Promises🤞🏻 [Jaegan]

|Chapter 3|

JUSTINS POV:

after school ended, jayden was very anxious to talk to me. it scared me a little. after he saw me talking  to raegan during lunch, he didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. he knows i talk to raegan, why does he seem surprised all of a sudden?

im at my locker now, putting some books away that i don't need. i feel hands on my shoulders and a loud voice in my ear that makes me jump.

"hi bestie!" i recognize anthony's voice. i turn around and smile, hugging him tight. he hugs back, picking me up off my feet a little.

"hey." i say into his shoulder. there is nothing better than hugging your best friend.

"you okay?" he asks me, pulling away from the hug. i nod slightly to him.

"yeah, i love you." i say to him. he tangles his fingers in my hair roughly, messing it up.

"you softy. i love you too." he says teasing me.

"shut up." i tell him playfully, shutting my locker and seeing raegan already talking to anthony. i don't look at them and watch jayden come down hall to me.

he gets to me and grabs my hand, trying to drag me away but i stop him.

"woah what's going on?" i ask him. he looks heated as he looks into my eyes.

"i need to talk to you, let's go." he says pulling me towards him forcefully. i shake my head.

"wait-"

"hey, woah." i feel anthony pull my arm, realizing how hard jayden was pulling me. i rip away from jayden for a second.

"what's up with you?" ant asks jayden, putting his arm around my shoulder.

"i need to talk to justin." he says, his voice deep and demanding. ant seems to ignore what he says and looks at me.

"come home with raegan and i." he whispers. i swallow hard and glance at jayden. he's just standing there, looking at us.

"i'm going to go with jayden." i say quietly. "it's fine, he's just anxious to talk."

"okay, well come home before dark." he says, hugging me. i nod in his shoulder.

"i will." i say and walk towards jayden. he grabs my hand again and we walk down the hall. i look back quickly to see ant talking to raegan.

once we get to his house, we go inside and he shuts the door. he takes a look at me and his facial expression scares me. why does he look so pissed?

"what is it babe?" i ask, following him to the couch. he sits down and takes a deep breath.

"why was raegan all over you in the hall during lunch?" he asks, and i almost think he's kidding for a second. but he's not.

"what? all over me? we are friends and he was helping me." i explain to him. he's really mad about this? he knows raegan is my friend.

"i don't care that he's your friend. he was close to your face and why would he need to help you?" he asks and i gulp. i cant tell him.

"i wasn't feeling the best." i say quietly, clearly lying. he rolls his eyes.

"i don't like you being friends with them." he says, and my heart drops. my own boyfriend doesn't like me being friends with my two other best friends.

"what? i've been best friends with ant forever and raegan has been my friend for a while too. why is this such a problem all of a sudden?" i say quickly to him. he stays quiet for a second.

"it's not. ive felt this way for a while and i don't like them. they are too touchy." he says, looking at me. i laugh, irritating and getting off the couch.

"im not going to sit here and listen to you telling me that i can't be friends with my two best friends. that's ridiculous." i say and he stands up with me. he stares me in the eyes and breathes deeply through his nose.

"we are done if you don't stop being friends with them. i'm not dealing with this. you spend a lot of time with them and it's gone on for long enough." he says, a little louder.

"that's so stupid! i love you, they are just my friends." i say as loud as him. he doesn't say anything and just stands there, lowering his eyes. "i'm not doing this right now." i say.

i walk over to the front door but before i get there, i feel a tight grip on my arm. i turn and see jayden holding me tightly.

"stop, i'm leaving." i say trying to rip from his grip but he won't let go.

"no! i am not done talking to you." he says pulling at my arm. i tug away as fast as i can and slip out of his grip. that makes me fall to the ground, and my heart rate speeds up.

"jayden please." i say standing up slowly, my breathing speeding up rapidly.

"stop being friends with anthony and raegan." he says, getting all in my face. "i'm serious."

"please, i don't want to lose you. but i can't lose my best friends either." i say, trying to compromise with him. he's never put his hands on me like that before.

"so its me or them. pick." he says staring me dead in the eyes. i shake my head, still feeling panicked. "justin i swear-"

he tries to get to close to me again but i back up. i grab my bag and run out of his house, running down the street. jayden took me to his house with his car. i can't drive myself home.

i run about a half way down his street before i start walking and i take out my phone. i go to anthony's contact and press call. i'm out of breath.

"hey justin." i hear as he picks up the call.

"are you busy?" i ask him, and it's quiet for a moment.

"i'm with raegan, but what's up?" he asks, his voice soft and caring. i know i'm always first before raegan.

"c-can you pick me up near jayden's?" i ask.

"near?" he asks confused. "are you at his house?"

"no i'm uh, i'm down the street. walking." i say and i notice how broken i sound and i feel tears in my eyes. i hear rustling on the phone.

"i'm on my way. stay there." he says and hangs up. i take my phone away from my ear and put it back in my pocket. i stay where i am, wiping my tears.

jayden has never done anything like that. he's never been that rough and he's never asked me to pick between my best friends and him. he's always been so sweet with me. i don't know what happened.

a few minutes later, i see anthony's car pulling down the street. he stops his car in front of me and gets out, rushing to me. he hugs me, squeezing me tight and i hold back my urge to let tears fall.

"hey, what happened? are you okay?" he asks, sounding worried.

"let's go home first." i say, just wanting to get out of here. he nods, and i get in the back seat. i realized that raegan is in the car just now. he looks back at me and i notice i'm still breathing a little heavy.

"hey it's okay. calm down." he says reaching for my knee in a comforting way. he rubs my knee gently. i nod, calming down a bit.

"i'm okay." i whisper, touching his hand that's on my knee. he looks down at it and looks back up at my eyes. his eyes, i never want to look away.
