By The Way I'm Not Sure (Jai Waetford Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2 - Missing

"GEMMA!" I hear my mother call. I run downstairs and see her crying.

"Where's Kayla? It's 7:00 and she's not home yet!" She almost yells. I run outside and down the street. Somehow, I believed she'd be at the place I was promising to take her to for almost a year now. The hidden park. Instead as I walk through the gently parted branches I find a boy sitting on the swing, a familiar boy I used to cuddle up to when I was sad or watching a scary movie, the boy I used to trust. The one I thought I hated, the one I thought I loved, but now? I'm really not sure. I walk up slowly and sit on the swing next to him.

"Did she dump you?" I ask.

"Yeah. I was hoping you'd be here," He says.

"Kayla's missing," I announce. He looks over at me with worry.

"I'll keep a look out," He says and walks away.

"Jai," I say, he turns around and I walk up to him. My heart started pounding as I walked closer to him. I loved him, I actually loved him once.

"Why'd you kiss her?" I ask, it was the question I was meaning to ask for a while now.

"She kissed me first,"

"You kissed back," I say, calmly, but slowly loosing it. With that, he walked away. I walk slowly back to my place, hoping Kayla was messing with us. It was starting to get darker, with daylight savings and all. I get home and just as I open the door Jai calls my name. I turn around and find him with a crying Kayla.

"Kayla!" I say and run up to her. I hug her, but she pushes me away, before running into the house. My eyes begin to get teary and Jai pulls me into a hug. I unfortunately hug him back. I just stand there, hugging him and trying to push away how much I missed his hugs and his smell and his kiss and the way he kissed her and the way I felt. I push him away, remembering what he did to me. He looked into my eyes, he looked kind of sad and says nothing.

"Thank you for bringing back Kayla." I mumble and walk into the house. I missed him... a lot. I just wanted to burry my face in his shoulder forever, it probably sounds cheesy, but I just want... him. Instead, I intwine myself in my bed and fall to sleep. Kayla was safe and as much as I hated her right now, I'm glad nothing bad happened to her. Jai texted me,

"I'm sorry," I simply ignored him. Trying to get across the fact that I don't want him in my life anymore, honestly I don't.

I lay on my bed, Wednesday. So, I had maths first. Jai's in that class, great. I put on my uniform and run down the ten stairs I had counted when I was three and believed I was terrific, I was actually terrifying at that age. I have breakfast. Awkwardly sitting across from my sister; she didn't eat. Mum wasn't making her go to school today and I was happy about that.

I lethargically walk to school, I'm tired of everything. Unfortunately, I have to walk past Jai's house and he comes running up to me.

"Hey, Gemma!" He says as he walks beside me.

"Hi," I mumble. We walk a few minutes in silence amd it was awkward.

"I'm sorry," He states again.

"Honestly, Jai. I'm never going to forgive you and I hate you right now, actually I'm quite unsure. I don't want you in my life and you're not welcome to terrorise it," I say and he looks over at me.

"Can we at least be friends?" He asks.

"Maybe," We get to school and as-per-usual the bell rings as we walk through the gates. We get to maths together and as our first class of the year, everyone stares at Jai and I as we arrive. They knew, everyone knew and I hated it that way. Jai had been clear he had a new girlfriend and now everyone thought Jai kissed me and Jennifer caught us and dumped him.

"Did Jennifer catch you kissing Gemma?" Sophie Redgard asks. She has very light blonde hair - you could say white -, blue eyes and she is known as the popular stereotyped bitch. Absolutely everyone (except for the mature grade 10 girls) worship her otherwise they get a good public humiliation. Most girls, on school trips or the very rare grade camp, have been pranked. One time I remember Heidi, one of the not-so-popular girls, went for a shower on a grade camp, Sophie and her friends took her clothes from the shower room as well as her barbie doll towel and hung them on the flag pole. After her shower, Heidi found herself having to cover herself up with only her shoes, Heidi learnt her lesson after running 200 meters back to her room and then finding out the next morning that all of our grade had saw how childish she is, as well as the colour of her underwear. So, now no one goes against Sophie.

Math's was boring and art was okay. At least I didn't have Jai in the rest of my classes.

After school I try to doge the stares and Jai, which in the end does not work. Jai walks home with me and after he is gone I was relieved. He really annoys the hell out of me. I get home and Kayla is still in her room.

"Has she been in her room all day?" I ask my mother and she nods, sadly and I run up to Kayla's room and open the door.

"Kayla?" I ask and she ignores me.

"Kayla. I'm sorry about yesterday, but this is seriously unhealthy. You can't lock yourself in your room just because I yelled at you and you ran away. It's your fault and if you don't want the diabetes to kill you, you need to eat something!" I say and she turns towards me. Her face was covered in tears and underneath her eyes are grey bags from exhaustion.

"Kayla. Listen to me. You need sleep and have something to eat," I say once more before fetching mum. She called the hospital and Kayla was kept in overnight. They fed her like she was disabled with a tube in her mouth and gave her a sleeping pill after it. I felt extremely sorry for her, but we had to do something to help her, otherwise she'd die. It's unusual for a girl Gemma's age to suffer from diabetes, but it was the orphanages fault. I couldn't sleep that night as the seats in the hospital were extremely uncomfortable. I didn't go to school the next day and found myself suffering from exhaustion and annoyance over the world. Life sucks right now...
