In The End Ch.1

Chapter 39

Three days later

A lot has changed over these past two weeks Curt and Axel made amends with Jayden, slowly building their way to a friendship. After Astraea and Laetitia needed to literally remind them of their friendship. The couple still lived separately, but came together once in a while in the house Jayden had bought them.

"This game sucks." Curt muttered, more to himself.

Axel and was also present in the room.
Just them three guys and Astraea.

Jayden rubbed his hands up-and-down his fiancée's' legs.

"Don't fuck, please." Curt abruptly exclaimed.

Astraea blushed, while Jayden ignored him.

"Our house, our rules. Right baby?" He turned her around, while hovered over her.

She slowly pushed him back.
"Jay."

He retreated, but still stilled.
"Go, go talk to them." Astraea playfully pushed him to his friends.

"No."

"But they want to hang with you."

"And I want to hang with you. I don't know why they're here." Jayden declared.

"Hey! We can hear you. Obviously." Curt announced.

She tapped his nose, before saying: "Because they're your friends."

It was late in the afternoon and their friends were playing FIFA in Jayden's room. His parents were on a trip to France along with Vera and Ace.

Jayden's doorbell rings.

That was Astraea's sign to stand up.

"He's here." She smiled.

Jayden rolled his eyes.
Astraea was quite the kind girl befriending anyone. Even guys. Which Jayden didn't like at all.

"Guys please be kind to him. Especially you." She egged with a warning tone.

Then Astraea took off down the stairs.

"Jayden's shaking." Curt and Axel laughed.

Ignoring them both, he took his phone out. Checking for late messages.

'Still up for the party tonight?' - Rex

Shit.

Jayden was still friends with Rex and the rest of the group with motorcycles.

He doesn't know why he hasn't dropped them yet.

He was so far in his mind, that he hadn't heard her come in.

"Guys, this is Timothy. Timothy this is Curt, Axel and Jayden."
Astraea said, holding his hand unconsciously.

Curt and Axel greeted themselves to him.

Astraea looked at Jayden. Whose eyes were on their hands.

Astraea sensing this, let loose, not wanting to upset him.

Jayden only gave a nod his way.
Timothy wasn't really warm towards Jayden, because of the traumatic memory he and his group inflicted.

Even though he apologised, Timothy would still be cautious around him.

"Come."
Astraea took him to join the boys on FIFA and sat by him to make him feel comfortable the whole time.

Jayden didn't mind. Although, he wished her attention was on him. He understood.

After a while, his bell rang again.

"Babe, you invited someone?" Jayden said, furrowing his brows.

Astraea shook her head.
