A New Beginning

Chapter 14

Jaden's POV

I woke up in the middle of the theater with lots of trash around me. I looked around and saw that neither Darian or Willow in the theater. I shrugged and lifted myself from my laying position. I rubbed my hands over my face a few times before heading towards the door. I went down to the kitchen to get some water and once I got downstairs, I realized the light was on and I heard movement, which told me that someone was in there. I peaked around the corner to the kitchen, and saw Darian sitting on our island with her back towards me. Her shoulders were continuously moving up and down quickly and it sounded like she was sniffling.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly. She quickly jumped off the island and turned around, with her hand over her chest.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." I walked towards her and reached out to grab her hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked pulling her towards me, though she just pushed me away.

"It's nothing Jaden, I'm fine." She said wiping her eyes and turning to walk off.

"Hey wait," I grabbed her arm and gently grabbed her chin so we could have eye contact. Every time I tried to get her to look at me, she would turn her head, look down, tried to look away, or just push me off.

"Look at me Darian." I tried once again, this time gaining her eye contact. I could see the tears at the rims of we eyes.

"Just tell me what's wrong." Those must have been the triggers because as soon as those words left my mouth. She threw herself into my arms. She sobbed and sobbed, soaking my shirt but I didn't really care. I but my lip slightly tryin to console myself from the scene. I hate seeing her like this. She eventually sniffles and rested her head on my chest.

"You still don't wanna tell me?" I asked.

"No I'll tell you. It's Daniel." My eyebrows furrowed.

"Daniel? What did he do!?" I asked fury building inside me.

"Nothing J. He didn't do anything. It's just, sometimes I feel like we aren't talking and I think he's doing things. It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that...I don't know. I just really like him and I don't like the feeling that I'm being lied to. It's pretty scary when someone you care about isn't being straight forward with you." She sighed and her grip around my torso tightened.

"I just wanna know the truth J." She whimpered.

I picked her up and say her on my island gently. I stood between her and our foreheads touched.

"Listen. I know you might not think Daniel's completely faithful, and I completely understand that. But I promise you. He's a good guy. No matter how much it kills me inside, you guys are basically meant for eachother because its obvious you make eachother happy. Just kn-"

"Wait what?" He cut me off.

"What?" I asked curious on why she stopped me.

"You said it kills you inside. What does?" She questioned. I sighed and looked down. Before I even really thought about it. I looked up at her and threw my lips onto hers. I thought her forst instinct would be to slap me, but she gave in and kissed back, her arms slowly landing on my shoulders. I pulled away while biting her lip and pecked her once more before I looked up at her.

"Does that answer your question?" Her cheeks were really red. I didn't even know she could blush this hard.

"Jaden you kn-"

"I don't care Darian. I like you. I really do. I just don't understand why you won't accept it. You don't believe me. Just let it happen. Let yourself fall. Just this once."

"I can't Jaden. That's the reason I left New York. I fell way to hard for a guy and he played me and then humiliated me infront if the entire school. The embarrassment turned made me a target for bullying and the emotional pain made it worse. It got so bad I had to leave. I don't think I could ever face any of those people. Even my own friends are ashamed of me because they warned me. But I didn't listen. Don't you get it Jaden? If all that happened with an ordinary city boy, just imagine what would happen if something went wrong with us. I wouldn't be able to even face the WORLD! I just can't deal with that."

"Why do you think I'm gonna hurt you!? I wouldn't do you like that. You know that! You've known me for about 7 months by now. You're the girl I've even looking for! You don't treat me like Jaden Smith the celebrity. You treat me just how I want to be treated. Like any other human being, and I am so grateful that I found a girl who does that. You are on my mind 24/7 and I can't help but always be happy when you appear in my mind. I just wish you would try to try to give me a chance. I really do." A small grin appeared on her face.

"You really think all of those things?" She asked, her grin growing wider. I nodded my head.

She jumped from her position on the island and jumped on me, hugging me.

"Thank you Jaden."

"It's nothing. Does this mean you dont hate me anymore?"

"Oh Jaden. I never hated you. I just held a grudge for a little too long." She stated.

"Well, do you wanna hear something I wrote?"

"Jaden, it's like 4 o'clock in the morning." I stated gesturing towards the clock.

"It'll only take a minute. I swear."


Darian's POV

He pulled me into their family studio and sat me down in one of the chairs infront if the booth. He handed me the headphones to put on my ear and pressed a button before a beat began to play.

"Girl I'm ready if you ready. Is it ever gonna be? If you wit' it then I'm wit' it girl. I'll accept all responsibility. I'll go out of my way,
To live out the words that you say. I don't wanna be the same oh no.
Maybe you could change me. Maybe you could change me." I smiled and looked up at him as the song continued.

The last lines if the songs played and I slowly slid the headphones for my head.

"Not to be cocky, but was that about me?" He chuckled.

"Yeah it is. I just wanted to straighten out my feelings and music is always the answer." I got up and pulled his face close to mine.

"You know I shouldn't be doing stuff like this. I have a boyfriend right at his home right now who just might be thinking of me right now. You sir, are making it very difficult for me to not sin." I whispered. He smiled and came even closer.

"Well why not just make all of this easier and kiss me." He challenged. I giggled and brought my lips to his. I pecked them a few times, kissing him a little deeper each time and causing a light smacking noise.

I pulled away, looking down.

"I really shouldn't be doing this Jaden. Daniel doesn't deserve this." He sighed.

"You're right. I'm sorry." We shared an awkward hug, and both went our separate ways.

"Goodnight Darian." He said before walking towards his room.

"Night Jay." I said before quietly entering Willow's room. I got back into the queen sized bed she had and just laid there to think.

My life is becoming a whirlwind.
