The
thing she didn't know was that Cameron was looking out the window.
He had fire in his eyes and wanted her. 'How could she do that to
me.' He thought.
On Monday Jade went to Sasha's group.
"Hey
guys."
No one responded.
"What's wrong?"
Cloe
came up behind Jade.
"Jade we need to talk."
"About
what?"
"About Cade."
Jade was confused. Cloe was
ok with her dating him, what was up?
"Cade was…he was
killed in a car crash last night."
"What?!" Tears
rolled down her face like a waterfall. Her heart was broken and she
felt like she didn't want to live any more.
"How?"
"A
drunk driver was driving in the wrong lane and hit Cade, he died
instantly."
Jade ran to her house she could not bare it.
She
ran though the empty house tarring every thing down. Then she went to
her room locked her self in there letting no one in. The tears and
anger flowing freely.
Barbie came home an hour later.
"Oh
my god! What happened here?" The house looked like it had been
robbed or something. Loud music was blasting through Jade's room.
Barbie ran up there and was banging on the door. Jade didn't care
and turned the music up louder.
After school Eitan and Cameron
came in and asked Barbie what was going on. They went out side to
talk.
"Jade is upset and ransacked the house and locked her
self in her room. She won't come out." Barbie started to cry
for Jade.
"Well do you know what happened?" Eitan
asked.
"I called one of her friends and she told me that…that
Cade died in a car crash."
"Oh my god." Eitan
said.
Cameron just stood there he could not believe what had
happened.
-The
day before-
"Cameron where are you going?" Barbie
asked.
"Oh I'm going to visit my friend in the next town
over I'll be back late to night, okay?"
"Yeah
okay."
Cameron got into his car and drove to the bar on the
south end of town. He had his fake ID so he could get drinks.
"I'll
have a 'scotch'."
"Can I se some ID." The bartender
asked.
He pulled it out and the bartender gave him the
drink.
After an hour of almost non stop drinking he left the bar.
He got into his car even though he knew he shouldn't but he was
fixed on going to Cades and talk to him about Jade.
He was roaring
down the street at 120 mph and swerved into on coming traffic. Trying
to get back onto the other side of the street he turned but it was to
late.
He opened his eyes to a car on fire and he ran back home. He
looked back and saw the two cars explode and he could not believe
what he had done. He got home.
"Cameron were is your
Car."
"My friend had to use it so he drove me back
here."
"Oh."
"Eitan,
I have to tell you something…" Cameron said after much
thinking.
"What is it?"
"I think…I think I
killed Cade."
"WHAT?!"
"I was drinking
yesterday and, and got in a car crash and I was jealous of him."
"You
were drinking again you said that the last time was you last
time."
"I know, I lied."
"How could you do
that I mean you KILLED some one."
"I'm
sorry."
"Cameron sorry is not going to get you out of
this. I'm telling Barbie."
"No I should I did it."
He walked up to Barbie.
"I killed Cade."
"What?!"
"I
didn't mean to-"
"I'm calling the cops."
Cameron
sat on the side of the side walk waiting for his doom. The cops came
and took him away.
"Eitan don't tell Jade." That was
the last time Etian or any one else saw Cameron again.
-One
Year Later-
Jade had completely changed. She dyed her hair blonde
with rainbow streaks and ditched of all her friends and was one of
the most popular girl in school. She had been dating Eitan for a week
now and her live finally started to be better. She had therapy for
the ordeal and was finally over it.
"Yasmin, Dana where is
May lin?"
"I think she's making out with Dylan."
Yasmin said.
"Again?'
"Yeah."
They walked to
class.
"May
Lin, what did I say about Dylan?" Jade asked.
"That if I
made out with him I can't sit at the table for month…Oh."
"Yeah."
May Lin walked to the back of the room were her former bets friend
sat.
"I cant believe I was best friends with Cloe."
"I
know. Ew!" They all laughed and threw paper at Cloe and May
Lin.
"I hate them." Cloe said to Roxxi.
