Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jess was suprised at Darius's sudden burst of energy that he was able to tell Lily what he did, but as he fell asleep, or went unconsious, Jess wasn't sure wich, she turned on Lily. "What happened Lily. I do not care what he said- You....you were there.....tell me the whole story." Jess could tell by the way Lily was looking, that she was not only feeling guilty, but she had also givin in to Jess's will. Perfect..... "Ya know what Lily. Nevermind I don't care what you have to say- if you really want to help Darius then Leave. Leave now and don't come back I will take care of him."

Darius slept for a short while, unaware of what had just transpired between Lily and Jess. He soon woke up from his slumber and looked around with his eyes. He saw Jess, but where was Lily?

Darius searched even harder with his eyes, his breath slow and steady. He did not see Lily anywhere. He turned his head slightly to look at Jess.

"Where is Lily?" he asked her.

Darius looked down at the ground and frowned. This was sadening, she left without saying goodbye? He felt that to be ccompletley unlike her. Lily would not do that, after all they had been through.

Darius then did something that would have been quite surprising given his condition. He placed his arms on the groun and weakly pushed himself up, using the tree as a prop. Darius was still very weak and wobled when he stood against the tree.

"Which way did she go?"

Jess looked alarmingly at Darius. "Dairus, Darius thats not important. Sit down.....please Darius sit down, you are not strong enough to go after her. Besides.....she left on her own terms.....it might not be smart to go after her." Jess put a gentle, but still firm hand on Darius's shoulder. She was truly worried for Darius's well being. "Really Darius, you need to sit, if not lay down, you need to biuld up your strength before you try anything."

Jess looked worriedly at Darius. "Darius, seriously this is not a good idea, you could hurt yourself pretty bad if you don't rest. Think about this, Lily will still be here tomorrow when you are better. There is no reason to put yourself in serious physical pain when you could find her when your better. I just don't understand why your doing this." Jess shook her head. She thought with Lily gone Darius would want to bond with her, but instead he gets up and very possibly could pass out from weakness or a number of others things that she didn't really want to think about at this time. All she knew is that she had to stop him. "Please Darius......if you care for Lily at all.....You'll let her go....really Darius, she left on her own accord." Jess sighed, not feeling a little bit of guilt for splitting Lily and Darius apart.

Finally Jess gave in. "Darius. Darius look at me. I can lead you right to her if you will just turn to look me in the eyes and hear me out. I know you didn't hear a word of what I just said, but I am comming clean right here right now." Jess hung her head searching her mind for the right words to tell him what she'd done. would he hate her? would he just accept it and move on? she didn't know, but what she did know is that for the first time in her life she had lost. Suprisingly though, she was almost relived that she had.

Jess took a deep breath. "The truth is Darius, I've been trying to get with you since the night in the Hotsprings. I did everything in my power to get you to like me and not Lily. Thats why I followed you to the boys section, and why I ''happened'' to meet up with you guys in the forest, and Lily knew what I was doing and thats how we ended up with the mud, she was trying to get me to stop trying to break you too up so that was totally my fault and you shouldn't be mad at her for that because I would have done the exact same thing, and when I saw that you were alseep I could see that Lily had given up fighting me because she blamed herself for whatever happened to you and so I----well I told her to leave, saying it was for the best......and she left. I am so sorry." Jess sighed and looked at Darius. "But I want to make things right, I will help you find and get back together with her in anyway I can." ((BBS))

Jess smiled. "Anything to help." She started towards him and knelt down beside him, picking one of his arms up and throwing it around her shoulder. She then stood slowly so Darius could lean on her but he still sort of stood on his own two feet. "She'll be in her dorm room by now..." Jess said as she began moving forward with Darius. "So you can either trust me to go and get her, or somehow figure out how to get past the andriods in order to get into the building. I'd suggest trusting me, but I know I've sorta lost that over the last couple days......"
