Hey Purrfictionist here! Here is Chapter Three. If anyone noticed, the last chapter accidently went in as Chapter Three instead of Chapter Two. Hahaha, laugh all you want, I know it's totally unpurrfictionist of me. I'll change it soon . Please read and review! I want more than on review if you guys want me to post the next chapter!

Chapter Three
Jillian
A Dagger To The Heart
A strange heavy cloud wraps around my body as I roll over in my bed. A strange, foreign taste fogs my mouth and my eyes flutter open as I glance at the clock. It's only six o'clock in the morning. I can make it in time for first period if I sleep in for another thirty minutes. I pull the covers over my head again and feel myself being pulled into a deep sleep.
Loud music fills the air and I feel my bed shaking from the loud beats. Voices low and high ring through my ear and I hear something scratchy in the distance.
"No," I moan pulling my pillow over my head. "Make it go away."
A warm hand gently shakes my shoulder and I let out a growl.
"Go away," I groan.
"Jill, you have to get up now if you want to make it in time for school," a familiar high pitched voice says.
"Ten more minutes,"
I hear in an impatient sigh and the sound of a door slamming close. I let out a small sigh as the room fills with a beautiful silence. My eyes flutter close again when I hear loud screaming. I moan and start to sob.
"I want to sleep," I whisper. "I wanna sleep please, please Adrian."
Of course he couldn't hear me; the bond was only one way. The loud music and the screaming continued until my ears start ringing, and my body turns numb. My occasional tears turn into loud, ear piercing screeches and body shaking sobs and after few minutes, my eyes finally start to shut close when someone starts knocking at the door.
"Jill?" she screams. "Jill open the door now, it's me Sydney!"
I inhale sharply and sit up in bed to look at the time. It's twelve o'clock in the afternoon?! Oh God, I thought sitting up. I quickly run to the bathroom and splash my face with water before racing to the door. I unlock the door and step aside as it swings open to reveal a very concerned Sydney.
"Where were you?" she says looking into my eyes and then stops herself. "Jill did you get any sleep, you have bags under your eyes."
"Of course I slept, why wouldn't I sleep?" I ask her.
Sydney winces and steps away from me. "Have you been drinking?" she whispers.
I shake my head and close my mouth immediately. Crap. She narrows her eyes, catching on quickly.
"It was Adrian wasn't it?" she says. "That's it; I'm tired of watching him drink all night and never thinking once about how it affects you. He has to learn to stop being so selfish."
I grab her arm as she turns around on her heals. "And exactly why is he getting drunk Sydney? Have you ever though that you would be the reason?"
Sydney freezes.
"I saw Sydney; you couldn't hide it from me anyhow."
"Jill I did what I had to do," she says defending herself. "You know that."
My eyes start to burn and I feel tears run down my wet cheeks as I look into her eyes.
"You did what you were told to Sydney, you did what your book of rules told you to, you didn't do what your heart said!" I yell.
This knocks her out. She grabs her arm from me as if I was some insect, and turns away from me, locking herself into that very same shell she was in when I first met her.
"Just go get ready Jillian, I'll go pull some strings," Sydney says walking away.
I close the door hard behind her and run to the bathroom. I turn on the tap and push my face into the cold, icy water. I can hear Adrian's moans and practically see the corner of the bar, isolated from everyone with his head on his table, his body shaking.
"Oh Adrian," I whisper as I turn of the tap. I look into the mirror and take in the stranger in the mirror. "I'm sorry."

I walk down the halls of the California Academy and shrug off my jacket. It's a lot warmer than it was yesterday night, very typical of California. I start to open my locker to get my math textbook when someone grabs me from behind and pulls me into the shadows. A scream rushes up my throat and I turn around to find that the hallway is empty. There's no one in this room except me.
I swallow and quickly open my locker and grab my textbook, slam the locker shut and race out of the locker room. I run down the hallway and bump right into someone with a very familiar red t-shirt.
I gasp and step back to look into Micah's sky blue eyes.
"Jill?" Micah says. "Are you ok?"
"I'm ok," I tell him.
Micah looks at me concerned but doesn't say anything as he holds the door of my math class room open for me.
"Aren't you coming in?"
I nod and look over my shoulder to see if anyone had followed me and nod. "Yeah," I say.
I start to step into the math classroom when my eyes flicker over to the corner of the hallway where a very tall figure stands over a much smaller one. Both figures are very recognizable, especially the tall one. It's Eddie and Angeline. I can see Eddie bending down to Angeline saying something that's clearly making her happy enough to squeal loud enough as she throws her arms around Eddie's neck.
"Jill, what's wrong?" Micah asks gently touching my arm.
My heart starts to thud louder as I watch Eddie's face tilt towards Angeline's pretty face. My hands start to shake by my side as I turn away from them and race into the classroom without looking back at Micah or Eddie and Angeline.
