“Wha…” the half a word I manage to get out hurts my head.

“Shhh, I’ve got you.” His voice travels over me and warms my body which is cold to my bones.

I grab my head. It’s thumping, making it hard to open my eyes. But even with my eyes closed, I can feel Jacobi’s arms around me and imagine the worried look on his face.

“I’m gonna take you to the nurse. This has to be connected to the accident.”

His words cause me to remember everything that’s happened. I push his arm away.

“No, you can’t be spotted with me. Taya wouldn’t like it,” I say, spitting out her name.

Carefully, I open my eyes and see the concern in his. He stares so hard at the floor I think it might burst into flames from his intensity.

Feeling guilty, I slip my palm onto his cheek. “It’s okay,” I whisper, a tear slipping from my eye.

A muscle in his cheek jumps, proving he knows I’m right; he can’t be seen with me. “Stay here, I’ll get someone to help you,” he orders.

I nod, letting another tear escape. His eyes hold a sheen of their own as he gently places me in a chair and tenderly kisses my head. “I do love you. Not because of our connection, but because you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever known, inside and out,” he tells me, then turning, he walks out the room before I can reply, before I can tell him I think he’s beautiful too. Another wave of tears run free.

A few moments later, Emmie runs in with James and Sebastian hot on her heels.

“What happened?” she shrieks.

“Shhh,” I complain, holding my head.

“Oh, sorry.” She comes to sit next to me. “Jacobi came to find me. He said I needed to get you to the nurse. What the hell is going on with you two?”

I shrug. “Hell if I know.”

“You two are weird.”

I nod, unable to say anything else. Emmie helps me to my feet and steers me out the door.

“Hey, what’s this?” I hear Sebastian ask James as I leave.

“Who knows, probably an assignment,” James replies.

“He loves you, you know that right?” Emmie whispers to me.

I open my mouth to say I do know how much he loves me, but then I spot them. Jacobi and Taya across the hall. She has her hands on his chest and is trying to lick his neck by the looks of it. His sad eyes are glued to mine, but the pain which slices through my chest almost brings me to my knees, so I do the only thing I can, I look away.
