The life of Bethany. -A Jaden Smith Love Story

BETH 23

*2 WEEKS LATER*

'Bye dad!' I yelled as I ran out Of the car and towards the Smith's front door. I quickly knocked and almost immediately The door flung open.

'Hey Beth!' It was Trey; Jaden's elder brother 'He's upstairs'

'Thanks Trey!' I said running up the stairs. I had a bunch of roses in my hand and I was as excited as ever to see Jaden well again.

I was less than a metre away from his bedroom door when I heard a girl's laughter coming from his room.

I stood still, my heart beating. I stepped quietly and slowly until I was standing in the doorway. Kylie was sitting at his bedside with the EXACT same roses as me in her hand.

'Oh look who it is!' She said in her little plastic voice.

'Is it Beth?!' Jaden said sitting up. Kylie looked me up and down and snorted. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the chair at the end of the bed.

'Beth!' Jaden said excitedly 'Kylie got me these things! They are like HEAVEN in my mouth'.

Jaden waved a packet of some type of candy in my face as he devoured the last of his previous packet.

'Great...' I said un-enthusiastically.

'I know what's best for my boo' Kylie said smiling and stroking Jaden's hair. I did my best to fake a smile.

'Soo, Beth!' Kylie started, I looked up; ready for all the bitchy comments she could possibly throw at me 'What have you been up to?'

'Well' I started, surprised at the friendliness of her words 'My grandma has been ill so I've had to look after her...'

'I see' she said sarcastically 'Jaden has been home for 3 days now...'

'I know' I said pushing the hair out of my eyes 'I came as soon as I could'

'3 days Beth' she emphasised that number as if it were a lifetimes' length 'Three whole days'

'Kylie stop' Jaden said smiling 'It's fine Beth, I'm sure you had your reasons' Kylie rolled her eyes at me and crossed her arms dramatically.

'I got you some flowers!' I said, trying to change the topic.

'Thanks but no thanks' Kylie butted in 'He already has those ones'. She picked up the bouquet she had placed on her lap and put them into a vase on his bedside table.

'I guess you should've came earlier...' She snapped, looking proud of herself.

I stood up quickly; leaving the chair to fall over.

'Kylie!' I snapped 'I couldn't come any earlier!'

'Okay! Okay! Drama queen much?' She looked over at Jaden for his agreement but he just looked at her angrily.

'Kylie quit it!' He said 'You know she tried to come!'

'Well she didn't try enough then!' She giggled, stood up, gave Jaden a peck on his cheek (much to his annoyance) and left.

It was silent and only Jaden and I were in the room. I picked up my chair and went to sit on Kylie's.

'How are you feeling?' I asked looking at his eyes.

'I'm good' he said smiling 'Kylie got me these things that are like-'

'STOP talking about Kylie' I said surprised at my own words 'I...I just can't'. I picked up the bouquet roughly and ran out of the room crying.

'Beth? Beth!' Jaden called from behind me 'Come back!'. I ran out the front door in a flash and made my way home - The way Kylie was treated by him was sickening!

I walked into an empty house. There was a note on the kitchen counter;

'Beth,

Your Grandma has been rushed into hospital so your father and I have gone with her. Don't know when we will be back. A few hours? Maybe a few days! I've left some money on the counter for food.

Love,

Mum and Dad xx'

I dropped the note out of my hand and left it to fall onto the floor. I held my face in my hands and took a deep breath.

Suddenly there was a knock at the front door. It was Sophie, Sofia and Tessa.

'Hey guys!' I yelled excitedly, forgetting all of my worries. I gave them all hugs and let them inside.

We all leaped onto the couch and I switched on the TV. I told them all what had happened earlier on that day and they all agreed with me and have me hugs.

'Jaden can be so blind sometimes Beth, you shouldn't take it to heart' Sophie said giving me a hug.

'Thanks Sophie, I guess he can...' I said smiling. I took out my phone and decided to text him.

Beth: Hey Jaden x

Jaden: Hi Beth, I'm sorry for earlier x

Beth: It's finee! X

Jaden: Awesome! What you up to tonight? X

Beth: Sophie, Tess and Sof are over! Wanna come? X

Jaden: Sure! Can I bring Moi and Tanner? X

Beth: sure! See you in a minute!!!

Jaden: okay, see you then xo

I put away my phone and went into the kitchen to make some food. I searched the fridge and cupboards but they all seemed to be empty. I remembered the money that mum and dad had left.

'Guys!' I yelled 'want a take away?'

'Hell yeahhh!' They all shouted which made me laugh.

I dialled the number for the pizza place and ordered 3 large pizzas. We all decided that everyone would sleep over so I ran upstairs and grabbed a bunch of duvets, pillows and sleeping bags and filled the living room floor with them.

I changed into some shorts, some fluffy ugg slippers and a loose sweater. Soon after, Jaden, Moi and Tanner arrived.

'Hey guys!' I said hugging them one at a time.

'Hey Beth!' Jaden said 'Can I speak to you in private please?'. I nodded and we went into the kitchen, Jaden immediately started.

'I really am sorry about earlier on, you mean so much to me and I couldn't bear to lose you' he looked down at his hands then into my eyes.

'Jaden it's okay!' I said smiling 'I'm fine with it'

'So can we..' He hesitated 'Yaknow... Still go out?'. I looked down at the floor, thinking.

'I... Guess...' I said. He immediately smiled from ear to ear and hugged and kissed me.

'I love you Beth' he whispered into my ear. 'And I always will'
