The One

Secrets Unfold

Kira P.O.V.
I wake up feeling like I have a weight on top of me. I am about to scream, but I realize it's just Jayden. I still can't believe what happened, happened. I didn't mean for it to happen, it's just my dad, ughh. I got to get out of here. I try to lift Jayden's arm off of me without waking him, but he starts to stirr in his sleep. I try to stay still but he ends up waking up.
"Sorry" He says moving off of me
"It's ok" I say getting up
"Wait, stay here" he says
And even though I know he does not mean I in a bossy way I say "don't tell me what to do"
"Just call me daddy" he says joking but I don't find it funny.
"That's not funny" I say
"I'm sorry, we really need to talk can you please just hear me out for a minute" He says. I go back in the bed and go under the covers, not because I care what he had to say but because I realize I am naked and we are not home alone.
"Why don't you like me" he asks
"Who said I don't" I say
"You stopped talking to me after you broke up with me" he says
"That's because you acted like a dick, how can you not care of we broke up" I say
"I did care I just didn't want you to know you were hurting me" he says
"Then why didn't you stop me from hurting you by telling me you wanted me" I say
"I did" he says
"A little too late, don't you think" I say looking at a picture of Aron I put up.
"Why do you even like him" he says
"I don't know I just do" I say not wanting to explain
"Do you even know him" he asks
"I know more about him than I know about you" I say which is the truth
"Fine I can agree with that but now we are going to change that. Ask me anything you want to know and I will answer." he says and for a minute I see this as a bad idea. If I am going to ask him questions there is nothing stopping him from asking me questions. But to tell the truth I have been wanting to tell someone the truth, but I'm not sure I am ready yet, but I do it anyway.
"Why do you push everyone that tries to love you away"
Jayden's POV
"I don't need their love, not like I receive any" I say
"How would you describe you and your parents relationship" she says. I hate this question and though I know the answer I don't want to answer.
"Umm"
"Please" she says and I can't help but tell her
"Beneficial, I go to them only when I need something. They don't have time for kids. I sometimes wonder why they had us. They don't even sleep together, they are more of business partners them partners. Ever since we were kid they just hired people to take care of us. They don't even now our birthday they just get people to send us gifts from there name. The closest thing I have to a good parent is my mom. I had to me a mother and a father for Hope that's why I don't know how to accept people loving me. My parents claim to love me and if that's what love is I don't want to get involve with people who claim to love me. I can't" I say feeling tears in my eyes. I forget I am taking to Kira.
"I'm so sorry" she says
"Don't be" I say
"I ran away" she blurts out. What.
Kira POV
I don't know why I said that. Where did that come from. I wish I could take it back. I just felt so bad for making him tell me all that.
"What" he says
"You know how my father followed us this morning" I say
Jayden's POV
I feel awful, how could I have forgotten all about her father. The look of fear on her face when she saw him. The urgency she came to me with telling me to call the limo to get us. It's all coming back to me.
"Yeah"
"Well I ran away from him about 4 years ago to live with my grandparents and attend college over here" she says
"Why did you have to run away. What about your mom" I ask
"She died when I was 5" She says tears rolling down her cheeks
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" I start but she stops me, I don't mention the fact she ignored my first question
"She died in a shooting range, in Texas. We were on family vacation." She says which makes the tears flow quicker.
"Stop" I say
"No I want to, I had to run away from my dad. He was going crazy without her and I couldn't take it. Everybody started looking for me, but when they called my grandparents they found out where I was and nobody dare tell my father. I needed my grandparents, they were the closest to my mom I had. they were blood" She says taking out her phone, she shows me some pictures of them. But for some reason I can't let my self believe that's the full story, what did her father do. I am going to find out even if I spend years doing so. This is my girl now, and I am going to protect her. She looks up at me, and then opens her mouth to say something but then closes it.
"I won't" I say and she smiles. she might have been asking me not to say anything or something else. But I meant I won't hurt you again. I won't leave you again. I won't let that man get to you. I wont.
