Chapter 39

Celestia's Pov:

The whole night I couldn't sleep. Worse, was that Jaden's room was next to mine.

The fact that he was next door, this was psychologically messing with my head.

I checked the time and it was two am. I got to my window to get some fresh air.

It was a good thing Jaden's windows were closed and the lights were out.

I sat next to my window admiring the moon and stars but it reminded me only of Jaden. The times we spent on the rooftop.

Today in this lonely night, it was the moon who held me tight.

I wanted to know the reasons for whatever he did. All I needed from his side was for him to communicate with me.

I guess it is better to stay committed to my dreams. Those nights I dreamt of Jaden. They are more loyal than whatever he did.

I started feeling cold, I closed my windows and went to bed. Tomorrow there is no school, which is a good thing. I tried sleeping without thinking of Jaden.

The next day, I woke up at 10am. I kinda didn't want to go downstairs because Brad is gonna interrogate me like an FBI about yesterday.

But I had to go because I needed to eat. Once I was downstairs I didn't see him so I took my breakfast and went to sit by the pool. Dad already went to work as usual.

I heard barking next door, I think it's Tucker playing. Just a few seconds later Brad came to sit next to me.

"Buenos día dormilón!" Brad said. (good morning sleepy head)

"Buenos día," I said knowing very well he's about to question me.

"You okay?"

I nodded.

"So... are you gonna tell me what happened yesterday. Does Jaden have to do something with it cause I didn't even get the chance to talk to him, he already left."

There's no way I was bringing Jaden into it even though the whole thing happened because of him. They were friends since they were kid I was not gonna ruined it.

"No he did nothing, I already told you I went to Nessa, and when I was walking back it started raining." I explained.

I was panicking because I don't know what I was gonna say about me crying.

"Yeah you told me, but were you crying?"

"Well... Huh...That's because... I thought I was lost and my phone was dead. I didn't know what to do, that's why I started crying," I told him, praying he would buy it.

He shook his head.

"It was really about that?"

"Yeah why would I lied,"

"I thought it was a guy matter, you know you're going to Nessa's and coming back with puffy eyes." He explained.

"You could have said Jaden to wait for you,"

"Yeah well he insisted but I didn't want him to wait."

I always told Brad everything but since Jaden I've been lying to him. I feel guilty.

"Okay, I'm gonna go clean my room," He said getting up but I stopped him.

"Wait,"

"Si," He raised an eyebrow.

"I needed to ask you something, sit,"

He nods, taking a seat. I should ask him about Jaden's dad. Because something is telling me whatever happen yesterday has to do with me mentioning  his dad.

"Huh, I've never seen Jaden's dad. Is he always at work or is it something else," I said nervously.

"Why are you asking that?," He asked. His eyes were full of curiosity.

It looks like he didn't want to tell me and was not gonna tell me.

"That's because I never saw him, even when Jaden's mom called me the other day,.... nevermind I'm going to do the dishes," I said, changing the subject, getting up.

He either was gonna want to find out why I want to know about it or he wouldn't tell me about his dad.

I didn't want him to doubt anything. So it was better to change the subject.

While doing the dishes, I came across the food container that Janet gave us tacos. I got an idea. I can go give it to her back and try to ask about her husband. But I don't think it is a good idea.

I quickly washed the dishes. Before going out, I shouted telling Brad I'm going to drop the food container there before going out.

Even though I didn't want to talk to Jaden yet, I needed to find out.

Once I got into the front yard, I heard talking no it was like yelling.

I got in front of the door when I heard Janet talking.

"Jaden you must understand we don't have any choice. He's coming tonight."

"Really mom, you are really letting this man come here, I just fucking can't believe it," Jaden said.

Who was coming tonight? Jaden sounds angry and tired at the same time.

"He's your dad Jaden, he obviously wants to meet you,"

They were talking about his dad. But what happened. As for Jaden it looks like he isn't on good terms with his dad.

I decided to knock on the door, then his mom saw me.

"Oh my dear, come in," I got in and Jaden was on the stairs. I looked at him and his eyes were dark and intense. He then went upstairs.

"Sorry about that...," She said, embarrassed that I heard them.

"Oh no I didn't hear anything. I just came to give you your food container and the food was finger licking good," I said smiling at her.

"Thank you but I bet it's not as good as your mom's," She giggled and went to the kitchen.

"Do you want anything to drink?," She politely asked.

"No thank you, I kinda need to talk to Jaden, can I go upstairs,"

I should ask Jaden about it. I know it's something about his dad that made him act like that yesterday. I just hope he talks to me about it.

"Of course, I think he's in his room," She told me and I headed into his room.

I wonder what's gonna happen today.
