Promises🤞🏻 [Jaegan]

|Chapter 9|

JUSTINS POV:

i didn't talk to anyone that night. no text from jayden. didn't hear from raegan. and anthony left me alone the rest of the night.

now it's saturday morning and i just woke up. i'm sitting on my bed, staring off into space. why did i do that? why did he do it? how did we let that happen? neither of us stopped until some sense got knocked into me. how could i? how could raegan?

*knock knock*

"come in." i say and my door opens to reveal anthony. he comes in slowly and shuts my door. he walks over to my bed and i start to get nervous.

"what happened between you and raegan?" he asks, quietly and calmly. shit does he know something?

"why do you think something happened?" i ask trying to be as normal as humanly possibly.

"he won't talk to me, ever since last night. justin what happened?" he asks a little more demanding this time. i shake my head, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"nothing. we just talked." i tell him and grab my phone from my nightstand. jayden texted me.

jayden❤️: can we talk? we need to solve this.

me: yeah, where?

jayden❤️: my house.

me: be there in a half hour.

jayden❤️: okay.

"i need to get ready to meet jayden." i say to ant and get up, off my bed. i quickly get ready and ant just walks out of my room. i cant tell him while raegan's not here. we need to tell him, but not just one of us.

i walk downstairs getting ready to leave and see anthony on the couch. he looks at me and says nothing.

"i'll be back soon." i tell him and he nods, looking back at the television. as i walk outside and shut the front door, i see raegan getting out of his car.

"hey.." i hear him say. i go up to him slowly.

"what are you doing here?" i ask, trying to hide the faint blush on my face. why does that happen every time?!

"i wanted to see ant." he says quietly and shrugs.

"you weren't going to tell him right? not while i'm not there?" i ask and he sighs, losing eye contact with me.

"i don't think we should tell him at all." my eyes widen at what he just said.

"what? how could we not?" i ask, very confused. that doesn't make sense.

"it was just once, he doesn't need to know." raegan explains and tries to walk away but i grab his arm lightly. he stops and takes a moment before looking back at me.

"we cheated, raegan." i saw lowly and he looks down at my hand quickly holding his arm.

"so that means you're going to tell jayden too?" he asks and my eyes open wide. shit, i didn't even think about telling him.

"um..i didn't plan on it." i say and he jerks his arm away from me.

"oh so we need to tell anthony and risk him breaking up with me but we don't have to tell jayden so you two can be as happy as ever huh?" he asks annoying as hell, i can tell.

"no i just thought of telling anthony first since i'm also his best friend." i say getting quieter the closer i finish talking. we just look at each other not saying anything. i can look into his eyes forever.

"if we tell ant, we are also telling jayden. it's only fair." he says and i nod, understanding.

"fine." i say. i wish i could take that kiss back, but at the same time i'm glad it happened..

"where are you going?" he asks me and i gulp.

"jayden's, he wants to um, fix things." i say a little awkwardly. rae shakes his head and just walks away, going up the stairs.

"wait-" i say and he turns around quickly, and i see some hope in his eyes, but at the same time annoyance.

i go up to him and wrap my arms around his neck, digging my head into his chest. he leans down a little so i don't have to be on my toes reaching up to hug him. he wraps his arms around my waist.

he's probably thinking, why would i want to fix things with jayden if i'm going to just tell him i cheated soon anyway? can i be honest, i have no clue why. i wish i didn't need to tell them, but i cant keep it from ant and jayden.

we let go of the hug and i just walk down the stairs, turning around before i get into my car and he's looking at me. i give him a slight smile and he does the same, walking into the house. i get in my car and take a deep breath.

when i arrive to jayden's house, i walk up the stairs and knock on his door. he answers and when he sees me, he pulls me in gently. the first thing he does is engulfs me in a hug. i am taken back a second before i realize he's actually hugging me. i hug back, feeling better at being so close to him.

"i'm sorry." i hear him mumble. of course he apologies after i kiss raegan! shit.

"it's-"

"no." he says, pulling away from me and i see his eyes fill with heavy tears.

"it's not okay, it's not even close to okay. i've been acting so stupid and i'm so sorry. i cant take away your friendships." he says and leans in to kiss me. our lips connect gently, and i realize how much i've missed kissing him.

"will you always love me?" i ask quietly and he stares into my eyes.

"yes." he nods his head slightly. i kiss him again and then wrap my arms around his body.

"i love you."

"i love you too." he answers and takes my hand into his. "let's go watch a movie." i nod, agreeing.

i could never date raegan, even if i wanted to. he's dating my best friend and after what we tell him, i hope he will give him another chance to stay loyal. i know raegan didn't want that, so that's another reason that i could never be with him. I could never do that to my best friend. anthony gives me the world and for me to kiss his horrible, i feel terrible. i feel horrible for treating jayden like this too. why did it happen?!

i'm not dead, almost, but no thankfully :)
sorry i've been slow, school is a little stressful
