Wallflower 2

Chapter 152

(Taylor's P.O.V)
She's my girl and I don't like it when other people try to get with my girl. I'm not jealous, I'm territorial. Jealous is when you want something that isn't yours, territorial is protecting what is already yours. I've been sitting here with Marcus talking to him about everything that has happened. How I would mess around with other girls and hurt Jade when doing so and how she messed with a few other guys and hurt me. I didn't tell him about her depression and cutting or anxiety. Marcus gives really great advice. He's really helpful too. He told me that Jade and Joe used to like each other when they first met but he doesn't know if they still feel the same. That made my blood boil and he could see that but he told me that if they do still feel the same, I shouldn't try to sabotage that because if I really love her then I should let her be happy even if that means I'm not in the picture. He reassured me that I'll always be a part of her life anyway because we're close.
I've grown close to this Marcus guy now but I'm still angry about Joe and Jade. I want to listen to Marcus' advice but it's hard because I'm stubborn. That's my girl and my girl only.
(Jade's P.O.V)
"How about we go inside and join everybody else?" Joe said.
"Okay." I said.
Joe and I stood up and walked inside. Taylor was still chatting away with Marcus. I think they'll become great friends.
"How about we go walk around town?" Louise suggested.
"That sounds fun. Let's go." Caspar said.
Everyone walked out the front door and Joe locked the door. It's about 73 degrees here so it's really nice out.
"We should walk around on the pier I love the pier." Zoey said.
Everyone agreed to go so some of us got into Zoey's car. Everybody went into Zoey's car since it was bigger except Joe and I. We took Joe's car. Before I got into the car Taylor stopped me. Joe was already in it.
"Don't do anything with him in there. I don't trust him." Taylor spoke harshly.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and went to walk away but Taylor grabbed my arm.
"I mean it Jade. You're mine." Taylor said.
"I'm not just some object Taylor and I don't recall you ever asking me to be your girlfriend so therefore, I'm not yours. You messed around with other girls but have the guts to call me yours. It doesn't work like that. You've never asked me you be yours." I yanked my arm away from him and got into the car.
Taylor's facial expression was a mixture of hurt and anger but I don't care right now. I just want to have fun and I don't want him to ruin this trip. I love Taylor to death but this trip is suppose to be fun.
"What was that about?" Joe asked.
"Just Taylor being his jealous self." I said and rolled my eyes.
"Is he upset that we're hanging out together?" Joe asked and I nodded.
Joe started the car and drove off. When we arrived at the pier we got out and met up with everybody else. It's around 2:30 pm now since we arrived at Joe's house around 11:40 and hung out for a bit there, then drove back to Brighton to go to the pier which was about a 40 minute long drive.
The beach looked amazing. The waves were crashing on the rocks and the water looked very pretty. There was a dock leading out to the water with a few benches.
"Alright, how about we all split up and go with a group of our choice and when we're done, we'll meet right here." Louise suggested.
"That sounds pretty fun. I'll go where Louise goes." Zoey said.
"Alright. Go with who you want. I'm going to take Jade sightseeing around the pier." Joe said with a smile.
Taylor did not look happy about that at all but like I've said before, this is going to be a fun trip.
We all split up and Joe and I walked together.
"So where are we going first?" I asked.
"Are you hungry at all?" Joe asked.
"Yeah. I haven't ate since before me and Taylor's flight." I said.
"Well then we need to get you some food. I was thinking of taking you to this little restaurant just down there. It has really nice food." Joe pointed to the restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we sat down at a table with just two chairs. Joe quickly rushed over to my chair and pulled it out for me before I sat down.
"What a gentleman. Thank you Joe." I smiled.
A waiter came over to us and gave us our menus.
"Hello. My name is Ryan and I'll be serving you today. Can I start you guys off with drinks?" The waiter asked.
"You order first. Ladies first." Joe smiled.
"I'll just take a regular tea please." I smiled.
"I'll take the same." Joe said.
"Alright. I'll be right back with those drinks." Ryan smiled and winked at me, then walked off into the kitchen.
Joe glared at Ryan as he walked away.
"What are thinking about getting?" Joe asked.
"Probably just chicken Alfredo." I said.
"Their chicken Alfredo here is really good. I might just get some seasoned chicken with green beans." Joe said.
"My mom always used to cook green beans." I smiled.
Joe knows about what happened to my mom and dad.
The waiter came back with our drinks and set them on the table.
"Are you guys ready to order?" Ryan asked.
"Yes. She'll order first." Joe said.
"Alright, what can I get you gorgeous?" Ryan asked with a smile.
"I'll just take the chicken Alfredo." I said.
"I'll take the seasoned chicken with green beans." Joe said.
"Alright. I'll be right back with your food." The waiter smiled at me and walked off.
Joe had his elbows on the table and his hands were clasped together and his leg was shaking under the table. I knew he was getting frustrated.
"Joe, are you okay?" I asked.
"Hm? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Joe said an unclasped his hands but kept shaking his leg.
A little bit later Ryan came back with our food and set our plates in front of us.
"Enjoy your food. Especially you beautiful." Ryan said to me.
