TRAPPED

Chapter Ten

Jordan's POV

I shuffle into the bathroom, wiping the sleep from my eyes and yawning. As I'm brushing my teeth, someone knocks on the door.

"Come in," I say with the toothbrush hanging out the side of my mouth. My mom slowly walks in with a pharmacy bag.

"I stopped by the pharmacy and got your medicine." I nod my head and she places the bag on the counter. I have been going through a lot lately and I can't quite bring myself to tell my friends the reasons behind my absence. After I finish in the bathroom, I go to my room and get dressed for, yet another, doctor's appointment. I've been to multiple doctor's and none of them have any answers on what my illness could possibly be.

"Jordan hurry or you're going to be late. Xander is outside waiting." my mother screams from downstairs. I quickly put my shoes on and jog down the stairs. Xander is my boyfriend, well we broke up but we still keep in touch. He's also Aiden's cousin, that is how we met. I honestly can not stop loving Xander, he's always there for me in time of need. Right now he and my parents are helping me get through this situation that is killing me emotionally. Getting into his red Benz, he gives me this questioning look. I just nod my head at him and pulls out of the driveway. Here I am going to the almost 16th doctor, hopefully today I will get some good news.

Jinx's POV

I can not believe I am doing business with Marquez and his family. Now I have to see Marquez almost everyday for six years; this cannot be good. It's only been two days since the meeting and I haven't talked to Marquez yet. I miss him a little bit, but I can't let my love life get between my money. At the meeting Marquez also mentioned that I needed to unblock his number for business inquires only. I'm so tempted to just text him and ask him to hang out, but I know he's either going to ignore me or just simply say no. I mean I am the one who said we had to stop what we had going on. Instead of being in my feelings all day, I decided to do something with my life and go shopping. I threw on something simple but cute and headed out the door.

The mall is packed today; I hope there's no one special here, because I do not want to hear a bunch of screaming girls and boys while I'm trying to shop. Entering the mall, I pull my Dior shades off and get a better look at the scene. Hundreds of people are in front of some music store and me, being nosey, decides to go see what all the hype is about. As I get closer to the entrance of the store, the screams get louder and the cameras are flashing. To my surprise, the people behind all this chaos is Dj Reed and Evelyn Reed. I push my way to through the door, getting cursed out along the way and I finally make to the where Dj Reed is.

"Can I have your autograph?" I asked with a huge grin on my face. Evelyn looks at me and chuckles.

"We're going to be asking for your autograph soon," she says handing me an autographed picture anyway.

"Marquez is in the store somewhere, I'm pretty sure he has some ideas for you," Says Dj Reed. I look around the store and head for the exit not really wanting to see Marquez. I maneuver through the store and as I'm leaving off of an aisle, I see Marquez with his arms wrapped around some girl's waist. My breathing becomes heavy and jealousy takes over my whole body. Not only is the girl ugly, its Kayla. I walk over to him and stare at the two of them. It's only been two days and he's already found some hoe to replace me with. Why am I so mad? He wasn't even my boyfriend. Kayla gives me this nasty look and I roll my eyes at her and turn my attention back to Marquez. I look at his emotionless face, hoping to see some sign of sympathy or guilt, but no. He runs his hands down to her butt and winks at me. I quickly break eye contact and leave the store. I can't believe he didn't say anything to me; he just looked at me like I was dead to him and he basically embarrassed me.
