Long Way To Go ⇴ Syndisparklez

Chapter 25: Secrets

Jordan's POV

"Oh Yeahhhhhhh, anyways........"I glared at Alice as she giggled like a child, catching Tom's attention. He looked puzzled while I hit Alice lightly in the arm again. She only fake pouted with a smirk, and it reminded me of Aurey for some reason. That's weird... "...So, I decided that Jordan will be sleeping on the couch now. I don't want my big brother in any danger." Alice said sweetly, and I heard her mom laugh.

"Finally someone agrees that Jordan is trouble. I agree with Alice, Tom. He can sleep on the couch now, not a burden to you." The woman said and the tips of my ears turned red. I hated being talked about, but there was something about it that made me blush. 'Probably the face that Alice iS TRYING TO MAKE TOM ADMIT TO HIS PARENTS HE LIKES YOU!' Probably, you're really smart Wisdom. Well duh, you're name is Wisdom. I'm a dumb sometimes, Jordan you fool. Why am I talking in third person view? I have no idea.

"Wait why--- I mean, it's no trouble really.." Tom insisted, and I heard Moon gag from almost choking on food. What a weird name. Moon. Then again, its probably not his real name, but it's still a weird thing to be called. Tom gave a death glare to Alice before looking back at the woman.

"He's not dangerous I swear! And it's really no--"

"--Tom, don't argue with me. He's sleeping out here until he leaves. Understood?" All the colour (WITH A "U") from Tom's face drained at the words. It wasn't like the woman was loud or anything, so I was a bit confused. Wanna know why?' Well yeah 'I shouldn't tell you this but the way she said it reminded him of his mom' Well isn't that his mom? 'Too much has been said' And Wisdom went quiet. Well at least you told me something.

"Whatever." Tom said quietly, walking into the kitchen with moon. As soon as he wasn't looking i scowled at Alice, earring sweet grin from her. "Why Alice?! Why?!" I whispered.

"You know why! And also, the more you're away from him the more he smothers you later." Alice winked and my face turned dark crimson. "Alice I will kill you." I said under my breath, stuffing more fruit loops into my mouth.

"Just eat your fruit loops child." Alice replied, patting my head lightly and watching T.V. Something called "Best Fiends" was playing, it looked like cartoons but it actually was really cool. I stuffed more fruit loops in my mouth. I don't even really like cereal; but I'm starving. I just realized I haven't eaten this whole time accept with Taylor. 'Why don't you eat?' Intuition, here's the thing, you know when you're at others people house-- 'no because I'm not aloud to leave the building, unless on a mission' What?! Why? 'Because last time I went out with Wisdom and he got extremely jealous because this girl was trying to get into my pants and I was drunk, and Wisdom wasn't, so I fell right into her lap. Wisdom gets jealous easily'

'I do not! You did that on purpose cause I wouldn't hang out with you and you were drunk! And that girl was gorgeous!'

'Exactly. You got jealous because you thought i actually liked her'

Can you two maybe be a bit more quiet please? Because I'm trying to watch something here. The both of them went quiet and I sighed as Alice's hand grabbed fruit loops from the cereal box. I have a bad feeling... 'Just go to sleep..' Intuition said calmly and right after he said that my vision faded to black.

''"What?" Taylor asked coldly and I looked back at Mark. My heart broke a bit when he said that. It really hurts when someone's so self-absorbed that they always whisper threats but smile for the camera. Mark was talking to some foreign guy, but they were whispering and I couldn't hear them. Mark looked really sad though, I guess it's not just me. The guy pointed to me and Mark looked my way, smiled sadly, and looked back at the guy.

What was my brother hiding? I have no clue. Though, I guess it's not my place to know, since I hide everything from him... But that's another subject I guess. Swirling the pencil around on my desk, i stared at the whiteboard blankly. I wasn't paying attention to the teacher. The bell rang and everyone got up accept for Mark. What's wrong with my brother? As everyone pushed and shoved out of the room, I made my way to my brother.

"Hey, Mark, what's wrong?" It was weird to say since I'm his little brother, usually he's the one asking if I'm okay.

"I guess... My friends just moving back to his homeland because he 'has more friends there than here.' And because his--- his girlfriend is there." Mark's voice cracked at the last words and he stood up, shoving me out of the way, leaving class. I sighed silently, walking out of the class as well. I felt a thick leather jacket sleeve wrap around my shoulders and i knew it was Taylor so I kept walking.

He always did this and it pissed me off so much, but for some reason, I put up with it. Girls and guys stared at him out of jealousy. A lot of girls wanted Taylor more than I do; and so do a lot of guys. No one really cares about me, they just want Taylor. I mean, they can gladly take him, but he's the one who wants bragging rights over me.

I don't think I'll ever meet someone who actually likes me; it just seems impossible.