"What
happened? Jade was so nice last year."
"She has had a
bad time it's really not her fault. She's trying to find
herself."
"Yeah well I wish she'd find her self some
new 'friends'."
"I know. May Lin why do you follow her
around?"
"Ew, your talking to me."
"Ok.
That answers you question Cloe." Roxxi said.
After school
Jade went to the park like she always did. She still very much missed
him but she was better about it. She was sad that she lost all her
friends and wanted them back but she was so scared that is she did
she would be reminded of Cade too much.
"Hey." Eitan
came and sat by her.
"Hi. Eitan am I a bitch?"
"Truthfully some times."
"Do you think I should
be with my real friends."
"What ever will make you
happy."
"Thanks."
She called Cloe after not
talking to her for 6 months.
"Hello." Cloe
answered.
"Cloe can we talk?"
"Oh, hi Jade, did
you call me to insult me some more?" Cloe asked with
distain.
"No I'm asking if I can be your friend again. I
don't want to live a life of lies any more. I took my anger out on
the group and that was wrong. I want to be back with you guys you're
like family."
"One sec."
"So what dose she
want?" Felica asked.
"She wants to be back in the
group."
"Let her." Roxxi said. "She lost her
way in life and has found it again so let her."
"Jade.
Yeah you can come back."
"Oh thank you so much I could
not stand another day with those girls. See you later. Bye."
"So
you happy?" Eitan asked hugging her
"Yeah, I'm happy."
"Cloe,
do you think we should do something for Cade?" Jade asked.
Cloe
was confused but then remember that it was almost a year since he
died.
"Yeah we should blow something up for him."
Jade
laughed. "I meant something else."
"We could write
a poem for him?" Roxxi said.
"That's a good idea, we
should make him a book of poems."
"Ok, then we should
blow something up."
"Ok meet me at my house to
night."
"See you there."
Jade was so happy that
her life was back to normal.
Oh but she was wrong on top of all
the crazy things that have happened in her life things got
worse.
Ring, ring went Jade's Cell.
"Hello."
"Jade
I have to tell you something."
"Who is this?"
"I
killed Cade." Click, the line went dead.
She was really
confused and old memories came back. He heard Cades voice in her head
and she couldn't think strait. 'I've heard that voice before…'
she kept saying in the head. 'Who could it be?'
A
new kid came to school the next day and his name was Bryce. He was in
all of Jade's classes which was really weird.
"Bryce sit by
Jade." He walked back to her table and introduced him self.
"So
your from where again?"
"Seattle
Washington."
"Interesting."
"Not really it
rains all the time up there."
"Oh." She thought to
her self if it rained all the time down here than Cade would still be
here.
Ring. The class was over.
"Hey Jade do you want to
come to me party I'm having tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Here's
the address and number see you there." She smiled and Jade some
how it felt like she knew him from some where it was really weird but
thought no more of it.
"Cloe, have you seen that new
guy?"
"You mean Bryce?"
"Yeah."
"Well
no duh he's fine."
"Well he invited me to his
party."
"Same here."
"Cool."
"What
you guys talking about?" Roxxi came up.
-The
Party-
"Jade." Bryce called to her and she walked over
to where he was.
"Nice party."
"Yeah I know do you
want to go some where more quite?"
"Sure."
They
went up stairs to his room.
"So how do you like Cali?"
"I didn't like it but then I saw you."
"Really
and what were you hoping to gain from meeting me?" She said
coyly.
He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her.
"Do you
remember."
"What are you talking about?"
"Do
you remember, the rain days and the grabbing of hips?"
"CADE?!"
"The
one and only."
She slapped him.
"What was that
for?"
"Why did you leave and fake your death?"
"Cameron
was wanted for murder before he moved here so when he hit my car the
cops thought it be a good idea for me to die and he then confessed to
the other murder too and I hade to go in the Perfective
Services."
"You dyed you hair and you look totally
different."
"Well so do you I like the hair."
"I
can't believe you're back."
