*Tom's POV*

I am kinda glad that Jordan got distracted with Andor's accident thing. It gives me more time to figure out how I am going to tell him how we crashed. I can't lie to him, it would break his heart and ruin my chances with him. I am going to tell him now.

I push the button that calls the nurse into my room. "Yes, Tom?" "I am going to go visit Jordan, is that okay?" I ask Maddi. "Sure! Go on ahead." She smiles and opens the door for me. I nod a thank you and head to Jordan's room.

I open the door slowly. "Jordan, I need to tell you something." "What is it Tom?" Jordan looks at me. I can't help but to stare into his big, brown eyes. "I- I- I came to say that... I know how we crashed. I remember." Jordan widens his eyes and waits for me to continue.

"We were driving and listening to Darude Sandstorm. I made you laugh and looked away from the road. I saw headlights and before I could shout it out to you, we had already crashed. We flew out the car and landed in a ditch. The driver in the other car died. I thought you were dead. Once I heard you call me, I had hope fill my chest. Then we linked hands and I tried to keep them together. I figured that if we linked hands, then you would feel safer. Then you blacked out and I did the same a few seconds later." I tell him. Tears are running down my face like a waterfall. Jordan has my hand in his and he just smiles at me. "Why don't you hate me? I was the cause of the crash! You could have died because of me!" I cry out. Jordan leans over to me and wraps me into a hug. "We are alive now, aren't we?" I nod. "Then it shouldn't matter what happened then. It will be just another scar one day. You will remember what happened, but it shows that you overcame it."

I pull out of the hug and stare at Jordan. I look down at his lips, I feel that they are pulling me to them. He leans closer to me. I close my eyes and put my hand on his neck. Jordan goes down to my height and brushes his lips against mine. "Do you want this?" He asks me in a husky voice. "I have never wanted anything more in my life." I reply. I pull Jordan closer to me and push my lips against his. He kisses me back hungrily. I trail light kisses down to his neck. Jordan lets out a light moan. I suck on his neck as he runs his hands through my hair.

We hear a crash behind us and jerk our heads to the noise. But Maddi is already running out the door. "Crap." I hear Jordan whisper. "I should go back to my room." I say awkwardly. Jordan nods and I quickly leave.

*Jordan's Pov*

I sat at the edge of my bed until I hear someone come in. "Hey Jordan." Andor says in a happy tone. "Hey." I can't meet his eyes. I know we don't have anything special going on, but it feels wrong what I just did. It's like I betrayed Andor in some way.

"What's wrong, Jordan?"

"Nothing." I say and put on a smile.

"Okay. So I found out that you will be leaving in exactly one week. They don't think you're stable enough to be out on your own yet. Isn't that great?" I notice Andor is floating. "How are you floating?" I ask him. Andor looks like he is cautious for a moment before smiling. "It's my wings. I start to 'float' when I am excited for something." This puts a real smile on my face.

"You don't have to hide your wings." I tell him. He smiles and begins to take off his Doctor's Coat. His wings are a beautiful, deep purple. I stare in awe as he 'floats' a few feet in the air. "Maybe one day I can take you with me to fly around the world." Andor says. "How would I travel with you?" "I could possibly figure something out to where you have your own pair of wings." "Really?!?" It would be amazing to travel around the world with Andor, especially with wings!

"This is random, but I heard Maddi left early today. Do you know why?" Andor asked me. This is where I have a decision. I could be honest with Andor, or I could lie.

*Maddi's Pov*

I walk to the dock and sit. I come here to think. If that would've been Andor, lord knows what he would've done. I'm only 13, so everyone says I don't understand love. They may be correct but I do understand Andor. He's my best friend, my only friend. People look at me and see my brother. Jasper, he was killed in front of me because if his religion. I'm gonna talk to Jordan or maybe even Tom. One of them, I'm not sure what I'm gonna say but I know the words will come. Since the queens death things have been different. Helgrind is harsh, the churches are becoming more and more hateful towards other gods. I don't have a god. I don't have to have one, yet. I'm not sure who I want to choose. My mom wants me to choose the god Andor does. She really looks up to Andor. I fear he follows Ianite. Not because I don't trust in Ianite, but for his safety. I start back towards the hospital. If I can't talk to Jordan, I'll talk to Tom.

Short walk time skip

I walk into Tom's room, causing him to jolt out of a gaze. "We need to talk." I say sitting next to his hospital bed. "You saw nothing. Here me! Snitch on me or Jordan to...." I cut him off,

"Think you can scare me off? Well you're wrong."

"Excuse me!"

"Andor loves Jordan. And if you get between them.... I'll....." My voice trails off. 'Dianite will kill you all!' Tom's threats ring in my mind.

"You'll what, tell your daddy on me!?"

"My dad's dead."

"Nice try. It's like people saying yo momma. So your gonna tell your dad..."

"Tom! My dad was murdered just after my brother was killed for worshiping Ianite! Believe me now!" I yell shutting Tom up.

"Oh I'm sorry."

"Now listen to me! I will make sure everyone knows your little Dianite incident. And I mean everyone!"

"I'm so scared! I saw Jordan first. What's mine is mine. Sorry kid. Besides your too young to understand any of this anyways. Speaking of why aren't you in school?"

"I was taken out after Jasper's death. Kids can be cruel you know." My voice falls silent. So does the room. I leave at that. I feel tears coming but I quickly blink them away. I don't cry. Dad wouldn't approve, nor would Jasper.
