Hey Guys! This chapter is kind of a spacer before a lot of drama in the next few. Last night it was like I got hit by an idea truck or something so I've been spitting out chapters like crazy! You guys are going to love these next few chapters because its going to be so action packed! I'm so excited. Like I said this is just the calm before the storm so bear with me as I get everything set up for all the exciting stuff to come. I tried to do a majority of this chapter in Jordi's point of view because we all know that Bee has feelings for him but I wanted you guys to have little peek inside his head just to see how he feels about this whole situation. Without further hesitation here is Chapter Fourteen: I'll Save Myself.

Jordi's POV

"I-I need some air." Bee says before rushing out of the room. Everyone is silent, we are all completely shocked.

"What should we do?" Emma asks meekly.

"We should probably go and check on her" Leo answers, he's always trying to play hero. "Yo man. She just needs her space. Leave her be, she needs to cool off. If we go bother her it might just make her even more upset."

"No it won't." Leo scoffs. "It's better than just sitting here. We need to show support, even if she rejects it." Dash and Leo begin arguing with Emma trying to mediate it.

"I'm going to go find her." I speak up. "Just me."

"Jordi, do you really think that's such a good idea? Especially after what happened today?" Leo asks carefully, Emma nods alongside him.

"You told me I need to play Prince Charming and now is the best time! Let me do this," I look out at my friends. Leo exchanges glances with Emma before sighing.

"Go on." He sighs. "Text us when you find her." I nod before getting up to go find her.

Time skip

I've probably been searching for 20 minutes now with still no luck, I'm starting to get nervous. I've already stopped to ask Kenjii and Nurse Jackson if either of them have seen her but they haven't. I guess Nurse Jackson's been searching too. I come up to the X-ray room where Brittany is pacing nervously.

"Have you seen Bee?" We both ask at the same time. "No that's why I'm asking you." We both say again.

"She was just here a minute ago!" Brittany cries. "I sat down with her and just asked if she wanted to talk or get ice cream and then she ran off! Nurse Jackson is going to kill me, she already thinks I can't do anything right this is just going to push her over the edge."

"Woah, Brittany, calm down. I'm pretty sure Nurse Jackson isn't going to kill her. I've just started looking, you have a whole nother set of eyes to help you! Just don't worry okay? I'll text you when I find her." I tell Brittany. She takes a slow breath.

"Okay, I'm going to keep searching." She walks off down a hallway, wringing her hands nervously. There's only one last place I can think to check.

Time skip.

"We all knew you would be here." I chuckle approaching the secluded table Bee is sitting at in the Cafeteria. She tilts her head so her hair is covering her face.

"How's that?" She asks. She sounds normal but I can tell she is just trying to cover up for her disheveled appearance.

"Ice cream is your best friend when you're sad." I laugh sitting down across from her.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." She let's out a small laugh. I slowly reach across to brush the hair out of her face. "Oh God Jordi I look awful." She whines bringing her hands up to cover her face. I laugh and pull them away.

"You look beautiful, as always." I charm getting a small smile out of her.

"What are you doing here?" She asks.

"Everyone's been looking for you. I'm just the lucky one who actually found you." I grin.

"I didn't think anyone would care that much." She mumbles.

"That's so not true." I laugh. "Brittany was almost in tears she felt so awful."

"Oh man now I feel bad." She cries.

"Don't. I'll text everyone to tell them I found you." I say pulling out my phone.

"I don't want anyone to see me like this." She moans.

"I said I'd text them to tell them I found you, not WHERE I found you." I reply with a wink. This gets a small smile from Bee. I'm so happy that the awkwardness is behind us but now I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells to try and impress her. She's a closed book, I never really know what she's thinking. I hit the send button and look back up at Bee.

