Chapter 32

Zion's P.O.V

Jordyn is making me so mad. 

I really like her, more than I've ever liked a girl but she keeps playing with my feelings. I understand that she isn't ready for a relationship but it's just the way she acts around me. She asks like we are dating but doesn't want the title. I know Jay has hurt her but I'm not like that. I'm trying not to be mad at her but that's so hard. At this point, I don't even want to talk or look at her. I know I'm making her feel bad and I'm being a dick head but I just don't care.

Deep into my thoughts, there is a sudden knock on my door.

" Come in" I yell, I would have assumed it would be one person but I was wrong. All the boys strolled into my room. Brandon closed the door once everyone made their way inside, he stood against the door while Austin and Edwin sat at the end of my bed while Nick sat on my desk chair. All of them are just sitting there looking at me, I gave Edwin a confused look then Nick proceeded to talk.

" Look, Zion, Jordyn told us what happened," Nick says

" That's not cool what you're doing, she's been hurt emotionally and physically, you can't expect her to immediately trust you" Brandon continues

" Especially after what you did" Austin mumbles but I could hear him, I shot him a deadly look

" Thank you guys, but I don't care," I say getting annoyed with the situation. I don't need people telling me what I already know 

" Zion," Edwin says 

" No listen, I know I'm a dick head and a complete fuck up when it comes to girls, I don't need a fucking reminder, now if you could just let me go please I would greatly appreciate it," I say while leaving my room. I run downstairs and make my way to the front door. While passing the family room I realized that Jordyn wasn't there, I didn't think much of it until I realized that her shoes were no longer at the front door. 

"WHERE'S JORDYN?" I yell out worried

" She left, something about her family," Charlotte says while walking towards me

" Is she okay?" I ask 

" I don't know, she was crying when she left," She says with the same worried tone in her voice

" How did she get home?" I ask Charlotte, confused because I drove her here

" I drove her," Tiffany says walking through the front door and taking off her shoes

" Why didn't anyone tell me this?" I ask getting mad

" Like you said, she isn't your girlfriend so we didn't think you needed to know," Tiffany says, I give her a dirty look

" But that's not what I meant. I still care about her" I say while grabbing my car keys

" Well you are doing a great job of showing her that," Tiffany says in a sarcastic tone

" Zion, if you really mean that go check up on her, she could really use you right now,"  Charlotte says. 

As much as I hate to admit it they are both right. I smile and hug them and make my way to Jordyn's place.

Jordyn's P.O.V

On the phone was my dad, I cried for two reasons. The first being the fact that  I miss him so much. He was mainly one of the reasons I left, besides Jay. My dad isn't the nicest guy, he cares for me but when it came down to all the Jay stuff he always sided with Jay. My mom was scared of my dad so she just went with whatever my dad says. He would abuse me, not physically just verbally and mentally. This is something I'll never tell anyone. I hate people showing me pity, it makes me feel like I am a sick puppy. Even though my dad is how he is I'll always and forever love him, I forgive too easy, hence why I always end up going back to Jay.

The second reason for crying was why he called me. He called to say that my mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer, stage 1. My mom is my best friend and I can't lose her. My dad told me not to worry or come home, it'll scare my mom and make it too real for her. He says that she'll be okay and she's looking at her treatment options. I wasn't allowed to talk to my mom since she was sleeping but my dad said he'll keep in touch with me and will let me know everything. He told me to be strong and that's exactly what I'm going to do when people are around. When I'm alone that's a different story, when I'm alone I'm going to need multiple tissue boxes. 

Tiffany drove me home since Zion is still mad at me and I didn't want to bother him so I left without telling him. I also didn't want to see him because I know I'll break down and tell him everything and I really wanted to keep this whole situation to myself.

I am currently laying down on my couch while watching Netflix and crying. Did I mention eating ice cream? If someone didn't know what happened then they would probably think that I just had my heart broke which isn't that far off from the truth.

Suddenly there were two loud knocks at my door, I don't have enough energy to go answer it so I decided to ignore it. 

Two more loud knocks rang throughout my apartment, I ignored it once again but they kept on knocking and knocking and knocking. I began to get tired of the noise and made my way towards the door. 

I open my door to be shocked and relieved at the same time. It's exactly who I didn't but also wanted to see. I smile and give him a big hug.

" Jordyn are you okay?" Zion asks while holding me. I just nod my head not wanting to speak. He tightens his grip around me before releasing me from his embrace. I lead him to the couch and he takes a seat next to me. He looks around the area and his smile drops.

"Jordyn, what happened?" He asks me, I shake my head

"I'm fine," I say while forcing a smile

" This does not look like fine" Zion says while motioning towards the mess of my apartment. "Don't lie to me and say your fine because I can tell you're not, you don't have to tell me what happened but just don't lie to me" Zion says. I nod my head

" I'm sorry," I say in a quiet voice

" Don't apologize but don't lie" Zion says, a smile that I didn't have to force appeared on my face, I leaned my head against his shoulder and continued the movie.

(TIME SKIP)

An hour has passed and Zion and I have been watching the movie in silence until he spoke up.

" So next week Friday the boys and I are throwing a party at our house, I was wondering if you'd like to come?" Zion asks me, I smile and nod, the biggest smile grows on his face and he nods as well. He turns back to the T.V and continues watching the movie.

" My mom has cancer," I say out of the blue, Zion looks at me and his smile drops, he reaches for the remote and pauses the movie then just stares at me

" What?" Zion asks confusion laced in his voice

" That's why I'm sad, my dad called  and told me,"  I say confessing to Zion

" Are you going to go visit her?" Zion asks me, I shake my head

" My dad says I'm not allowed to, he doesn't want me to stress her out any more than she already is," I say 

" It's okay, she'll be okay, I haven't met her but if you're so strong then I'm pretty sure she is," Zion says while rubbing my back to comfort me, I smile. " If you want to talk more about it or need a shoulder to cry on just know I'm here for you no matter what," Zion says. I smile and kiss his cheek

" Thank you," I say before he grabs the remote and plays the movie
