Sydney's Dilemma

"I'm ready.." Sydney blushed walking into the hall way. "wow..." was all Adrian could manage standing up. "you look... Look... Wow..."

Sydney's blush deepened as she look led away. "don't be so shocked" she teased. "well," Adrian's throat felt dry.

"it's quite a change from your khaki's and blazers, sage. It's hard not to be"

Adrian said, smiling at the girl. She truly was the only one that made him feel like this.

"hey, I don't wear khaki's and blazers— anymore!... Give me some credit" she laughed. "oh, yes, it's now pencil skirts and sweaters— oh my, sage! Such a risk taker!" Adrian joked, leading her down the stairs. They went down to the Lobby, meeting up with everyone in sparkling gowns and fitting suits.

"how do I look?!" Jill squeaked twirling in her glittering Emerald gown that

gave the illusion of her levitating as she spoke. "you look beautiful, ji-"

Sydney froze mid-sentence seeing Angeline. Angeline was wearing a baby blue sequin dress tha cut off at her upper thigh- with her Auburn hair straightened and flowing down an over her shoulders and back.

"what?" Angeline said defensively "stop looking at me like that!" she- did she blush?! "you look... Wow"

was all Sydney could manage. "you're wearing a dress.." she said in awe. "and so are you, now that we stated the obvious, let's goooo!" she rushed through the lobby doors, dragging Eddie with her.

Jill watched them as Eddie laughed with Angeline, a pained expression on her face. "Hey... Jill.. You okay?" Adrian said looking down at the young Moroi, Sympathy written all over his face. "yeah.." she tried for a smile.

"I'm fine," she headed for the door, but paused. "Adrian, I'm happy for you.." she said looking back at him, an empty expression on her face. She smiled a little and exited the lobby.

Sydney watched her leave. Heart sinking. "Adrian... Is she going to be

okay..?.." said Sydney. "I hope so, sage." he sighed.

" I hope so.." and with that, he took Sydney's arm and led her to the car. His

heart Heart aching for the girl

He came to love as a sister. And he knew, that this was his doing. And He had to make it right.

"This isn't the cafe" Sydney stated walking into the huge ballroom. "No shit, shirlock" Angeline said rolling her eyes and pulling Eddie to dance "No, really, Angeline. I don't da-"

"Shut up and stop being such a baby!" She said dragging him into the crowd. Jill sat down, sad and miserable looking. "Jill... What's wrong?" Sydney said looking at the frail Moroi.

She'd developed a soft spot for her over the months. "Nothing.." she sighed "Go dance and have fun" she said with a smile forming on her lips.

"I can feel it through the bond, y'know.." she said smiling a bit more. "Feel what" asked Adrian. "yeah"

Agreed Sydney. "you knooow..." she grinned. Adrian's eyes widened at that.

"Jailbait.. Don't. You dare"

He said looking down At her angrily. "THAT ADRIAN AND SYDNEY HAVE THE HOTS FOR

EACH OTHER!" She screamed at the top of her lung. Causing Sydney to turn the color of her dress, and Adrian even greener than his emerald eyes. "Jill I'm going to kill you!"

He growled stepping towards the girl. "Hey, you thought it, I just said it" she

said raising her hands. Grinning from ear to ear. " I think I'm going to be sick" Sydney said running to the bathroom.

"Wow," said Eddie stepping up beside Adrian "The thought of dating you made her want to puke. Literally." He grinned as Angeline and Jill laughed.

Sydney retched into the toilet. Feeling as though she was gonna throw up her

entire stomach. "oh god.." she muttered dunking her head in for another round.

"Sage? You okay?"

Said Adrian Knocking on her stall door. "oh my god! You pervert!" A woman said Looking at Adrian as she rushed to the door. "I'm getting security!" she she

raged.

"oh, don't flatter yourself—lady, there's Noothing I wanna see there. Trust me." he said disgusted. The woman stormed out of the bathroom to find a security guard. "Sage? Are you okay in there?"

he said walking in. "G-go away, i'm fine.." She insisted. " Sage.." He sighed.

"Here," He said holding her hair back. "What have you eaten today?" "Nothing" She admitted flushing the toilet.

"Saage, you know better!" He said in frustration. "I was busy!" She exclaimed walking out the stall and to the sink. "That's no excuse! Make time to eat some damn food, sage"

He said. Temper quickly rising. " 'I' Don't have time! I have classes, practices, games, Ms. Terwilliger stalking me, looking out for Jill, Trying to do my actual job that I came here for, AND taking care of you! Oh! And lets not forget me being the un-payed chauffer!" She said a bit loudly. Aggressively taking out her Colgate Wisp. "Sage..."

He said running a hand through his hair. "I didn't mean to upset you..." He said wrapping his arms around her small waist. "I just meant... That maybe... Maybe we should take a vacatio" He smiled brightly.

"What? Now?" She said turning her head to look at him. Brown eyes wide with curiousity and shock. "Yes, now. I think we all could really use a break. Especially you" He said pullig her against his chest.

"The Achemist Would kill me, Adrian!" "No, They won't. I'll handle everything... Promise." He kissed her head. Then her temple. And eventually he found his way to her lips.

"Adrian.." She said pulling away, smiling. "Not in a public bathrom." "aww" She said giving her his signature puppy dog eyes.

"It's just a little kiss, thooogh!" He pouted. "No," She laughed. "Now, let's go before they start to worry"

She said leading him back into the ball room. He Led her onto the dance floor and reluctantly, they started to sway. Bodys moving in perfect harmony as though they were meant to dance to that song together. They looked up into each others eyes, smiling. He led her to the table, joining; Eddie, Jill, and Angeline.

Sydney looked at the menu with pure concentration. "Are you ready to order yet?" The waiter said impatiently. "Uhh... yeah" She said handing over the menu.

"I would like a double bacon cheese burger with thick cut fries, extra salt, chocolate milkshake, and... And extra mustard on the side" She noded, reassuring herself of her order. "are you sure?" Said the waiter grabbing all the menu's. "And... Oh, and a salad."

She said, without hesitating this time. "Okay, be right back" he said walking away. "wow..." Said Eddie wide eyed.

"what?" She said defensively. "Y-... you're actually going to eat all of that?!" He practically gasped. "Eddie!" Jill growled. "Hey, it's not a lot. I can eat WAY more than that. That's nothing." said Angeline matter-of-factly.

Andrian grinned with satisfaction. " she's going to share with me, aren't you, sage?" He said nudging her. "Nope." She smiled as the waiter brought their food back.

She dove into her plate of food hungrily as everyone watched; shocked.

Sydney walked through campus. It was around 1 am, so she headed to the gym to get some practice in. She stood in front of the wall. and the the volley ball at it. and started rushing back and forth- side-to-side to spike and hit the ball. she hadn't missed not one until she started feeling dizzy.

her stomach started to hurt as she stopped. "I shouldn't have eaten that much" She said grabbing water- but suddenly, the pain got more intense. "Ow" She murmured grabbing her stomach.

she fell to the floor. Clutching her aching lower stomach. "Oh my god" She cried out as the pain worsened. Tears started to flow down her cheeks as she reached for her gym bag.

"help me!" she gasped throught the pain. And then she noticed the blood. running down her thighs and onto the floor. "Oh-oh my god! " she screamed. and everything went black.

"Am I dead?" She thought.
