Without You: Jordan Greenwald love story

Nothing left

It's been a week since I last saw Jordan. He hasn't even texted me. I texted twice and he never responded. I was at work and then me and Charlie went out to lunch.

Jordan's POV:
I felt bad not talking to Maddie. I mean I was mad but it's been a week. I think she gets the point. I decided to drive over to her apartment and talk. When I got there I knocked on the door and Camila answered. "Hey, is Maddie home from work?" I asked. "Yeah she got out an hour ago. She's out with Charlie" she said. "Of course" I mumbled. "She might be back soon if you wanna hang around" Camila suggested. "No, that's ok, thank you" I said and left. I sat in my car in the parking lot. Waiting.

                           2 hours later...

I was done waiting. The longer I waited, the more I realized this wasn't going to work. The next day I texted Maddie to meet me at the Cafe. She came and we sat down at a table. "It's so good to finally see you. I missed you" she said and I was quiet. "We need to talk" I said. "Ok?" She said obviously confused. "I came to your apartment yesterday" I said. "Yeah Cami told me, I was out with Charlie" she said. "Yeah. I waited for you for 2 hours. And you didn't come" I said. "I was at lunch with Charlie and then we went to the movies and-" I cut her off. "I don't need to know what you were doing. All I know is that, the longer I waited there the more I realized that I can't do this anymore" I said. Her face dropped, her lips parted, and eyes sad. "What do you mean? Do what?" She asked. "I feel like we should take some time apart" I said sternly. "What? No, no, we're fine, I love you" she said trying to get closer to me. I moved back, "Maddie, you need to take time, your brothers back, so focus on that. Not me" I said. "Jordan don't do this" she cried. "I'm sorry Maddie" I said. I kissed her head and left.

Madeline's POV:

I went home. I was broken. I can't believe I was so dumb. I put Jordan second. It was all my fault. I heard I knock on my door. I prayed it was Jordan before I opened it but it was Charlie. He noticed I was crying and he looked worried. "Hey, what happened?" He asked. "Jordan just broke up with me" I cried. "What? Why?" He asked. I didn't want to tell him it was cause of him and make him feel bad. "I don't know. He said he needed a brake" I said. "Bullshit. I'm gonna kill him" he said. "Charlie no. I still love him" I said.

2 DAYS LATER...

I was in the elevator, going up to Jordan's apartment. I wanted to give him back his sweatshirt he gave me, and maybe talk to him about things. The door was shut and I knocked. I heard a crash and grunting. I opened the door and saw Jordan with Charlie pinned against the wall, he broke out of Jordan's grip and punched him in the face. "Jordan!" I said and I ran over to him. "What the fuck Charlie!?" I yelled. "Jordan are you ok?" I asked looking at his already bruising face. "Maddie please just go" he said. "I just wanna talk" I said. "Well I don't. So please just go and take your brother with you" he said. "Jordan please" I said. "Just go" he said. My eyes teared up and I handed the hoodie to him. He looked down at it, with a sad look. I turned around and left. Me and Charlie walked out and he closed the door. "Why the fuck would you do that?" I said. "Because he's an asshole" Charlie said. "No he's not! He broke up with me because I was ditching him for you! Which was obviously a mistake. Why would you come here and hurt him when I told you not to" I said. "Cause he's a dick! There's no reason for him to make you so upset" he said. "He's not a dick!" I yelled pushing him. His face changed completely. He swung and punched me in the face really hard. I screamed and I fell to the floor. He kicked me over and over. Things started getting dizzy. "Get the fuck away from her!" I heard Jordan yell. I saw him come out of his apartment and Charlie ran. I felt Jordan's arms pick me up. He carried me into the apartment and put me down on the couch. He grabbed a cloth and wet it. He dabbed the cut on my forehead. I flinched cause it stung a bit. "Sorry" He said. when he was done he put the cloth in the sink and sat next to me. "Thank you" I said. "I wouldn't let him just beat you up" he explained. "Well after what I did, I deserve it" I said. "No you don't" He said pushing a piece of hair out of my face and behind my ear. I smiled a bit. "Even with your face banged up. Your still the most beautiful girl. I've ever seen" he said, making me smile more. "I don't wanna be apart from you anymore" he said. "Me neither". I got up and sat back down on Jordan's lap. Both my legs around his waist, my arms around his neck, his around my waist. We both leaned in and our lips connected. It's like they moved in sync together, opening and closing, deepening the kiss. I heard someone calling my name. "Maddie. Maddie!" I heard. And then, I woke up. "Are you ok?" Jordan asked. It was all a dream. I sat up and kissed him just to make sure. He pulled away so quickly. "Maddie, what the hell" he said. "I'm sorry" I said getting up quickly. "I'm sorry. Im so sorry" I cried and ran out. "Maddie wait!" I heard him yell. But I just kept running. I ran to my car in the parking lot and drove home. I was so mad at myself. That dream felt so real. But that's all it was. A dream. I laid down in bed. Thinking of what was left for me. I had a job. Camila. But that's not much. So, what's the point?
