Jade's stepmother yelled from downstairs, "Jade, you have a list of chores to do! Come get the list!" Jade stopped strumming the strings of her guitar and set it gently on her bed, as if it were very delicate. She jogged down the wooden staircase and into the kitchen. Her stepmother stood with her hands on her hips, wearing a bathing suit. "Going out in the pool?" Jade asked, knowing the answer. "Duh," her stepmother answered with attitude. Jade picked up a stack of papers on the counter and jogged back up the stairs. She walked into her room and shut the door. She read aloud the first chore, "Paint the pool pink." Jade groaned and plopped on her bed. Sissy, Jade's stepmother's dog, jumped on Jade's bed beside Jade. Sissy loved Jade more than anyone in the house, and Jade could say the same about Sissy. Jade held the paper infront of Sissy's face, "Look at this." Sissy acted like she was reading it, then looked up at Jade. Jade shook her head and asked Sissy, "If you could speak, would you scream?"

Leah, one of Jade's stepsisters, busted into the room and picked Sissy up, "Is Jade being mean to you? I know, I know." Jade rolled her eyes, "You know that you're talking to your own kind, right?" She tilted her head slightly and smirked. Leah gasped and walked out of the room, chin in the air. Jade pushed herself off the bed and, again, jogged down the stairs. She quickly grabbed a pen and pad of paper. She wrote on it:

Gone to get groceries.
-Jade

She dropped the pen and pad down on the counter and ran out the door, closing it behind her as quietly as possible.

The fresh air flowed through Jade's lungs. She remembered what her dad used to say: "In with the good air, out with the bad air." Jade ran to the sidewalk and started out with a power walk. She pulled out her Ipod, that she had saved Jasmine's money for, out of her pocket and plugged the earphones into her ears. She turned it to her favorite song to play the guitar with and dropped the Ipod back into her pocket. She started pressing 1,2, or 3 fingers on her other wrist. This was how she practiced pressing down the right strings while playing the guitar.

Echos of yelling, screaming, cheering, and chanting filled the night as Jade got closer to her favorite place to walk at night. That was the back of a large stadium. People, mainly girls, were gathered outside, waiting to be able to enter. They were even cheering as the singer, whoever it was, sang along with the music. Jade turned and started walking backwards. She suddenly ran into what felt like a brick wall to her samll body. She quickly turned to find a black man, about 6'4 in height and muscular, standing over her. "I'm so sorry," Jade apologized. The man nodded and Jade noticed the word SECURITY accross his shirt. She started walking towards the back door of the stadium, not know exactly why. She thought her senses were telling her to go that way. [/center]

UNTOUCHABLE, BURNING BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN AND WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE I FEEL LIKE COMING UNDONE. IT'S HALF FULL AND I WON'T WAIT HERE ALL DAY. I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'D BE HERE ANYWAY. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/color][/font][/center]

[/COLOR] JAE'S VOICE BOOMED THROUGHOUT THE STADIUM, WHICH CLARIFIED THE MIC WAS WORKING JUST FINE. "JAE!" FREDS TONE WAS ANGRY AND ANNOYED WHEN HE BARKED, "I'M ON THE PHONE!" FED RETURNED TO ARGUING WITH HIS BLACKBERRY AND JAE SMILED. BUT THE SMILE FADED AS QUICKLY AS IT FORMED ACROSS HIS FACE. JAE SIGHED DEEPLY BEFORE RELEASING THE MIC AND PURPOSLY JUMPING OFF THE STAGE AND INTO THE CROWDS SEATS. HE CASUALLY WALKED THROUGH THE AILSE BEFORE FINDING A REASONABLE SEAT TO OCCUPY. HE PLOPPED DOWN ANS SLOTCHED DOWN INTO THE SEAT. SO BORED, AND FRED’S NOT LISTENING TO ME , JAE THOUGHT AND GLANCED OVER AT FRED STILL ARGUING WITH HIS BLACKBERRY. FRED SAID HIS LAST GOODBYES AND LET THE STAGE GROW SILENT, BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF SECOND, “JAE, WHAT DO YOU- .” FRED TURNED TO FACE THE MIC AND JAE, BUT JAY WASN’T THERE. “JAE? JAE!” FRED SCANNED THE STAGE THEN THE CROWDS OF SEAT TO FIND JAE’S HAND SWAYING IN THE AIR TO INDICATE HE WAS PRESENT. “JAE, WHAT DO YOU WANT?” JAE STILL SLOTCHED IN HIS SEAT AND SPOKE LOUD ENOUGH FOR FRED TO HEAR, ”DON’T YOU THINK THE STAGE IS A BIT LOW?” FRED RAISED A BROW, “SERIOUSLY? YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT HOW HIGH OR LOW THE STAGE IS?” JAE NARROWED HIS EYES,”WELL, YEAH, I COULD BE MALDED. FRED LAUGHED AND DUG OUT HIS BLACKBERRY AND BEGAN CALLING SOMEONE, “YOU’RE NOT THAT FAMOUS JAE. YOU’LL NEVER COMPARE TO YOUR BROTHER, HERO. YES HELLO!” HE WONDERED BACK STAGE CHATTING WITH HIS PHONE LIKE IT WAS THE ONLY BEING WORTH TALKING TO. HAE GRIT HIS TEETH AND TIGHTENED HIS HANDS INTO FISTS. I WILL BE BETTER THAN HERO , JAE THOUGHT BITTERLY AND ROSE FROM HIS SEAT.

