Last time.... she got a text message from brian (mr.m)
Hey Jasmine,wanna go out for dinner tomarrow night?
-------------------------
She was speechless. Didn't they just have this coversation,(well more like she had it with herself in her head but still...) and now all of a sudden he's asking her out. So she started typing back.
sure.what time do you- then she remebered jade. She couldn't just leave her. Could she?
uhh...mabye I have a guest staying here but if she doesn't mind then sure!. She closed her phone and went back to making food for her and jade. The house was quiet for a while and then she thought she heard crying. She was curious so she walked to the room jade was in and checked on her. When she walked in she found jade sitting on the bed with her knees pulled up to her chest and sobbing. She quickly walked over and sat down beside her, pulling her into a hug. "What's wrong?" She asked. She sobbed some more before answering."my mom is gone,my dad is gone. My step dad doesn't want me and I might never get to see my sister again! I have no place to go, after I leave her ill probaly be put into foster care and placed in a group home..." she cryed some more. Mrs.l felt so bad for this poor girl.
She hushed her."shhh....you can stay here for as long as you want to ok?" She looked up at her,with a glimer of hope in her eyes. "Really?" "Really,now let's get some food ok?" They walked down the hall and jade sat at the table, mrs.l came over and handed her a plate of pizza. They sat in silence for a while, occacinally a glance at the other but no words. Finally jade broke the silence. " I really do appericiate you letting me stay her.I was probaly going to sleep at the police station until my cps worker came and got me in the morning...and I just have to ask you one question. Why? Why did you invite me to come stay with you, I'm nothing but trouble..." mrs.l looked at her for a minuete before speaking. "Jade, you are troubled, yes. But I see a lot of potential in you. Your smart, talented, and I know somewhere inside you, you want to do something with yourslef. I don't want to see you get shipped off to some foster home and ruin that." Sh e was shocked to hear some one belived in her even when she didn't belive in herself. "Thank you." Was all she could manage to say. "So jade can I ask you something?".
"Sure.".
"Well mr.m sent me a message asking me out tomarrow night and if it was ok with you I was wondering if I could-" she was cut off. "Go.have a good time. It'll be cool to have my favorite teachers dating."
"Ok.thanks." the rest of the night was spent talking about themselves. After a hour or so they both headed off to bed. Jade put her ipod headphones in her ears and drifted off to kelly klarckson...
------------------------------
The next morning she woke up.confused of where she was and then the memories of the previous night came flooding back to her. She brushed her hair and walked out to the kitchen where mrs.l was making breakfast.
"Good morning!" Mrs.l said smiling sweetly at her.
"Morning..." mrs.l took notice of what she was wearing. Hot pink pajama pants and a white tank top. She looked differnt with her black everything. "What?" She asked as she noticed her looking at her.
"You just look differnt with everything black..."
"Oh..yeah. sometimes even goths need a break from all the blackness. I guess I like black cause it feels like a escape. When everything is dark nothing can disturb you, its like your surrounded by something you can't see so you make it your own world."
"Fair enough." They both laughed. They sat down at the table and ate, and jade had to ask.
" are you nervous, about tonight I mean?"
"Actually to tell the truth? Extremley. I never felt like this about another guy before and I'm scared I'm gonna mess it up..."
"Trust me I've been head over heels for a guy before. You know aaron rose?". "Yeah, he's in your class period right?"
"Yeah well I was in love with him, but then me and jason started dating and I just feel something for him I never felt for aaron. Kinda lime your ex husband. You love the person but just not the way you love the other.." she thought for a moment before adding "and you'll find out who you really wanna be with one day, mabye that's tonigjt."
-------------------------
It was around 6:30, her date started at seven. She had chosen a tan shirt with a long gold chain necklace, and a darker shade of tan to go over top. She also wore a pair of white pants and aair of mary janes, her favorite heels." She walked out of her room and went to the guest room to say by to jade. "Hey I'm about to leave, I left my phone number on the fridge, call if somethings wrong.ok? Oh! And since I'm gonna be out I'm probally gonna be full be the time I get back so help yourself to anything in the fridge."
"Ok have fun on your date. She stressed the word "date".
"Its not a date its two friends haveing dinner together."
"Say what you want but its a dat."
"Bye jade!"
"Bye." She said as she walked out the door.

I wonder, sometimes, if she ever thinks of me.
If she knows that I kept only one picture of her. Anything else was just too painful. In the picture, she doesn't know I am taking it until the camera flash goes off. She has been sitting at the desk in her old bedroom, and she is half-smiling.
**************************************************
I walk up to her, not breaking eye contact. Nothing existed but her.
The little girl was perched on her hip.
I trailed my fingers down her jawline. She still didn't move.
"Why did you leave?"

Time is just a thing.
You can't ever have to little.
You can always have enough.
But when you look at it,
our lives are just a piece.
A piece of what time has to give.
So why not live the fullest,
to what we can.
Why waste it wishing,
on something you'll never have.
Let time do its own thing,
so we can do ours.
You see time is mysterious.
It controls our lives.
And in one quick second,
our time may be up.
So take what you're given,
and give nothing back.
With time nothing is ever what it seems.
You can't ever have to little.
You can always have enough.
But when you look at it,
our lives are just a piece.
A piece of what time has to give.
So why not live the fullest,
to what we can.
Why waste it wishing,
on something you'll never have.
Let time do its own thing,
so we can do ours.
You see time is mysterious.
It controls our lives.
And in one quick second,
our time may be up.
So take what you're given,
and give nothing back.
With time nothing is ever what it seems.

I'm just drifting, drifting down this road.
The dust kicking up behind me,
Just a cloud to hide my past.
My feet don't leave any footprints,
My name never graces those lips
That I'm watching from a distance,
A distance that grows greater
As I'm drifting, drifting down this road.
I'm not on the way to anything great,
I'm just hiding, hiding down in the dark.
The shadows closing in around me,
Just a blanket to smother my past.
My eyes can't see in the gloom,
My voice never breaks the silence
That I keep deep in my heart,
A heart that grows blacker
As I'm drifting, drifting in the dark.
