.:Back to Aimee's view:.

You awoke lying on Jade's bed as a chilly wind blew in the window and gave you a shudder. You sat up and zipped up your fitted sweater and noticed that you were in the room alone. You pulled you knees to your chest and thought about everything that had happened. You felt horribly sad about being harsh to Jade but something kept making you act this way. You strained you fingers through your hair and sighed deeply. A tear fell down your face and down onto the pillow. You squeezed your eyes shut to keep them from falling because you refused to be like this over something as stupid as regret.

You slid off the bed and walked over to the door but hesitated to grab the knob in fear of seeing anyone you knew. You just wanted to be alone. You bit your tongue and opened the door and walked out into the hallway. You were walking down the long hallway when Davi's voice startled you with, "Hey Aimee, we thought we'd let you sleep for a while before we went out and did anything. Are you going to come with us to dinner?"

You sighed and said, "I don't know, I'm kind of feeling sick."

She smiled sympathetically and said, "Well, definitely consider it because we'll be hitting an over 21 club directly afterwards. It's nice to be 22 now, huh? Seeing as your birthday recently passed,"

You looked down with an awkward face as you remembered how badly your birthday went.
"Yeah, I guess…Who's all going?" you responded. She smiled and said, "David, Hunter, Adam, and Jade are all going. I think Smith is going to miss out because he's been super busy getting the next tour all set up. It'll be really fun, Aimee. At least go for my sake."

"But, I'm not really in a 'let's go out and have a great life' mood and I just sort of want to…"

"Wait, let me guess. You want to stay here and sleep, which makes you not involved in nearly everything we do? Come on, just this once!" she pleaded.

You inhaled and said, "Fine, just let me get ready,"

She smiled and hugged you tightly and said, "Thank you for not leaving me with a bunch of guys! I wish you'd at least try and enjoy this experience with me,"

You blinked and redid your makeup in the bathroom mirror and changed into some less wrinkled clothes. You also spiked the back of your hair so that it flipped a little. You stared at yourself in the mirror until finally you said, "Enough with this crappy depressed mood. I need to lighten up," and went out into the hall to go to the elevator. As you walked out of your room, Davey walked out of his and looked at you and smiled mischievously and said, "Why miss, would you like me to escort you on your trip to the elevator?"

You laughed and nodded as he wrapped his arm in yours and walked with you to the elevator. When you both got inside of it and the doors shut, Davey turned to you and said, "You're not going to try and get in a fight with Jade again are you? I hate it when people fight,"

You shrugged and said, "I don't really plan them, they just sort of happen. But I'll try to keep my mouth shut so I don't start anything up. Jade says it's usually my fault huh?"

Davey looked sheepish and said, "Where'd you hear that from?"

You looked at the floor and smiled before saying, "I heard Jade talking to himself in the bathroom earlier. In a way, it actually made me smile,"

"You like him, don't you?" he said smiling.

You shuddered and said, "He's just so… Jade-like. I don't think I could give him a try."

"I see how it is…" Davey said suspiciously.
You smiled for a second before returning to your emotionless face as you walked out of the elevator with your eyes on the ground. You looked up and saw everyone getting ready to leave. But as you walked into the room with Davey, everyone turned and looked at you. You stood there awkwardly as Davey tugged on the jacket in your hands and lifted it up and helped you put it on. Everyone watched you like they were trying to read your emotions. You shook off their looks and walked out to the van and piled inside. You inhaled briefly as Jade sat next to Daverz. You closed your eyes as the car started and shortly relaxed as the car's silent vibrations soothed your uptight nerves. As you exhaled and opened your eyes, the car came to a stop. You looked out the window and saw a large lit up building with all the windows covered by black paper. You licked your lips to keep them moist since they were feeling a bit dry as you got out of the vehicle. You smiled as you walked inside, your ears filled with loud music. You sat down in the booth and started to talk to Davey about stuff.

"So Aimee, have you ever really thought about trying to find a career? What exactly do you do?" he asked you. You shifted in your seat and said, "Well, I…sort of…want to be a dancer…it sounds so weird I know but when I dance I feel so free, there's no way to describe it,"

He nodded and smirked before adding, "Yeah, I should've figured by those moves you were doing onstage with Davi. You were so graceful."

You smiled before noticing someone walk up to your table. It wasn't anyone you knew though.

"Hey, my name is Finn and I was just wondering if I could buy you a drink," He said. You looked at Davey and cocked an eyebrow as he nodded. You smiled politely and said, "Yeah, I'd like that,"

He smiled and walked towards the bar. You stuck your tongue out at Davey as you noticed Jade, Adam, and Hunter came back from the restroom. You scooted over to make room for them Finn came back with a drink. You noticed Jade eyed him suspiciously as you took the drink from him and scooted over a little bit and said, "Hey, you can sit down with us if you want."

He swallowed and said, "don't mind if I do," and sat down next to you comfortably.

:A few drinks later:

You started feeling a little bit uncomfortable with Finn as he got drunker by the minute. You tried to pass it off like you didn't mind it but it was really getting hard to do when he began caressing your thigh. You smiled awkwardly as you tried not to look at Jade who was constantly kicking your chair purposely.

