TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of suicide. Don't listen to Jefferson.
Jefferson's P.O.V (Guess who's back? Back again. Jeffmads' back. Tell a friend. Also, pfft cliffhanger, what cliffhanger?)
I walk down the hall, hiding the scars of regret on my wrists in my jumper pocket. I hear footsteps behind me and suddenly another arm links with mine and I see Madison smiling up at me, his teeth shining brighter than the sun. Seriously though, I've never met anyone who brushes their teeth more often than this guy. He says hygiene is important which I get but don't they say that everything's bad for you if you do it to much?
Anyway, as we walk down the hallway, we are almost knocked over by Laurens running down the hallway with tears streaming from his eyes. He was closely followed by Angelica, who stopped, looked at us in disgust and then rolled her eyes as she raced after Laurens. I felt a shiver of guilt run down my spine and my eyes drift towards the ground.
"Don't let it bother you." Madison says as he completely shrugs off the situation and drags me down the hallway, smiling. How can he be so positive all the time? He drags me outside the dorm building and takes me down to Usnavi's cafe. We go to walk in the door but get stopped by Sonny.
"Sorry guys, we're closing early today."
"Why?"
"Well, let's just say that Usnavi's a little over excited about something."
"Is he going on a date with Vanessa?"
"Hell yeah he is!"
"Good on him! Congratulate him for us."
"Will do! See you guys tomorrow?"
"Yep, see ya then!" I don't understand how Madison can handle conversations so easily. I'm always awkward and shuffling my feet, but I guess that only started when he broke up with me and things turned to shit. That leaves me wondering...
"Madison? Were you... upset when we broke up?"
"Are you kidding? I cried myself to sleep most nights! And if I didn't do that, I was up looking at photos of you! Jefferson I wasn't upset, I was devastated." Those words made my heart sink. I made him cry. He didn't sleep because of my stupid decisions. I feel tears welling in my eyes.
"You should've let me die that night..."
"What?"
"All I've done is be an inconvenience in your life but you didnt let me go. Why? Why cause yourself more pain when you could have let it all go?" Silence hovered in the air as I wiped my tears away with my sleeve.
"Because I love you."
"No. You can't love something thats made your life so difficult, you cant sleep."
"Jefferson, if anything you've made my life easier. You gave me a sense of hope when everything else in my world was crumbling down. Sure, times have been tough between us, but I still love you no matter what. Don't ever think otherwise." He held my hands in his and looked me in the eyes as he said these words which only caused more tears. He pulled me into a tight embrace. I'm so lucky to have him in my life.
Alex's P.O.V (there, you happy? Less cliffhanger, more feels😈)
When I opened the door I was attacked by a hug and I felt tears stain my shirt. It didn't take me long to realise who it was. I held John in the hug as he sobbed so much, it made me sob more then I already was.
"John, I am so so sorry... I was stupid and rude and foolish. Do you forgive me?"
"Idiot. I ran after you and now my head is next to yours and I'm sobbing. Of course I forgive you." He pulled me into a kiss that melted my heart just like the first time, except this time, the saddenss melted with it.
