That One Friend Group: Summer Feud

5. A lot of Questions

Jordan's POV:

I was back home now and I decided to call Stella. I stayed at Parker's for longer than I intended, he's actually pretty fun to hang out with but my kind still couldn't be taken off of Josh. I don't know what was wrong with me because I've never been like this before. When we broke up I was cool with it and it was him that was thinking about me all the time and now I don't know if he even cares about my feelings, the fact that he broke a promise that we both said we would keep is the worst part. The thing is, I grew so attached to him that I can't simply get over him. But I'm still going through with my plan of getting him and Eden broken up. Just then she answered. "Hey!" She said and I said it back, there was an awkward silence for a few seconds.

(S= Stella, J= Jordan)

S: So how'd it go at Parker's?
I knew that she was going to ask that.
J: Okay. Except from Kaden.
I told her about how he was talking about me and Parker to Jackie and Diana.
S: There's gonna be rumors now,
J: Good job Sherlock.
S: But I thought that you "liked" Parker.
J: I do "like" him but I don't want people to say that we're dating because my whole plan will get ruined and Josh'll probably hear.
S: You really like Josh, don't you?
J: Yes, no, I don't know! Don't make this awkward.
S: Look, If I were you, I'd stop with the Parker plan and focus on getting Josh back if you like him that much.
J: You have a point but, I want him to do whatever I say!
S: All i'm saying is that if you really like Josh then, if you stopped with the Parker thing, then if you two got back together then Josh could just do what you want instead of you having the difficulty of when you have to tell Parker the truth! The longer you leave it, the worse it'll get.

She has a point, if I don't stop with the Parker thing then he's not going to take it lightly when I tell him the truth about how I don't like him but I like Josh. Why's things got to be so confusing sometimes? "Okay, I'll try and talk to Parke- wait, can you tell him?" I asked her, I really didn't want to have to deal with Parker crying his eyes out. She looked confused. "Please! Because then, while you tell Parker I can go with Josh!" I really wanted to go see Josh tomorrow in stead of Parker because I want to do my genius plan of splitting him and Eden up. "Fine!" She said, I was relived so I thanked her. We talked for a bit and then I came off of facetime with her and went to bed, preparing myself for tomorrow.

Destiny's POV:

I'm at Tayler's house and I know that right now while i'm sitting here with Tayler, that Jordan's at Parker's house and hopefully everything is going well. So yeah back to me and Tayler, i'm sitting in the middle of his room watching him play games with Josh over a call which is kind of annoying because I wanted to spend time with Tayler but I guess it's ok. I don't know what they were playing but it didn't seem fun at all and it was boring to watch so I just went on my phone. After a while, I heard Tayler's dad shout for him so I tapped Tayler and told him and he went downstairs.
"Hi Destiny." I heard Josh say through Tayler's headset. "Hey." I continued scrolling through instagram and luckily Josh just started talking to himself. I saw that Kaden posted something on his story which was strange because he never posts anything also I don't remember when I followed him but I clicked it and saw exactly what I was hoping to see, Jordan and Parker. The video looked like Kaden was stalking them but hey, I would as well if I was there. They seemed pretty close to each other and they were laughing together so I just thought if maybe Jordan does like Parker.

I doubted it but I called Stella and asked her what she thought, I went into Tayler's bathroom so Josh couldn't hear and she picked up pretty quickly."Hey!" She seemed like she was filled with excitement and I said it back, sounding the same. "Hey! Have you seen Kaden's story on insta?" I asked her and I heard her scoff. "No, I blocked him." She laughed so I told her that i'd send it and I did. "Woah." Was her reaction, the same as mine. "I know right!" I said, we were both happy. "Do you think that she does like him?" I asked her and she stuttered. "I mean, she could but it's Jordan, I bet she's only doing this because she wants Parker to do whatever she says." She had a good point because Jordan did say that and she's a good actress when it comes to this sort of stuff, she always has been and always will be. "I hope she does though." Stella said and I agreed. If she likes Josh better than Parker then she has a weird type and I don't like either of them.

