My Mythical Best and My Mythical Worst

Returning Home

***Link***

     The plane ride back to L.A. was a little uncomfortable. Jaden and I didn't sit together and I couldn't sleep because I was too busy listening to her and the supposedly "hunky" guy she was sitting next to. They laughed and talked for almost the whole ride about books and stuff. 

     As we got off the plane the guy said "you're sweet, Jaden. Here's my number. Maybe we could get together sometime." I tried not to let it bother me. "Yeah. Maybe." We got off the plane and she smiled at me and grabbed my hand. I reacted strangely to it and kind of pulled away and she didn't try to grab it again. "It feels good to be home." She said and sighed, "do you want to stay at my place tonight? I'll cook." She looked at me. I grabbed her bag off the rack and then grabbed mine and thought to myself she wouldn't really cheat on me. Even with a hunky dude like that. The thought relieved my mind and I smiled at her and said "absolutely. But you are not cooking. If you did we'd have peanut butter and jelly or cereal." She smiled and laughed. 

***Jaden*** 

     I could tell something was bothering Link. I wondered if he could tell something was bothering me. He smiled infectiously at me and I smiled back and he grabbed my hand and guided me to the front of the airport where Rhett was picking us up. We waited for a few minutes before Rhett pulled up and Link waved at him. We both put our bags in the trunk and got in the back together. The ride was pretty quiet. Rhett dropped us off at my house and Link decided he was going to go home and take care of his bags and he would be back in a little bit. 

     We hugged and he kissed my cheek before walking to his house. I went inside and collapsed on my bed with my suitcase next to me on the bed. I saw the square box sticking up from the front pouch and sat up. I looked at it debating whether or not to use it. I fished it out of the suitcase and looked at the pregnancy test. It had been about a week and a half since we had sex. Maybe I should just to be sure. I was feeling a little weird lately. 

     I opened the box and went to the bathroom. I finished up and barely glanced at the test before wiping it off. This time I actually looked at it. I sighed in relief and tossed the test into the trash. Must've just been superstition and worry getting to me. 

     The knock of the door rang through the house and Link's voice followed it. "Honey! I'm here!" I ran down the steps and threw my arms around him. I was so happy I wasn't pregnant. I wasn't ready to be a parent. I didn't really think Link was either. Even though he is in his late thirties and I my mids. I nestled my head into his neck and he laughed. "Missed me much?" He asked. I picked my head up and just nodded. 

     "Do you want to go to Rhett's for dinner? He and Jessie invited us over." I shrugged and said "The real question is, do you want to cook or have someone else do it for you." and he laughed. "Let's go to Rhett's." I smiled and grabbed a sweater that belonged to Link off the back of my couch and grabbed his hand. He escorted me to the car, opened the door, closed it, and got in the driver's side.

~ A/N ~ Sorry it's short! At least it's an update. Guys!!! I'm so happy!!! We had state festival in my band today and we got a one!!! For those who don't understand it means we did good. Anyways... Now we get to prepare for graduation and learn pop and circumstance. Yay *sarcasm*. For those who don't know what that is, it's the traditional graduation song and it repeats a lot of times until the entire class has gotten their diplomas. Thanks for listening to me rant and be excited! Love y'all.
