Love and Truth ~ Jaeden Martell

Part 3: walking together

y/n pov

So after dinner was over we stayed and talked for a really long time while our families were talking and Jaeden's sister was constantly flirting with wyatt and you don't see me being a bitchy jealous sister about it.
so it was finally time to leave dinner and the parents kinda got sick of sitting at the restaurant. so we decided to head out. my mom knew how happy i was at the moment that i finally became friends with the boy i have liked for years so she asked his parents if they wanted to go to ice cream and jaeden's dad was about to say "no it's late" but before he could get out no jaeden hit him and they said yes.

so we walked to the ice cream place which wasn't far away and me and jaeden were a few feet behind the other families talking. "hey i feel really bad about the way wyatt is treating you tonight, i think it's really ridiculous" "yea i think so too, he's always been supporting through stuff like this and he's never usually this mean to me but i don't know" it took me a minute to see the confusion on his face. "stuff like this? can i ask what's happening?" i realized what i said and realized why i shouldn't have said what i said. "oh i didn't mean to say that" and i think he knew what i meant by that. he asked me if what i meant was me having a crush on him.

"how do you know that?" i asked him. "well multiple things..." he started off. in my head i thought oh shit here we go. "...first off it just seems like you do, laughing at jokes that aren't funny, looking at me when i'm not looking. little stuff you know? and second. i over heard a certain conversation with your brother." "oh shit you heard that?" i responded. my mom turned around and said "language y/n" "sorry" i replied. "but yea, i heard everything. it was kinda hard not to hear when y'all were yelling at eachother, but honestly i thought it was cool, the way you stood up to him. and yea i am interested but if your brother is this bothered by it maybe we shouldn't be a thing." he really said that.

i'm not gonna lie i was upset by this, i shed a tear and looked down. before i knew it more tears started falling down my cheek. he obviously knew what i was doing, he stopped walking and grabbed hand, stopping us in our tracks. leaving our families continuing to walk. he turned to me and put his finger on my chin and pulled my head up and tried to look into my eyes but i kept them looking at the ground but he still looked at me straight in the eyes. he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him till our lips almost met. he leaned into my ear and whispered "or maybe we should be a thing, and keep it on the down low" i looked up to see his eyes already looking into mine and replied, "maybe that won't be the worst idea" we had a little silence but he told me something no one has ever said to me while wiping the tears from my face.    "y/n, you don't deserve wyatt, i mean he shouldn't treat you like that and tell you who you should or shouldn't be with. your beautiful and i think if we want to be with eachother, we should get to know eachother more and do it. no matter what wyatt thinks." i wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head on his chest pulling him close to me in the middle of the sidewalk we were walking on. without hesitation he wrapped his arms around me and layed his head on top of my mine.

wyatt turned back and scoffed at us and i didn't care. i felt safe in jaeden's arms and once i was there i never wanted to leave. it was the best feeling in the world.
