Brokenhearted

Chapter 5

              "OPEN UP, CAIT! OPEN UP!" Nathan was continuously banging on the door, hoping that I would open the door when I was frustrated. I plugged in my earphones and listened to 'Burn'. Ellie Goulding's soothing voice really helped to calm my mind.

             "AHHHHHHHH! THERE'S A FIRE!" Tom screamed at the top of his voice. Wanna trick me? HA! Not so easy, Parker. "Come on guys, give her some space" I could hear Jay shooing everyone away before speaking, "Cait, I know you're feeling really down and you don't wanna speak to anyone right now. But if you have any problems, you can always come to me."

               I opened my door cautiously, hoping that it wasn't a trick. Thankfully no one was around. I saw Jay standing near the stairs. You see, the thing good about Jay is that he wouldn't betray me.

              "Jay" I called out to him softly. "Ah ah ah sweetie you're finally out!" he came over to me and gave me a tight squeeze. "Ouch I can't breathe" I whimpered. "Oops sorry" Jay apologized.    "It's fine" I dusted my clothes. "Wanna talk inside?" Jay pointed to my room. "Okay" I smiled at him.

             "So..." Jay broke the awkward silence between us. "How are things between you and Nathan?" he raised his eyebrows and caught a glimpse of my reaction. "Don't even F****** talk to me about that bastard!" I hissed angrily.

             "You have no idea what he did to me all these years; how he made my high school life so miserable. Want me to forgive him for all the pain that he put me through? HAHAHA. Not so easy." I said sarcastically.

             "Chill Cait" Jay comforted me. "Don't get so worked up" he placed his arm around my shoulder in an attempt to calm me down. "IF YOU'RE GONNA TAKE SIDES WITH THAT BLOODY BANDMATE OF YOURS THEN GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" I screamed at him.

             I could feel my blood boiling and I swear that I would kill Jay right now if he didn't leave. I could see shock and hurt written all over Jay's face. I knew I had taken it way too far because of my tantrum. "I'm so sorry, Jay. I'm sorry for yelling at you" I sobbed before being pulled into a hug.

             "It's okay, Cait. Anything for you" he whispered as he stroked my hair gently. I have to admit that Jay is a really nice lad. He would always comfort me whenever I was unhappy and make me feel better with his amazing hugs. I really feel bad for throwing a fit at him earlier.

            "Erm Jay?" I tilted my head slightly to look at him. "Are you going to school later?" I asked him. "Yeah why not?" Jay looked me, surprised that I would ask such a question. Well, obviously such a goody-two-shoes like him has never once played truant in his life before.

            "Can you do me a favour?" I perked up like a little child. "Anything for you babe" he winked at me. "Can you act as my boyfriend?" I asked him slowly, hoping that he would not reject my request. "What why?" he just simply laughed it off, probably surprised at that unexpected request of mine.

             "Hmm you should know what I mean" I winked at him cheekily. "Okay" he mumbled before continuing "So do we start acting now?" he scratched his head, unsure of what to do. "Duh! Get to work McGuiness!" I slapped his arm playfully before pushing him out of the room. Jay can be really dumb at times.

             When we walked down the stairs I suddenly linked my arm with Jay's. I wanted to get back at Nathan and mock him for not getting me. That was my main motive. However, when I was pretending to date Jay, I realized that Megan was shooting daggers at me, which was quite odd.

             Megan was usually the most cheerful among the three of us, but today she looked like as though she was the one with serious mood swings. WAIT. SHE LIKES JAY?! Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah! No wonder she was glaring at me today. Oh shit. She's gonna be so mad at me. I'd better explain things to her in school lest she doesn't wanna talk to me ever again.

            "Looks like someone's got hitched overnight huh?" Tom teased me cheekily. I could feel heat rushing up my cheeks and before I knew, I was blushing like a tomato.

            "Erm bye guys! We gotta go to school!" I exclaimed before giving Jay a soft peck on his cheek. I could see Nathan and Megan glaring at me really angrily. Woah, their expressions were creepy.

            "Jay, do you think I took it too far?" I raised my eyebrows. "Not at all, love. This is what he deserves." Jay smiled at me. I retreated my arm from him and said, "Erm I think acting's over for NOW" strongly emphasizing on the 'now'. "Okay then, see you in school later" Jay waved at me before walking in the opposite direction.

             I guess he took a different route to school this time to avoid the awkwardness between us. Well, that really doesn't bother me. Anyway, I owe Jay a big thank you for agreeing to be my 'on-and-off boyfriend'.

             Okay. Time to go to school! I tried putting on my best mood but unfortunately, I can't. I wonder how I'm gonna explain things to Megan later. I plugged in my earphones and listened to 'I Wish' by Cher Lloyd, before making my way to school.
