Better Together (COMPLETE)

Revenge

He left.

That's the only thought I have right now and am certain it's true. I have been standing at the parking for about  twenty minutes now and I don't see Jaden anywhere.

Nor is Kyle's car here which means he left.
I didn't see Jaden the whole day since morning but I honestly thought he would take me home.

I know I have been rude to him sometimes but I didn't think he would just leave. Right now, I feel like crying,i don't really have any other friends. Wow, if am really counting on Jaden,to be here, you can see how bad I feel.

I hate when people leave. When people don't keep their promies. He didnt refuse to take me home and to me his silence was an acceptance.

Of all the days for my car to be taken for repairs, it had to be today when Kyle was busy.

I don't really expect much from Jaden but the feeling I have right now, I can't even describe it. Am not disappointed, I just feel sad, forgotten and lost.

All the students have left, its getting dark and it's drizzling. I don't even know whether there are buses in this area. I have never thought about it, I didn't have any reason to.

If I start walking now, it will rain when am on the way and that will be worse. I can't call my mom because I know how busy she ever is.

All in all, am totally hopeless. I wish I had other friends in this damn town. Or better, I wish I never met Jaden. If he had refused to give me a ride, I could have planned earlier on what to do.

This is his revenge on me and it hurts like hell. More than I ever thought, anything he said or did would ever pain me this much. And just like that, I start crying .I have absolutely no one to turn to and it's the worst feeling in the world.

Jaden P. O. V.
It has been twenty minutes since I left school. Am standing at my window waiting to see her come back home. The sky is dark, drizzling and I know soon it's going to rain heavily.

This was my plan. To leave her so she could learn a lesson about how to talk to me. This should have made me happy.
But why am I so sad? Why do I feel like am the worst person ever?
I take the car keys and go downstairs and leave the house without saying anything to Kate.

Immediately I enter the car, it starts raining. Shit, I hope she's okay. Maybe I went too far with this revenge.

I drive way too fast, more than I should considering it's raining and within ten minutes, am at school.
I look around the parking but she's nowhere to be found. Maybe she left? Got a ride from someone else?

Just then I hear someone cough at the far end of the parking. I go there, just to find her with her head between her knees,shivering.
Shit,i did this to her.

"M"i call slowly.

She lifts her head up and looks at me.
Shit.Shes crying and it hurts so much that am the reason for that.
I kneel beside her, take off my jacket and put it around her shoulders.

"What are you doing here? "she asks, trying to wipe off her tears

"M, we should leave. You will get sick if you stay here any longer. "

"First of all, "she starts "don't call me that. Only my friends do and last I checked, you are definitely not one of them. Second, am already sick, there's nothing worse that can really happen now. "

" Am sorry "I tell her.
I really don't know, what's happening to me, but seeing her like this, it's really painful. I always wanted to make and see her angry ,but now looking at her it's like a switch has been turned off. All I want is to see her smile.

"Am really sorry I left. I just... "
"Don't be sorry. "She says looking at me.

"You don't owe me anything. And am sorry that I bothered you. It's honestly my fault, I should have looked for another way to get home. You should go, my mom is coming to pick me anyway. "

She says but I have a feeling she's lying. So I sit besides her and she looks at me with a puzzled look.

"What are you doing? "she asks sniffing.
Shit.She already got a cold.

"Am waiting with you till your mom comes. "
"You can't do that, I don't want you here. "

"I know you don't. But it's either that, or you come with me. "

I don't know if she will agree. She's the most unpredictable person I have ever met and for all I know she might just continue sitting  here or stand up and go somewhere else.

Suddenly, she just stands up, holding  my jacket against her shoulders and walks towards the car.

I smile at that. At least she didn't give it back. That can only mean she's really cold.

I walk towards the car and find her fastening her seat belt.

" Am really sorry. "
I say looking at her. I have never apologized so much ever in my life, like I just did with her.

"Don't be"
she says looking at the window "you came back. Maybe by now I could be dead back there"

I smile at that.This girl.

"So your mom wasn't coming? "I ask as I start the car

"She actually was .I will just text and tell her I got a ride. "

And with that, I drive us home without saying anything.
About twenty minutes later, we are home and I look at Marissa, just to see her sleeping.

She looks so peaceful that I feel bad I have to wake her up.

"M,"
I call but she doesn't even move. I  shake her slightly and she opens her eyes looking directly at me.
"We are home "
I say smiling at her
"Oh, okey" she says, unfastening her belt.

She gets out of the car but before she leaves, she turns and says,

"Thank you for the ride. "

And with that, she walks to her house.
I get out too, all the while thinking, leaving her at school was the worst and most selfish decision, I have ever made in my life.