Just then, I heard Tayler come back in and he told Josh that he had to go and said bye to him. He then came and knocked on the bathroom door. "Destiny? Can you come here?" He asked and his voice seemed like he'd been crying so I told Stella that I had to go and said bye. I opened the door and saw Tayler standing there with red puffy eyes so I immediately went up to him and gave him a hug. "What's wrong, Tay?" I asked him genuinely worried, Tayler's not an easy person to make cry so I was concerned on what happened. "I-I-I'm so-sorr-sorry." He stuttered to make a sentence but when he did I was confused on what he was sorry for. "For what?" I stroked his face dreading what he was going to say. "De-Dest-Destiny..." He started, "Do-Do yo-you l-lov-love m-me?" I don't know why he was asking that because he already knew what my answer will be. "Of course." I told him. I'm so confused. "I'm so-sorry." He said again, I was mainly confused on what he was sorry for. "For what?" I asked him again. He was still just crying and couldn't form a sentence so I went downstairs to just ask his parents. "Hey, can I ask you something." I went up to them and they smiled. "Of course." They said, his parents were always so nice to me and sometimes I love them more than Tayler. "What's wrong with Tayler? Why's he crying?" I asked and they just looked at each other in guilt. "Well." His dad started, but his mum cut him off. "Tayler has to go to a different school then the rest of you's when you go back to school." And at that moment, my heart broke and sank to the bottom of my stomach. "Oh, ok." I said and started walking back up the stairs to Tayler and I heard them shout sorry to me but I just wanted to go cry with Tayler. "I'm sorry, Destiny." He said as soon as I walked in and I just ran up and hugged him while I broke down. I was still so confused on the reason but I didn't want to be rude and ask that so I decided to just cry with Tayler. "It's ok Tay, i'll always love you even if I don't get to see you everyday." I assured him, we looked at each other and then just went back into each other's arms and cried. We promised each other that we'd stay in contact but I knew that it would be hard to keep a relationship if we don't get to see each other.

Jordan's POV:
(the next day)

I've called Josh so many times this morning and he keeps declining them or ignoring them and I'm starting to freak out, Stella's going to Parker's today and i'm suppose to be going to Josh's but he won't answer my calls and won't reply to my texts so I don't know what to do. I had enough and I don't care if Josh hates me right now for whatever reason (I'm blaming Eden but whatever), i'm Jordan West and I can do whatever the hell I want whenever I want! So that's what I did, I put on my shoes and a jacket and left to go to his house. I needed answers, now. So I got to his house in about twenty minutes because i'm a pretty fast walker. I knocked on his door and his mum answered it, me and her got quite close when me and Josh dated so she smiled at me immediately. "Hey Jordan!" She seemed happy to see me so I said it back and she hugged me which felt pretty awkward if you ask me. But she told me I could come in because I said that Josh was ignoring me and she felt bad.

I went up to Josh's room and knocked on his door. "Go away mum!" He yelled and I just walked in. "I'm not your mum you idiot." I said and he rolled his eyes, he was sitting on his bed so I just went over and pushed him and got on beside him. "Why have you been ignoring me all morning!" I asked him and he continued to look at his phone, ignoring me. I grabbed it out of his hands and chucked it across the room. "Answer me!" I hit the back of his head. "Jordan, I thought we had something!" He said and I was confused.

(J- Jordan, JO- Josh)

J: So did I!
JO: So why are you dating Parker?
J: Why are you dating Eden!
JO: I'm using her of course!
J: That's what i'm doing with Parker and we're not even dating.
JO: Jordan, I can tell when you like someone.
J: I don't like him! I'm pretending that I do so I can make him do stupid things!
JO: Well why are you here?
J: Because, I like you, not him. Stella's over at his house just now telling him and I came to you..

I was embarrassed that I said that but It was the truth. "You still like me?" He asked and I nodded and looked down. "Yes." I mumbled and he lifted my chin up, making me look like him. "I like you two." He admitted and I was relived that he didn't laugh at me so I hugged him but that didn't seem like enough for him. And he started leaning in to kiss me, slowly. So I done it back, until our faces were only about one inch away from each other so I slapped him quickly and pulled away. "Hey! I thought you liked me!" He held his face from the pain and I laughed. "I do! But I don't want to kiss you, ever again." I said and pushed him jokingly and he done it back. "Let's forget about Eden and Parker and focus on us." He said and I nodded before hugging him again. "Your lucky I'm even hugging you." I whispered in his ear. "Oh, I know." He whispered back, huskily and we just hang out for the next few hours before I went home to go ask Stella how it went with Parker.

Stella's POV:

I was in Parker's room, ready to tell him about Jordan. I don't know why I was doing this because I should really be letting her do it, I mean it is her love triangle after all. "Why are you here?" He asked impatiently, I just came round without asking and he told me to make it quick because he had to do things at the front door so I had to do this quick. "Jordan sent me." I told him and his eyes widened and asked what she wanted. "She uhh- she doesn't like you like that." I said to him and I could tell it made him upset. It was short and sweet, he accepted it but I could tell that he was hurt but I decided to leave that to Jordan to fix so I went home and told her and she told me about her and Josh which was honestly pretty shocking on how well it went and maybe those two could get back together??
I doubted it but you never know, there's always a possibility.
