hand on Jae's shoulder.

Jae threw her hand off her shoulder. "Then why do you want to talk to him?"

"To prove to you that we are speaking the truth. He kissed us. He is kissing Katherin right now. We just saw them."

"Jaden is teaching a 2nd year the tricks of Quidditch." She sighed at the thought. "He is such a great guy."

"No, no he isn't. He has been lying to you the whole time. We brought something which will make him speak the truth."

Jae folded her arms. "I don't see why you are so determined to prove him wrong when it gets you no where."

They ignored her and Natalie nudged Amanda. Amanda then pulled out a bottle of truth serum out.

"You are going to drug him!"

"No, it's truth serum." Natalie sat down.

"He will black out for a few minutes and will only be able to tell the truth." Amanda turned the bottle in her hand.

Jae looked disapprovingly at them.

Jaden's voice was heard on the other side of the entrance. Kathrin and Jaden walked in and stopped talking when they saw themselves being watched.

"Just remember what I taught you and I will meet up with you same time tomorrow for you next practice."

Katherin giggled and nodded before walking away.

"So are you having a party or something without me?" Jaden smirked.

"No we were waiting for you. We need to talk to you." Natalie motioned for him to sit down.

Jaden kissed Jae on the forehead and sat down next to her. Jae glared at Natlie.

"Jae, you don't have to stay. But if you want to know the truth, then stay." Nat knew Jae couldn't resist. If she knew anything about Jae, it was that she was always curious.

"You may pounce him if I leave."

"We don't want Jaden!" Natalie and Amanda said in unison.

"And if they try to pull something again I will fight them off because you are the only one for me."

Amanda and Natalie both coughed.

Jae glared at them. "I believe you Jaden."

She grabbed the arm of Natalie and pulled her toward her. "Are you sure this works?"

"Positive."

Jae looked at the floor.

"If you want him to prove to us that you are truly in love then have him drink this. Have you ever had any suspicions about him?"

"Well.."

"This is the time to learn the truth."

She looked into Natalie's eyes. "Ok, give it."

Natalie put her bottle into Jae's hand. Jae looked at it as Natalie walked back to her seat.

"Hey baby. Can you drink this for me?" Jae batted her eyes.

"What is it?" He watched the liquid in the green bottle.

"Just drink it. You would drink it if you loved me."

Jaden smiled and took the bottle from her. He smelled it before drinking it.

"Did you finish it?" Jae asked.

"Nope." Jaden still had half the bottle left.

"Can you hurry up and finish." Jae smirked. He nodded and swallowed the rest.

"I'll start." Natlie stood in front of him. "Where you really teaching Katherin Quidditch skills?"

"No. I was giving her advice on guys."

Amanda stood next to her. "Did you kiss her?"

"Yeah…but I told her it was to help her practice for when she goes out on a date."

Natalie rolled her eyes. "So you did it even though you already had a girlfriend."

"Yeah, I knew Jae wouldn't mind since I had no feelings for the girl. We were just practicing."

"Any questions Jae?" Natalie looked at Jae. That last comment should have bugged her.

"Do you love me Jaden?"

"Of course I do."

Jae smiled.

"Do you only love her?" Natalie smirked at him.

Jaden paused. "No."

Jae's smile faded.

"Do you kiss other girls that Jae doesn't know about?"

"Yes."

"That's enough. He doesn't have to answer any more questions."

"Did you kiss me and Amanda against our will?" Natalie jumped out of her seat.

"Yes." He laughed.

"Enough. Now I don't believe it. Get out of here." Jae pushed Natalie out of the common room.

I hope that put some thoughts into her head.

Van waved to her.

"Hey Van."

He kissed her quickly. "You know the ball is coming up, are you ready to reveal our relationship?"

Natalie smiled. "Yeah. I think I am now."

Van smiled.

Natalie kissed him. She blushed and then smiled.

Natalie: On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Natalie grabs his hand and they walked toward their dorm together.

Natalie: Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels

Natalie smiled widely at Van.

Natalie: Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

Natalie sat on the edge of the staircase. She dangled her legs over the side.

Natalie: I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's your mission
And you won't stop til I'm there

Van picked her up and spun her around.

Natalie: Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

Natalie put her head on his shoulder as they hugged.

Natalie: How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

Natalie goes back to just holding his hand.

Natalie: On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell

Natalie kissed him on the cheek outside the portrait hole.

Natalie: Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

A/n: I know I have not been updating this story in awhile. The reason was because I lost faith in it. I felt no one was reading it so I thought, why bother spending more time and energy on it. But I received a few emails from readers who want to see it to the end. So I decided to bring it back for them. This is also dedicated to you guys!