"You wanna talk?" I ask carefully

"To them?" She scoffs. "No way. But to you, I guess I can make an exception." If someone telling you they'd rather talk to you over anyone else doesn't make you smile I don't know what does. I lean forward listening carefully. She is quiet for a moment pondering what to say. "I don't like my roommate." She finally states blankly. I kind of expected more from her but regardless baby steps are as good as any

"Me either." I roll my eyes. Something in her face changes and she's smiling at me again.

"You don't?" She asks

"No, she's got an attitude and acted like a complete brat to you earlier." I answer trying to play to her side. "Some first impression huh?" I scoff.

"You don't think I was too hard on her?" She asks sadly.

"No way!" I exclaim. "She got what she deserved."

"I've just never really been a mean person before, I was so embarrassed for you guys to see me like that, that's why I ran off." She lowers her head.

"I wouldn't be embarrassed." I console. "I know I was surprised seeing you like that but your outburst showed there's more to you than what meets the eye. You're a mystery Phoebe Johnson. As intriguing as it is, I want to know everything about you. I've never been very good at puzzles" Oh God I'm rambling now. I shake my head. "Sorry I just got so off topic."

"No, thank you." Bee smiles. "I know sometimes I can be kinda, under-wraps but this is all such a new experience for me. It's going to be tough to learn how to open up and let others in. I've always been so used to being there for others that I don't know how to act when the opposite occurs." She stammers a little bit, obviously this is one of those occasions she is trying to open up, I just have to be patient. It's weird, I have this sense of admiration aside from my crush to watch her overcome her obstacles. I've never felt this way before but I think it just makes me like Bee even more.

"Don't worry okay. I'm here to help you through this. Just consider me your Prince Charming." I give her a smile but she doesn't return one. She is silent for a moment but I can tell something is trying to force her way out of her mouth.

"Here's the thing though Jordi." She finally sighs. "I don't want anyone to 'save' me. I want you guys to stand by my side as I save myself." I take this statement in slowly. There's so much meaning behind it I know that it's not something she's just come up with off the top of her head, it's something she's been wanting to say for a while. Before I can say anything in reply Bee's gaze turns to the other side of the room. I follow her stare to see Nurse Jackson marching over towards us.

"Oh man." Bee groans tilting her head again so her hair is in her face again.

"Phoebe." Nurse Jackson scolds before sighing. "Jordi, do you mind leaving Bee and I alone to talk please." I look over to Bee who immediately looks anxious. I reach over the table to pat her hand.

"It'll be okay Bee. Just text me when you're done and we will meet up." I get up slowly from the table but as soon as I'm out of the cafeteria I take off back to The Swamp.

Bee's POV

Oh man oh man oh man. Nurse Jackson takes a seat where Jordi was previously.

"Look," I say without raising my gaze from the white table. "I'm really not in the mood for a lecture."

"I'm not going to lecture you Phoebe." Nurse Jackson replies quickly.

"Wait, you're not?" I ask snapping my gaze up.

"No Bee. I'm not going to lecture you. As hard as it is to believe, I genuinely do care about you just like every kid here. I want to check with you to make sure you're alright, not to yell at you about your actions." This surprises me. All along Nurse J has been an authoritative figure, I always thought that she was only around to keep us in line, to enforce the rules. I never really believed anyone when they told me she wasn't actually a scary bitch. Maybe she does have a soft side after all, I like it. I wonder if she has any kids, she'd probably make a great mom.

"I don't know what happened." I admit quietly. "I've never lost control like that before, I feel like an idiot."

"I know you didn't want a roommate Phoebe but I didn't expect you to lash out like that." Nurse Jackson admits sadly.

"There's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way! I have no idea what it is though." I answer in truth.

"Well you better find out soon because Dr. Heart called a meeting with both of you."

I hope you all see what I meant when I said this is just a set up for the chapters to come. Tell me what you guys think about the different points of view, I know I've tried to do this in some previous chapters but I never really knew if it was a good idea or not. Also in the last chapter I talked about doing QOTC so this chapter's question is: Do you guys think Bee and Ivy should be friends or not? Let me know below you guys' opinions!

Lots of Love - Britt