Joe took a deep breath and I didn't say anything. Ryan walked off and Joe and I began to eat. I'm glad Joe hasn't said anything to Ryan. If that was Taylor, he would've beat the guy and left the restaurant.
"So how's your meal?" Joe asked.
"It's really good. You were right about it being amazing. Yours looks good too." I smiled.
"Here, try some." Joe said and cut a piece of chicken for me.
He stabbed the chicken and a green bean with his fork and held it up to me. I took the chicken and green bean off his fork with my mouth and chewed it. It was really good. After I ate it I spoke.
"That's really good Joe." I said.
**
While we ate, Joe kept making jokes causing me to laugh hysterically. I didn't laugh loud though because it would've drawn attention to us in this small restaurant. When we finished, Ryan gave us our bill.
"Here's your bill. You should call me sometime sweetheart. I'll give you my number and we should go on a date somewhere better." Ryan said.
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and looked at Joe for help.
"Yeah babe. Maybe you could go on a date with this guy even though you're in a relationship. Maybe he goes for girls in relationships." Joe said.
I tried not to smile.
"Whatever dude. Like you're any good for her. Just look at you. How about you come for a real date with me gorgeous. Maybe I could feel you up and take you to my house and-" Ryan was cut off my Joe's fist hiring him right in the nose, making it bleed instantly.
I few people gasped and some clapped.
"Don't you ever talk to a girl like that again. Why on earth would she want to go on a date with some pathetic pervert." Joe said angrily.
The other waiters and waitress' were behind the counter watching. Everyone in the little restaurant was.
"Learn some respect and you might actually get a girl. Don't try to pick up every girl you see douchebag." Joe said.
"Listen to him!" Someone yelled.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, I'll be leaving now and I'm taking my girlfriend with me." Joe said.
"Wait!" I said and grabbed mine and Joe's teas.
I lifted the cups and poured them both on the guy. I set the cups down and smiled.
"Bye sweetheart." I sarcastically said.
People began clapping and Joe and I both smiled. We left the restaurant and as soon we got a little bit away from it, we began laughing our heads off.
(Joe probably wouldn't do something like this but it's a story. Go along with it😂💕)
"Did you see his face?" Joe laughed.
"It was priceless! He was calling me sweetheart and it was disgusting!" I said with a laugh.
"Oh man, that was incredible." Joe said.
"Indeed it was." I smiled.
Joe and I walked in silence for a little bit before I spoke up.
"Thanks for doing that Joe." I said.
"No problem. Anything for you." Joe smile and kissed my temple.
(Taylor's P.O.V)
I have no idea where they are or what they're doing and it pisses me off. This trip was for US to be together, not her and that Joe guy. They could be making out on a bench somewhere and I would never know it happened unless I saw it myself. That's my girl. No own messes with my girl.
(Jade's P.O.V)
It's currently 5:13 pm now since Joe and I spent a while at the restaurant talking and catching up. We spent a good hour or two at that restaurant. We walked to the part of the pier where the beach is and walked down the dock. We sat down on a bench and stared at the waves.
"Can you explain to me what happened between you and Taylor and everything that has happened? I overheard him and Marcus talking and he doesn't seem like a very good guy and it doesn't seem like you've had it the easiest." Joe said.
"Are you sure you want me to explain it all?" I asked.
"Positive. We've got time." Joe said.
"Alright." I took a deep breath.
I told him about how Taylor would tell me he loves me, then mess with other girls. I told him about the nights that seemed to last forever due to my endless crying because of how hurt I was. I told him about my depression, anxiety, and cutting. I told him about my struggles with eating. I told him about the trips to the hospital because of suicide attempts and cutting. I told him about how I'd also mess with some guys from time to time and how Matt and I got really drunk that one night and slept together. I told him about how Taylor would beat any guy that I messed around with even though they were some of our closest friends. I told him about what Dom did to me that made me stop talking to him. I told him about why I couldn't talk before and the bullying at school. Lastly, I told him about the times I nearly got raped. When I got done telling Joe what happened, I began to cry. Hard.
"I'm so sorry Jade. I never knew any of this. I'm so glad you told me. I care about you so much, you have no idea. I'm so sorry all of this happened." Joe said.
His voice cracked and I knew he was crying too. Joe pulled me on his lap and squeezed me. I buried my head in his neck and cried.
"I hate it." I cried.
"I know Jade I know. I'm going to be here more. Call me whenever you need someone to talk to." Joe sniffled.
Joe rubbed my back and calmed me down. I finally calmed down a little bit later and we stood up.
"Should we call Zoey so we can go?" Joe asked and I nodded.
Joe called Zoey on his phone and she said that everyone was ready to go as well. Joe and I walked to where we're suppose to meet everybody and minutes later they all showed up. Taylor was talking with Marcus as they walked.
"Shall we go back to Joe's?" Zoey asked and everyone said yes.
We got into the cars that we did on the way here and drove back.

I'm glad I'm getting ideas again. Do you guys think Joe and Jade will get together? Do you think Taylor will stop being so jealous? I'll keep writing chapters and publishing them more!
I Love you guys!
