Never Let You Go (Catching Feelings Sequel)

A Match Into Water

Jaden's POV (finally!):

When I left Imani's hospital room, I called Mateo to pick me up. He was right down the street at a big park. I could feel myself about to break down. I took out my black sunglasses, trying not to look back. I took deep breaths to calm myself down as I made my way into the elevator. I was relieved to see it empty. I was on the 5th floor, so I pressed the button for the garage and leaned my head on the wall.

I couldn't believe she cheated on me.

It just didn't seem like her to do something like that. I don't think she knew how much she hurt me. If she didn't, that's good. I didn't want her to see me down; to see me emotional. I didn't want to seem like I was the type of guy Drake makes music for. When I was walking out her room, I couldn't even look at her. Just knowing that I wouldn't be with the one I thought loved me made me feel some type of way. I guess because I really did love her. And for her to just fuck it up by sleeping with some other dude...

I could feel myself getting angry. Why should I love her? She's a slut. A whore.

It hurt thinking those things about her. But she slept with some other guy. It didn't seem like something she would do, but how else would she have gotten pregnant (I tried teasing y'all here lol)? Was he better looking than me? Older? My anger increased comparing myself to him. Was he more mature? Stronger?

Suddenly, without thinking, I punched the elevator wall. It hurt like hell, but I instantly felt a rush of stress, frustration, and rage go throughout my body and then fled. I could see it all in the small disfigured imprint in the metallic elevator wall. It wasn't a hole, but it looked harsher than a dent. I kept feeling myself become more and more insecure just from the thought of him. I tried to stop, but it was like my mind was being too curious.

The elevator stopped in the garage, and I got out. As I was walking out of the hospital, I got a call from Mateo that him amd Moises were waiting for me in the garage. Did he have a bigger dick than me? I remembered when Imani saw my dick a couple weeks after we first met. I chuckled at the thought. That was the day of the dance. The first time she met the crew. The same day we started dating.

Memories of us last year started flooding back to me as I walked around in the garage. Everything was so right then. Even through that small break up, everything was still right. Looking back from now, our problems were so small. They didn't compare to what was happening at the moment.

When I spotted Moises's car and made my way over there, it actually hit me. Me and Imani were over. The relationship was a big lie. And she didn't really love. She showed me all of this by cheating on me with some other nigga. That was a big "Fuck yo feelings" to me.

I got in the car, sat in the passenger seat, and put on my seat belt.

Moises greeted me with a smile before pulling off. "Was she awake? Your faggot ass didn't want to tell me on the phone," Mateo greeted me from the back. I looked at the dashboard as another rush went through me and out of me, ignoring his smart ass comment. Except this time, it wasn't a rush of stress, frustration, or rage. It was a rush of tears, finally coming out after all the time I could take.

Moises's POV:

"Wait, she's what?" I exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nah, that can't be true!" Mateo echoed after me.

Jaden nodded, his head down and his eyes light red from crying.

"You knew for the three out of the fours days she's been in the hospital and didn't tell us; shows what a true friend you are," Teo rolled his eyes. I glared at Mateo in the rearview mirror. He caught my gaze and froze, "I was only kidding," he said quietly.
