At Long Last (book 3 Spandor collection)(BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

Jordan's Pov

I don't like Maylee. She seems too close to Andor for my liking.

"She isn't bad you know. It's just Anne you have to worry about. I don't trust her." Andor seems to read my thoughts.

I snap my head up at him. "Anne is not the problem. She helped me all 7 months you were gone! She is one of my closest and most trusted friend. She is like my sister. I can trust her with my life."

"That's how I feel about Maylee." Andor snaps harshly.

"This is like Justice all over again." I mumble to myself.

"How do you think I felt during those seven months?!" Andor is walking towards me.

"You left me Andor! Not the other way around!" I defend myself.

"At least it was for good intentions! I didn't go and make out with my friend behind your back! Multiple times I might add!" Andor is shouting now.

My body freezes from any motion. How dare he?! I can tell Andor has realized what he has said, but he doesn't look sorry.

"I waited every goddamn day for you to come back Andor. Each day, I lost more hope. I got no sleep because I waited for you to return. And you come back with a girl who you can trust probably more than me. Your own boyfriend." I grit through my tightly clenched jaw.

"Jordan..." Andor trails off, thinking what to say.

Anne and Maylee come into view.

"What's going on?" Maylee asks.

"We heard yelling." Anne adds.

"Nothing." I shove past Andor and stalk my way to my tent.

Andor's Pov

I watch Jordan storm away.

"What happened? I know that wasn't nothing, you have never looked so angry." Maylee says.

The Anne girl doesn't leave. "He-you know what it doesn't matter."

"Andor yes it does. You're on the verge of tears. If it's about me I'd rather you tell me." Maylee's voice trails off.

"He's just upset I brought you with me. Its nothing personal." I lie and pull Maylee into a hug.

Anne mumbles something I can't hear, but Maylee must have hear it since she pulls away immediately, fire in her eyes.

"We are nothing but friends! We are like siblings! At least I am trying to help Andor after his argument!" Maylee gives Anne a look that could kill.

Anne opens her mouth to say something, but she quickly closes it and runs to Jordan, I am assuming.

"Why don't we head back to the campsite?" I suggest.

Maylee nods and we slowly head back.

"So why did no one else come, just you and Anne." I question.

"I don't think the others heard you and Jordan fighting. Anne and I were getting wood for the fire." Maylee explains to me.

I nod and we continue the walk in silence.

Walking Time Skip

Jordan's Pov

I sit in my tent, scrolling through my pictures. Lots of them include Andor, Tom, or Anne.

I shake off bad thoughts and put away my phone. I go outside my tent to find everyone discussing something.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"We are discussing sleeping arrangements. We did bring an extra tent, but Andor will have to share a tent with someone." Troye explains.

"Andor can stay with me. I don't mind." Maylee pipes up.

My heart is starting to snap in two. Andor glances over to me and then to Maylee.

"I think that Andor should stay with Jordan. They haven't seen each other for seven months so they should catch up." Sonja doesn't really say it as an opinion, but as a command. The atmosphere is tense. "I think that's a great idea." Tucker chimes in.

Tom nods, "Then it's settled. Andor will stay with Jordan."

I can tell that Andor and Maylee are both debating whether to say something or not. Their faces make me curious.

"It's fine. I can stay with Maylee. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable." Andor speaks in a cold voice.

Sonja looks over to me and I give her a reassuring smile. I really don't want to be in the same tent as Andor after our fight anyways.

Fight.

It hasn't even been 12 hours since Andor arrived back home and we have already had a fight.

But he did arrive back home with someone who he most likely trusts more than me. Ugh, I need to get my mind of this now.

"How about we make breakfast?" I suggest.

"Great idea! Sparklez and Anne, you cover getting the fire started. Tucker and Sonja, you cover eggs and backn. Troye and I will cover potatoes. Andor and Maylee, you work on getting your guy's tent made." Tom orders everyone.

Anne grabs my hand and pulls me to the woods. We begin to gather firewood. "What was the fight about?" Anne brings up. I decide to just tell her. She won't stop asking until I give her an answer, the real one.

During my little "story," I see Anne face go from angry to concerned to furious.

"How he fucking dare!?!" Anne drops the wood she had. "And he still doesn't know about that night with Tom I had. I want to tell him, but I won't break his heart again. I can't live with myself. I don't want to see him break." I can feel tears starting to form.

"Jordan," Anne voice and face softens, "you are going to have to tell him eventually."

"I know. I just want it to be when the time is right. And it didn't mean anything. We were drunk." I sigh and help Anne pick up the firewood.

Andor's Pov

"They were talking about a night Jordan and Tom had? How they were drunk and something happened. He said he didn't want to hurt you again; he wants to tell you when the time is right." Maylee tells me of Jordan and Anne's conversation she overheard.

What is Jordan talking about? Drunk with Tom? Not telling me until the time is right? Did he do something with Tom while I was away? Could Tom really do that to Troye? I know I haven't seen them together that much, but I can tell they really care about each other. What if this was before I left? When I was in the hospital?

"Andor? Is something wrong?" Maylee asks me.

"No. I just need to go for a walk. I will be back soon."
