Last chapter I had it written where they were gonna make up and the I changed my mind delete the whole chapter and I ended up rewriting this almost abusive relationship scene... it escalated quickly :)

"Where are you?" I asked Jordan over FaceTime trying to see the area behind him but he was blocking it by holding his phone at a weird angle close up to his face.

"I told you Im making a short stop before picking you up for the party tonight. Calm down ill be there at the perfect time so we can show up fashionably late." He explained scanning around for something.

"I can hear little kids in the background!" I groaned board out of my mind.

"That's cause it's Halloween dork!" Jordan exclaimed. I childishly stuck my tongue out at him and he repeated the action. A loud knock came from down stairs.

"Brad kids are knocking at the door again!" I shouted in high hopes he'd hear me and hand out some candy.

"Lovely!" Jordan laughed at my shouting.

"I'm adorable shut up!" I said rolling my eyes.

"That's nice I don't care!" He shouted back.

"God Brad, you're so annoying!" I groaned loudly. "Get your ass here now before I stab someone!" I hissed into the phone ending the FaceTime when his laughter filled the silence. Someone continued knocking over and over again as I raced down the stairs missing a few to shut them up. I walked passed the festive bowl that held a pile of candy grabbing a few pieces off the top. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Trick or Treat" I heard the instant I opened the door. It was a large group of people I turned back around lightly walking back over grabbing the bowl of candy and quickly handing it out. The kids all said thank you and the adults all smiled and nodding before I closed the door and shivered from the slightly chilly weather against the bare skin. It's almost too cold for me to wear a tank top and shorts I decided walking back upstairs.

"Stop being so fucking lazy you get to answer the door next time!" I said walking into Brads room.

"Whatever princess, did you do the homework I assigned your class?" Brad asked looking up from a stack of papers I'm guessing he was grading.

"No, is my project in there?" I asked walking over to flip through some of the papers. When I saw the bright colors of lights on paper I pulled it out of the stack.

"Yeah you're boring me with all these concert pictures I gave you a eighty" He said going back to grading papers.

"Brad you do know I want to be a concert photographer right?" I exclaimed taking a pen and scribbling out the eighty replacing it with a ninety five. He just sighed in defeat and I made a victorious noise walking back out and down the hall to my room. I walked through the door letting it close behind me. I felt someone forcefully tug me back against them and screamed before a hand covered my mouth.

"Surprise!" They whispered in my ear. I turned around pressed up against the persons chest.

"Oh my god I seriously hate you!" I said punching his chest.

"Mhm no I think it's quite the opposite, dare I say you love me?" He laughed fake gasping. He planted a small kiss on my cheek and I looked up trying to hide my blush.

"We aren't even dating" I said looking back at him.

"I think you said testing the waters, I don't know you can still fall in love with me I'm irresistible. Just say it Jordan I love you!" Jordan said smiling a cocky grin.

"Jordan I lo...hate you" I said smirking slightly. He opened his mouth to object when my bedroom door opened.

"I heard someone scream" My moms new boyfriend said walking in. I groaned.

"I'm fine bye Greg!" I exclaimed resting my forehead on Jordan's chest in annoyance keeping my arms wrapped around his stomach.

"Who's this boy?" Greg asked.

"My friend." I said annoyance clear in my tone.

"Shouldn't you have a little more clothes on hanging out with a guy friend?" Greg continued asking questions. I completely forgot about the tank top and shorts I was previously shivering over.

"Sure Greg!" I said pretending to bang my head against Jordan's chest and tracing the letters 'SOS' on his back with my finger. He laughed lightly rubbing circles on my back and arm.

"Your mother and I think it would be best you didn't go anywhere tonight. You're only sixteen you should be trick or treating not going out to parties." Greg said before walking out of my room leaving the doors open.

"Who the hell was that?" Jordan asked.

"Oh my mom and dad are getting divorced they both kinda agreed its just not working so its not hell between them but that's her boyfriend, Greg." I said looking up at him.

"Seems a little over protective and you're not even his daughter." He said suddenly removing his arms from around me and again I noticed the chilly air against my skin.

"Well we can go trick or treating, I kinda wanted to anyways." Jordan said grabbing a bunch of bags full of costumes off the floor.

"I guess lets see them" I said gesturing to the costumes. He laid the costumes out on my bed.

"Okay Batman and Robin, Cop and robber, or Aladdin and Jasmine" He read off the names of the costumes.

"Lets try them all on except the Aladdin one I'm not a fan of that costume." I said grabbing the batman costume to give him and shoving him into the closet before he could object. I got changed as quick as I could. The dress is short coming down to mid thigh but it's not too short. I opened the closet door covering my eyes.

"You can look I'm dressed although you had no clue if I was or not" He chuckled.

"I covered my eyes first." I said removing my hand and sticking my tongue out at him.

"Okay we can wear these. You look hot. Lets go!" Jordan said stepping out of the closet. I laughed hoping he didn't notice the blush creeping its way onto my face.

"I think you should be my girlfriend!"Jordan blurted out.

"Wait what?" I said no longer laughing.

"I don't wanna keep testing the water the waters is perfect and I wanna dive into a relationship with you." He said completely catching me off guard.

"I don't know" I said trying to process what he had said.

"Come on I wanna be able to hold your hand and kiss you in public and show you off and bring you to parties and I just want a relationship with you. We already act as if we are dating why not just actually date?" He rambled on.

"Okay?" I said it coming out more like a question than an answer.

"Wait what?" He stopped talking seeming confused.

"I mean why not Brendon and I are on a break we are supposed to see other people you know to see what else's is out there. So yeah I mean why not let's try a relationship." I said trying to convince not only him but myself too.

"Okay we are going to go trick or treating like suggested thanks Greg" I said walking into the kitchen.

"You should put pants on under that its gonna be cold." Greg said looking surprised.

"No Im gonna go like this! Bye!" I said grabbing Jordan's hand pulling him from the kitchen and walking out the door.

"I'm glad you said yes" Jordan smiled at my holding both my hands behind my back.

"I am too actually" I smiled back turning around to look at him before kissing his lips briefly. I really am happy.
