Dreams come to an end? 2nd book in trilogy.

chapter 38

Jordan's POV****

Nichole and I talk for what seems like hours after everyone leaves the call. "Hey Nichole do you maybe want to go to Minecon with us?" I ask as her face lights up. A huge smile spreads across her face as she screams "YEEESS!". I laugh so hard I nearly fall out of my seat causing her to laugh. "Okay then. Just letting you know we are leaving in 12 days so start counting down" I say as she continues to smile.

"Um this might be a weird question to ask but has Jerome said anything about me?" she looks down as if she was ashamed of what she just asked. "Yes actually he has. Why?" I ask as her beautiful smile returns to her face making her blush a deep red. "No reason. None at all" she says quietly as if she's trying to hide something from me.

"Nichole I may barely know you, but I can tell when anyone is trying to hide something from me. I'll give you a example. Ty and Katherine are telling the whole group something that has to do with me but I have no clue what about" I reply crossing my arms. "Fine. I may or may not like Jerome okay?" she answers as I throw both hands in the air. "I knew it! Who knows he may like you" I say winking before ending the call. "Jordan! Come pack! We're leaving in 5 minutes!" Ty calls from our bedroom as I rush in behind him, throwing my clothes and other items in a bag.

Jerome's POV****

"Fine. I may or may not like Jerome okay?" comes from my computer as my heart beats faster and faster. "She likes me?" I say to myself smiling. I never hung up the call and muted myself as I listened to the whole conversation.

Beep Beep Beep. They both hung up the call making me lose my train of thought. I run out of my room and down the stairs,  turning down the hall towards Mitch's room. "Katniss!" he shouts as I open the door seeing him recording the hunger games. I walk to his bed and sit down watching him until he finally ends his video. "Hey Mitch?" I ask as he spins his chair around looking at me.

"When did you get here bigumms?" he asks rolling towards me. "Do you remember Nichole? The girl from the ambulance that helped Ty?" I say looking at him as he smiles. "You like her don't you?" spills from his mouth as he crosses his arms. "Yes but, you won't believe what I just found out" I say smiling at the thought.

"What did you do?" he asks making us both laugh. "I um.. didn't end the Skype call and heard her and Jordan talking. Finally Nichole brought up me and admitted to Jordan that she likes me" I answer as my cheeks begin to feel hot. "Yep. You have a crush and your blush is proving it" Mitch says as I cover my face quickly.

"Dood just be careful. You guys technically havn't even had a real conversation yet" he says making my heart hurt. "That is why we have Minecon. We can get to know each other more throughout the couple of days" I say smiling even bigger. "You're right actually. That is how Ty and Jordan met. Look at them now about to be married" Mitch replies as I sigh. I have a chance. The only thing standing between Nichole and I right now is only time.

Jordan's POV****

"I'm going to go put my bag in the car!" I shout walking out the fron't door and out to Ty's car. I open the back door setting my bag in the back as I hear something behind me. "You know you shouldn't be out here. Especially when a criminal is lose" someone whispers from behind me. I stare in front of me terrified to turn around.

I slowly turn to see T.J. standing there in his old jacket with his hands in his pockets. I take a huge breath about to scream for Ty but T.J. interrupts me. "Scream and I'll slice your throat" he says pulling out a knife.

"Why can't you just leave me alone. I broke up with you for a reason. You may want me but I hate you with every ounce of my being. You hurt me so I left. Maybe if you would've treated me better I might would've still been with you" I say crossing my arms feeling good about what I just said. I've always wanted to say that to him.

"Put it this way Jordan. If I can't have you no one else can. You were made to be with me. Not that freak in the-" he starts but I interrupt him. "Ty is not a freak. You are!" I scream as he holds the knife to my throat. I pull back my arm about to punch him but T.J. is launched on to the ground with Ty on top of him.
