The Boy Next Door ( Jeremy McKinnon fanfic )

Chapter 27- i dont want to see you!

When I got home I threw my bag on the floor. I looked in the mirror and one side of my face was bruised and was turning a dark purple. my lip was busted and swollen. I could barley open my left eye it was that swollen. my clothes had grass stains and blood on them. i unpinned my hat and put it back in my drawer. i walked out of my room and into the house. i walked in slowly calling out my brother and sister's name to see if they were home. no one answered so they must be at work. i grabbed an ice pack and wrapped it in a small towel. i pressed it on my face wincing at the pain. i took out my phone and connected it to the dock on the kitchen counter. i played disapear by issues it was one of my favorite songs at the moment.

i sang along quitely. i went to the bathroom after turning up the music all the way up. i took a wash cloth and wet it carefully wiping off some of the blood and runned down mascara and eyeliner from when i cried on the way home. i heard a knock at the door and froze. i dont know who it was because it was only 1 in the afternoon and rian and skyler dont get off work till 4. i stopped wiping the black off my face and went to the door.

i heard more knocking and got irratated.

"im coming!"

I opened the door without looking through the curtain and stopped dead in my tracks when my eyes landed on who was at the door. my heart stopped.

JEREMY P.O.V

It's been 2 days since we have been here in Cali again. the boys and I have been recording at the studio and will be almost everyday until self help fest. I'm upset that Andrew kept us at the studio longer than we needed because I didn't get to FaceTime Aiden.
She's been on my mind nonstop. I remember her reaction when I first told her I love you. I smiled.
I was face timing her before we went to bed even though we lived right next door the boys were over my place and I think her broth told her she couldn't stay at my house that night for some reason. anyways we were getting ready to say goodbye and I said 'I love you aiden' she nearly choked on air and fell out of her seat. when she got up she asked me to repeat what I said and I did while I laughed at her.
Her exact words were 'if your kidding this is a really mean joke.' It made me upset she didn't believe me but at the same time she never really got love when she grew up so I don't blame her for not believing me. when I told her I wasn't joking and that I really did love her she started to cry and ran out of her room.

It left me sad and made me regret telling her because I thought she didn't love me back until there was a ring at my door and when I opened it Aiden planted her lips against mine.

"Jeremy. Jeremy!" When josh called my name I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Huh what?"

"What's got you in a trance bro?"

"Oh it's just aiden. she's been on my mind since we left."

"What we're you thinking or remembering you kept smiling like an idiot." Kevin smirked.

"I was just remembering when I told her I loved her for the first time." I couldn't keep my self from smiling.

"Awe who knew Jeremiah wade McKinnon was such a mush ball!" Neil taunted me.

"Says the one who was wiped to a girl who isn't even theirs." I raised my eyebrow as he shut up. this made the rest of the guys laugh. Neil blushed and just went back to working on his riffs.

I shook my head and told Andrew I wanted to work on vocals now. I went to the back room and stood in front of the mic. I sang as I read of the lyric sheet and listened to what we had so far for the beat through the head phones.

"That was great Jeremy let's work on the next song." I took a breathe and a sip from the water bottle I brought and started to sing from the next page.

After about 4 hours of going through songs recording, writing lyrics and riffs and looking at how it all sounds together I was tired.
