Chapter 2

Mina turned and ran out of the school. She ran across the parking lot, tripping over a speed bump. She lay on the cold cement road. She tried to get up but she just couldn't. Her heart ached. She didn't know how she could go on. Every breath she took hurt more and more as Jared's 'death' sank deeper into her heart. She looked up to see a car coming her way. She knew she should get up and move but she couldn't. It was as if she were paralyzed. She closed her eyes when she saw the car approaching. The last thing she remembered before she blacked out was warm arms around her.

"Mina. Wake up!" She heard Brody's voice. He was gently shaking her.

Mina slowly opened her eyes and looked around to see she was in Brody's car. There was a red blanket wrapped around her. She felt the warmth of the car seats sink into her skin and slowly dry her clothes. She looked at Brody and saw him gazing deeply into her eyes.

"Mina. What the hell is wrong with you! Are you trying to kill yourself?" Brody yelled obviously frustrated and concerned.

"Yes. No. I don't know. It just hurts so much. We were in love. I don't see the point..." Mina began. "Why do you even care?" Mina asked quietly noticing Brody wince when she said she loved Jared.

"Because your my... best friend. I don't want to see you hurt... or dead." Brody said.

"Well, Its none of your business. So stay out of it." Mina reached for the door handle.

"Wait... At least let me drive you home." Brody said desperately.

"Fine, but then I don't ever want to talk to you again." Mina said hesitantly knowing Jared wouldn't like her being around Brody.

They drove in silence. Mina looked out the window. She felt a tear slip down her cheek when they passed the forest her Jared got lost in last year. Mina thought back to the moment where they almost kissed. She wished they had. Maybe then they would've had more time. More time to be together, more time for Jared to make fun of Sir Nomer, but most importantly more time for them to love each other. She saw them approach her house. She missed her old home above a Chinese restaurant. She missed how every night when she would sit on her rooftop retreat and Jared would always appear and talk to her. Brody pulled up in the driveway. Mina instantly opened the car door and stepped out. Slamming the door behind her she walked up the patio steps. She turned to see Brody following her.

"Brody get out of here!" Mina yelled.

"No! I don't care if this makes you hate me but i'm not just going to let this go." Brody said firmly.

He pushed passed her and walked through the front door. Mina slowly trailed behind. He walked in the living room to see Sara sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Sara. I need to talk to you about Mina." Brody said seriously.

"Is she okay?" Sara asked with a worried look on her face.

"I"m fine!" Mina said as she entered the room.

"No your not!" Brody said loudly.

"Mina go check on Charlie." Sara said with an edge in her voice hinting that Charlie was back, safe and alive.

Mina instantly ran off to go find Charlie forgetting the fact that Brody was there. When she was out of the room Sara and Brody continued there conversation.

"Whats wrong with Mina? Sara asked concerned.

"She came to school today completely depressed. She was bawling her eyes out because of Jared's death." Brody began before being interrupted by Sara.

Jareds dead?" Sara asked.

"Yes. I thought you knew. Well, anyways she sat in the bathroom with Nan crying till the bell. When she walked out of the bathroom with Nan one of Jared's other close friends, Ever, came up and yelled at Miina and slapped her. Mina then ran out of the school. I followed her out and found her laying in the middle of the road. There was a car coming her way so I ran down and picked her up and brought her home. I just thought that you should know." Brody told Sara.

Sara's face turned pale. "Thank you for telling me Brody. I will deal with this. I think I need to talk to Mina alone." Sara said as she walked Brody to the door.

"Of course." Brody said smiling a sad smile.

Sara watched him to make sure he went to his car and left.

"Mina!" Sara called out loudly.

"I'm in my room." Mina called out with a sad tone.

Sara walked into Mina's room. "Mina I know your upset but that is not okay, how could you try and leave Charlie and I." Sara said with tears in her eyes.

"I didn't. I passed out... in the road." Mina began. "It's just not fair! He died saving Charlie and I. I want him back." Mina cried.

"I know Honey." Sara said as she hugged Mina.

"Why does life have to be so Grimm?"
