The girl who fell

Chapter sixteen

Jade's pov.

Y/n finishes the taco, puts the book away and goes into the main area of the library.

"If you hear yelling, ignore it."

They nod. I go into the main area and Y/n looks at me. She sighs.

"What?"

I sit next to her and she stays where she is.

"I'm so sorry Y/n. I know that doesn't mean a whole lot but i really am. And honestly, it sucks that you're pisses at me. I didn't even kiss him. You just caught us as he'd kissed me and i didn't kiss back." I say.

She doesn't answer.

"Y/n?"

She stands up and walks off. I sigh. I really fucked up.

You

It's been a few weeks since Jade apologised. I regret not accepting it. But it happened and there's no goin back.

I walk down the stairs and see some guy talking to Jade. Jealousy. One word to describe my mood.

"I dont like these shoes. They're ugly and they make my feet hurt." Jade says.

"W-well then why do you wear them?" The guy asks.

"Because i like to punish myself." Jade says.

"W-well.... i-i think you look really nice today." He says.

"Oh so yesterday i looked gross?"

"N-no! I just meant that-"

"That normally i look disgusting but today i got lucky?"

He starts stammering out incoherent words and backing away.

"O-oh forget it! Keep your money!" He yells looking towards some lockers.

I frown.

"Coward!"

Andre. I look around the corner and see Tori and Andre. I roll my eyes and go to my locker.

"You payed a guy to ask me out?!"

Before she charges at them, i grab Jade and pull her to the black box. That's typically where she launches chairs around.

I just stand against the wall. She doesn't throw anything. She just sits down against a wall.

When she's angry, her breathing is very heavy.

After almost an hour, her breathing isn't heavy. If anything it sounds like she's crying.

I look up from my phone. She's crying. I walk over and sit next to her. I wrap my arms around her. She immediately hugs herself into me and we just sit there like that for almost an hour.

We've definitely missed Sikowitz's class. But i dont care cos this is more important.

After some time, it's just whimpers. See i feel really bad now.

"Jade?" I ask.

She looks at me, tears still streaming down her face. I wipe them away and place a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm sorry." Jade manages to get out.

"Why are you sorry?" I ask.

"C-cos of everything w-with Beck." Jade says.

"Hey, listen to me, i overreacted. Dont blame yourself for this okay? It's not your fault. How about, we go back to my house and cuddle all night amd not move once only to get food." I say.

Jade sniffles and nods.

"But we better sneak out. To avoid the others." I say.

I hear her laugh a little bit.

"W-why are we avoi-avoiding them?" Jade asks.

"Cos i kinda told them I'm not forgiving you." I say.

Jade looks up at me with a weird frown.

"What?"

"Why would you tell them that?" Jade asks.

I shrug.

"It seemed smart at the time." I say.

I stand up and help her up.

"How many people have actually seen you cry?" I ask.

"You." Jade says.

"Just me?"

She nods.

"Y/n?! Jade?!"

"Shit. Hide." I say.

Jade goes up the ladder and into the tiny room.

The door opens and Tori walks in with Andre.

"Y/n? Where's Jade?" Andre asks.

"We've just spent 2 hours in the janitors closet hiding from her." Tori says.

"I haven't seen her. She snapped at me and left." I say.

They nod and leave. Jade comes down and hits my shoulder.

"Ow. Why?"

"You're only thought was that i snapped at you?"

"Yeah cos if i said 'oh yeah she broke down and then ran off' they would not have believed a word i said." I say.

"Fair point. Now lets go before they spot us." Jade says.

I nod. We quickly get into my car and speed off. I end up getting pulled over.

Jade hits my arm.

"Would you stop that?"

The officer questions me and then lets us go.
