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

Chapter 5

Anne's Pov

I replay what just happened in my mind over and over again. I am still wondering if Andor found out. I don't think so. No one saw me watching. I didn't mean to. I was just gathering more wood and returning when I saw everyone retreating from Andor and Jordan. I was curious. It felt like I was invading their privacy when I watched them. I feel guilty now.

Jordan is sitting on the bench. Everyone else has disappeared from the area. Probably to fish.

"Did he find out yet?" I whisper to Jordan as I take a seat next to him.

Jordan shakes his head. "No. But he will most likely ask about it later."

"I can't believe myself. I could have killed Maylee. I could have fucking killed someone. All because I was mad about her eavesdropping. What's wrong with me?" Jordan puts his face in his hands.

"It's okay Jordan. You were upset. We all get upset." I try relaxing him.

"No! It's not okay! She could have died! And I wouldn't have cared until after it happened!" Jordan begins to sob.

Okay. Good friend isn't working. I guess Reality Friend will.

I take a deep breath before beginning.

"Jordan. Goddamnit. You can't let this stuff anger you. He is going to find out soon anyways. It happened over several months ago. If he can't forgive you, then you need to cancel the pity party and move on. I am not saying he won't forgive you, I am just saying that if things so South then you need to be prepared."

Andor's Pov

I sit next to Maylee and hold her trembling hand. "Maylee talk to me. What's wrong?" I say in an attempt to get her to talk.

"This is all my fault. If I would've stayed back and waited for you in Urulu everything would've been fine." Maylee mumbles. "Maylee it wasn't your fault Jordan is acting like he is. In all honesty I don't think he was ready to see me again. Change is hard for him, and I know I've changed a ton since my dad's funeral. Don't blame yourself." She squeezes my hand and I squeeze back.

"Sometimes I wish you would've never found me. That I could've just-"

"Don't you dare say you wish you could've just died." Maylee jerks her hand from mine.

"Well its the truth! If you wouldn't have found me I would've jumped. Then everything would be okay between you and Jordan." Maylee says her voice raising ever so slightly.

I can see the bruises starting to appear where Jordan's hands were.

"You don't know that! M-" She's staring over at the campsite. I look and see the red lightning shooting from the sky.

We both run towards the campsite. Maylee stops once a figure becomes distinct. Dianite.

"I'M ASHAMED IN ALL OF YOU! FOR THE WAY YOU'VE TREATED ANDOR AND MAYLEE!" Dianite yells.

"You are only upset because you have hearts for Maylee." A Mianitee boy says. I know he's a Mianitee because no one in their right mind would speak to a god like that.

Dianite just teleports off. After a long silence Maylee decides its time for us to show ourselves.

"So what have you all been up to?" She asks and I notice the suns starting to set.

"Nothing." Anne is quick to respond. I sit next to Jordan on a log, Maylee next to me.

"So Andor you got any stories to tell us?" Jordan holds my hand gently.

"The most interesting thing that happened was meeting Maylee to be quite honest. But being in Utopia was fun. Jordan, you would've loved it."

Jordan's Pov

Andor looks at me with flirtatious eyes. "Utopia? What's it like?" I ask and move closer to him.

"Well everyone there is really big in technology. Big Reactors and labs everywhere. I didn't understand most of it but that didn't matter because I thought of you." Andor is looking up into my eyes and smiling from ear to ear.

"Sounds amazing." I blush at Andor's last sentence.

Narrator's Pov

The rest of the day went smoothly. Andor and Jordan made up. Everyone had forgotten about the fights. Before they knew it, their energy was wearing out.

Jordan's Pov

I yawn. Everyone but Andor, Maylee, Anne, and I has gone to bed.

"I don't know about you guys, but I NEED my sleep." Anne says. "Night Anne!" I say as Anne climbs up her tree. She pulls a blanket over her and falls asleep immediately after.

"I am going to bed too. See you in the morning guys." Maylee walks off to her and Andor's tent.

I want Andor to stay with me, in my tent. I know what I thought earlier, but I changed my mind.

"Um. I guess we should be hitting the sack ourselves." Andor doesn't seem to know what to say. I nod in agreement.

"Goodnight Jordan." Andor gives my cheek a small kiss.

"Goodnight Andor." I feel my heart soar when he kisses my cheek.

We walk off to our own tents. I put on some pajamas. The electric lamp in my tent is then turned off right before I lay down. I close my eyes, yet I can't seem to get to sleep. I open my eyes, actually taking the time to notice my tent.

I keep looking around until I see it. Someone is in the corner of my tent, watching me. They must have invisibility because I can only see their goggles.

Fear consumes me, I am too afraid to move, even yell out for help. I just continue to stare at the person watching.

Andor's Pov

My eyes shoot open. I sit up. Something is wrong. Jordan is in trouble. I rush out of the tent as quickly and as quietly as possible.

When I get into Jordan's tent, I see him in a terrified trance. I follow his gaze to see it. Observation Bot. I slowly bring my sword out. Observation Bot and Jordan don't notice my presence. My sword's blade is pointed at Observation Bot in three seconds flat. Jordan finally notices me, but he can't make a sound.

"Leave. Now." I know my eyes have turned purple, I can feel it. Observation Bot disappears.

"Jordan..." I drop my sword to the ground and go to Jordan. I pull him into my arms. He starts crying. I don't know why though. Observation Bot won't hurt anybody. It's just is creepy when people notice it.

"I-I-It showed me you, trapped. Your w-wings had just b-been re-removed. I couldn't help you." Jordan sobs into my chest. "Shhh. It's okay now. I won't let him near you again." I was lying when I said that last part, Observation Bot is always watching.
