Lily's POV

Obviously, Payton eventually had to leave. I saved our progress on Minecraft, on which I'd spent most of my time making a super cute house with secret rooms and everything (Obviously having to look up a few tutorials) and Payton had actually went mining and stuff.

After saving our world, which we'd named #Layton, I went downstairs to see Payton out. I hugged him tightly as we said our goodbyes, and I made him promise to message me when he was home so I knew he was safe before he finally left.

It was about five PM, and I'd barely left my room since Payton came over (bar grabbing us a drink every so often) so I had no idea where the guys had actually went. My guess was in their rooms.

Payton and I had done a fair bit of talking, a lot about the Jaden situation, and I'd decided it was best to talk to him... and probably apologise for overreacting a little.

So, I made my way to Jaden's room, knocking on the door and waiting for him to say I was cool to come in. It didn't take him long to reply, telling me to come in, which I did.
He was stood in his room with just a towel wrapped around his waist, probably not expecting it to be me at his door. The sight made my eyes widen and cheeks flush practically instantly, so I quickly turned around as to not face him.
"Sorry, I didn't think it was you-"
"Yeah, no, it's fine. Just get dressed so we can talk... please?" I nervously asked, to which he replied "Uh, okay, gimme a sec."

So, I stood facing the wall for a short while, though it felt like forever as I nervously fiddled with my thumbs.

Once he told me he was dressed I turned around, though couldn't actually bring myself to look at him.
"I-"
"L-"
We both tried speaking at the same time, making us both laugh a little despite our moods.
"May I go first?" I politely asked, and he nodded, replying with a "Sure."
"Look, I might have overreacted a bit and I'm sorry for that... but, like, seriously if you are just using me to get Mads back then tell me, I can't fault you for being honest. I'm your friend and I want you to be happy, so if you're happy with Mads then cool I'll help you get her back, but just be honest with me about it... y'know? So I can act accordingly."
I went from being kinda confident to nervous as heck in a few seconds. It was a record.

Jaden rolled his eyes, signalling I'd obviously annoyed him.
"I'm not just using you, Lil. If I had some master plan you'd be the first to know, I swear. Yeah, I told Bryce to post the photo, but that was only because I genuinely thought it was cute. I don't care what anyone else has to say about it, I don't care if it gets back to Mads or if it doesn't, the only thing I should have cared about was maybe the getting you involved in drama thing but you never used to care about that kind of stuff so I didn't think anything of it." Explained Jaden, his tone coming across as frustrated and offended more than anything else, and he had all right to be both. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions the way I did.

I looked down at the floor as if it was the most interesting thing ever.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't wanna be involved in shit with your ex and stuff, cause like people loved you guys, y'know? Like, any other drama, sure I'll be part of it, by your side through it all, but I don't wanna be accused of being the reason you guys broke up. It'll make you look bad and it'll make me look bad- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted how I did, I should've just spoke to you about it properly like we are now instead of being all moody." I explained, sincerely apologising, finally looking up from the floor to meet his gaze, which was softer than it was before, his lips tugging upwards slightly as he playfully rolled his eyes.
"Just don't do that to me again, please?"
"I won't. I pinky promise I won't. In future if I have a problem I'll talk to you like a normal person instead of storming off." I told him, extending my pinky to him, which he smiled as he intertwined with his own before pulling me into a tight hug, which I obviously accepted.
"So... do you maybe wanna order some pizza and watch Netflix?" I wondered in a baby-like voice which apparently made him chuckle slightly.
"Sure. I'll go order the pizza, you pick what we watch."
