Hazel .

It was dim out , but that didn't stop my door from knocking . I sigh ; I look over at Bryan who is still sleeping . He decided to come over to help me pack my belongings . I dragged myself to the door .

"Who is it?" I yelled . Nobody responded . I open the door to see Jaden flat out on the floor .

"Jaden??" I said in a worried voice . He slurred to talk . After a while I figure he was drunk . I stood him up . Wrapping his arms around my neck as I wrapped my arm around his lower back . It took me a while to sit him on the couch .

"Why the fuck he here?!" Bryan shouted as he made his way fully in the living room .

"Lower your damn tone ; his drunk." I said arranging Jaden to lay on the couch .

"Babe , He can't stay here ." Bryan stated as I cover Jaden with a blanket that was on top of one of the boxes .

"That's enough dammit ! His staying . This is my damn house ! " I said loud enough so Bryan could hear me .

"After all the times he disrespect you ? You're gonna help him out ?" Bryan questioned me .

"Listen here boo , Jaden will ALWAYS be my BEST FRIEND . You don't like the way it sounds . There's the damn door !" I yelled ; empathizing the words ALWAYS and BEST FRIEND .

After Bryan was done inflicting his clothes on , cause he had only boxers on . He left and he had damn nerves to SHUT my door .

I went back to my room ; because this was too much for me . I promised myself I would keep my distance from Jaden . I hate fighting with him . So if staying away from him will stop all this . I'm willing to do it . If Jaden can look me dead in my eyes and say he don't care about me . Than I could stay out of his life with no problem .

Like I said before where's the love in the air ?

"Jaden , please just-" I try to speak , but he wrapped his arms around my waistline tighter .

"I'm sorry Hazel" he whispered in my ears .

I couldn't tell if he was drunk or not . The temperature of his body was rising by the minute .

"Jaden , I can't do this with you ." I said removing his arms , but he pulled me right back in .

"Hazel I'm sorry . I really do care about you . I'm just scared to show my feelings out to you . " He spoke ; trying his best to stay awake .

"The thing is ..... The thing is ... I really Lo-love you . I'm sorry for every-everything and I mean that . I fight with you because you're the ... You're the only one who really ca-care about me .. And " His words trail off as his body shivered .

"And I really miss you ; I .. I brought my angry on you and I'm - I'm truly sorry for that . My folks do-don't want no-nothing to do with me ; As-Asia put me in this mess ..." Before he could even finish his sentence he dosed off to a deep sleep .

I was in a fade of shock to hear what was coming out Jaden's mouth . I do forgive him . He needs to finish what he started . I never knew the real reason why Jaden hated Asia . Everything is just falling on the table . I'm just waiting for someone to arrange it .

Through the cold night Jaden enclosed his arms around me . To be honest I miss getting this close to him . Even though we fight ; we still come back to our senses . I've been through hell and back with him .

I naturally woke up ; I turned my view to Jaden . He was hotter than the sun . I left him wrapped up around the covers . I knew a good recipe momma taught me for fevers and colds . Chicken soup never goes wrong . Especially how my momma makes it .

Last night Bryan was being a ass . Did I confront him when his ex was in his car with me ? No . So he needed chill . I could've easily told him "I don't want that hoe nowhere near you" point blank period . Thinking he running shit around here . I pay the bills . So I run this household boo .

After 5 mins of stirring the chicken soup . I poured it in a bowl and inflict a spoon in there .

"Hazel I'm not eating that" Jaden said in a sleepy tone .

"Come on this will make you feel better , trust me" I said ; in Indian style on the bed besides him .

After fighting he will not eat it ; he finally agree to eat it . I fed him while he manage to keep his eyes open . His face was dancing with redness . I placed the now empty bowl on the dresser .

"Well I have to go to work ." I assured him .

"No" he said pulling me towards his chest .

"That's my ass if I miss work" I complained .

"I just want to hold on to you . I need you right now . " He said softly .

"But-"

"Please . I miss you ." He softly said ; breathing on my neck .

He rubbed his hands against the skin of my back . I stroked my fingers through his hair .

Throughout the whole day I was taking care of Jaden . I didn't even get to call out of work today . That's how sick Jaden was .
