Angels Die

Chapter 2 First Big Shock

It's been two weeks since school went back and it's fair to say they have been the strangest two weeks of my life. Dylan has been distant ever since our argument over Xavier. It's not like we aren't talking or anything, but it just doesn't feel the same, it's like he's hiding something. I don't want to talk about it to him, in the fear that we will get into a big fight.

Come to think of it, Willow hasn't really spoken to me much after our trip to the mall last week. Well I guess Willow and I never actually had a friendship, it's basically just for show and popularity. It's quite sad really.

As I sit on my bed thinking about the last couple of weeks I decide to send Xavier a quick text asking him to meet me.

Hey Xav, want to come over? -JJ

It only took a few minutes for him to reply.

Yeah sure. Be there in 10! -Xavier

I smile as I read his text. If there is one thing I love about Xav is that he is always there when I need him, no matter what. It's a bonus that he only lives a few minutes away from my house as well. I sit on my bed scrolling through my Instagram feed while I wait for Xavier to arrive.

When I hear the doorbell ring I spring off my bed and rush downstairs to the door. Mum and Dad are at work and considering I'm an only child I am home alone. I swing open the door to see Xavier, I give him a big hug. I must have hugged him a little longer than I thought.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asks me when he finally pulls away.

I don't understand why, but as soon as he said that I burst into tears. I had obviously been holding back tears for a while now because they didn't stop flowing.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Come sit and we can talk about." Xavier slung his arm around my shoulders and guided me over to the couch. We just sat there for a while until I had calmed down enough to speak.

"Okay, how about you tell me what's up? Who do I need to kill now?" He raised his eyebrows at me and I laughed. Even when I'm upset he always finds a way to make me smile, he doesn't realise how grateful I am for that.

I start to tell him what's going on.

"Well, Dylan and I had this fight in like the first two seconds on the first day of school and he has been really distant lately. Whenever I try to talk to him about it he just shrugs it off and says not to worry about it anymore. But how can I not worry about it? He's been spending more time with Willow and his jock friends than he has with his actual girlfriend! Speaking of Willow, she hasn't even been supporting me through this, she says that Dylan has his reasons, but she won't tell me what. Like seriously, what the hell?!"

He doesn't say anything for a few seconds, I guess he has to proses that. When I get angry I tend to ramble on and speak really quickly.

"Okay, what was this first argument about anyway?"

I bite my lip when he asks that. How could I tell him that our friendship has been the cause of all this drama? I can't do that to him.

"Jade?"

"Yeah?" I look up at him as he talks.

"I said, what was the first fight about?"

"Oh, the first fight? Um, well it was about Nico. Dylan was just saying that I was flirting with him, but really I wasn't."

I try to make my lie as convincing as possible, I really don't want him finding out about the real reason, I didn't want to lose him over something like this.

"Nico? You mean Dylan's friend? The jock?"

"Uh, yeah, that's the one."

"That's strange, you sure you weren't implying anything?"

"What! Xavier, no I wasn't! How could you take his side?" I said in a hurt voice.

I must admit I might have jumped to a bit of a conclusion there, he didn't really say I was doing anything, but lets just say I am a terrible liar.

"JJ, I am not taking the loser's side. You know I have never liked him. You could do so much better than that. But it's your choice. I'm telling you, don't let this be a bad thing, I think it's about time you see him how I do. Trust me, you would be better off without him anyway."

I stare at him with my mouth wide open in shock.

"How could you say something like that?! He's my boyfriend Xavier!" I guess I started tearing up, because I feel a tear fall down my cheek.

"J I'm sorry okay? I snapped and I didn't mean that. It's just seeing you so upset makes me hate the guy. Look, I think you should go over and talk to him about it. Just explain what you feel and then I'm sure he will forgive you."

"Do you think so?"

"Yeah, I do. Come on, I'll drive you."

I give him another quick hug as we go to sit up.

"Thanx Xav, you're the best."

We lock up the house and jump into Xavier's car. It's about a fifteen minute drive to Dylan's house from mine. I shut the car door behind me as I get in.

When we arrive Xavier says he will wait for me in the car.

"Go on, I'll be here when you are ready to leave."

I nod and smile as I get out and walk to the door.

"Hey JJ?"

"Yeah?"

"Just yell if you need anything alright?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine mum."

I joke and blow him a kiss as I walk away, I can hear him laugh in the distance.

I reach the door and knock. When he doesn't answer I knock again and go in. Of course the doors open. I walk in and call out.

"Dylan? You home?"

I see a faint light on in his room and walk towards it. Yes, this may sound stalkerish, but when you have been dating for a year and a half, it's completely fine to go into his house and to his room without him knowing you are there, right?

When I reach the door at the end of the hallway I slowly open it.

"Dylan?" I said with a confused voice.

And in that moment, I wish I had never came.
