THE BADBOY NEXT DOOR (completed)

Gifts From the Bad Boy

Heyyy my little chickens! Hope you all are doing good. Here's another chapter! Hope you enjoy xx

*********

Sitting on my bed, I couldn't get Jake off my mind. Why did he care so much about me? Why did he want to get me back so bad? The words he'd said kept replaying in my head over and over again. "I'll never stop trying to get you back."

I sound so stupid being this upset about a guy who kissed his ex girlfriend... Jake and I were never even dating. In fact not even close to dating, what am I doing to myself?

I turned around to see the teddy bear Chase had given me earlier. I grabbed it and held on to it as tightly as possible as the tears began to pour out all over again. I cry. But it's not enough. Not enough to get rid of the squeezing pain in my chest, not enough to take away all the sadness I was feeling.

Knock knock.

Ugghghhhh who could possibly be here so early in the morning?

"MOM GET THE DOOR!" I yell with a croaky sleep riddled voice. No answer. "HELLO?!" Ah, she must be out, as per usual these days.

I get up slowly.

Knock! Knock!

"Geez, I'm coming!" I yell angrily. I'm so not in the mood to actually socialise today.

I open the door and before I can even see who it was someone literally jumps on me, making me stumble backwards in shock.

"OMG GET OFF ME!" I shriek, completely unsure of who it was who just attacked me.

I open my eyes to see Mia with a bright smile across her face.

"MIA!" I exclaim and hug her back tightly.

"Girlllll I have so much to tell you!" She squealed.

"How was the dance!?" I grin in anticipation. I needed to hear everything! I mean come on, you can't possibly tell me that she wasn't the slightest bit into Drew. It was pretty obvious. Something obviously happened last night. I jump up and down on the spot excitedly

"Amazing! Drew is so cute!" She sighed blissfully.

"Tell me all about it!!" I ordered, yanking her inside and we sit down in the lounge room.

Mia tells me everything from start to finish. Drew seems amazing for her. You can tell how much they like each other. I'm so happy for her but something about all of it makes me unbelievably sad.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think it has something to do with my little Jake dilemma.

I can't help but wonder....should I forgive him?

"So Aliya... How are you?" I look up at her. I can tell her the truth right now or I can lie and say I'm fine. Instead of either of these options I just brake down into tears...again.

Yeesh I cry a lot.

"Aliya! What's wrong!?" She exclaims pulling me into a quick hug then pulling away to look me in the eyes with worry.

"I...I...I don't know If I can do this anymore Mia," I sob.

"Do what? What's happened?" I've forgotten that I haven't really told Mia about Jake at all. We've only started talking again recently.

"Where do I even start?" I sigh hopelessly, putting my head in my hands.

"Tell me everything, I'm here now Aliya. I'm sorry, I'm not leaving."

I hug her so tightly and tell her everything from the very start.. From Jake and then to Chase to Cheryl then on and on.....

"Wow" Mia's mouth hangs wide open now in shock. I laugh weakly.
