An hour passes bye...

"Arrrggghhh!" Eric growled. Jackson jumped a bit.

"I can't learn this!" He yelled nearly smacking the guitar on the ground. Jackson quickly picked it back up.

"You can do it." He said handing it to him again.

"Why don't you play for her? You know how." He sighed.

"Because. You make her happy." He said with a smirk.

"Huh..? YOUR THE ONE SHE HAS A CRUSH ON!" He shouted.

"But you two have a history back home, I think the last person she would ever want to see." He said with the guitar out.

"Is you." He finished.

Eric looked down at the guitar.

"Face it Eric..you two seem to understand each other." He said.

Eric didn't say anything, what could he say? That he was wrong?

"Now, play me something." He ordered.

Eric ran his fingers threw the guitar strings. playing his first lovely tune. Jackson was satisfied.

"See?" He said. "Practice makes perfect." He said smiling. Eric smiled back at him.

"Thanks..." He said feeling embaressed.

"Now just remember what your doing, once Melissa hears you play. She-"
Eric handed him his guitar.

"No." He said standing up. Jackson cocked an eye browe.

"What?" He asked standing up.
"No no...It just doesn't feel right." He said.

"Oh..nows the time to grow a concious?" He asked.

"I just-"
Jackson shoved the guitar into Erics chest.

"You can do it." Was all he said. and walked off the camp site. Eric stood there with the carved wooden beautie in his arms.

Oh man..He thought unsure like. He sat down and ran threw the steps Jackson told him.

Camp site

Daley rushed out to find anyone in the distance.

"Jackson!" She yelled running up to him,
"What's wrong?" He asked.

"It's Melissa! Somethings wrong with her!" She panicked. Jacksons eyes grew wide and fallowed Daley to the shelter. Jackson and Daley ran threw inside finding Nathan and Lex and Taylor next to Melissa comforting her.

"Melissa are you alright?" He asked in a frightened voice. Melissa had swett rolling down her face and down her cheeks.

"Melissa?" He asked. Melissa could hear voices fading as her eyes would shut and open. She saw figures in front of her and aside her.

She watched Jackson fade away as her eyes glue shut.
"Mellisa??" He asked waving his hand in front of her.

"She's still breathing, for now." She said moving away from her chest.

Jackson looked down at the girl in front of him.

Why Melissa...Why her? Why couldn't it have been me? He thought

"I Guess we should leave her alone. Taylor could you stay with her?" Daley asked.

Taylor nodded.

"Alright, lets let her rest." She said getting out of the tent, Lex Nathan and Jackson fallowed her out.

Eric was about to finish his first tune. He knew what song he wanted to play. A song his mother would used to sing to him before she left his dad. (Or died, ect)

He was about finished. And placed the guitar back on its side. And ran out of the bushes. And ran into a terrified Jackson.

"You alright man?" He asked.

"No...um Eric, it might not be a bad idea to play in an hour ,maybe.." He said.

"An HOUR!?" He asked surprised. "But I hardly know the song!"
"Well you better practice quickly cause Melissas getting worse." He said. Eric could feel his world spinning.
"Getting worse? What do you mean getting worse?" He asked moving up closer.

"Well uh..I don't think she has much time left." He said walking away. Eric fell to the ground with all the mind boddling thoughts swarming around his head.

He did as Jackson told him. He ran back to the bushes and played the song he was meant to play for her.
