You awoke the next morning on the bed in your hotel room. You got up and walked out into the hall. You walked next door and started banging on the door. The door cracked a fifth open revealing a very tired looking Davey.

"What the hell happened last night?" you demanded. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door wider and said, "Go ask Jade, he was the one who took you here."

You looked at him questionably but you walked in inevitably. You eyed around the corner and saw Jade sprawled across the bed. You felt yourself staring at his restless figure on the bed. You bit your tongue and walked closer as you nervously approached the bed. You extended your arm to shake him lightly on the shoulder but he rolled over grabbed your hand and wouldn't let it go.

You shook it violently to try and get it off before calling, "Davey, help! He won't let go!"

Davey laughed and walked past saying, "Good luck with that one. This is why Jade has his own bed unlike the rest of us."

You bit your lip before using your free hand and punching him in the stomach. You heard him groan and let go and roll over towards the opposite wall and falling back to sleep. You pouted and then started in a fit of hitting and smacking him until he woke up and yelled, "What do you want?"

You glared and said, "I need you to explain to me what happened last night!"

He cocked an eyebrow and sat up and stretched his arms above his head. He then said, "That's confidential."

"What?" you yelled before you smacked him upside the head and screamed, "You better tell me!"

He stuck his tongue out before standing up and walking into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Jade was staring in the mirror thinking, "I can't let her know that I know her secret or she'd get really mad. I just need to keep a closer watch on her without getting her pissed off at me. Why do I feel like I need to protect her? I'm so confused,"

He shook his head and turned on the water in the sink and washed his face and smoothed down his messy hair.

.:Jade's perspective:.

You sighed as you walked out of the bathroom and went to go make your bed.

But Aimee was sitting on the corner glaring at you.

"What?" you finally said after making the areas around where she was sitting.

She put her hair behind her ear and adjusted her glasses before saying, "Nothing. I'm testing you to see if you'll tell me what you did to me last night!"

"I didn't do anything to you!" you yelled. She looked at you dumbly and said, "I smell like TAG and there's a piece of you zipper stuck to my jacket. What did you do?"

You sheepishly looked aside and told yourself, "She's only defensive because she's been scarred…she tries to hide her pain through anger. I can't get mad at her for that,"

"It's nothing, honestly. I only had to carry you inside the hotel because you passed out from the alcohol," you lied reassuringly. She sighed a breath of relief as she stood up and started towards the door but stopped before saying, "Er, thanks…for everything, you know. But don't expect me to be nice to you! Yeah…"

You smiled despite the last part and shook your head as you put your shoes on and walked to the elevator. Adam followed you and pressed the button for the first floor.

"So, what was that all about?" he asked. You shrugged as if you didn't know and said, "Another one of her outbursts. She only has them like 5 times a day. And they usually end with me getting the shit kicked out of,"

He laughed as you rubbed your arm. As the elevator started to go down, you started jumping up and down. Adam looked at you weird so you explained, "If you jump when the elevator goes down, you can stay in the air for like 3 seconds. Gravity is an interesting topic,"

He shook his head while laughing at your jolt of randomness. You walked out of the elevator with him and heard old people music playing in the lobby.

"Bleh," you said as you walked up to the little radio they had. You started to play with the tuner trying to find a decent station when a guy came from behind you and said, "Excuse me, we have strict regulations to play it on that station,"

You looked up with a 'huh' face and as the guy walked away you started screwing with the station again. Then you found a station that was playing "Call me when you're sober" by Evanescence.

"Ahhh, it's my song!" you cried and started singing to it and doing funny motions to it like putting your fist in the air and stuff.

"Don't cry to me! If you loved me, you would be here with me! You want me, come find me! Make up your mind!" you sung.

You then jumped on one of the couches in the lobby and pretended to hold a mic as you sang, "You never call me when you're sober! You only want it cuz it's over!"

When you sang, 'you only want it' you slid your hand down the side of your tight pants. You then noticed that Adam's face change from uncontainable laughter to a guilty look.

"What?" you asked before turning around and seeing Aimee and Davi standing there speechless at what they witnessed. They both had their eyebrows cocked up in a way that made you feel utterly stupid for a second. Then they started laughing unbearably and walked out of the room. It was really quiet for a second between you and Adam before you both started snickering. You then jumped off the couch and turned the radio back to the right station.

"Adam, what do we have setup for today? I hope we don't have an interview. I really want to attempt street performing."

He stared bluntly at you and asked, "Street performing? Why?"

You shrugged and looked at the ground shyly and said, "I don't know...I've never tried it and it'd be really fun singing and playing guitar in front of a bunch of people..."

Adam then said, "You already do sing and play guitar in front of a bunch of people."

You glared before saying, "You know what? Nevermind. Forget I said anything."

Adam rolled his eyes and shook his head as you both headed towards the café. You stretched your arms above your head and said, "Man, I'm so hungry!"

You got in the breakfast line, which stretched, back a ways from the buffet. You sighed and waited patiently as the line grew closer to the food. You licked your lips as you extended your arm to grab the very last vegan muffin. But at the same time you went to grab it, someone else reached across your arm and went for the same muffin. You were going fight for it until you realized it was Aimee. You held the muffin in your hand and stared at it and then handed it over politely to her. She looked at you suspiciously but took it and set it on her tray. You heard her mumble a discrete 'thank you' under her breath as she scooted her tray down.

You smiled and shook your head as you went to sit down at a table. You then saw Davi sitting by herself at a table. You figured you'd be nice and go sit by her.

As you did so, you noticed Aimee heading your direction so you sat down quickly and started up some conversation.

:"Hey, is Davi your real name?" you asked flirtatiously. She eyed you oddly and said, "No, it's not. It started as a nickname but it ended up sticking after the first few years so we just left it. Why do you ask?"

