Joy spilled everywhere. I smiled. I really did. But the moment his name had been spoken, something inside me shifted, like a string pulled. Jaxon. The sound of it stirred too much. I really couldn't place it… Anger I hadn’t fully buried. The hurt I pretended had healed. Want I refused to name. A thousand feelings crashing into one quiet ache I didn’t let reach my face.

Maya questioned, getting pissed at Joy's use of words. " Haven't you heard? Make it your aim to mind your own business. You look pathetic.

A strange premonition stirred within me. And then, during the artist's thank-you segment, we saw Grayson. He looked slightly tense, standing there as if unsure, yet the moment he saw us, tears shimmered in his eyes. Alicia froze.

Joy gulped down her pride and fury somehow, and then suddenly broke out in a smile when she remembered something. “Xeon,” she sweetly said. “You wouldn’t dare, nerd,” Dre lashed out as if understanding what Joy was up to. “What ?” Joy innocently said. “I just wanted to talk to your mate about drunk, grown ass boys singing nursery rhymes in pee puddles on the middle of the road; crying in the middle of a hunt when a rabbit bit a freaking ranked wolf; getting lost in Ninja school on the first day and ending up locked in a women’s bathroom stall; pooping in your Ninja instructor’s shoes; getting a tat on your- ,” she trailed off when Dre suddenly growled.

Whether it is emotional or physical still it's the same pain that will make you suffer. Loneliness! This comes from those you love and most important for you; when they've been taken away from you, thus loneliness will sprout. Sadness!

You feel it from your surroundings, from what you see, from others who otherwise makes you laugh, makes you smile, and makes you ecstatic. Joy! This is different from happiness, for joy is a long lasting happiness. While happiness is only just for a while. Joy is when you achieved something that you longed for.

Logan could feel heat rise in his cheeks as he felt himself getting both embarrassed and confused. "I'm getting thinner day by day Logan and it's not even autumn yet," Joy whispered, her blue eyes teary. Logan suddenly felt his own heart drop to his stomach as he saw her hands shamefully covering her protruding ribs. "I have never felt so close to death, what am I going to do? I-I thought that . . . that I was s-strong and that I have accepted my-my fate, but it's scaring me as each day goes by. I-I should feel calmer, but . . . I can't Logan.
