Just Jade

Chapter 17, Trouble In Paradise

Jade~

"Get out of my room! " Robyn demanded.

" But why," I asked.

"JUST GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY DAMN ROOM! " she scoffed, throwing her dairy at me.

After it rebounded from my head, I grab it, but the look she gave me made me pass it back to her. She then tossed it across her room," I can... I can explain... "

" GO! " she interjected, shoving me out of her room, slamming the door with me on the outside. I let my body slide on the door as I sink to the floor. I sit in awkward silence outside her bedroom door. Awkwardly, wondering what did I say wrong. Why is she upset? I don't understand. Behind the door is all the answers, but behind that door is a fire breathing dragon. I don't want a fiery conversation. My head rested on the door between us. I felt something hit my head. It was Robyn also resting her head on the other side, silently sobbing,

I definitely hear sobs, "are you, okay princess?" I whispered.

"no," she wailed," I told you to leave. Why are you still here?"

" You only told me to get out of your room," I explained.

"I know," she acknowledged.

I thought for a moment, a smirk across my face, " is this the moment where the girl tells the guy that he must leave her alone-"

"Yeah," she interjected.

"...when she really wants him to stay," I paused.

"no," she mumbled, banging her head against the door, " I'd like to be left alone."

"... and so he leaves instead of consoling her, making up by kissing her. You know after a steamy argument comes-"

" argh, you read too many books. That shit never happens in reality, " Robyn dryly said.

" ahhhh, I was really expecting some steamy make-out session, " I teased.

Robyn snorts.

" let me guess, I'm an idiot, right?" I joked.

"yes, you are certainly the dumbest idiot ever," she giggled through her tears.

"I'm also the most hilarious idiot that you stuck with," I state.

"Is this what BFF means? Oh god, why can't you just take him already?" she prayed, stomping her foot.

"Because he's too annoying, I'd send his ass back anyway," I joked.

"hmmm, there's hell, I'm sure the devil wants him." she quipped as giggles filled the air.

" I'm sorry, I don't want that maniac anywhere near me again, " I said in a devilish voice, "that, that guy there is the real demon!"

" guess I'm stuck with him then, " Robyn laughed, opening the door for me pulling me into a hug so rough that we tripped and fell on the floor.

"aww, steamy make out?" I teased as I moved a stray hair from her eyes.

"you've got a girlfriend," she said dryly, getting up and moving to her chair.

I sat on the floor, crossed legs, "It was forced," I admit.

Robyn held back a laugh, " so you're telling me that she raped you," she then gasped, "you poor thing."

"yes," I muttered, "- wait, no, that's not what I meant," my face burned sinfully red.

Robyn then joined me on the floor as I explained everything from the time I met Felicia to when she left Dean's house. Robyn kept commenting and teasing through my storytelling. Making me wonder why did she get upset. " yeah, that's everything. Why did you get upset earlier on, " I questioned.

"Hmm, no reason, " she muttered, biting her lip again.

"is it a girl thing? "

" Gosh no, I'm not-" Robyn retorted, face flushed, "why do guys always assume that we on our periods when we get angry? "

"well, you don't give us a reason, so what you'd expect us to do," I explained.

"true, but still-"

" I wonder how your boyfriend deals with you, "I teased. For a moment, her smile disappeared, then she gave me a half-smile. She turns away from me. I can see there's something she's trying to hide. I wonder what's on her mind. I reach for her face, but she pulls away, "something happened between the two of you?" I stated more than asked.

"we, we brok..." she starts to tremble, "... he broke up with me."

" I swear. I'm not a crybaby," Robyn added as she hid her face.

"he did what! "

"He broke up with me. Here's the girl he's proudly boasting with, his upgrade." she croaked on the word upgrade. She brings her phone out and tosses it to me.

On the phone is a picture. Alex was lying next to a ratchet looking girl. I snort, "her? "

"yes, her!"

"You can't be serious. He calls this an upgrade. Robyn, that's a degrade. She's not even nice... She's ugly," I laughed.

" You think she's that bad?" Robyn giggled.

" Trust me. You are way more beautiful than that, " I cheered, "not that I'm flirting or anything."

A loud laugh escaped Robyn's mouth, "he-he, I feel way better, thanks to Jade, " she murmured, "that's why I love- "
Robyn bites her tongue for a brief moment. "-speaking to you, " she continued. Before I can comment on the pause, I heard bells ringing loudly. It's Robyn's phone. I toss it back before catching a glimpse of the caller ID, Monica.

I waited patiently for hours as the two girls rambled on the phone. I was bored, so I poked my ears into their conversation. First, they were talking about the whole funeral thing. Then I heard Robyn mention that I was here, making me act obnoxious. After that, it was about relationships and Dean. When I heard Dean's name, my ears grew three times their size.

"Jade, Listen, I'm heading to meet up with Monica. You go speak to your best friend, " Robyn ordered.

" why, what's wrong? " I urged.

" Just go and find out from him! "
