"Not much of you know me but... Well. I've known Andy for three years and Mrs Jordan asked me if I could say a few words. Andy always had a smile on his face, he cared about people. He only had to look at you and you'd feel like the most important person in the world. I remember after my parents died he and I went to an ice cream shop. He said... If one day I leave this world I want you not to be sad. But to smile and then go and get ice cream." I didn't believe a word I was saying but if it helped his family I could deal with it. Till he went crazy Andy had been a pleasant person and I tried to remember him as that kind gentle man rather than the sadistic bastard he had been towards the end. I looked around at the smiling faces and Mrs Jordan had tears staining her face but I carried on. "Andy. I want you to know I forgive you. I know that wasn't you. Because I remember all of the things you did for me before it all got out of hand.... I still care for you. And I hope you enjoy sitting up there with Da Vinci sipping champagne." 

After my speech I sat back down and the priest said some final words and we prayed before a song from Andy's favorite movie (The Fault In Our Stars) was played. I sighed and Mrs Jordan linked arms with me as we all made our way to the bar. I swallowed hard and she lead me to sit at a table with her and Andy's siblings Jordan and Caecy. Jordan looked exactly like Andy except he had dirty blonde hair and a fringe that swept across his forehead. He had green eyes and higher cheek bones. I smiled at him. Jordan was older than Andy and I but he had always been the most childish. Andy acted like the big brother and had catered for their every need. Jordan nodded civilly and I stood. "I need to go to the bathroom." Mrs Jordan nodded and I quickly disappeared into the crowd of people near the bar. I locked myself in a cubicle and ran my hands down my face. Holy shit. I really had to get out of here. I called Alex I can't take this anymore.

"Alex can you ..... Can you come pick me up? Please." He hesitated and I closed my eyes.

"Okay. Text me the address and I'll be five minutes I swear." I swallowed hard and bit my lip I sighed and hung up then I walked to the bar and ordered a whiskey. Jordan walked over to me and sat beside me at the bar and looked at me with a concerned expression "don't beat yourself up over what happened to him.... It must have been super hard to make that speech.... After what he did." I nodded and looked at him, he was so sweet. His brother was murdered and he was making me feel better. It was my brother that killed him and he was here being nice to me. I bit my lower lip them my drink arrived "I didn't do it for him." Jordan nodded and stared at me as if he understood exactly what I meant. He moved closer and said "how are you?... It feels like we haven't hung out in forever!" I blinked looking at him. One, how the fuck did he think I was? And two, why the fuck would I hang out with my ex boyfriends big brother after we broke up? Of course we hadn't spoke in forever because when you experienced a break up as awful as mine that was to be expected. The exes family were meant to hate me. But instead they missed me. Cared about me. That's fucked up. In my opinion anyway.

But lately my whole life seemed to revolve around being fucked up so I just plastered on a kind smile and replied sweetly "I know! Its been so long. Well I am dating someone.... I think.... I mean its all complicated. I don't know how I am." He frowned listening he touched my knee and squeezed. Okay. No! Boundaries little Jordan! I batted his hand away but it didn't seem to faze him. "I'm always here if you need to.... Talk." Somehow I had a feeling he didn't want to 'talk' I looked towards the door. He was here. Except he wasn't Alex. It was Jamie. I stood, he was the last person I wanted to see! I pointed to Jamie "he's the person u think I'm still going out with." Jordan's jaw almost hit the floor when he recognized Jamie. I walked over to Jamie with a grim expression on my face I muttered "get me out of here"

Jamie wasted no time in walking me outside to Alex's car. The bastard sent Jamie in and waited outside. I narrowed my eyes at Alex and sat in the passenger seat forcing Jamie to sit in the back. Fair to say it was pretty obvious that I was pissed off. I looked out the window and Alex lowered his voice so Jamie couldn't hear "I'm sorry I told him where I was going and that I was worried because you sounded hurt and he demanded that I take him with me.... I couldn't say no." I didn't even reply I just glared at him without saying a word then I checked my phone. Two messages from Jamie.

Baby hope the funeral goes okay I love you xxx

Hey baby Alex told me you called him asking to be picked up, everything okay? Xxx

I deleted the texts and Jamie clearly saw me because he gripped the back of my seat and growled to Alex. "Pull over. Me and Hayleigh need to talk." I looked at Alex who looked at me with a worried expression on his face. And although I had succeeded in letting him know I was angry, I had pissed him off in the process. And Jamie almost never got angry so it was always sort of scary for anyone when he did. Anyone except me. Alex pulled over and I got out of the car slamming the door. Jamie grabbed my elbow and lead me far enough away from the car that Alex couldn't hear. I stared up at him and he looked down at me, his eyes full of concern. He wasn't angry... He was scared. He folded his arms looming into my eyes "want to tell me what the fuck is going on?"

I looked up at him and growled "you cheated on me Jamie!" He looked at me as if I had just drop kicked a puppy and replied "what the fuck are you talking about?!" I teared up and pulled up the screenshot on my phone and showed him. I then explained "I saw this, then in the morning I heard you on the phone. I was coming to apologize and I heard you talking to her!" Jamie stared at the screenshot stunned but his face confirmed my fears as soon as he looked up at me again. I snatched my phone away and tears blurred my vision, I could feel the lump in my throat and I turned away growling lowly through tears "I want you out of Proudlocks house and back at your parents when I get back from Alex's." Jamie didn't say a word he didn't even try to stop me he just stood there. I walked back to the car fast before he could hear me cry. He shouted "Hayleigh come back! I'm sorry! It was a stupid mistake! I stopped seeing her because I love you Hayleigh!"

I screamed at him "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED TO FUCK SOMEONE ELSE TO FIGURE OUT YOU LOVED ME. WE'RE OVER JAMIE. FUCK YOU." I got into Alex's car and Jamie started walking to us.

"Drive." Alex frowned and opened his mouth to argue but said nothing and put the car into ignition. He drove fast down the road and rested a hand on my shoulder "he's an idiot Hayleigh. A stupid little boy. It's going to be okay. You can stay at mine if you'd like." I nodded silently although my body still shook with silent sobs. I wiped the tears from my eyes and turned on the radio. Whitehorse by Taylor Swift started to play and I broke down in tears again. How could Jamie do that to me? I thought we were in love, that we were meant for each other. And he fucked someone else. Stupid me for thinking it could work out for once all because I'd known him and wanted to be his since I was 10.

A/N hey guys xxx holy mother of god how will Jamie and Hayleigh ever get passed THAT?! I decided Jason Dilaurentis from Pretty Little Liars would suit the character of Jordan what do you all think? Keep reading :)