THE CROWD, MAINLY MADE UP OF GIRLS, ROARED OUTSIDE HIS DOOR CHANTING HIS NAME. JAE’S SPIRIT COULD HAVE BEEN POSITIVE, EXCITED, AND HAPPY; BUT HE WORE A SAD EXPRESSION ACROSS HIS FACE, STARING INTO HIS REFLECTION. ”YOU’LL NEVER COMPARE TO YOUR BROTHER, HERO.” JAE RECITED FREDS WORDS IN HIS THOUGHTS, FEELING THE ANGER BURN WITHIN HIM. ”I CAN COMPARE, AND I KNOW I’M BETTER,” HE INCOURAGED HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIRROR. FRED BURST INTO THE ROOM WITHOUT AS SO A LITTLE KNOCK AND BEGAN YELLING AT JAE, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WE SHOULD HAVE STARED THE CONCERT BY NOW! WHAT’S THE HOLD UP?” JAE SIGHED AND OFFERED A SMILE, “I CAN’T DO THIS.” FRED LAUGHED, UNABLE TO BELIEVE THE OUTRAGIOUS WORDS POURING FROM JAE’S MOUTH. “YEAH RIGHT. COME ON JAE YOU GO ON IN TWO MINUTES.” FRED STARTED TO HEAD OUT THE DOOR, BUT JAE’S VOICE MADE HIM HALT BEFORE HE EVEN REACHED THE DOOR HANDLE. “I’M SERIOUS,” JAE’S VOICE WAS STERN AND TRUE. FRED SIGHED AND TURNED TO SEE JAE’S EYES GAZING AT HIS REFLECTION POSSIBLY IMAGINING HERO’S SHADOW HOVERING OVER HIM. “JAE, WE GO THOUGH THIS AT EVERY PERFORMANCE YOU DO. YOU’RE JUST NERVOUS, OK.” JAE NODDED AND CLENCHED A NEARBY SEAT, “OK. I’LL BE OUT IN TWO MINUTES.” FRED GRINNED, PLUGGED HIS BLACKBERRY INTO HIS EAR AND HEADED OUT THE DOOR. THE DOOR CLOSED IN THE BACKGROUND AND JAE GROWNED WHILE RUNNING HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS HAIR. GUESS IT IS JUST NERVES , JAE THOUGHT, NERVOUS THAT I MAY NEVER OUT DO MY BROTHER, HERO.

