Hayden awoke to a big bright light.

Everything around her seemed blurred. Sitting up, she looked around her. White walls, cotton balls and lollipops in jars, and a Nurse with the name Spex staring quizingly at her.

"Oh! Up are we?" Nurse Spex asked.

Hayden's vision cleared. "Why am I here?" Her head was pounding. Taking one hand to her head, she tried to remember what happened.

"Those two will stop messing with you now. They got their just desserts. Scaring you like that. They shouldn't even have been roaming the halls." The nurse stated.

Hayden remembered. The spinning, the falling but mostly she remembered the guy that helped her. She couldn't picture the face, but she did remember his power. Fire. It was so vibrant, hot and powerful.

"Who was it that brought me here?" Hayden was hoping to get a name.

Nurse Spex looked at her chart. "It says here," she peered onto the scribbled name, "That Will Stronghold brought you in. Oh he's a nice boy."

Hayden felt a hint of recognition from the name but couldn't remember where she had heard the name. Stronghold, where have I heard that name before...Strong- Stronghold Realtors? Hayden had remembered this couple who sold Bella their house. They were wonderful and so nice. They made great deals for them including the tuition for her school. Josie Stronghold came to her sophomore spring musical where Hayden had a small but pivotal role. She sang and immediately everyone cried. Then in another song, everyone had been levitating off their chairs. Josie pulled a lot of strings to get Hayden into the school and also had introduced Will to her. He was nice. Showed her his power. He had super strength and the ability to fly. It was amazing.

But Will didn't have Fire power.

"YooHoo! Anyone in there?" Nurse Spex waved her hand in front of Hayden's eyes.

The bell rang.

"Oh! It's time for you to go see Coach Boomer. He'll be waiting for you in the gym." Nurse Spex informed.

Hayden stood up and left the room. She wondered why Will had brought her in, when it was someone else who had helped her.

Warren did what he had to do. He didn't want her to know that he had been there watching her sing. He didn't want to be known as the guy who saved her. It wasn't his M.O. He made sure that the two idiots that bullied her wouldn't tell a soul. He then called Will over to take her to the nurse's office.

Will had been sort of his best friend for the past year. They've been pretty close and have been hanging out a lot. It became sort of a widely known fact that Will, Layla, Ethan, Magenta, Zach and himself became sort of a group.

Will came over and picked the girl on the floor with one easy swoop. He didn't even ask Warren what happened. He just dropped the girl off at the nurses office, signed his name and went to lunch.

Warren then met him up at lunch and filled him in with the details.

Hayden strolled into the gym once again but this time, more cautiously. In the middle of the ring was Coach Boomer. He had one light on him that accented his harsh features. He looked scary and big.

"You Hayden Love?" He asked in a booming voice.

"Ye-yes sir." Hayden hesitated.

"Get up here and show you're power." He demanded.

"Um, I don't think I know what my power is."

Boomer got a confused look on his face. "You what? Why are you even here?"

Hayden really didn't know what her power was. She just knew that when she sang, she did things to people. Sometimes, she would sing and people would fall in love in front of her eyes. Other times people would be in so much pain from the incredible sadness that came from the lyrics.

"I, uh, just sing. I don't know what happens. I just sing and people around me start acting weird."

"You sing?" Boomer sneered. "Then get up here and sing."

Hayden walked up to the stage. She couldn't think of a song to sing. Boomer was shouting for her to hurry on and all of a sudden a note came into her head. With every emotion she started to sing.

As the melody rang through her, she let each note have it's own emotion.

The song was of lost love. A love that could have been but was never acted upon. A love that never had a chance.

As she sang this song of love, Boomer could swear there were violins and pianos accompanying her. Each lyric and verse hit his heart in a way that no one ever could. It reminded him of his lost love; the fact that he was alone now, and the fact that he may never find love. All of these emotions sprang up into his eyes. Then a single tear, followed by a stream of tears came down his face.

Hayden finished her song in hum while watching this grown man cry in front of her.

Through his tears, Coach Boomer told her she was a hero and excused himself. He would remember this forever.
