I slipped through the front door of the janoskian household and closed it behind me. I was still shaking, my skin was still burning. I needed Jai.
"Jai?" I called out, making my way to the living room. I peered through the door way. Empty.
I made my way around the house, looking in every room I passed until I got to Jai's room.
The door was open slightly and the lights were on dimly, so I entered the room cautiously.
"Hey, Jai I-" I stopped mid sentence as I looked up.
Jai and Ariana were both sucking eachothers faces off, shirtless.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" I mumbled, looking away.
"what the fuck AJ?! Don't you know how to knock?!" Jai yelled, handing Ariana her shirt before climbing off of her. He made his way out of the room, pulling me with him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barge in. I just needed to talk to you" I mumbled.
"What could be so important that you just barge in on me and Ariana?!?" his voice was loud.
"I'm sorry, I just..I..I had another moment" I said, my voice timid and small. Just as it was the first time I had met Jai. Only, now I'm scared.
"Well, youre going to have to deal with it on your own. Youre not a Fucking child." Jai spat.
I felt tears sting my eyes.
"Well, you're supposed to be my best friend. You promised me that no matter what, no matter what Fucking time, where we Fucking are, who we're with or what it's about, you'd be there. You'd help me" my voice gradually increased in volume, shaking slightly.
"Not now I can't! It's about time you learned to deal with your problems instead to being a child about things!! You're so naive and childish!! Grow the fuck up!"
"You tell me to stop acting like a child, that Im too naive but what if I need a Fucking father? Or a mother? Or some sort of Fucking support? What if I actually need the family I was deprived of? What if I need the love and care that I never had?" I screamed. Tears rolling down my face.
I laughed bitterly.
"you know what?? Fuck you! I was an idiot to ever belive you cared. You go back to your Fucking puppet master..because that's what she is,Jai! I know she tells you I'm too clingy, that Im not worth the time of day! I know she feeds you all this negativity, makes you hate me more and more. She's controlling you but you're so 'in love' that you can't Fucking see it. She's playing you off against everyone. Shes laughing at you as you bend over backwards for her. She. Doesn't. Love. You. You're not the only boy she's screwing, I hope you know that. But what would I know, I'm nothing but a child." my voice went back to a normal volume as I spoke.the last sentence.
I had a sad smile on my face as the tears begin to fall.
That smile faded.
"just know that when she breaks your heart, I won't say 'i told you so'...I'm your best friend... I'm here to care for you, not patronise you."
I then turned away and walked. I Walked out of the door just as the boys were walking in.
"Why are you crying!!!??" Luke panicked as he engulfed me, followed suit by the other boys. Once the pulled away, I looked back to see Jai, with Ariana clinging to his side.
"Nothing, I'm just being childish" I said softly, before turning towards the boys and giving them a small smile.
"I'll see you tomorrow" I gave them each a hug and headed out the front door, ignoring the calls from Luke, Beau, Skip and James as I went.
I walked down the road, holding back the tears. My chest was stinging, my throat burning.
I couldn't do it anymore.
I got to the end of the road, and then I broke down. Shaking and crying.
The one person I thought I could rely on, who I'd thought would be there, had decided I wasn't worth it.
I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around my frame, picking me up and cradling my close.
The scent I knew instantly as Luke.
"It's okay, Titch. It's okay" he cooed, "I'm going to take you home and we're going to talk about it, if you want"
I just cried, clinging onto his shirt.

~*Luke*~
AJ lay in her bed, staring blankly at the wall. I lay beside her, stroking her long hair gently.
I need her to tell me what happened.
"you ready to talk yet?" I asked softly, continuing to play with AJ's hair.
AJ rolled over and sighed.
"i-i just thought he cared. I really did" she sat up and brought her knees up to her chest.
"he does AJ, I promise. But she's got him brainwashed. Ariana has made him belive that everyone but her is out to get him, when really its the complete opposite. I promise he cares. I'm still going to rip him to shreds...he made you cry. That's never okay. Ever." AJ chuckled and looked at me, wiping her eyes.
"you're are great person Luke, you, and the boys, are like the brothers I never had."
I smiled, "and you're the sister I never had. Beau feels the same. James and skip love the bones of you aswell."
"I love you boys alot, I hope you know that. You've helped me become who I've dreamed of being. I couldn't never thank you enough for that." AJ sniffed.
I brought her close to me, wrapping my arms around her protectively and kissed her head lightly.
"you've helped us aswell. Now get some sleep, we'll talk to Jai tomorrow."
AJ nodded lightly before mumbling a quick 'night' and drifting off to sleep. Me following suit.
