Love Hurts

Chapter 13

- Christina's POV -

"What do you two think you're doing?" I asked, as Rachel slightly pushed me towards the couch.

"We told you. Sibling Intervention." Mikey said.

"For what?" I asked.

"The whole situation you've got going on now is not good." Rachel said.

"What are you talking about?"

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Jordan and Matt. What else would I be talking about?"

"That's over. I'm done with Jordan."

"That's the first mistake, Christina. You chose the wrong guy." Rachel said.

"That's not your decision to make." I snapped.

"You need to stop trying to convince yourself that Matt is the one for you. He's not and the sooner you realize that, the better it is for everyone involved." Rachel said.

"Everyone knew that leaving Jordan was one of the biggest mistakes you ever made." Mikey said.

"So, everyone thought I was making a mistake by leaving Jordan and nobody said a word?" I asked.

"It's not like anything we said would of made a difference." Rachel said.

"You're right, and it's not going to now." I said, before storming out the room.

I marched outside where I sat down by the pool. It wasn't long before Rachel and Mikey came out after me.

"We had a feeling you wouldn't listen to anything we had to say so it's time for plan B." Rachel said.

"Plan B?" I asked.

Rachel looked at Mikey and nodded as he did the same. Before I could even blink both of them grabbed my arms and started to drag me back into the house. They then managed to drag me all the way through the house and out the front door into Rachel's car. Even though I didn't put up much of a fight, they were both really strong. It surprised me actually.

I huffed and leaned back in my seat as Rachel began to drive.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see." Mikey said.

The longer we drove around for the quicker I realized where we were heading.

Jordan's house.

As we pulled into his drive way I was surprised to see my mom's car parked out front.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"This is our plan B." Mikey shrugged.

"Why is mom here?" I asked.

"You'll have to go inside to find out." He replied.

I got out the car and began to walk towards the front door with Rachel and Mikey following closely behind me- probably in case I tried to make a run for it.

Before I could even knock on the front door, my mom opened it. She stood to the side and gestured for me to come in as I looked at her oddly. As I passed my mother she stepped outside with Rachel and Mikey before shutting the door behind her. By this stage, I was even more confused than I was ten minutes ago in the car. I walked hesitantly through the house before finding Jordan sitting in the living room.

"You're here?" He asked.

"It's not like I had a choice." I replied coldly.

"It was their idea not mine." He said, very defensively.

"Don't act like you were against the idea, Jordan."

"I'm not going to act like I was against it because I'm not. I want you here so I can talk to you. Explain why I did what I did the other night."

"You don't need to explain. I know exactly why you did it."

"Enlighten me." He said.

"You did it because you can't stand the thought of me being happy with someone else. What you did was the most selfish thing I have ever seen anyone do. You want me to yourself, Jordan, but that's not going to happen. I'm with Matt now and what you did the other night made my choice clearer for me." He looked down, avoiding eye contact before I spoke again, "But despite all you've done, I still love you. I don't know how and I don't know why, but I do. I love you. Always have, always will."

I didn't even give him a chance to respond, I just slowly walked over to him and placed my hand on his cheek. "I love you but I can't be with you. I've said that before, Jordan, but I just need you to know exactly how I feel and that I mean every single word that is leaving my mouth."

He nodded slowly before I slowly leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you." I whispered once more. I felt like the more I said it, the more he would know how much I meant it.

I slowly turned around and walked back out the house, tears forming in my eyes. I didn't say a word as I walked past my mom, Rachel and Mikey. I just went straight past them and sat in the car. I sat and wondered if anything I had just done actually made sense to Jordan. I loved Jordan a lot but I felt as though I would be risking to much to be with him.

I'd risked a lot in the past to be with Jordan and I was beginning to feel like I couldn't risk anything else or I'd lose it all.

A/N: As I told you guys before I will be posting small snippets from my upcoming book, Bad. Here is a quote from the first chapter.

"Surely they don't believe all this crap about 'the perfect, all-American, Teen Queens'. I mean, as if they believe Britney is actually a virgin. Saving herself for marriage my ass."
