Up on Cloud Nine (Jc Caylen) *discontinued*

Chapter 6.

As time passed, Vanessa and I just exchanged glances over and over again. After Jc left, it was quiet. The only noise we could hear was the footsteps of running shoppers.

“You know Jc?” She whispered.

“Yeah, I just met him yesterday though.”

“I’ve known him for-a while…” Vanessa reluctantly spit out the last words.

“Really? Were you friends?”

“Er, yeah. We were friends. But let me tell you this; don’t ever let him creep into your heart.”

“Why not?”

“He’ll tear your heart into itty-bitty pieces. He’ll be the  best to you, but when he lays his eyes on another girl, he’ll break your heart and leave you.”

Was she really being true to me? He doesn’t seem like that kind of person…

“But how do you know this?”

She sighed and shut her eyes.

“Because-“ she started.

Jc stepped back in.

“It happened to me.”

“Well ladies the coast is clear, you can finally leave and get back to shopping.” Jc announced.

“Finally!”

At around 2 O’clock, we finally left the mall with 6 bags full of stuff. Jc drove us back to his house, and after everything that happened today, I needed to get some rest. He sat down on the old brown couch in the living room and turned on the stereo. I sat next to him as

“So, Jc, thank you.”

“Thank you for what?”

“For saving our lives today. We would probably still be in that closet if it wasn’t for you. So, thanks.”

He smiled cheesily and his cheeks turned pink.

“Nah, it was no big deal. Jus’ trying to keep y’all out of danger. I wouldn’t want you to die.”

I smiled and stood up to wash my plate. I washed both of ours and went upstairs to my room. I had new messages from Connor.

“shay jess is in the hospital! she tried to commit this morning…”

“what… is she ok? omg”

“idk yet the doctors are trying to talk to her”

“thanks for letting me know con. ly”

Oh my god, my best friend just tried to commit suicide…why?

I felt my eyes getting watery and a tear dripped down my face. I curled up on my bed and cried into the sheets.

Jc walked into my room holding his phone.

“Hey, look, they found out some info on that guy from the mall toda- Shay? Are you okay?”

I shook my head no and cried harder than before. He sat on the side of my bed and rubbed my arm.

“Shay, what’s wrong?”

“Jc, Jess tried to-“ My tears held me back from choking out the last words. “She tried to commit suicide.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry…Is she alright?”

I wiped a tear from my cheek.

“They don’t know yet, that’s what I heard from Connor. They don’t even know why she tried to commit. I’m so worried!” The tears kept spilling down my now red face.

“Here, come gimme a hug.” He held his arms out and I just fell into them.

In my ear, he whispered “It’s gonna be okay, alright?” We released the hug and I looked at him.

I could feel my makeup running down my face and I reached up to wipe it off. I felt Jc’s warm hand wrap around mine and he used his free hand to wipe away the last of my tears. I smiled a little bit and he just stared at me like a lost puppy.

“Shay?”

“Yeah?”

“Can I kiss you?”

I gave him a little nod and his soft lips pressed against mine.

I smiled into the kiss and whispered to him.

“I love you so much…”
