Jersey High | Grayson Dolan

Four

As I arrived at home, all that was blowing up my phone were texts and calls from Grayson. As much as I wanted to pick up the phone, I couldn't. I knew this wasn't the best thing for him. Negativity wasn't treating him well so far. I knew exactly what I had to do from getting either Ethan or Grayson hurt, again or at all. Ethan was already in excruciating pain, and he was on pain killers at the moment, but I still felt horrible at what I caused.

I texted Jake. I needed to 'get back together' with him to protect Ethan and Grayson. They were my best friends at the moment, but all I could do right now was talk to my mom.

I sat my mom onto the couch and told her everything that has happened so far, she listened carefully, and closely. She analyzed every last detail.

"Now I think I should 'get back together' with Jake so that I can keep Ethan and Grayson safe." She nodded her head while biting her lip and looking down at the ground for a couple seconds before responding.

"I think that would be a good idea for now, until you know he won't hurt them anymore." she suggested

"Mom!" I exclaimed "You're supposed to be encouraging me to do whatever my heart wants, and right now it really doesn't want Jake." I took a deep breath "What am I actually supposed to do. I don't want to lose my best friend."

She looked at me with a playfully sad face. "If you really don't want to get back together with Jake, then don't, but if you want to keep your friends safe, maybe you can find another friend, that isn't a guy." I looked at her wide - eyed. "What I'm trying to say is, just stay away from other guys until this Jake boy lets go of this." Her words were starting to make sense in my head

"I know you're a smart girl, Jordan. You just need to learn to plan afterwards if things don't go right." I nodded and smiled. I checked my phone. It was 4:23 PM. I needed to film a video for this Friday. It can sometimes take days to edit and I needed to get started as soon as possible. People kept tweeting me to do another response video to Jake's video, and since I didn't have much time to do a regular video this was all I had. I set up all my materials and started filming

"Hey guys, it's Jordan. I'm back for another video, this week, more drama has been going around the internet. Everyone has been telling me to react to Jake Paul's video, and to be honest, I know him. He did kiss me. I never kissed him back. He went around my new school telling everyone that we were dating, which we weren't. I don't like big gestures, he brought me up to the school's roof when he was supposed to be giving me a tour. I'm taking a wild guess here and saying that I think he thought what he was doing was romantic. I didn't enjoy any of it and to be honest I kind of wish it never happened. These are just my opinions and the truth on what's going on. I'm not forcing you guys to believe me because if you want to believe Jake, by all means, go ahead. This could also just be one side to the story. Since I've been following your suggestions lately, comment down below what you guys would like to see next." I inhaled and started again. "That's it for this weeks video, I know it wasn't a lot, but you guys wanted a response to all of this. Thanks for watching. I'll see you guys next Friday. BYE!" I ended the video and put my stuff away.

I quickly got most of the editing out of the way when I started to get really tired. I got up and headed over to my bed, my pajamas already on because I never ended up getting dressed today. I crashed down onto my bed and fell asleep. It was such a stressful day today, I can't imagine what it must've been like for Ethan. The boy got stabbed

Sunday went by pretty fast, it was mostly the same as yesterday, my phone constantly blowing up from Grayson, and now Ethan had my number too. My phone was completely filled with their names. I know I can't keep ignoring them forever, but I can at least try to for as long as I can before I can't anymore. I fell asleep Sunday night, dreading school tomorrow. I really didn't want to go, but I knew had to.
