Chapter 40

"So you're just going to be a bitch?" I ask. He shakes his head before stopping dead in his track and turning around going the other way.

"Jaden... talk to me please."

"There is nothing to talk about Em, I've said this already."

"So we are just going to ignore last night?" I huff. He stops dead in his tracks. He's been acting off since this morning, he's oddly quiet and grumpy. He's like the mystical troll under the bridge but this time, the troll can't be swept away in the currents... sadly, I might have to try though.

"We aren't ignoring anything. I was drunk, I barley remember anything from last night, there is nothing to talk about. Can you please drop it."

"Why were you drunk, alone, in the pitch black, silent, and apologizing over something you wouldn't tell me? Yes of course this isn't odd. This is totally normal Jaden." I remark. He lets out a huff before grabbing my wrist and pulling to the side into indent where locker use to be.

"Can you just drop it." He mutters.

"Why won't you talk to me"

"Emilia." He says sternly letting go of wrist. "Drop it."

I let out a huff before walking around him and making my way towards the door. He wasn't talking to me and i'm hurt by that. I thought we had a trusting relationship but I guess we don't. Something was clearly bothering him, he never acts
like this.

Im come to a hault when a hand wraps around my wrist and i'm lugged back to where I was standing a few seconds ago. Looking up my eyes meet a pair of lost blue eyes.

"I'm just stressed Em. Please can we just drop it."

"You're not talking to me." I mumble like a baby. He lets out a sigh before sliding his hands to the small of back, slowly pulling my closer till I can see every detail on his face.

"I'm sorry Em, it's not that I don't trust you. I trust you more than anyone. I'm just stressed with school and things. Please don't take that personally."

"Promise you will talk to me if you need me?"

"Promise" A small smile grows on his face as he brings his hand away from my back and sticks out pinky.

"I don't know Jaden, those pinky promises are pretty big." A soft smile plasters across both our faces as we both look at his pinky. After a few moments of hesitation I bring my hand up and link our pinky's.

"You better keep your promise."

"I will love. I have to go to practice but I will see you after school?"

"Sounds good" He places a soft kiss on my forehead before turning away and walking away and i'm left standing there like a big dummy with a smile on my face. He's something else, I just hope he can learn to relax better.

"You look happy." A voice pulls me out of my trance. It takes me a few minutes to process who it is before it clicks.

"It's getting there."

"I'm happy for you Emilia. He's a good guy."

"Thank you Lily." She nods before leaning on the set of lockers in front of me. The silence slowly seeps in as more and more kids shuffle out the building to head home for the day and soon enough we are only left with a few kids here and there.

"I'm sorry Emilia. I really am. I know i've said it before but I probably should've watched who I was walking in on."

"It's okay." I softly mumble. I watch as her snaps upwards and her jaw practically drops open. "I talked to Jaden about this two days ago. It wasn't you're fault and i'm sorry I put that on you, on us."

"Does this mean you are-"

"I think so. I'm not ready to put a title on it yet."

"I'm proud of you Emilia. I really am, I sorry it had to go down like this." She sends me a small smile and all I do is nod.

"See you at graduation?"

"Yeah."

For once something in me, the small child part of me, is able to accept that things happened and things will always get destroyed and this happened to one of those.

For once, I can say I wouldn't be with the people I am with today if this all weren't to happen. I can finally say a part of me is glad this happened.

I'm really getting there.

Stroke after stroke the canvas starts slowly coming to life. Each line and imperfection come together to start form something. I don't know what that something is quite yet but it's something.

Adding more black paint to the middle of the canvas, I take a good look at what I could make the few stroke line I have on there. It reminds me of a raven a lot so that's what I decided to go for.

Minutes turn into an hour and before I know it, it's already reaching 10 o clock. Most of the raven is done expect from it's beak tip that I haven't done yet. I liked it a lot. It was the first thing I've painted in a while and I couldn't be happier with it.

"I like it." I nearly fall out of seat when I hear someone say something. Slowly turning I spot a very sweaty Jaden with an appeased look on his face.

"You bastard! You scared me."

He just smiles. He was leaning again the wall of the basement stair doorframe. His hair was wet due to sweat and he was dressed in a tee shirt and a pair of basketball shorts.

"You look beat... yikes"

"Coach was mad at us today. Our last game wasn't very good. Someone would know but they slept through it."

"You told me not to go! Don't lie." I laugh. He rolls his eyes before dropping his bag on my bed and walks over to my small little painting area and stands behind me. "Jaden. Away you sweaty beast."

"You didn't miss me." He pouts. I shook my head and his jaw drops open, a small giggle escaping my lips. "I'm hurt."

"I'm sorry but you stink."

"You know there is only one way you can make it up to me right?"

"And what does Mr. Jaden want?"

"A kiss." In the blink of an eye his lips meet mine in a very tender way, almost craving touch. He sets his hand on the side of my thigh keeping him upright as our mouth move together. When he pulls away, a goofy grin remains on his face.

"Shower?"

"I don't even need to take one, I took one when I got home earlier. Nice tr- JADEN!" I yelp. He moves his paint infested hand away from my face before looking at me and smiling even more.

"Looks who need one now."

"Jaden you prick."

"So is that a yes?"

"You're an asshole."

"I get my way." He kisses me once more before picking me up from my seat and dragging me over his shoulder and carries us to the bathroom.

It was a long night.
