The Bad-Boys Roommate

Gemma?

"Gemma?"

Her body freezes as she recognizes my voice and slowly turns around. When she see's my disappointed stare she curses and throws the cigarette in her mouth on the ground and stamps on it harshly. We stand there looking at each other for what felt like hours until she suddenly spoke up.

"Why are you here?"

"is that your explanation? Why am i here!? why are you here, Gem? This isn't you" My anger gets the best of me and i start shouting at her, something i didn't want to do and probably shouldn't of done.

"Just fuck off Bella, What do you mean this isn't me? you don't know who i am because you haven't fucking spoken to me for weeks!" With each word she steps closer to me until she is just centimeters away from my face.

"Whats going on here?" Behind her stands a tall good looking guy who i dont recognize, probably one of her druggie friends.

"Dont worry Blake its nothing," She shrugs off. Blake? as in Blake who she lives with?!

"Oh Blake, so this is your fault for getting her into this?," I move over towards Blake as i shout at him only to be pulled away by Gemma telling me to leave again. I take a long sigh and realised that it was my fault she had become like this. If only I could have gotten over my stupid feelings for my roommate and made an effort to spend time with her she wouldn't be like this. Because no matter what she says, this isn't her.

"Come on Gem, stop trying to be someone you're not," I tell her in almost a whisper.

"Well thats rich coming from you considering you've been pretending to be someone you're not for years now!" She shouts in my face and I only look at her in confusion. "The good girl act isnt fooling anyone anymore!"

"What good girl act?" I ask her weakly, utterly confused.

"The act you have been trying to use to convince yourself that you arent the reason your parents are drug addicts!" She screams and tears instantly start falling down my cheeks "And the reason your real Dad left with the only other family you had left! Hadnt you ever wondered why he didnt take you with him?"

Tears continue flowing down my face. I cant believe Gemma- the person i trust most, the person i have told everything and the person who was there for me through all of this- is saying this to me. Just as i think ive heard enough of what she thinks of me she continues.

"He didn't take you because it's your fault! all of the mess your fucked up family is in! You ruined his and your siblings family so he stopped loving you and moved away to half way around the fucking world." She spat at me. No, she didn't mean this. This isnt true.

"And now you dont have anyone left, because you've gone and pushed me away as well like you do with everyone in your life!!" That was the final blow and i collapsed on the floor in tears. Gemma doesnt help me up, she just scoffs at me and walks back to Blake who puts an arm around her waist. Suddenly im picked up off the floor by someone who then engulfs me into a huge hug.

My eyes are too clouded by tears to see who it is but by the smell of his chest its the only person i can rely on anymore, Jaden.

"Come on baby, don't cry," he whispers soothingly in my ear and soon enough my tears start to stop. We were stood in that position for what felt like forever and i couldn't have been more glad to have him because without someone there for me at the moment I'm not sure what i would have done.

-------------------------------

Its now been a week since my argument with Gemma happened and it seems like Jaden has just completely forgot what happened. Last Friday, he ordered a taxi and took me home immediately without once unlinking our hands. When we got home, he let me have the bed and he took the sofa and although i didnt tell him this, i would have preferred him to be in the bed with me.

I didn't sleep that whole night and Jaden made sure of that by his strangely loud snoring all night. On Saturday morning, he told me that he had to go somewhere and ignored me when i asked where. He didn't come home the whole day and since then ive only seen him either when im about to leave or when he comes home briefly.  

I went to uni as normal on Monday and when the others asked where we went i explained that i got into an argument (but of course not what about) and that we had to leave. They didn't ask many questions so i didn't tell them anymore and we carried on as normal.

The only good thing about today was that it was football practice today and then our first game was on sunday morning. The only good thing about being the only girl on the team was that i had the whole changing room to myself, well thats what i thought.

"Bella?" I turn around to see Jaden casually standing in the doorway to the changing rooms. I scream and scramble to get a towel to cover my almost naked body. He chuckles from behind me and although this was an awful situation i couldnt help but thinking how glad i was i wore my nice underwear. Good going, Bella. After several minutes of embarrassing scurrying trying to hide my bare skin i finally found a towel. 

"What do you want?" i almost shout when ive calmed down and i turn around to see not only Jaden but Tyler, Cole AND Ace. I groan out loud to hear more chuckles and cheers from the boys. 

"God if i'd known you had a body like that, i would of moved in with you two as well. Why didn't i think of that before, we would have had to share a shower!"

"Shut up Tyler!" I groan and then i remember my previous question, "Guys, what are you doing here!"

"We were just telling you that training started 10 minutes ago," Seriously? They couldn't of knocked? Jaden tells the others to go on ahead and both me and them look at him suspiciously but he just shrugs it off and they boys leave.

"So ," He starts then walks fully into the room and sits down on one of the benches so i take the hint and sit down next to you. When he doesn't carry on i decide to say what i wanted to instead.

"So you don't talk to me for a week and then you walk in on me in my underwear and laughs as if everything was normal" He looks shocked at what i had to say which makes me laugh, if he pretends that he doesn't know what im talking about im pretty sure im going to hit him.

"What do you mean i haven't talked to you," He questions and i roll my eyes.

"You know exactly what i mean." 

"Fine, maybe ive been a bit distant," He says while gritting his teeth.

"Why though? what did i do to deserve that!?" 

"You didn't tell me about your parents!" He shouted back and my jaw literally dropped.
