Out of The Friend Zone

Chapter 9: #flashback

Janna's POV

I'm really weirded out by Kaitlyn, Danica and Vanessa, but I guess that they are really weird.

When I got down from the limousine, I realized it was Janssen.

"Hey," he said staring at me.

I glared at him. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"To see you," he said approaching me.

"Let's just go in," I said avoiding him. I'm still pissed.

"Ok then," he said following me inside.

When we were going in there were two seats reserved for just the two of  us.

"Why did we ever breakup?" he asked.

"Don't you remember?" I asked.

He looked at me confused. I groaned.

"Ugh, flash back," I said.

~~~

Truthfully, I actually enjoyed dating Janssen, until one night.

Janssen drove me home and I thanked him.

We both went inside my house to see my mom boiling mad.

I told Janssen to go home before anything happened.

He drove back to his house leaving me with my angry mother.

She didn't say anything, I didn't say anything. She just handed me a paper.

I looked at the paper she handed me and it was my report card.

Being shocked was an understatement. I had no honor! I always had honor and I can't believe I failed.

After seeing my reaction, my mom said, "I can't believe this. You always had honor and now you just suddenly failed."

She paused for a while and continued. "It's because of Janssen. You prioritize him to much that you tend to forget about your studies. Remember studies first, or else I'll have to stop you from dating him."

I stared at her. I knew she was going to say that because she prioritizes studies more than anything else.

"Do you no longer care about your studies?" she demanded.

"I do," I answered softly.

"Then here," she said handing me a pamphlet about a school in the USA.

It had better education than here in UK but I couldn't just leave my life behind.

"Although, this is not the only reason why we are moving," she told me more calmly. "It's also because of my job. The pay more in the USA than here and it could help us a lot."

I wanted to support her because I know it had been very hard for her without my father, who had died years ago.

"We are moving and I'm sorry, there's nothing you can do about it," she stated.

I felt like crying, which I did.

~~~

The next day, I told my friends and Janssen about it.

"What you're leaving me?" he exclaimed.

"I don't want to but I have to, not only for myself but for my mom," I reasoned.

"So I don't mean anything to you," he said.

"Of course you do. I love you and you know that," I said.

"Then stay with me," he replied.

I got mad. He can't tell me what to do. How could he be so selfish?!

"Look, the world does not revolve around you, so don't think that everyone will just follow you!" I spatted.

He got mad as well.

"Fine then!" he shouted. "Then go!"

"Just to make it clear. We are over," I said running away.

~~~ End of Flashback ~~~

"Oh but I just—" he said.

"Why don't you always remember anything?" I said furiously.

"I'm sorry. I know I'm forgetful. Please forgive me. I promise I'll change," he said.

"Ok then," I said unsurely.

Jershon's POV

I was going to this fancy restaurant with my family then I saw two people dressed fancily. The girl's face looked familiar thought.

I was gonna excuse myself to go the restroom just to see who they were when my mom bombarded me with a question.

"So sweetie how's school?" my mom asked.

"Um, fine," I replied. "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom."

"Don't be silly," my mom said. "You just went 2 minutes ago. And besides the food is here."

Right on cue, the food arrived and I didn't get to see who the girl was, sadly.

She might be a random person anyways, although she looks very much like Janna.

But she doesn't have a boyfriend right?