You shrugged and said, "I don't know. It's kind of weird having two Davey's to refer to. Couldn't we just call you by your real name?"

She swallowed her food and said, "Well, my name is Shaquell. But ever since I liked AFI, me and my friend Jess changed my name to Davi. You can call me it if you like but realistically I prefer Davi."

"I find the name Shaquell really cute!" you enthused. But as you looked up and saw Aimee standing there with a look of death on her face. She shook her head and put her tray down and walked out in the lobby.

:.Normal point of view.:

You stood there witnessing Davi and Jade sitting together at a table. You felt a sick feeling in your stomach as you watched him laugh with her. That's when he then said very loudly, "I think Shaquell is a cute name!"

You felt yourself suddenly feel like you were going to throw up. You put your tray down and ran out through the lobby. You ran into the bathroom and leaned over the toilet and felt your innards rise as you discharged into the porcelain bowl. You wiped your face and crawled out of the stall and looked in the mirror. You looked pale and your lips left a trail of excess puke along your lip line. You grabbed a paper towel and went to wipe your face when a voice behind you startled you.

"Oh my God, are you bulimic?" asked the blonde who happened to be in the bathroom when you spewed your guts. You shook your head vaguely as you wiped your face and washed your hands. As you walked out, you felt a pang of jealousy from seeing Davi with Jade. It made you feel really hurt and you didn't know why.

"I don't even like Jade so why am I so jealous? This is so stupid for me to be acting like this. Everyone probably thinks I'm the biggest freak by now..." you thought to yourself.

You rubbed you arms to get rid of your chills as you walked out of the bathroom and outside of the hotel. You started to walk down the bike path. It was slightly damp outside but you didn't care, you just continued walking in an attempt to clear your head.

"Why must I always complicate everything?" you continued asking yourself as you started to walk across the street. But you weren't paying any attention to the crosswalk. You heard a loud noise coming in your direction as you looked up and saw headlights coming at you. Before you could even scream, you shut your eyes and stood still; in complete shock of what you thought was going to happen.

You were so sure that car was going to hit you and that you were going to be done for. But something kept you from that fate.

You heard a voice from the corner of your ear that said, "Watch out Aimee!"

The next thing you knew is was that you were pulled and thrown in the direction in which you had come. You opened your eyes as you were thrown back and tripped on the concrete and landed on your butt.

You noticed that it was Jade standing a few feet in front of you. You looked up at him confusedly on why he followed you in the first place.

He stuck his hand out and helped you up before openly embracing you, catching you off guard.

He then whispered in your ear, "Oh my god. Be more careful, Aimee, you scared me to death."

You just stood there in utter confusion before awkwardly saying, "Jade, what exactly are you doing?"

He immediately released you and awkwardly stared at the ground and said, "Um, let's go back to the hotel. I only told them I'd be gone for a little while,"

He grabbed you wrist and began to drag you back as you shockingly remained obedient.

.:Jade's point of view:.

You sighed after Aimee walked out of the room. You decided not to instantly see what was wrong in fear that she'd think you're stalking her again. She was such a weird girl.

You conversed with Shaquell further until you finished your food and threw away your trash. You stood up and excused yourself and walked towards the lobby. You saw that she must have gone outside because the handicap button was pressed and the door was still wide open. You walked through the doorway and walked outside where the weather was windy. You started heading down the street where you were sure she'd be heading east since west had construction.

"Why am I looking for her? She'll come back eventually when she gets over it. Why do I always have to be the good Samaritan and be nice to people who honestly wish I would just die?" you thought to yourself angrily. You exhaled as you made it to the halfway point of the block. You looked at the street and saw Aimee walking slowly across the crosswalk. You started to run so you could see what was up but you then noticed a truck coming. You looked both ways to see if anyone was witnessing it but you then yelled, "Watch out Aimee!" and started sprinting towards her. You grabbed the hood of her sweatshirt and flung her back towards you but moved just in time for the truck to pass without hitting you.

You bent over to pant before looking up and seeing her sitting on the concrete with a bewildered look on her face. You stood straight up and before even thinking, you helped her up and embraced her firmly and whispered in her ear, "Oh my God. Be more careful Aimee. You scared me to death."

You became enticed within her scent and found yourself getting into the hug as much more than just fear.

But when you felt her clench up and say, "Jade, what exactly are you doing?" you immediately released her and looked down so she would see you blush, as you thought, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why did I do that?"

"Um, let's go back to the hotel. I only told them I'd be gone for a little while," you muttered before grabbing her wrist and dragging her back with you.

But as you got inside the lobby, she jerked away and started darting towards the elevator. You walked after her and yelled, "What? I don't even get a "thank you"?"

You got inside and said under her breath, "Thank you for ruining my death," before the doors closed in front of you, leaving you standing there, in dead shock.

"What the hell, woman, what do you want from me?" you yelled to her though it was obvious she'd never hear.

"Dude, I think you just got the cold shoulder," you turned and saw Hunter standing there with a smirk on his face as he patted your shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's part of the package."

You frowned and said, "You don't even know what happened,"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "No, but I know when men are in denial. Dude, you're like hooked."

You shook your head and said, "I don't even know why I try to be nice to her anymore. She just won't let anyone in."

You went upstairs bitterly and knocked on Davey's door. No answer. You knocked on it again with more force until he finally opened it. He peeked out and smiled and opened the door wider and let you in.

"Shh, Adam and Smith are watching a movie. Look who fell asleep on your bed!" he whispered. You walked in and peeked around the corner and saw Aimee curled up with her arms laced around your pillow. For some reason, all your anger had slipped away but was replaced with a sudden sadness as you watched her peacefully sleep as your mind went back to the story she told you the night at the club. How can a guy could ever think about using someone like her?
