Right Side of My Neck || Jc Caylen fanfic

Xena

It had been just about two weeks since I last saw Jc. We continued texting everyday and updated each other on our lives and shenanigans. Jc and I continued on building our friendship and everything felt so great, that is until. Stacy, Alyssa, Amalia and I headed to a rave. Maria left out of town and went to Miami for a few days. We were at the rave and after a few hours of a lot of drinks and smoking we were completely out of it and planned on leaving soon, I bumped into someone as I was struggling to make my way out of the huge crowds. I look up and to my surprise I see my ex, Colby Brock.

"sorry," I slurred trying my best to quickly get out of such an awkward situation.

"Hey," Colby said as he reached out to me putting a hand on my shoulder. "I haven't seen you in forever!" he shouted over the loud music playing over the two of us.

"yeah I know," I awkwardly chuckle. why did he have to be here?

"I'm sorry," he said. "I hope you know that every-" I cut him off.

"it's okay, everything is behind us. Bye Colby." I told him walking away.

"Xena wait!" he shouted.

Alyssa looked back at me confused, "Did I just see your ex?" she asked.

"ugh yes, keep going im gonna get sick." I said, we rushed our way out finally to the gates and exited.

I didn't know what to feel, about the fact that I bumped into him after our bad breakup and also just sick from all of the consumptions of alcohol and weed. I sat down.

"hey don't worry guys I ordered an uber," Stacy said reassuring us.

I felt as if I just got hit by a truck of emotions.

Jc

it's been half a day since Xena has texted me back. I started to grow lonely after a few hours and being home alone, I didn't really know what to do with myself except just play video games and streaming and i caught up on a few tv shows. I was already pretty upset, just finding out my ex moved on quickly. Why am I such a hopeless romantic?

incoming call from Bratz doll 🧍🏻‍♀️.....

I picked up the phone and got comfortable in bed.

"Hi jccc," Xena greeted me removing her makeup and getting ready for bed.

"What's up? You ignored me half of the day but it's okay I'm just going to pretend like I'm not salty about it." I said doing a dramatic sigh for effects.

"I know I'm sorry, I start drinking early and I got a hold of edibles I tried writing you back a text but the sentences were just a bunch of nonsense I think you wouldve laughed at me," she chuckled, I could still note that she was still a bit under the influence. She might've had a rough night but at the end of the day nothing dims her beauty.

"It's okay I get it, I used to be crazy too believe it or not. I still drink just not so much," I said laughing.

"So how was your day? you said it didn't go all that better than mine." She asked.

I sighed. I mean it should be noticeable to her that I like her, but I also don't want to seem clingy and way too attached so early, we're just friends right now.

"Aw cheer up butter cup whats wronggg?" She asked turning off her room lights before heading to her bed.

"Nothing, I just didn't have much to do today I guess. Spending too much time alone makes  me think." I said.

"Well what's wrong?" She asked. "Don't be shy whats on your mind?" She said making a silly face to the camera.

"Well I don't know, just kind of stressing about the girl that I like." I say. There was a few seconds of silence before Xena spoke.

"Oh, there's a girl you like? Tell me about her." She asked.

"Well we talk a lot, she's kind of amazing and really beautiful. Talented, smart, a little goofy." I explained.

"Okay nice," she said.

"So whats stressing you so much if she's that great?" She asked me. I don't think she knows yet that I'm implying to her. I sighed.

"We live pretty far away from each other," I said.

"Anddd?" She added.

She wasn't going to get it.

"Never mind Xena," I let out a laugh.

"What? I'm trying to figure out what the real concern is I think you're overthinking it. If you like her that much let her know, it doesn't have to be now but maybe just when you feel ready." She said.

Shes so pure though. And she was right, maybe i am just overthinking it and being a little bitch about it.

"It's not like your hard to like Jc," she said in a serious tone and kind of smiling at me, I felt a sense of hope.

"Wow okay that actually does boost my confidence," I said running my hand through my hair.

Xena

Jc and I joked around for a bit hopefully lightening up the mood a bit. I did feel a bit jealous though. He likes someone else? And here I thought we were kind of building some sort of romantic connection but that's on me, I shouldve never gotten my hopes up.

"What about you what happened with your ex?" Jc asked in a bit of a better mood.

"Well you know," I sighed. "I don't know it's been a while already. We had a great relationship and then we saw each other less and less and it just didn't work out, we got into an argument when we broke up and he admitted to lying and cheating on me." I explained. I felt tears stinging my eyes but I didn't want to cry.

"He cheated on you? He must be a complete and total dumb ass." Jc said.

"Yeah. Well what can you do, I'm kind of over it now." I said.

"I guess that's why I have a hard time trusting, I want to know that the next person I love won't do that to me." I said continuing to let a tear fall from my face.

"It's okay Xena, I got you don't even worry. I'll fight anyone that crosses you." He said jokingly at the end and making me smile.

"I haven't told you this enough I'm so happy we met Jc," I said doing a hand heart for the camera and for him to see. He shot me one back. And throughout the night we kept discussing things. At some point we both got tired and just drifted off to sleep while still on the call. Jc completely slumped but I could still view the imagery of his curly hair and closed eyes.

"Good night Jc," I said before falling asleep.
