Jade's POV.It's blood! It's blood! I backed off to the door in fright. His shirt was slowly getting soaked. "Kayden, Your arm!" I called him with my body shivering.He groaned and managed to pack the car by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. "Kayden!" I called in shock.Oh my God! What is happening? Who should I call? Oh my God! Kayden! I knew that if I didn't do something it would be worse and worse still, he was losing some blood. Oh my!I rushed to his side and took the seat belt away from his body. "Kayden!" I called again. I was afraid of touching how. I don't even know what was happening.I took hold of my hair and roughen it like a madman, I didn't know what to do. I just kept crying."Damn! It's a fucking bullet!" Kayden groaned.A bullet? No, no, no. I began to panic and wiggled in my seat. I was almost stricken with cardiac arrest, but if I give way for that, who will save Kayden then?I should be brave! I thought but I wasn't. "Kayden!" I cried more. "Please K

Jade's POV.I saw his eyes, they were blazing with anger and I saw Kayden on the bed fighting for his life, "You!" He thundered, "You want to kill my son!"I couldn't move, I don't know what was happening but I knew I was traumatized. I stared at Kayden, he was not moving anymore, I wanted to tell the man in front of me to check on him but I couldn't, I was stable like I was under a spell, his spell and he was not ready to let me go.Somehow, he got to find out that Kayden was not moving again, I watched fearfully as he stomped towards him and checked his pulse. Turning his eyes to me, it was blazing with fire, "You are happy right?! You kill him! You kill my son! My heir! You killed him!" He began to stomp back to me with a devilish smile on his face, "I will show you how much dying hurts!" He jerked me up to my feet and I screamed at the highest pitch of my voice with my eyes closed and hands blocking my ears."Ah!""Jade!" A distant voice called but it was faint, my scream was supe

Jade's POV.I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. I know I had said that I would just watch but seeing him now, I knew there were a lot of things I wanted to say to him and a lot of things I wanted to do. I miss him so much.I remained on that spot, watching him coming closer to me, his head was fixed on the floor and he had guards beside him. I knew that if he raised his head, he would see me, so I waited. Just when my prayer was getting answered and he was raising his head to look at me, I was forcefully dragged away from his presence to a dark spot that I didn't know existed in the hospital, not like I knew anywhere in the hospital, but I just thought that somewhere that dark was not supposed to be in the hospital.I looked up at who dared to drag me and saw his father, I should have known, he was still right behind me and he must have found out who I was even with my hours of doing the disguise. "Why am I not surprised to see you? I know you even with all these dark shades

Kayden's POV.I was lying down on my bed with my eyes fixed on the colored bob in my room. I had to go to school, I know, but I couldn't find the strength to get out of bed to start dressing up, not when I knew that I would not be able to talk with Jade, my Jade. That alone was killing me. Dad was still unable to get the person that shot at us and that is a million and one reason why I have to avoid her. Being with me was trouble, sometimes, one just has to get hurt to keep the person he loves safe. I'm protecting her with everything in me.I rolled over my bed to face the side of my room and I remember the time we were returning from the karaoke, she had said that there was something in the woods, what if the shooter had decided to shoot her because she noticed him? Maybe the bullet must have gone through her blood and, and...... No, God forbid! I quickly rebuke the thought, she cannot die on me, never! That was why I had to protect her with everything in me.I had intentionally told

Jade's POV.I rushed out of my room and at the same time strapped my bag on my shoulders. I met my parents in the kitchen, "I have to go now, bye Mom, and you too Dad." I pecked their cheeks."Better get to talk to that boy before you think of returning here in the afternoon," Mom told me, anger was slightly showing in her voice and I gasped."Mom!""Don't mind your mother, she is still very angry that you left the serving for her to attend to Kayden's friends yesterday, you should have known her by now. Now, run along, so that you won't be late." Dad said to me."Thanks, Dad." I pecked Mom's cheek again and watched her trying to hide her smile. I chuckled and ran out of the house. I flapped down a cab and entered, after calling the name of my school to the cab driver, he drove off.I got to school and the first place I ran to was the parking lot, I went to check if Kayden's car was there but none of the cars in the parking lot looked like his. Maybe he is not in school yet, or bette

Jade's POV.It was a few days after Kayden's words of avoiding me and I just realized that he was dead serious. He meant it. For the past few days in school, he had been avoiding me badly and he even missed classes before he didn't want to see me. His reason must be really serious. I texted him every minute and he refused to reply to my messages, though he read them, I'm sure he did, he just didn't reply to them, also, my calls, he didn't pick up any of it and it was frustrating.Then, there is Athena, who challenged me would get Kayden back, she never meant a second in school to laugh at my face, especially the times that I would be chasing Kayden behind and he would turn a corner and just disappear, or mix with the crowd. I was almost going insane and can't he see that I was becoming distracted?I remember when I was been questioned in class, for the first time in my life, I couldn't answer a question, I knew the answer, but at that moment, my head was blank, I almost spilled it ou