TWO MINUTES SOARED BY AND JAE TAKAHASHI MADE HIS WAY INTO THE STAGE WITH A CONFIDENT STRIDE. ONCE THE AUDIENCE CAUGHT A GLIMSE OF JAE THE STADIUM BOOM WITH CHEERS, EVEN THE STAGE WAS VIBRATING FROM THE ERUPTION OF THEIR CRYS. AS EXSPECTED FRED FORGOT ABOUT LIFTING THE STAGE HIGHER; FRED NEVER FIXS PROBLEMS HE CONCIDERS POINTLESS. JAE INHALED AND EXHALED SLOWLY TO CALM HIS NERVES WHILE HIS FEET CONTINUED TOWARD THE MIC LOCATED AT THE EDGE OF THE STAGE WHERE LIONESSES WAIT FOR THEIR PREY. JAE GRABBED THE MIC AND PULLED IT TO HIS LIPS, ”HELLO CANADA! THANKS FOR COMING TO MY LIVE PERFORMANCE…THE FIRST IN THE US, YOU EXCITED?” THE STADIUM BOOMED WITH CHEERS. A GIRL EVEN JUMPED OUT OF HER SEAT AND SCURRED TO THE STAGE. THE REST OF THE MOB FOLLOWED AND WATCHED JAE LIKE PRETETORS TARGETING THEIR PREY. HE HAD THEM INCHES FROM HIS FEET, WHICH GAVE JAE AN UNCOMFORABLE CHILL DOWN HIS SPINE. ”ALL RIGHT LETS BEGIN! I’LL START WITH MY NEW HIT SINGLE…. ‘STRANGE BIRD’.” ONCE HIS VOICE BROKE, THE BAND STARTED PLAYING THE SONGS MELODY. JAE TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND STARTED SINGING, ”STRANGE BIRD, IS IT WORTH STAYING HERE, “ THE BAND’S MELODY WAS SOFT AND SLOW- LIKE VIOLINS. ”IN THIS CAGE YOU,” THE MUSIC SUDDENLY BOOMED THROUGH THE STADIUM WITH A ROCK GUITAR, ”PAINTED IN YOUR LOST TEARS! ~OH! STRANGE BIRD! WHY DO YOU CARRY THAT BROKEN WING? HOLDING THAT BURDEN ON YOUR RUSTY SWING!” THE SONG RETURNED TO A SOFT MELODY,”I TRUSTED YOU, FELT THE FALSE LOVE YOU SHARED WITH ME, EVEN WHEN YOU THREW YOUR SELF AT ME, AND LENDED ME THE COURAGE TO STAND AGAINST YOU, THE BAND STOPS PLAYING AND JAE SINGS LONG AND OUT STRETCHED, ”STRANGE BIRD!” THE ROCK RHYTHM PICKED UP AGAIN AS HE CONTINUED WITH THE NEXT VERSE, ”IS IT WORTH NOT BEING ABLE TO FLY? YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SO SLY..,” JAE CAUGHT SIGHT OF HIS HERO STANDIN CROSSED ARMED NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE SMIRKING. ”BRINGING… ME…”, JAE’S VOICE STARTED TO BREAK, ”…DOWN..” HIS VOICE CAUGHT IN HIS THROAT AND THE BAND STOPPED PLAYING NOTICING JAE WAS STRUCK AND OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED. FRED NAROWED HIS EYES AND FOLLOWED JAE’S STARE TO HERO HIMSELF AT THE ENTRANCE. FRED GASPED AND RAN ONTO THE STAGE. “THE CONCERTS BEEN DELAYED!” FRED GRABBED JAE’S ARM AND DRAGGED HIM OFF THE STAGE WITH ANGRY LIONESSES SCREAMING BEHIND HIM.

”THAT BASTARD DARED COMING HERE!?” JAE PACED IN HIS DRESSING ROOM FALMS RISING INSIDE HIM. “RELAX,” FRED ORDERED. JAE SIGHED DEEPLY, ”I CAN’T DO THIS.” JAE GRABBED HIS JACKET AND SLID IT ON. “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING,” FRED DEMANDED TO KNOW. ”I NEED SOME FRESH AIR.” JAE RAN OUT OF THE ROOM AND THROUGH THE BACK DOOR. HE THREW HIS HOOD OVER HIS HEAD AND STARTED TO JOG OFF INTO THE NIGHT UNTIL HE SLAMMED INTO A SMALL FRAME. BOTH WERE THROWN ONTO THE GROUND. JAE’S HOOD FELL OFF HIS HEAD AND HE WAS EXSPOSED. HE JERKED HIS HEAD UP TO DISCOVER HE RAN INTO A GIRL. CRAP, IS SHE A FAN GIRL!?, JAE WONDERED.

After awhile of thinking about the chore she read aloud, Jade knew that her stepmother was just trying to keep her busy. Luckily, her stepmother would be going on a buisness trip next week, but she would still be stuck with Leah and Alyssa. Jade stuck her hands in her jacket pockets, a little cold. The roar of the crowd had gone down since most of the fans got in the stadium. Jade shook her head. Why was she here? She normally hated crowds and sreaming, but she enjoyed it this time. Why?

Jade tried to hear the words to the song, trying to see if she reconized them. But they were muffled by the walls. The voices she thought she would never hear made her freeze. "We're here! Yay!" They squealed with delight. Leah and Alyssa. Jade scanned the area for sight of them, but never caught a glimpse of their blonde heads. "Must be my imagination," she tried to tell herself, but something was telling her it was real. She heard the door open, the words of the song more clear, but as the door closed, the words faded and the sounds were trapped.

The back door opened and out came a guy in a hoodie. He ran towards Jade, but Jade didn't move. Then he slammed into her, making her fall to the ground on her back. She sat up and looked at the exposed guy. "Hey, watch where your going.." She stood and brushed the dirt on her jeans off. "Who are you anyways?" she asked him. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember his name. [/center]
