Disclaimer: I almost forgot about this, but then again I don't care. Hmmm...
There has to be something I did wrong... Jaden can't come out of thin air, he just can't!
She stared at her mirror, her brown eyes turning darker.
What did I do?
Walking closer to the mirror, she placed her hand on the glass, wishing for something to happen.
Jaden...
What happened?
Her hand curled up into a fist.
Is it really you?
A knock on the door woke her from her state, her mind pushing back all thoughts of Jaden.
"Yes?"
"Lexi... I heard about what happened in Crowler's class..."
Did you now? What are you going to do about it?
Shaking her head of those thoughts, she brought her attention back to Atticus.
Why am I being so mean? I mean, he's my brother and all... but he, he doesn't deserve me being mean to him... he's just caring for me.
"Lexi?"
"Yes?"
"... Is everything all right?"
No, everything is completely wrong! Jaden is gone, no he's not, but yet he is, but...
UHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"... Everything's fine Atty--"
"Alexis--"
"--Really, everything is fine."
A staring contest erupted between the two, each one hoping the other would back down, both in the staring contest, and what they were trying to prove.
Jaden, Takeshi, whoever you are, Atticus thought, keeping his gaze on Alexis, You will pay for making my sister like this. Jaden's dead. I know he is. No one can survive in the mirror longer than twenty-four hours.
Not even Jaden.
"Whatever." She shut the door on him, leaving Atticus in shock. He was used to his sister doing that, since she had done so whenever he was "bothering" her.
But... she wasn't supposed to act like this. She wasn't.
And he knew who to blame...
Kinda.
Whether this is Jaden's fault or Takeshi's fault, one of them will fix this. They better figure out a way to make sure my sister is safe, or I will kill Takeshi with my bare hands.
This is his fault. I know it is.
It hasto be.
If not, whose fault is it? Jaden's?
That's not possible. Jaden is dead.
Jaden is dead.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Is he...
Atticus struggled to open the door from where the scream came, but the door was locked. He walked backwards, and slammed into the door, repeating this action several times, but it was of no use.
Why the hell won't this door open!!!
She gasped as she recovered from the shock.
Atty was sure to have heard that scream.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered harshly, glaring at the person who snuck into her room.
Black hair, black eyes. Completely different from the chocolate ones that she was missing, yet so alike.
Their faces matched completely. Same nose, same cheekbones, same earsfor crying out loud!
But... he was different.
This wasn't Jaden.
She felt her heart break up more. If this wasn't Jaden, then was Atticus right?
Was Jaden really dead?
"You left this in the classroom. I presume you're Alexis Rhodes?"
This isn't Jaden...
But, he has to have something to do with Jaden. I know it.
"Yes. You couldn't have knocked?"
He handed her the notebook. "I was told I'm not allowed in the girl's dorm."
Well that's true... but...
"You could have given it to me tomorrow."
He rolled his eyes. "You should be thankful you got it. Maybe next time i should throw it away--"
"No, no, I'm sorry." She sighed, and finally looked into his eyes.
Really looked into his eyes.
"Thank you." She said in monotone, not realizing that she even said anything.
She was captivated. She didn't know why.
She didn't know how.
She just knew that for some reason, she couldn't take her eyes away from him.
And because of that, she didn't see the black mist that was slowly coming from his eyes.
She didn't realize it was seeping into her eyes.
And she didn't even register the fact that for some reason, she thought Jaden was alive again. Any doubt of that fact was gone.
She just didn't realize it at all.
I'm SOOO sorry for the late update. I'm very stressed out right now, no joke. All this music stuff and homework and Eid and GAAHHH!!!! It's SOOO annoying!!! I don't even do some of my hw because I'm too tired and too busy.
