《 Faint-hearted 》

《 Chapter 5 》

It was almost mid-way through the movie, and Jaylen still hadn't came back yet. I was starting to get Kinda worried, so I got up and ran down the stairs anxiously rushing out the theatre door.
I had tried to find the bathroom, taking random turns into different hallways and movie entrances until I had finally found the bathrooms. I was just about to knock and see if he was still in there but to my surprise I heard two voices coming from the bathroom making me hesitant to knock. Though it wasnt just two random voices coming from the bathroom, it was two very familiar voices. It was what sounded to be Missy Connors, and I could hear the second person's voice. Which from I could faintly hear, was for some reason ..Jaylen.

"I can't do this Missy, she's my bestfriend and only that. Deals off alri- "
I could hear her cut him off.

"So? Why did you pick her then?

"Because Missy, I wanted to pick you!
But you had already picked Hayden, and I'd embarras myself if I had confessed right then."

"Aw, Jaylen that's so cute. I'm very honored, though It would break Haydens heart if I just left him like that. I'm no player Jay, sorry."

"I know. And it would break Adelines heart if I were to leave her too."

"Looks sorta like a you problem. Unlike you I'm actually happy with Hayden, and now your just gonna have to break little addys poor heart, huh?"
She started to giggle which really set me off, was she really this much of a jerk to everyone?

"I-I thought you were my friend, why are being like this, Missy?"

"Oh shut up! You were probably just becoming my friend to try and date me. That's what every other guy does, and I thought just because you were the smart, little shy kid that you would actually wanna be just friends with me,
guess not."

I was heart broken, was I just some stupid deal too him? How come out of all girls he could have to picked in their stupid "deal" he picked me? He knew he'd have to break my heart yet he still picked me, why couldn't he have just admitted he liked her days prior. Not only am I made about that, but the fact that he really doesn't like me back. I was right, he likes her.

Tears started forming in my eyes as my back was gliding down the bathroom door. I was just sitting there, sobbing into my dress. That was until the bathroom door swung open from behind me, and as I looked up all I could see Jaylen looking down at me with his face almost as pale as my as shoes. He saw the drool running down my mouth and the tears streaming down my eyes, causing him to crouch down to hug me. Though I wiggled out of his tight hold and squirmed away, standing up and aggressively swiping the tears off my face yelling in great agony and pain from my broken heart.

"Am I just some stupid object too you?
What is this stupid deal you guys even made anyways!"
He stood there, emotionless knowing that I heard almost their entire conversation.
"I-i didn't mean it Addy."
"Answer the question, idiot.
Am I just some stupid deal to you?"
"No of course not, please just listen ill explain everything later!"
"Sure, SURE you will! I mean you lied to me about ever liking me in the first place, so I wouldn't be surprised if your lying to my face my right now too."
"I'm so sorry, I just-"
"I don't know why I ever believed you'd ever like me anyways.
Stay out of my life."
I ran away from the bathrooms and I hear his desperate screams for me to come back to him and his mouth full of excuses, but I was so done with him I couldn't help myself but ignore.
"PLEASE ADELINE! COME BACK-"
The screams and yells became more faint the farther I ran, my mind was telling me to go back and listen to him though my gut was telling me otherwise. And as my father always said before he passed, always trust your gut.
