Thanks to you all dudes for the reviews! They mean so much 4 me! (sorry I couldn't update in awhile……my family and I had to go to my grandma's funeral that was across the globe from where I live…….sorry again for not updating sooner!) oh yeah, and Jesse was totally amazing at the concert! (he always is!) OMG OMG OMG OMG HE WINKED AT ME AND TOUCHED MY WRISTBAND! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! (okay……calming down………..as always, enjoy and review!)

Rrrrrrrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg!

Bradin slammed his fist against his alarm clock, swearing angrily. He just laid there, staring up at the ceiling blankly, trying to close his eyes and fall asleep again. Of course, it didn't work, like it always never does ever morning. He got up reluctantly, rubbing his eyes as the bright California sunlight poured over them. He looked over at his alarm clock. Oh shit, it's only 7:00 in the morning! "Whatever, as if I can even sleep again….." He mumbled as he got himself to take a cold shower, which definitely woke him up, dressed for the day, and ran down the stairs to eat breakfast. Obviously, nobody was awake yet, so he fortunately had some time to think to himself.

So……….what am I going to do now? Can't go surfing, since it's too early and Jay would literally beat me up if I did. Can't go play some baseball or stuff with Derrick because, well, he's asleep. Then a thought passed his mind that he pretty much didn't want to think about. How about if I go over to Jasmine's house to go hang out?

Why would you hang out with her after what happened between both of you yesterday? His conscience yelled inside his head.

It's only going to be a little while………

She can still be freaked out!

You can talk to her about this and can still be only good friends……….

Why would want you want to be just friends when you want her so badly!

"Wait a minute, why am I talking to myself? I can just go over to her house and pretty much just start talking as if yesterday was nothing! If I can find her house though……" Bradin got up and walked through the front door, and of course making sure to leave a note for his aunt Ava on where he was going.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Whew, I finally found the house!" Bradin exclaimed excitedly, staring up at the large home. "I sure do hope she's awake though………" He walked up the wide white steps and was going to press on the doorbell, but he soon saw the door was slightly open. Wonder why it's just open like that……….maybe I can go in anyway? Maybe she won't mind……

He stepped inside as he closed the door firmly shut, quietly running up the long, curvy staircase to the third floor, panting tiredly as he ascended higher and higher. Wow, this house is extremely quiet………wonder where's her room? He walked around the long and endless maze of hallways, until he heard a noise, which was coming from a gold painted door. Wait a minute, isn't this the door Jasmine showed to me two days ago when she toured me around? He stared at it for a moment, wondering what might be behind it. She said it held a secret, what could it be? Bradin could feel his heart pounding madly in his chest. He soon heard a voice behind the door, which made his curiosity starting to peak.

Come on, just open the door! He walked slowly closer to it, and gave it a gentle push to open it slightly open. His mouth gaped open at what he saw…………..

(A/N: If I stopped here it would've been a pretty good cliffhanger, but I HATE cliffies as everybody pretty much here does too, and the chapter would've been too short anyway. SORRY had to interrupt…..onward with the chapter! )

……….there was Jasmine, sitting on a chair and playing on a keyboard, singing softly to some lyrics into a small microphone. It didn't exactly shock him on what she was doing, but at how her voice sounded was what it was. Wow, her voice sounds……….angelic. Even though she was singing softly, her voice still sounded clear. Her fingers pressed expertly on the keyboard's keys, and it looked as if they were gliding over them instead. Her eyes were tightly closed shut, which amazed him. Bradin tiptoed into the room, closing the door lightly behind him as he sat down on the carpet next to her. He listened closely to what she was singing.

Used to see in black and white
Never really in between

Waiting for the love of my life
to come into my dreams

Everything in shades of gray
Never really blues or greens
Needed someone else to turn to
someone who could help me learn to see
All the beauty that was waiting for me

You…..you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
The silver lining in my prayers
and now, theres colour everywhere

You put the red back in the rule
just when I needed it the most

You came along to show you care
And now, theres colour everywhere

Jasmine suddenly stopped playing, and screamed out loud, "Wow, I finally got it! I've been practicing so long and I finally got the song right!" "You're a really great singer." Bradin couldn't help but blurt out, and he definitely knew he wasn't supposed to be there anyways. Jasmine whirled around, and turned as white as a sheet. "Bradin! Wha-what are you doing h-here?" She looked scared and mad at the same time, which stunned him a bit.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to be here. But the door was open, and I wanted to see and give you a visit." He answered sincerely, giving her a worried look. She soon looked more relaxed, and smiled tensely back. "It's alright." "But you're a really good singer, I swear I'm not lying! Why do you look so scared and tense when I came in? Why are you singing and telling me it's a secret?" She chuckled, and sat down on the white carpet next to him. "I've always liked singing since I was 4 years old. My mom said I kept on singing kid songs every day when I was that young. I've always kept it a secret, though. The group and my parents are the only ones who actually know."

Bradin stared blankly at her. "Didn't Rebecca tell me that you were popular in Florida, and yet you never told anyone? Why would you want to keep it a secret? You're amazing." She turned a light tinge of red, and looked down. "I never wanted to tell anybody else, except people I truly know. I've always been scared of people saying horrible stuff about me singing. Like I never was meant to do it, and that singing was stupid, especially for me." Bradin thought for a moment, starting to understand what she meant. "Oh……..but I really meant what I said, you're amazing." She blushed again, and started to play around with her hair. "I like that song you sung. It's really nice. Do you write any songs of your own?"

Jasmine smiled and stared into his beautiful, olive green eyes. "Thanks. I do write songs of my own, but I think they sound pretty weird." Bradin gazed at her, brushing a piece of hair from her face, which sent memories and chillsto both of their minds about yesterday. "No way, I bet their amazing. Can you show me them?" She started to inch away, and glanced at him nervously. "Um, maybe some other time……" and with that, Bradin slowly started to lean in to kiss her. She froze, closing her eyes and waiting for his warm lips to meet

hers like before. She soon felt them, and she knew that he was somebody special to her, no matter how long they only knew each other, or that they couldn't possibly be together, he still was somebody special to her.

I know, I know, sort of a weird chapter, but I REALLY wanted Jasmine's secret to come out, so……..yeah……..lol. Not really T-rated stuff going on YET, but I swear I'm going to put LOTS of it in later chapters! (I will foretell you're future……: grabs a crystal ball from closet and puts on a gypsy turban:…….and you will be reviewing as soon as you're done reading this chapter! Tadaa!) lol from, Rei Ann (aka: cookiedoughmunchkin)

(A/N: to random-bitter-sarcastic-yin-pop-punk-gossip-chick-with-an-attitude: nice new pen name! I was looking around for your old one, and couldn't find it! (where's your story? I keep on looking around but can't find it somehow………) don't worry about the randomness, it happens to me all the time 24/7:D)
