Bumping into Mr Bad Boy

Chapter 18 : The Hard Truth

Avery's POV

My feelings grew stronger every passing day. It's too late to eliminate what I feel now. If a week ago, you said that I like him, I would laugh it off in your face. It seems so surreal to the point where I don't know if this is reality or a dream. If it is reality, I would be asking this question.

When did pigs started to learn how to fly? Did they figure out the technology to do that?

I would pay for a performance to see that. I mean who wouldn't want that. Seeing a big animal like that flying like a bird but in a pink version. And will probably fart all the time.

I haven't told my friends that I like Jayden because I don't want them to freak out and giving me smirks along the way. It is too new for me and I don't know whether I like it or not. Something hit me like a ton of brick.

He is definitely doing this for the revenge he was talking about the other day.

Flashback:

I decided how to get revenge on you. I will make you fall for me. Hard,"

I will start avoiding him from now on. I have to do it before my face is smashed on the floor. Liking a player is not good because they have commitment issues. He tricked me and I being an idiot fell for it. I lost the bet and he can never find out. He will just laugh at me and say that he wants nothing to do with me. So that's what I am doing right now. Or at least try to do.

"Hey," Jayden said as he reached my locker.

"Hey," I said shortly and left. He caught up to me with a concerned look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't want to be late to class,"

"I'm a guy. I actually love to shop but I am not buying your bullshit. Class starts in 15 minutes and your class is only a two minutes walk. Now, tell what's wrong,"

Why can't he be stupid and naive?

"Nothing's wrong. I am just tired," I started to walk away but in a split second, I was lifted off the ground. He is carrying me bridal style and I feel sparks just exploded.

I need to control my hormones.

"Where are we going?"

I sensed a sign of weakness in my voice. I'm too nervous to say anything.

"I'm kidnapping you so follow me or you deal with the consequences," he joked.

How am I supposed to avoid him now? My feelings is now too much for him. Who fells for a guy in a month? Obviously me of course. I just let him take me wherever he wants. If I die in his hands, at least I am leaving infront of my crush and I will definitely confess my feelings to him before passing out. We rode in a car surprisingly. None of us talk and just being in our own lala land.

He stopped the car and I just stood there in awe. The trees and flowers are so beautiful and there are just no words to describe it.

"Why are we here?" I asked.
He just ignored me and sat beside me on the bench.

"Why are you avoiding me? It has been like this past few days," He asks. Before I could answer, a voice was heard.

"Jayden, shouldn't you be in school now?"
A man wearing black suit said.

"Hey, Uncle. Or should I say asshole?" Jayden said casually.

"When are you going to join our gang? We need you to fight all those who owe us money," he said ignoring Jayden's question.

Wait what?

A gang?

"I would never. So, get the hell out of here,"
Jayden said.

"Oo. Who is this pretty little lady?" He asked.

"Go away,"

The old man just shrugged his shoulders and walked off. Before winking at me.

Ew wtf?

"Jayden. I need an explanation,"

He haeved a loud sigh. He had a sad look on his face.

I hate seeing him sad.

"When I was 15, my father died so my mom married another man. Turns out, he's ruling a gang and forced me to join since I am good at fighting. I said no and when I came back home from school the next day, my mother was lying down in a pool of blood. He said that I deserved that since I am not joining him. He left me alone and when the night we were at the beach, that was the first time I saw him in years,"

Well, that is a lot to take in so I did what I thought will help.

It's to embrace him in a hug.

He reacted quickly and hugged me back. Since he told me his life story, I should tell him mine.

"Since you tell me your life story, I will tell you mine. I was thirteen when my mom died of cancer. My father started abusing me. He would hit me or even burn my skin. I had to start to work since he got fired. Our house were sold so that is why we had to move. I was so young since I was fourteen. I had a plan to runaway at an age of fifteen. I did. I bought the house with his name and he won't even be able to get out of the jail. That doesn't mean I am not traumatized. I feared h escaping so that is why I disguise myself," I said all of that but leaving another important part.

"WHAT?! He did that to you?"

He was fuming in anger. Uh oh. Angry Jayden is not a good sight.

"Yeah. But I learn to how to handle it now,"

"Wait, then who is that girl on the photo frame? She looks like you,"

"That's my twin, Amanda," I said. Tears started to flow out.

Hey guys! I hope that you enjoy that chapter! I love you all❣️

Love,
