Jaden looked at the clock beside the bed. "Where is he? He said that he would be here."

"Jaden," Alexis' voice came from the doorway. He turned. "You need to take your meds."

"Where's Jesse?" he asked abruptly, facing the nurse.

Alexis was about to say something when her cell phone rang. Jaden watched her, feeling that it was Jesse, as she put the phone to her ear. "Why, it's none other than Prince Charming coming to save his prince from boredom," Alexis teased, winking at Jaden. "You're coming tomorrow? I could try. What time? Sure. Jaden would be glad to see you then."

When Alexis returned the phone, Jaden pouted cutely. "He's not coming over until then? Do you know when?"

The nurse chuckled. "I'm sure you can survive without Prince Charming," Alexis teased before walking out.

Jaden wrinkled his nose. "That girl needs to stop reading Yaoi mangas. It gives her bad ideas."

Jaden didn't mind people who were like that. Heck. His good friend Zane was going out with Aster. Jim was going out with Kenzan. Everyone has something precious in their life. Why is my life one big mistake? He thought to himself.

"You're selfish, Jaden," Cobra accused. "You know every choice you've made was for yourself, right?"

After taking his meds, Jaden smiled bitterly. "You're right, Cobra. I am selfish, huh?" With that, he lay down.

Jesse walked into the police station and looked around. He felt someone watching him. Jesse's eyes shifted to the right to see a young man with gray hair, pail smooth skin, and deep blue eyes. The young teen wore a fine business suit. Jesse quickly turned his gaze away and walked to the computer.

"Hey," the teen called out. Jesse turned to see the same young man that had been watching him. "You look familiar. What's your name?"

"It's Jesse Anderson. And no. I'm not related to Johan Anderson. I'm looking up Information about where she is."

Sryus blinked. "She's at the Dark Cemetery. That's all I can tell you."

Jesse flinched.That's where my sister is ...Hope drained from him.

"The poor mate hasn't been the same since that day," the Australian teen explained, coming out of the painful memory. "I tried my best to help after Johan died, but he refused to believe that she didn't make it."

"I see," Jesse sighed. "Thanks, Mr., uh.."

"Phoenix. Aster Phoenix. A detective." Aster watched Jesse walk out with slight suspicion in his eyes. Aster sighed. "Wait," he called out. Jesse turned. "Why do you want to know?"

"A friend of mine named Jaden -"

"Yuki," Aster finished. "You must be the one Syrus mentioned. I can see the resemblance, but Johan's eyes had a reddish tint."

Jesse nodded. "I reckoned you're one of Jaden's friends."

"More like an acquaintance of his. My boyfriend's little brother Syrus has more of a bond than mine."

"I see," Jesse sighed.It looks like a dead end here,he thought. "Thanks for your help, Aster." Jesse bowed with respect and walked toward the door.

Jesse felt someone staring at him. Startled, he saw a tall, muscular man standing right before him. The man had black hair and dark, cold, emotionless blue eyes. Everything he wore was black.

"Hey, Zany," Aster said. "I'm over here."

Zane moved aside and walked over to his boyfriend. "Who's the bitch over there," Zane asked, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder. Jesse froze when the word 'bitch' came out of his mouth.

Amusement flashed across Aster's eyes. "Jealous? Don't worry; he just wanted to know about Johan." Zane turned, but Jesse was already gone. "I think you scared him off," Aster chuckled.

Jesse sighed. He was not going back there again. He pulled out his rainbow-colored cell phone and called Alexis.

"Why, it's none other than Prince Charming coming to save his prince from boredom,"Alexis teased from the other line.

Jesse blushed. "Tell Jaden that I'm coming over tomorrow."

"You're coming tomorrow?"Alexis asked, hoping to get the Information right.

"Yeah," Jesse answered, walking to a small white limo. I went to the police station and tried to get Information on Johan, but I didn't get anything," he continued as he got into the back seat. But if I could look at some of your documents, I would appreciate it."

"I could try,"Alexis said.

"Thanks. Could you meet me at a coffee shop?"

"What time?" Alexis asked.

"How about in two hours?"

"Sure. And I tell Jaden that you're coming tomorrow."

Jesse nodded his head and put his phone away. He saw the reflection of the review mirror - a hopeful look in his one good eye. This limo driver was also Jesse's butler. He had long silver hair. His long bangs parted to one side and hung over his left eye. He wore a lovely red business suit.

The butler, Maximillion Pegasus, wanted to get the information right. "Where were you thinking of meeting Miss Rhodes?" he asked.

"A Coffee shop," Jesse answered, staring out the window.I hope I'm doing the right thing...
