"I'm... I'm sorry, Seth... And... I'm here because Mathieu is dead. I was called to ome, and then they told me it was too late." Jenna's eyes were tight as she sat there. As she spoke her voice become more monotone. "But... It doesn't hurt anymore... It happened today, but it doesn't... Hurt... Come meet me at the entrance. I need to get away from this death that surrounds me. It's numbing. I don't like that..." She stood as she spoke, already heading to the entrance. Her mouth was set in a thin, straigt line. "See you there..." Then she shut her Palm Pre shut and broke into a brisk jog. She was pretty far into the East Wing.

Mathieu? Dead? No way. Seth closed his iPhone, slid it back into his pocket, kissed Micayla gently on the cheek, then headed out the door. It took him only a few minutes to get to the entrance. Micayla's room was only on the 1st floor. Pretty dang close. As he reached the entrance, he instantly saw Jenna and pulled her into a tight hug. Kissing her friendly on the forehead, tears ran down his eyes. "Hii..." He murmured. "I'm so sorry."
Scottie smiled softly trying to be positive in this bleak time.Slowly she got up and walked to her car and bukled her seat belt before heading home. When she got back and walked in her mom was in the kitchen but she didn't ask where her daughter had been and Scottie was greatful.

"Well get there if its where we want to be and if not, well then I guess we never really lost anything in the first place."
Jenna smiled quietly and huged him back. "I'm so sorry, Seth... Today just came to a sudden halt for us, didn't it?" Her eyes were solemn as she looked up. His eyes were pouring tears ut they were distant as hers. And when she looked at the ground again, she said, "Can we go somewhere else?" Whenever I close my eyes I see him... On that bed..." her bod was racked with shudders as she thought of it. Being in a hospital was one thing, but memories that flooded your mind the instant a syllable was maimed? Priceless torture.

Dallas walked the whole way home and entered the door to his house as quitley as he could. His mother who was in the living looked over to him and beckoned her son to her with her hand. Dallas looked to the floor knowing she was going to talk to him about Johnny. Sitting down next to her she wiped her eyes and looked at him while trying to retain herself from crying again. "The police don't know who shot Johnny. They came to the house while you were out and asked about your brother's friends and people he didn't like. When they left they said they would to all they can, but today was a busy day and they can't start searching until tomorrow. They sent some dogs out when they had the persons scent but nothing came out, and they lost the man who shot your brother." Dallas listened to his mom and clenched his fists. If he ever found that guy he would do anything to get him back for what he did. Getting up Dallas began walking to the stairway to his room and stopped. "Mom...Im gonna go to school tomorrow, but if I can't take staying their the whole day, Im gonna leave." He looked back at his mother who nodded understanding. Walking up the stairs Dallas took a few paces inside his room and plopped head first on his bed. Nothing would be the same in the house.
Seth hugged Jenna again. "Of course," he murmured. He led her out the doors, determined to let her feel better. "Maybe you would want some ice cream?" He looked at the ice cream store across the street, and instantly felt bad. Micayla loved that ice cream shop. He would take her there on mini-dates, or whenever they felt like it. And they would often see Jenna and Mathieu there as well. "Or.. do you want to go to Starbucks?" Seth covered up his little mistake quickly.
Jenna flinched at the word ice cream but faintly smiled. "Starbucks would be nice. Caffeine would get my blood flowing, and wake me up." The Starbucks wasn't very far from the ice cream shop, but as they passed it, her eyes trailed it until she would have had to turn her head to see it. Before Micayla and Seth met, she and Micayla would hang there. Then, she would see Seth and her there, and she would go with her brother a lot when he got out of work. "I think... I'm just gonna get an iced coffee. With a lot of caramel." She breathed a shakey laugh as she spoke, and then looked at the sky. It was a clear sky -- no sign of clouds, and buildings hid the sun. It was awfully beautiful.

Seth smiled. "Fine by me." He kissed her gently, and held her hand. All he wanted was for Jenna to be happy. She experienced a lot of pain, Mathieu was the one there who helped her stop smoking and drinking. Like Seth was there for Micayla. He smiled a sad smile when he remembered the happy times the quartet would have together, laughing at the ice cream shop, buying clothes together at the mall... And it pained him that he would never do it again.
As they walked, Jenna used her free hand to pluck her Animal Rubberbands that went up and down about an inch on her wrist. Her brother had bought most of them for her. It was like a rainbow, theoretically since when she thought of them she thought of Mathieu... And he always made her smile. The bracelets on her other wrist, only ten at most, were made by people, mostly by her brother's girlfriend, Delilah. Oh. Delilah. "I wonder if she knows," Jenna whispered aloud. Then she shook her head absentmindedly and kept walking. She would find out soon enough, when the two of them were planning the funeral. A shudder ran up and down her spine as she thought of it. Knocking it to the back of her mind, she looked at the sky once more, then finally noticed they had stopped in front of the Starbucks. "Oh, we're already here," she said in a distant voice. She didn't want to tell Seth how much she appreciated him doing this. She and Micayla were good friends, but she didn't know Seth as well as Micayla, but she knew he might feel hurt if she asked him to stop.
