I've Created the Sound of Maddness wrote the book on pain but I'm still here to Explain....

Dima: I walked into Myra's room silently, closing the door without a sound. I walked up behind her and gave her a hug, making sure i wouldnt mess up her painting as i hugged her. I kissed her cheek and kept her in my arms.

Myra: I set down my paint brush and leaned back into Dima's arms. I looked down at my hands as I spoke. "I'm sorry...I should have been more...aware of Ember's condition...I should have cared about it more..."

Dima: "It's not your fault. I shoudnt have expected you to know about it. You cant be everywhere at once. No one can." I sighed.

Myra: "But it wasn't because I couldn't be there. You know that I can multi task," I laughed bitterly, then bit my lip. I then said quietly "I'm jealous of all the attention you give her."

Dima: "She's only like a sister to me." I told her. "Thats all ember will ever be. Trust me."

Myra: "Well, okay," I said and turned, so I could wrap my arms around Dima's neck and kiss him.

Dima: I pulled away from the kiss and smiled at her. "You were jelous. of Ember?" I asked, smirking lightly.

Myra: "Yes," I looked at the floor and toed the carpet, biting my lip again.

Dima: "HEy, you're the only girl for me." I told her, lifting her chin and kissing her cheek.

Myra: "I l-" But I stopped myself. No, I couldn't say those three words. I couldn't be Dependant - that was why I had left my parents. Saying 'I love you' was like...giving up or something. I wouldn't do it. I silently turned back to my painting, but smiled at his comment.

Dima: "See you later. I have a herd of teenagers to feed." I laughed lightly, leaving the room. What was she going to say?"

Myra: "Bye," I sighed. I was glad Dima hadn't recognized what I was painting. It was a picture of me and him, on the roof, sitting on the bench, during the sunset. Well, our silhouettes.

Ember: I glanced at reese as he left and got up, following after him.

Reese: "Stalking me are you?" I smirked when I heard footsteps, and turned around to see Ember.

Ember: I looked at the ground. "I...I feel like i owe some kind of explaination...but i dont honestly know what to say anymore." I muttered.

Reese:"well, you could start by explaining who Jay is"

Ember: "A..i guess you could call him a friend from my past." I glanced around the hall way. We were alone, but i didnt feel like explaining this in the middle of the hall.

Reese:I silently led her into my room, then pointed at the desk chair so she'd sit and explain.

Ember: "He took care of me when my dad had his...moments. Told me he would never leave. He....My mom died and he left. I had no one left. So you could say he had something to do with my dad."

Reese:"It doesn't sound like you should Hate him," I said honestly

Ember: "He left. That was enough of a reason."

Reese: "Well, why did he leave?"

Ember: "I dont know. He just picked up and left. THe first time i saw him in years was earlier today." DIdnt write, didnt call, didnt even care anymore.

Reese:"were you, uh, together? Like, you know..."

Ember: I blushed lightly and nodded. "YEah."
