Chapter 7: How About, Hey I Like You?

After a few classes it was lunch time. I sat with my friends, they were talking I just remained silent, I wasn't even hungry so i just got up and left.

"I think it's time you come clean with her." Kathy said to Jordan.

"I will soon, I just need to figure out how I'm going to tell her."

"How about, hey I like you." Trisha said to him.

"I'm going to get a headache from this."

After school, I was behind a tree just reading, waiting for Jordan to come out since we don't have the last class together. Then I heard my friends voices.

"Are you ready to tell her?" Brisa asked.

"Yeah, I can't keep this fake dating going on."

"I would say, take her to the beach and tell her everything." Joey said.

I came out and they all went in shock.

"Fake dating? All this time, you were fake dating her, why?"

"Can we do this in another place?" He said.

"Drive and talk, ugh." I said as we both got into his car and he drove off.

"I'll go buy roses for your brother." Matt said.

"Yup, good luck twin."

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

We went to the beach that was ten minutes away from the city.

"Talk." I said in a cold tone.

"Kathy was just helping me, she's actually in a relationship with Trisha."

"Why am I the last to know about this?"

"Cause of our fake dating."

"Why Jordan, why?"

"Because I have feelings for you, I love you as more than friends."

"And how about, hey I love you or I like you, or-" I said before I slapped him.

"Was that necessary?"

"Yes, because you decided to fake date someone instead of telling me how you feel."

"I tried, a lot. But you you never got the hint, and then you pretty much made it clear when you said that it was just in the moment that we almost kissed."

"Well, we got interrupted by Taylor, so maybe it was for the best." I said before I threw sand at him. There was also rocks but I didn't want to send him to the hospital.

"Do you not feel the same as me? Tell me and I will stop trying, cause honestly, loving you hurts." He said as I saw a few tears fall down.

"I don't know." I said before leaving him there.

I took the first bus and left.

--Jordan--

This is what I fucking get for pouring my feelings out, fuck this. I got on my car and passed the speed limit, then I landed in jail, do I care? Nope.

Why did I land in jail? because I went to a bar drank, then I was starting to drunk drive and I hit a stop signal. I don't drink, but figured today was a good time to start. I was behind bars, didn't bother to make a call, I was very hammered to care. But they grabbed my phone and searched contacts then called my parents. They bailed me out and took me home.

They let me sleep cause tomorrow I was gonna get hell. Let's just say, next day I got a huge lecture on driving while being drunk, they took my car keys and I have to work to pay my damage, that was fine. They didn't take my phone cause of emergencies, but i wasn't allowed to hang out, and it was school and home. Yeah mom and dad were not happy, Brisa slapped me for almost killing myself.

--Aurora--

At school I didn't see Jordan, but my friends pretty much ignored me, I'm guessing Jordan filled them in. That's fine, guess I will just hangout with my baby sis.

"I'm home, not that anyone cares cause lately everyone is mad at me." I sighed.

"Sissy." Taylor said while bouncing towards me then hugged me.

"Your sissy could actually use a big hug from you." I said as a few tears escaped.

I picked her up and sat with her on the couch.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because everyone hates me, I hurt Jordan because I'm scared." I said as she wiped my tears.

"Well, I love you a lot." She hugged me.

"What happened yesterday?" I looked up to see mom and dad.

I told them everything, they just looked at me.

"What scares you, the fact that you also love him like he does, or the thought of your friendship getting ruined if things don't workout?"

"Both, I do love Jordan and I don't want our friendship to get ruined. Though a little late cause he hasn't answered my text, I apologized cause I slapped him then left him alone. I lost him." I started to cry.

They both sat down next to me and hugged me, same for Taylor.

"It will get better, hang in there." Dad said.

"When two people are meant to be, life will find a way to bring them together." She said looking at dad, he smiled at her.

"She's right, just be patient." My dad said.

"I love you sissy, be happy."

"I love you three so much."

"We love you more." Mom said.

I love my family, always there when I need them. I just hope Jordan forgives me for slapping him and leaving him there.
