Jayden: midnight: October 8
I sort through my clothes, checking the time for the sixth time. Emma and Paige should be back already. I fiddle with the straps on the suitcase for a bit before deciding to head to the roof with my bong and bottle of beer. I sit on the little bench someone had conveniently placed there and light up. I take a deep breath in and exhale, coughing a bit.
"Jayden! What the hell are you doing?" I whip around, Emma was coming towards me.
"It's not what it looks like."
"Oh really? So you weren't going to get high and drunk on top of the roof?" I sigh and set the bong down, putting my fingers on my temples and applying the least amount of pressure possible. "What's wrong, J?" I shake my head, refusing to answer her question.
Emma comes and sits on my lap, looking me in the eye. "Talk, or I'll get John."
"I'm not scared of John."
"Paige?"
"Nope."
"Colby?"
"Seriously? No."
"Leati?"
"Nope."
"Jonathan Good." I look at her.
"I'm not afraid of Jonathan." I nervously chuckle.
"You are too!"
"Am not!"
"Am not what?" I whip around, Jon was making his way towards us. "What's with the bong and beer? I mean, I'll join you with the beer but weed isn't my thing."
"Something's bothering Jayden so instead of telling one of us, she decided to come to the rooftop and get high and drunk."
"Thanks, Emma." I growl. She gives me a smile and hops off my lap, skipping away. Jon scoots closer to me and pulls me on his lap.
"I'm your best friend, what's wrong?"
"Don't worry. I don't want to put an extra weight on your shoulders."
"It's too late for that, sweetheart. I'm worried sick about you, you haven't been acting like yourself. You snapped at Michelle and Colby. Tell me, what's wrong?"
"I...i cant. You'll think I'm a freak."
"You're not pregnant, are you?"
"No!" He sighs in relief and holds me closer. I lean my head on his chest, soaking in his warmth.
"Please?"
"I...I relapsed."
