Chapter 37- Great Minds Think Alike

"Leave, you're not the boy you'd say you'd be." -Going Nowhere, Little Mix

Jordan’s P.O.V

Closer than you think. Closer than you think. Closer than you think.

I bet Justin really does love to confuse me, because I have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. If the right guy for me were close to me at all, than I would be with him right now.

But no, right now I practically have no one.

Ugh.

After talking a bit, I told Justin that I should be getting home. He gave me a hug and told me to call him if I ever needed anything because he would be in Boston for the next couple of days.

Gosh, I’m so glad I have a good friend like him who actually cares.

I pulled my hood over my head and started to walk home. It must’ve been around 2 or 3 in the afternoon right now. It felt like I was out for a very long time.

I searched my pockets and pulled out my iPod along with my earbuds. I put my earbuds in and started playing Ed Sheeran.

Ohh Ed Sheeran, how I love you and your ginger hair and your incredible voice AND your amazing songs.

“Maybe if my boyfriend was anything like Ed Sheeran, he’d actually care about me.” I mumbled to myself and continued to walk.

I was only walking for about 10 minutes when I felt someone grab me from behind.

“What the-“ I didn’t get to finish my sentence because the person covered my mouth and pulled me to some corner.

The person finally let go of my mouth and threw me against the wall. I rubbed the back of my head and groaned. “Ouchh. Listen here, when I find out who you are, I will f-“ I stopped when I realized who was staring back at me.

“Nathan?!” I exclaimed and stared at a very puffy eyed and tired Nathan. “What the heck was that?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!”

Nathan scratched the back of his head and looked at the ground. “I was stupid. So stupid. I’m sorry, Jordan.”

I raised my eyebrow. “What?”
Nathan looked up and threw his arms out in disbelief. “Jordan, I’m sorry, what is there to explain about that?”

Ugh, this is gonna end up exactly like this morning.

“Nathan, what ISN’T there to explain? Honestly. I don’t wanna sound annoying but, after what you’ve done, you can’t expect to get me back with just an apology.”

“So what do you want me to do?!” he yelled.

I racked my brain for a second and thought. And then it hit me.

I walked up to Nathan so I was only inches away from his face. I saw his green eyes glimmer with a bit of sorrow.

“Prove to me that you care about me.” I whispered softly and turned my heel the other direction.

You can’t break a girl’s heart and expect her to come crawling back to you so easily.

I opened the front door and stepped inside. The place looked no different than how I left it this morning. “IDIOTS, I’M HOME!” I shouted on my way in.

“Jordan?”

“Jordan?!”

“JORDAN?!?!?!”

I heard many screams from upstairs as soon as I stepped in. Soon enough, I saw the girls all run down the stairs excitedly and attack me with a huge hug.
