Promises🤞🏻 [Jaegan]

|Chapter 4|

JUSTINS POV:

we get to anthony's house (our house) and go inside. raegan is still with us, but i don't really care. he knows me enough for me to not care what he hears. i get embarrassed around him sometimes but what he hears, he won't repeat or do anything about it.

ant brings me over to the couch and just hugs me again, making sure i'm okay. again, i squeeze his body tight. he makes me feel better already.

"what happened? please talk to me." he says, looking into my eyes and i feel a sharp pain in my arm. i rub it gently, remembering the grip jayden had on it.

"jayden and i just had a little fight." i say, glancing at raegan who has his eyes on me also, on the other side of the couch.

"i swear to god, if he touched you i'll-"

"it's okay." i say, cutting off his words. "he grabbed my arm a little hard because he wanted me to stay but i just ran out. i didn't like what he was saying." i continue, and anthony's eyes widen.

"so he did touch you?" he asks, making sure he heard right what i just said. i nod slightly.

"yes but it wasn't bad. we both disagreed on it." i say, lying a bit.

"did he seem really angry?" he asks me, and i feel a lump in my throat. i shake my head.

"no." i say quietly, lying more now. he was angry, i could see it in his face. he didn't care that i fell to the ground or that i was actually scared of him. because i was.

"justin, i'm going to talk to him." he says and my eyes widen in fear.

"no no, it's okay. i'm okay. it was just a normal argument." words spill out of my mouth like i had no clue what to say. which i didn't, and i keep lying to my best friend. i'm not okay, i'm scared. i cant chose between my best friends and my boyfriend.

"let me get you some water." he says and stands up, walking to the kitchen. i must still look a little in shock. i've never experienced that before.

"you are such a bad liar." my eyes move to the sound of the voice and it's raegan's voice. i look at him confused, and he shakes his head. "i've learned anthony has never been able to tell a bad liar. but i can." he adds.

"i'm not lying." i whisper. he keeps his eyes on mine, and it feels like we are having a staring contest.

"i know that was more than just a regular argument."  he says and i take a deep breath. shit.

anthony comes with a glass of water for me and i drink it slowly. he just looks at me, but i don't look at him. i don't look at either of them.

four, hard knocks at the front door catch all of our attention. i look over at ant and he gets up, going to the door. he opens it and from the view of the sitting room, i can see its jayden. no no no.

"what do you want?" anthony asks harshly, not letting him in. i cant see jayden that good, but i can hear them perfectly.

"let me talk to justin." he says from outside, his voice sounding soft. did he calm down maybe? or is this an act to get past anthony.

"he doesn't want to talk to you." ant says with no problem, shaking his head at him.

"well i do, so let me in." he says and pushes past anthony, walking into the house. i stand up from the couch and he sees me, walking over. "justin please-"

"you need to leave." i say, my voice serious as ever. i don't want him here and that needs to be clear.

"babe please, let's talk." he says softy, holding out his arms to put on my hips. i take them off but he just gets closer to me.

"no i'm not talking to you." i say moving to the side, trying to get away from him. raegan stands up from the couch and i feel myself accidentally hit him as i back away from jayden. he stays behind me, and i assume his eyes are on jayden.

"leave jayden!" anthony says loudly, but jayden ignores it. he tries again, to get closer to me but i shake my head. tears, along with fear in my eyes.

"i'm not leaving until i get to talk to you." his voice sounds frustrated and angry. how do i get him out of here?

raegan moves in front of me, pushing me back behind him. raegan is taller than jayden, so jayden has to look up at raegan.

"he doesn't want to talk to you, so why don't you don't you do all of us a favor and leave." raegan's voice can get so deep and scary, i just realized. i've never seen this side of him.

jayden backs up slowly, and then walks to the front door and out of the house. anthony shuts the door and locks it. i let out a breath i didn't even know i was holding in. raegan turns around and i wrap my arms around his neck, squeezing him tightly. he wraps his around my waist.

"thank you." i say to him, as i notice my voice is shaky. he rubs my back with his hand, nodding his head.

"shh calm down. you're shaking." he says and we just stand there hugging. i never want to let go of him. he actually stood up for me like that. i pull away and look into his eyes. oh my god.

"jay?" i look at anthony beside us. "how bad was that argument?" he asks and i don't answer. i just move to hug him as well. who knows what have happened if they weren't here.

"its something so stupid." is all i say and he pulls away quickly. "i'm sorry that happened."

"don't be sorry, i just don't want you to get hurt." he says, and i smile a bit.

"i won't let him take advantage of me. i'm going to talk to him later." i say looking from raegan to ant. they both nod, and i laugh a little.

"good." anthony's says, messing with my hair a little. i swear? he's the best friend in the world. i've never met someone who cares so much about me.

"i love you guys." i say to both of them, and ant hugs me again.

"i love you more bestie." he says which makes me laugh. i love the nickname.

if i really have to chose, i'm choosing my best friends. and i won't be sorry about it.
