Disclaimer: Neither me or Dasi own Mutant X.

This chapter was written by Aniki19(Dasi, to all of you). Thank you Dasi, you did a great job, the only thing I did was spell check and format. The rest is all her.

Rosalie: I never got an answer for sure about whether you wanted to write a chapter. I got a maybe, lol. Please let me know, it doesn't have to be long just a little something. If you have any questions, please feel free to email them to me. I tried to email you, but the address you have on , didn't work for me.

From Dasi's POV: She starts just outside Jesse's room, then ends up where she is standing on the roof. This is her POV of what happened up there. Good job girl!

Chapter 14: Dasimah

'Shal has been in the room with Jesse for fifteen whole minutes already and What is taking her so long?' Dasi thought to herself. She stole a glance at the door and then stared at the clock by the wall beside her for the umpteenth time.

While waiting for Shalimar to be done with her mothering, she had time to contemplate about her dream. She wondered whether the dream is like a premonition and 'oh God and how I wish it was.' But as much as she would like it to be true, it was really up to Jesse; 'it won't be fair if it was a one-sided affair.' Worse, she frowns and 'what if he has no feelings for me at all?'

'Stop it Dasi! Its just a stupid infatuation you have with him!' She scolded herself. Sure, we share a lot of things in common and he does have a really cute grin, but its just a stupid crush, right? And yet, why do I feel that it is so right! What is this feeling and is it love? Shaking her head, she got up and moved towards the room; determined to see Jesse before her courage leave her in the lurch.

She stopped short of entering the room and turned the door knob.

"Don't tell her Shal." she heard Jesse say.

"I won't, I don't want to hurt her." said Shal.

And just as quietly, Dasi closed the door and walked away. Tears brimming in her eyes. 'Tell me what? What will hurt me?' She quicken her steps just in case Shalimar went out of the room. She don't think she could face them. 'Not yet; I don't have the strength.'

Coming to a corner she notice a staircase leading to the roof. 'Good, I could do with some fresh air and more thinking. If nothing else I can always jump!'

On the rooftop...

Staring down at the view for miles, Dasi moved on to the ledge and sat down. Somehow, up here, the tears seems to melt away and hmm, maybe it was just the wind that calmed her. She knew that portion of conversation was not meant for her ears and for an instance, she wished she didn't hear it and 'but it's too late now, isn't it, Dasimah?'

Taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down and knew that no matter what happens and whatever the hurtful secret was, she'll let Jesse know how she feels.

She heard the roof door click and turned to see Shalimar looking worried. "Das! There you are," Shal approached her almost cautiously. "And you're not gonna do what I think you might do, are you?"

Dasi laughed. "Nah, I have too much I wanna know before I do. So hows Jesse doing? Can I go see him yet?"

"Sure and I was just gonna go call for you, but you weren't there. What are you doing up here, anyway ...its freezing" Shal shivered.

The air was getting chilly. "Just trying to get some air came the quiet reply and and to clear my head."

"Come on, Jesse's waiting" Shal reached out a hand to pull Dasi from the ledge.

Taking a deep breath and reaching for the outstretch hand, Dasi made her way to see Jesse.

OK that's all for now, still waiting for some of the chapters to come in, Gelf and Rosalie in particular, as I said before. Mari I have complete faith in you, I know you will get that chapter to me in time,lol.

Anyway, updates coming soon, after I get the chapters that are still out I will be able to get this out faster.

Melodie, Aniki, and Josh, thanks for getting your chapters to me. Have read all of them, and love them, look for them to get posted as soon as possible!
