Hey Doll

Warnings: Breakup; Sadness

*based on true events :(

Jordan's POV

"Can I ask you a question?" Jeydon asks.

"You just did," I reply after I turn away from Alex, Johnnie, and Jake. Jeydon gives me a very unamused look.

"We need to talk," he says.

"Okay," I reply.

"In private," he adds.

"Oh," I say. I turn back to Alex, Johnnie, and Jake. "I'll be back. Jeydon and I must talk." They nod in understanding.

I get up from my seat and follow Jeydon into our room. Well, the room we use when we stay at Johnnie's apartment.

"What did you need to talk about?" I ask.

"Well, some of my friends, are, uh, skeptical about our relationship. Like, they were disappointed when I told them who I was dating," he replies.

"Who are they?" I ask, feeling my whole body heat up due to slight anger. How could someone be mad at another person for loving someone?

"No one in particular," he says, "but, one of their birthdays is coming up. What if their wish is for me to not be bisexual?"

"No one would wish that. Not even the strictest Christian family. They would just forget that part of their child. Which is sad. They would see it as a phase," I assure him.

"But some parents send their children to therapy," Jeydon says.

"Don't be so negative, please," I tell him and he sighs.

"But, someone I love, a lot, confronted me about our relationship," Jeydon adds. His voice sounds thick, as if he could cry. He seems very hurt. I don't like it.

"What'd they say?" I ask.

"They asked me: ’Why can't you and Jordan just be friends?‘" Jeydon replies, "it really hurt me. It made me question things. Like, is it best for us to not be together?"

"Maybe," I reply, "I mean, I wouldn't have to hide anything from some of my family. I wouldn't have to worry about referring you to something else other than a ’best friend‘ around those people."

"I don't want to leave you," he says, "I love you. These last six months have been the best six months of my life. I don't want it to seem like they were a waste."

"They weren't," I say, "and, we can continue on."

He looks down. "I think it's best if we just go back to being best friends. So we don't ruin anything."

Those words cut like a knife. I can see tears rolling down his cheeks. I feel like crying myself. We're both hurt. This is like a parasitic situation, only we're both being harmed.

"I'm sorry," he says, "b-but I don't w-want to disappoint m-my friends and family."

"It's...okay," I manage to get out. He then hugs my tightly. "I'm so sorry," he repeats, "you deserve better."

"Jey, you are one of the best people I know," I say gently, "I can't get anyone better than you." We then pull away from each other.

"I gotta go," Jeydon says. Before I can stop him, he exits the room. Hopefully he's just exiting the room!

I finally have time alone. I let the tears I had been holding back escape. This hurts. A lot. How could I let him get away like that? I'm so stupid!

A exhale slowly. I get my phone out of my pocket and go to Spotify. I go to my playlist and tap shuffle. "Hey Doll" by RuPaul plays. I don't really get anything out of the song till the chorus.

"Hey doll, don't despair when the sky's turning gray / Rain falls down upon you, but it washes away / All the pain and the heartache / Teardrops on your face / Hey doll, hey doll / It's gonna be okay."

So, does that mean everything will be okay? Jeydon and I will remain friends? I hope this song's meaning is correct in my case. The meaning is: everything will be okay.

(A/N: Yeah, I'm a single pringle again and it hurts. Hugs?)