They kissed again and while
they were kissing Eitan walked in on them.
"Jade…how could
you?"
"Eitan it's not what it looks like."
Jade
felt really bad that she 'cheated' on Eitan.
"Eitan it wasn't
what it looked like."
"BS."
They were in their
room and he was mad.
"That was Cade."
"What?"
"When
you brother ran into him he faked his death and had to go into the
Perfective Services."
"How did you know Cameron ran into
him?"
"Eitan weren't you listening Cade told me."
"Oh
my god than that really was Cade."
"Yeah like I
said."
"Why would he have his name Bryce."
Jade
throw pillow at him. They laughed.
"So you wouldn't be mad
I dated him again."
"No." He wanted her happy so he
had to let her go.
"Oh thank you so much Eitan." She
hugged him and left the room.
"God, don't make her go
through something like that again."
The
words spoken out loud or inside don't help when someone's life is
good than bad than good again. The bad cycle goes on forever. He
spoke to soon.
Ring, ring.
"Hello" Eitan answered the
phone.
"I'm getting out of prison soon." Click.
'Oh
crap.'
"Jade we need to talk."
She was making her
self something to eat in the kitchen.
"What about?"
"My
brother."
"What about him?"
"Jade he's
getting out of jail."
"What?" She dropped what she
was doing and looked at Eitan full on.
"He just called."
"Oh
my god that makes sense."
"What does?"
"I
think he called me a couple of days ago."
She went to the
park with Cade; Bryce.
"Cade I can't call you Bryce its too
weird."
"You been through weirder so you can call me
Cade."
"I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Etian
got a phone call from Cameron saying that he's geeting out."
"Ok
I change my mind call me Bryce." Cade joked.
"This is no
joking matter."
"I know maybe you should change you name
too."
"I can't I still live in the same house that I
did before."
"Live with me."
"Are you
sure?"
"Yeah just ask Barbie if you can I'm sure it
will be ok."
"Okay."
"What should your name
be?"
"I want to be named to stay the same."
"Yeah,
Bryce is really weird for me. And some other name for you would be
weird too."
They walked back to Jade's house but when they
got there...
The
house was burned down.
"Barbie what happened?"
"An
electrical plug started it."
'I don't think so' Eitan said
to him self.
"Did every one get out ok?"
"Yeah
but it was a close one."
"Not to be a bail or any thing
but can I live with Bryce for a while?"
"Um yeah sure
until we get our house back."
Ring, ring.
"Hello"
"Jade
can we come over for the book?"
"Um, Cloe there is no
need to do that."
"Why not?"
"Meet me at
the park and tell the others."
Jade and Bryce waked back to
the park and waited for Cloe and the others.
"So do you want
to tell them or should I?"
"Tell us what?" Roxxi
asked.
"Um, guys Bryce is really Cade."
"What?!"
They all said.
"Yeah I faked my death..." Bryce told
them everything.
"Oh my god." Felica was stunned like
the others.
"But don't tell any one."
"Why
not?"
"Because I think Cameron is getting out of
jail."
"I hope not." Felica said.
"I know."
Jade looked at the entrance and saw a shadow go by. 'What was that?'
"Guys did you see
that?" Jade asked.
"See what Jade?"
"Never
mind, I thought I saw something."
"Any way I can't
believe your back." Cloe was really happy.
"Yeah I
know." Felica wanted to know what it was like pretending to be
dead and all but Roxxi seamed distant.
"Roxxi?" Jade
asked.
"Yeah."
"Let's go for a walk."
"Ok"
They start to walk into the woods and Jade saw the weird shadow
again.
"Did you see that?"
"Yeah what was
that?"
"I don't know, probably a rabbit or something.
Any way what is up with you lately your kind of distant."
"I
don't know it's just so weird that he's back."
"Yeah
I know." Jade and Roxxi saw the shadow again.
"Ok this
is not funny." Roxxi yelled.
Jade screamed and as did Roxxi,
they were both knock out.