Eventually, Finn had stood up and you walked with him outside, leaving everyone suspicious. As you shut the door to outside, Finn pinned you against the wall. You cringed as his alcohol-stained breath started to harshly breathe on your neck. You shut your eyes as his hand started wondering up your shirt.

'Not again,' you thought as you began to panic worriedly. You bit your lip and said, "Finn stop, this isn't funny anymore."

But he simply ignored you and forced his lips onto yours, filling your mouth with the horrible taste of pure alcohol. You jerked him off and shoved him away from you as you tried to run back inside but he grabbed you by your hooded sweatshirt and pulled you back against him. You were disgusted as you felt him against your backside and his hand swarmed down your jeans.

"Get off of me!" you yelled and punched him in the stomach, he then grabbed both your wrists with his hand and used the other to slap you across the face.

"What the hell are you doing?" you heard a voice yell. You turned and saw Jade and Davey standing there looking pissed.

"Guys, help me!" you screamed as the guy got a strong grip on you. Jade stood tall and went for the guy while Davey grabbed you away from him. Davey put his arm to keep you back seeing as you wanted to help but he wouldn't let you. He kept saying, "Stay back! This is going to be ugly. I've never seen Jade that pissed!"

You sighed defeated as you stood back and watched.

"You fucking make me sick!" Jade yelled as he punched Finn in the face. He crumpled to the ground and Jade picked him up by his collar and said, "You ever touch her again and I'll wring your neck," before he threw him back against the wall. He then turned and looked at you with harsh eyes. You felt slightly intimidated as he walked your direction. But as he looked back up, his eyes lightened as he asked, "Aimee, are you alright? I was hoping this wouldn't be like the Jeph situation all over again,"

"How did you know about Jeph?" you demanded hastily.

He backed up and said, "I…I don't know…"

He shook his head and said, "Well, let's call it a night. I think I've had enough excitement for one night."

You looked at him skeptically as you walked towards the van.

"I'm going to go in and get the rest of them so I'll be right back," said Davey as he rushed inside, leaving you and Jade alone in the van. There was a very awkward silence before you said, "Jade, when we get back to the hotel, we need to talk…privately."

He raised his eyebrows and sighed before he turned around in the driver's seat and faced the front.

As soon as Davey came back with everyone, Davi came back and sat next to you and said, "Hey sorry about what happened. I should've hung out more with you instead of ditching everyone."

You shook your head and said, "It's not your fault. It's mine. I need to start opening my eyes a little bit."

As soon as you got back to the hotel, you all went separate way, half of you taking the stairs while you and Jade took the elevator.

"Jade, how did you know about Jeph?" you asked. He sighed and said, "You told me when you were drunk, okay?"

"Ah! How could you not tell me you knew?" you screamed at him. He looked offended and yelled, "I wasn't going to tell you when I knew you'd get pissed off either way! That's just how you are! You're scarred from one thing that happened to you and you think you can hide that by putting out your anger at everyone!"

You shook your head in disbelief and screamed, "You think you know the reason I'm the way I am? You think I'm scarred because of only Jeph? The reason I'm scarred is because of Mike, Tom, My step dad, my step brother, AND my best friend! My whole damn life, I've been used by scumbag after scumbag and if you think that I'm just going to live life like it never happened, then you're no better than any one of them!"

You the tried to hit him but he grabbed your hands and withheld them from hitting anything. But you pushed him back against the button pad of the elevator. But you ended up pushing harder than you intended and ended up breaking the elevator. It came to an abrupt stop as Jade fell down against the floor with his hands on the metal rail. He deeply panted as you only tried to tackle him. But as he grabbed your hands while you were on your knees, he suddenly loosened up and stared at you as you felt your heart drop as your breath shortened for half a second. He then threw you completely off guard by pressing his lips against yours. He let go of your hands as they made their way to your face. You found yourself giving in but suddenly realizing what was going on.

You shoved him backwards not aggressively but shockingly as you stared at him confusedly and felt your eyes start to water. You shook and grabbed your head in frustration as you started sobbing.

He sat down on the ground and watched as you paced around the elevator. You eventually fell onto the floor and made your way towards him and laid your head on his thigh. Tears still flowing, you said, "Why can't I just hate you and make it easier on myself?"

You sat up against the elevator wall and pulled your knees to your chest and exhaled deeply. You shyly looked up at him before he said, "So, how many times have you…"

You interrupted him with, "5. I've been raped five times,"

He looked bleak as he said, "I'm sorry for assuming it was a one time deal. I know that I can never understand what that's like but I know that it must've been really hard. I mean, I wouldn't use you like that,"

You shook your head and said, "Thanks but that doesn't really change what happened."

He bit his lip and said, "I know but I was hoping it'd cheer you up a little. I hate seeing girls cry, it makes me all overly emotional. Plus it straight up makes me feel uneasy since I can't even try to relate."

You smiled slightly and said, "You're not as bad as I try to make you out to be. I know it must be awkward when I put you in that kind of position where you absolutely have to go off on me. I can't help it, though."

