Jace walked to Dorah's class so she could escort him to the studio. He had told others to go on without him. He bumped into Madison as he got to the entrance. "Hey watch it" Maddy said eyeing him and walked away before he could say a word. "You should be the one to watch it , spoilt brat" Jace said. "What's happening here?" Dorah asked as she walked up to have with her friends. "You don't have to worry about that" Jace said smiling. "Let's go" He added. "Bye girls" Dorah said and waved at her friends as she followed Jace. "Am I allow in here?" She asked as they got to the entrance of the studio. "Yeah, I told them about it" Jace said dragging her inside. She looked around but couldn't see Ronald in sight, so she breath out. "How are you?" Mr Alfred asked while max and Jason waved at her. "I'm fine" She answered smiling. Jace just stood at a spot lost in trance. He just couldn't help but think about those days with his mother. Those time he'll followed his mom to the studio. How his mum will joined him in making songs, those laughter of hers when playing around the studio with him. "I miss you mum" he thought. "Jace" she called shaking him back to reality. "What's wrong? We've been calling you for minutes now but you're not answering. And what's up with the tears?" Jason asked making Jace touched his face only to realized he's truly crying. He cleaned his face with his sleeves and smiled "It's nothing" He said. They all looked at him worriedly. "Are you sure you're fine?" Dorah asked. "Yes, baby girl" He said ruffling her hair. "Stop it. I'm not a kid" she said smiling. "You're not suppose to be here" Ronald said as he entered the studio with Madison following him. He paused walking immediately he saw dorah who just looked away ignoring his presence. "If I'm not allow then what's she doing here" Maddy asked eyeing dorah. Ronald rubbed his forehead in frustrating looking at others for help. "She's a member here while you're not. And from what I know, strangers are not allowed in here" Jace said folding his arms on his chest. "What?! Are you trying to say I'm a stranger? Baby, you should tell this guy who I am" Maddy said frowning. "You heard them. Just leave and stop acting stubborn. You're frustrating me here" Ronald said making her stumped her feet in the ground and left the room but not after giving Jace a deadly glare. "Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. That girl is really a pain in the ass" Ronald said as he sat on a chair breathing out. "Well,sorry. They've already chosen your own headache for you, so chill" Max said smirking.
Everyone started giving a confused look, Jace has been standing in front of the mic for minutes now and he's not taking any step. "Jace" Mr Alfred called and he looked up. Almost immediately, memories started flashing through his mind. "No no no no no" he chanted. He fell to the ground causing everyone to stood up. Dorah rushed to him and squatted beside him. "Mum" he called and looked at Dorah in tears. He was wet because of how he was sweating profusely. "Hey, Jace calm down. Try calming down" Dorah said with a Shakey voice. "My mum" he called crying out loudly making dorah hugged him. "You'll be fine" She said caressing his hair.
Hey what's going on? Tell me what's wrong
I know there's something we can do.........
Dorah sang sweetly as she stroked his hair. He sang repeatedly till he calmed down. He helped him stood up and helped him walk. "I think we'll be going now" dorah said with a slight bow and took both her backpack and that of Jace. "My mum" he called as they got out of the studio. "It's fine" dorah said giving him an assuring smile as she took his palm in his hands and rubbed it gently. "You'll be fine" she added and he nodded. Dorah sat him down and put a call through to his driver. Memories came flashing. "Mum" young Jace voice echoed in his head. He shakes his head in pain as he started sweating profusely. The image of his mother falling helplessly on the stage flashed through his mind. "Mum" he mumbled. "Mum, please wake up" he remembered how he cried as his mother's lifeless body was pushed into ambulance. Tears already streamed down his face. An handkerchief was stretched towards his face. He looked up to see dorah but was disappointed to see Helena. "Thanks, but I don't need it" he said bringing out his own and cleaned his tears. "What's wrong?" Helena asked as she sat beside him. "Nothing" He said in a hard tone making dorah turned to them. "Oh I'm sorry" Helena said apologetically. "What are you still doing in school?" He asked. "I saw you with the flower boys and that girl" she paused pointing to Dorah's direction. "I saw you when you were going to the studio" She said and Jace scoffed. "So, I decided to wait for you" She said. "Why are you waiting for me? Are you spying on me or what? Even a jobless being cannot spy on someone like you do. Why are you trying to be nice to me? Have you not done enough in my life? You broke my heart despite how much I loved you. The more I see you, the more your appearance cause my pain. My hatred for you grow wide everyday, now listen to me Allan Helena, I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again, disappear from my life, stop causing more pain in my life" Jace said with a serious look and voice. "But it's not my fault" "Then whose voice is it?" Jace half yelled. "It's yours. You went into another relationship after you promised me it'll only be me" Helena said as tears gathered in her eyes. "Leave me alone. You disgust me" Jace yelled. Just like a perfect timing, his driver arrived. He stood up and walked away towards the car. "I'm sorry" Dorah said as she walked past Helena who bursted into tears.
