17 year old Theodore has never had the time to enjoy most of his teenage years, It was always school and Church, Bible study and that was his everyday routine With him being the son of a Pastor, he wasn't allowed to listen to certain music, no schoo...
"Jaelen! Girl come on it's time to go", Win said, " you usually the first one out the door when It's quitting time".
"Sorry", I whispered, and began walking out to the car. These last few weeks I haven't been myself, I can't eat, sleep, I can't think straight. Because no matter what I do, I just couldn't stop thinking about him.
Whenever I tried to call him all I got was his voice mail. And that hurt to know that he was ignoring me without letting me explain what happened. Now if it was some other dude I would have said the hell with him and find another.
But It wasn't someone else, it was my big softy and the more time I spent away from him it felt like a part of me was missing and I even cried! Like hello, I don't cry, I'm a gangster, and gangsters don't cry. But I didn't care because I was so heartbroken I didn't know what to do with myself and if it wasn't for Win being there for me I guarantee you I would be in my bed right now with a tub of sherbert ice cream binge-watching Vampire Diaries.
"You want to talk about it?" Win offered. "You might feel better".
I rolled my eyes. As If that was gonna make this feeling in my chest go away.
"All I've been doing is talking and that's got me nowhere", I said with no emotion. I was looking out the window, and I glared at the couples holding hands on the streets. Like we get it you're In love, not all of us can maintain a healthy relationship, you don't have to add salt to my wound.
"So no I really don't want to talk about how the only guy who I actually cared about completely ghosted me because he thinks that I slept with his bully," I said, as I put on my glasses.
"He'll be better off finding him some other girl that makes him happy, one that his parents will approve of and doesn't party or dri-"
"Stop it!", Win says firmly. Don't say things like that Jaelen! You know damn well that boy had genuine feelings for you, you're the only girl that I've ever seen him with and Kai said that he's been hurting as well. Before you came along girls would throw themselves at him and try to get his attention but he always showed no interest in them, until you showed up and got that boy looking like one of those cartoon characters with the heart eyes whenever he's in your present"
"What the hell, Is that supposed to make me feel better?" I rolled my eyes.
As If I wanted to know about the girls that are lined up at Theodore's door waiting for him to give them the green light. It's funny really thinking about him finding someone else, like he could ever replace all this.
"All I'm saying is if he wanted someone else he could easily get them. But he clearly still wants you and you're just gonna throw in the towel because he's not answering your calls?" She said, as she raised her eyebrows.
This chick was beginning to irk me, I hope we were close to my place because this was starting to become too much for me.
"What else Am I supposed to do? It's not like I know where he lives".
"His B-day is next week and his brothers and I are planning on throwing him a surprise party at the Hilton's Hotel and we plan on staying there for bout 2 days, so that gives you more than enough time to get yourself together so y'all can fix this problem between y'all and stop walking around pouting".
"Win I don't know if-"
"Doesn't matter because you're still going," she declared, "don't make me have to handcuff you to me to make sure that you don't try and do sum slick shit, Jaelen".
I dramatically fell back in my seat and crossed my arms.
"Mane whatever I said as she pulled in front of my apartment. "Bye girl I'll call you later", I waved as Win drove off.
I just really wished that he would talk to me, I told him that I didn't want anyone else and that he was mine. So why won't he just give me a chance to tell him what happened after he ran off? If he really cared about me, he would have tried to at least hear me out, but he didn't. And I can so that I'm fine all day long, but it wouldn't be true, because I'm nowhere near being alright. If anything I feel so lost without that boy.
And I wish that he would just let me talk to him so that we can make up and I can stop walking around like a lovesick puppy.
Woah, time out!. Did I just say the L word? Good Lord let me go and get in the shower and hopefully wash some of my sadness away.
I hoped you guys enjoyed it and I promise the next chapter well be longer as always till next time beautiful people 😘
