"It's Something" # 2 - Something Different: Calum Hood [ completed ]

Chapter 23: Cry it out

(WARNING: Super dramatic. Emotional moment for Jenna. It'll make sense on why this happened in future chapters ^^)

"What are you doing here?!" Triston exclaimed at me, and I just kept my mouth shut.

My mind is going blank. Why is this happening? Why is he back? The time at the beach is flashing in my head. I don't want to relive it. No, this is insane. I can't let this happen to me again.

"JENNA." I felt someone grabbed my wrist, and again, I've been zoning out while walking again.

I turned around to see who it is, and it was Triston panting, "Wait just a minute. You didn't answer my question."

"I don't care." I snatch my wrist away, and began walking again, but Triston ran in front of me saying, "Can you PLEASE let me explain myself?"

"Why should I?!" I practically yelled at him, but noticed that there was a big echo. Jesus, how big is this house?!

"Jenna." He said to me in a low voice, and put his hands on my shoulders, "Please. Give me five minutes."

"Five minutes is not worth it." I shoved his hands off my shoulders, and ran out to the back yard.

I am so angry at this moment. Seeing Triston again makes me want to slap him in the face. Why should I give him time? HE USED ME TO GET TO LANI. How dare he use me. I can't handle this. I feel my face boiling. I feel this immense anger coming over me.

When I finally made it to the backyard, my mind went straight to Lani. I have to get out of here just for a moment. I can't take it. Knowing that he's around makes me sick in the stomach. Especially since Lani is here. I don't want him to get close to her at all.

"Woah," I felt someone tug on my arm, and I literally jumped, snatching my arm away, scared that it was Triston, but instead, I see Luke giving me a worried look.

"What's the rush?" He asked me, "Is everything alright?"

Don't screw this up, Jenna. Everyone is having a good time. Don't ruin this.

I nodded, smiling as wide as I can, "Yeah, dandy." Then took a deep breathe, "Just gotta go somewhere else for a bit."

"Are you sure?" Luke asked me again, and I nodded, assuring him, "Just fine."

He pursed his lips at me, observing my smile. I don't blame him though. I feel like I'm pulling of the FAKEST smile I had ever made in my life. I just have this anger that I can't shake off.

"Okay," Luke nodded, "If you say so."

"Where's Lani?" I asked him, and Luke pointed at the snack table, "Over there, but Jenna.."

I already started running towards her before he could finish. I need to tell Lani. I don't trust Triston here while Lani is too.

"Hey!" Lani smiled at me, and her face fell a little as she asked me, "You okay?"

I nodded, feeling overwhelmed, "Yeah, um, here's the thing-"

"Jenna!" I heard my name and Triston, and I grabbed Lani's hand, whispering, "I have to get out of here."

"Why?" She asked, confused, "I mean-"

"Jenna!" Triston came out of the crowd, panting even more, then his eyes widened at the sight of Lani, "Lani..."

"Hey," She said, looking even more confused, "What are you doing here?"

"Mia is my cousin." Triston explained which makes sense why he's here, but that doesn't mean I have to be in the same place as him.
