JADE

I started sending some of my things on the new apartment that I got so that it’ll be easier for me to move right away once Tori give birth. According to her OB, she’ll give birth on the first week of February. As I arrived at the house from my apartment, Tori opened the door for me and kissed me hello.

“I hate that you’re moving after I give birth.” She said walking down to the kitchen as I tail her off.

“I told you. Once I get my own apartment I’ll move out.” I replied. “But don’t worry, I’ll visit you here all the time. You know how excited I am to meet Baby Andrea.”

Tori already told me about her baby’s name which is Andrea, combination of her name and Anders.

“What did Mat say?” She asked which caught my attention.

It’s almost a week passed since the incident on the bar happened. To be honest, I am so disappointed on him! I thought he will tell me about what happened and explain to me as to why that happened but he didn’t. Instead, Mat just texts and calls me like it’s as if nothing has happened. I don’t want to be the one who will address the elephant in the room, I want him to be the one who will do it. If he’s really concerned about me and loves me, he will admit what he did without me asking for it. But unfortunately, he didn’t bothered himself from doing it.
Thank god, he’s in Tampa right now and won’t be home for another week due to some All-Stars media day whatsoever or else I’ll just melt down in front of him. A time away from him is really good actually in order for me to gather enough strength to deal the issue with him once he gets back.

“What about him?” I stupidly asked opening the fridge to grab some water.

“He’s your boyfriend. He supposed to know that you’re moving.” Tori replied.

“Well—I haven’t told him yet.” I said calmly.

“When will you tell him then?” She asked. “Right when he gets home? Or right when you have already moved out?”
I haven’t told anyone about what happened few weeks ago, I literally just kept it to myself and it is completely heavy. So I released a sigh deciding to spill the beans to Tori since she is my cousin, my bestfriend and a big sister to me. For sure the first person that I really need to talk to right now is literally her.

“Can I tell you something?” I begin as I grab a chair to seat on.

“Are you guys having problems?” Tori suspected.

“Something like that.” I said and told her about what happened that night. Tori was surprised about it and even commented that Pauline must be really into Mat. “Why didn’t you tell Mat?”

“Because I was waiting for him to confess it to me.” I replied in complete frustration. “If he loves me, or just concerned to me he’ll tell me. But no, he didn’t.”

“Maybe he just wants to tell it to you personally?”

“I don’t know. I’m not sure about this anymore.” I said putting my palms on my face.

“Jade, Barzy is a great guy.” Tori started as she puts her hands on my back and rubbed it. “For sure there’s a reason behind that incident. Hear him first right before you do any drastic decisions.”

I sighed and stared on my cousin’s blue eyes. “God! How will I live without you?”

Tori giggled and hugged me. “Let’s go cook some lunch!”

After we ate our lunch, I head straight to my room and packed the rest of my stuff right before taking a quick nap. When I woke up, my head is pretty clear already I grab my phone again to see Mat’s text.
