Love hurts

      After cooling down, I went back down stairs to join the party again. I fixed my skirt while walking down stairs. I went over to the table by the boys to get a drink. Bryce immediately looked over at me, almost as if he was questioning what happened and why i got mad. I really don't know why I got mad, but i'm gonna blame it on the fact that one i'm questioning my choice, and because being with Jaden felt right. 

I dropped my head and looked away and who did I see? Him. Jaden standing right there staring at me. He winked at me. I think Bryce caught a glimpse of the wink, because just as I winked back I heard yelling in Bryce's voice. I quickly snapped my head around to see Bryce on top of Jaden punching the shit out of him.  I ran over to them but Josh pushed me back so I wouldn't get hurt. "STOP BRYCE STOP BRYCE PLEASE STOP" I yelled in agony.  Blake got on top of Bryce trying to restrain him from hurting Jaden. Blake got Bryce off and took him outside. Quinton grabbed Jaden and brought him to the living room. " Are you okay? " Josh said. "Yes, go take care of Bryce I'll be out there in a minute." I responded shakily. 

Noah started getting people out of the house. I went by Noah and gave him a side hug and stood there helping get people out, trying to calm down.  the only people left in the house were me, Noah, Jaden, and Quentin, The other boys Josh, Bryce and Blake were outside sitting by the pool. I looked over at Jaden and saw his nose was bleeding. I turned away and went outside. I tapped Josh and Blake on the shoulder and nodded for them to give us some privacy. 

I sat down next to Bryce, and put my hand on his thigh. He put his hand on top of mine and looked up at me. "I'm sorry Bryce." I said picking my head up. "Are you cameron? Are you really sorry?" He responded. " I am, I really am." I said starting to cry. " oh, Cam I don't know what got into me i didn't mean to do that to him, I love him he's my brother." He said wiping my tears. "Bryce" I said softly. "don't say it cam, please just don't say it. Its okay i understand." He said shaking his head. " Bryce, I'm sorry." Pulling him into a hug.  "you can go, be with him, it's okay." He said in a saddened tone. 

I got up walking back into the house. I walked over to Jaden, he looked awful. His nose was still bleeding and his eyebrow was cut. He had a wet rag up to his eye and a cotton swab up his nose. I sat down next to him on the couch. I wiped away his tear keeping my hand on his cheek. I put my forehead to his. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I pulled away and looked in his eyes. The most pain i've ever seen was in his eyes. 

"Why did you come up there earlier?" I asked. "I don't know, I knew you liked me and I could see the aggravation in your face when bryce swatted at your hand " He said looking at my shoes. "Oh, baby. Jaden you didn't have to do that." I said picking his chin up. "Do you know who he was texting? "He asked. "No, i didn't see the name." I responded, curious now of who he was texting. " It was maddy. He's been hooking up with maddy behind our backs, I found out a a few days ago." He said trying to avoid eye contact. "Maddy, Like my ex best friend Maddy, like your girlfriend Maddy." I said, needing to know. "Ex girlfriend, but yeah." He said now making eye contact. 

I started to cry. I fell onto Jaden. He put his arms around me. I sobbed into his blood soaked shirt. " I'm sorry Cam, I really am sorry." He said whispering in my ear. He was breathing heavy so I got off of him and laid back on the couch. He wiped my tears off and said " Don't cry, You're ruining your makeup." I giggled.