He smiled and looked at the floor bashfully before saying, "Yeah but I don't mind all the time. It's kind of funny to piss you off. I just wish you wouldn't take out all that excess anger on your arms."

You clenched up at what he said and guiltily looked to the side before whispering, "How did you know?"

He winced eerily and said, "I forget to mention that I found out…on that night you got drunk…please don't hit me!" before raising his hands to block his face cutely. You laughed a little before saying, "Yeah I figured it since you kept watching me like hawk after that night."

He looked away guiltily and said, "Um, I just wanted to…"

"It's okay Jade, I understand. Yeah, I didn't really want to do it…it just sort of happened and I knew I'd get my ass chewed out if anyone found out. I know Daverz sure would. She would murder me!"

He laughed some more before you stood up and said, while leaning against the rail, "I wonder if we'll get out of here anytime soon. It's been like 58 minutes."

Jade shrugged and said, "I don't know. Hopefully soon, I'm going to have to use bathroom sometime, and I sure as hell don't want to piss my pants…"

You smiled awkwardly before stating, "Thank you for the information, Mr. Puget."

He smiled and said, "You're welcome! Hey come over by me, I know something we could do to pass the time,"

You bent down in front of him and sat down on the floor with your legs crossed. He smiled excitedly and sat up straight and put his hands together.

"Alright, get ready for some good old entertainment," he said before extending his hand to yours for some ill patty cake.

This seemed to entertain you for good 15 minutes before dying of laughter from his face.

"Oh my god, you remind me so much of Smith!" you squealed as you bit your tongue to keep from laughing.
Jade made a cocky look and said smoothly, "I try my best to make a good impression as a big brother and all. He learned from the master."

You hit him playfully on the leg as you then thought of an idea of what else you could do to kill time.

"We could do yo momma jokes!" you suggested excitedly. He grinned widely and said, "I'm awesome at those!"

You nodded and started calling out your best jokes from memory.

"Yo momma's so fat, she makes right guard go left!"

"Yo momma's like a hardware store- 25 cents a screw!"

"Yo momma so stupid she thought a quarter back was a refund!"

"Your momma is so fat, before god said there be light, he had to tell her to move out of the way…" you finally said.
"Okay, now that one hurt…" he said sensitively.
"Are you serious?"

"No, haha! But it was a good one, I admit. I'm all out of ideas," he said while laughing.

You shook your head and said, "What about Yo momma so dumb, she thought grape nuts was an STD? Ever hear that one?"

He shook his head and said, "I'm not good at these, I can never remember them. How come you're so good?"

You made a weird face before explaining, "Um, I used to have yo momma wars with Daverz and I guess I just got really good. I guess I'm just good at insulting people,"

You both laughed for a few minutes before suddenly it felt like the elevator started moving but it was moving really fast.

"Jade, I think we're falling!" you cried out as you started to float upwards from the force. You both were screaming until suddenly it stopped with a jerk, making you and Jade fall onto the floor.

You got up on your hands and knees while panting, trying to regain your breath.

Jade then asked, "Are you okay?"

You nodded and put your hand up on the rail before pushing yourself upwards. "What was that?" you asked.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know but I didn't like the sound of it. Do you think they're trying to get us out? Do they even know we're gone?"

You shrugged and said, "Well I think they know we're gone, it's been like 2 hours."

As you walked over to sit by him, the light's flickered off.

"Oh great," you mumbled while putting your arms in front of you to fell where everything is, "Jade, where are you?"

You felt hands on your hips leading you to where he was. You reached out as you bent downwards and touched his hair. You lowered your hands down to his face as you traced his similar features into your head. You smiled though you knew he couldn't see it. You then commented, "You have really soft skin for a guy."

"What?" you heard him say. His voice sounded different when you couldn't see his face. It made you relax and feel really safe as you said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing,"

"That was a really random comment," he said. You blushed but were thankful that he couldn't see you. You felt yourself yawn as you then said, "Well, I think I'm going to take a nap, will you wake me if anything happens in our situation?"

"Sure. Goodnight, Aimee."

"Good night, Jade," you said as you sprawled down until you felt comfortable and closed your eyes.

:Davey's point of view:

"Can't you speed it up a little bit? I mean, what if they have to use the restroom?" you asked with a slight chuckle but stopped yourself at the seriousness of the situation. Jade and Aimee were stuck together inside an elevator after the hugest fight and you were truly worried.

"I'm sorry, but we're trying the hardest we can at this time of night," the manager of the hotel informed you. You rolled your eyes slightly but tried to hide your dismay. You heard a loud noise and turned and looked and saw that some people were rushing around.

"Oh god, the elevator fell!" you heard a woman scream. You felt your hopes slide as you tried to see what was going on.

"We got the elevator to stop before it reached the bottom luckily. We're really close to getting it completely fixed but there are still some flaws with the electricity. I don't know how it got disconnected, it must have happened from inside the elevator," said one of the electricians.

You sighed and turned and looked at Adam and said, "This might take awhile," before walking towards the wall and sitting on the bench.
