Signa's POV

Jaden's lip releases Itself from the tight squeeze of his teeth.

He stands up and slumps his shoulders.
"I'm gonna hurt your arm If I sit on that side.." The secrecy he had in his tone was too much for my bitter mind to handle. He's acting so cautious all of a sudden.

I scoot to the side, leaving the most sparing amount of space for him on the right edge of the bed.

He finally throws himself on the mattress, as If there were no tomorrow.
The covers are pulled completely over him, making his whole figure disappear into the bed's mold. You can't tell If there's a body or not under from how puffy It is.

I sigh in my desperation to want him to sit up with me and talk, but I knew I should just leave him be. He's been here for almost two whole days. Must be at least somewhat tired.

"You're not gonna ask me anything?" He muffles through his slumber.

"Ask you..?" I tilt one of my brows, even though he couldn't see me.

He finally pushes himself up with strength in both his arms, and exposes himself from the covers.

"Yeah, aren't you curious about anything?" He looks up at me, and I look away immediately.
He looks even better from up here.

"Uh.. yeah sure, what's the weather like, Siri?" I ask, with a false tone stuck in my voice. I wanted to giggle, but I had to see his reaction first.

"Come on.." He sits up beside me with a slight smirk spread on his lips.

Why am I casually sat in bed with my brother's best friend.
Who's now.. my friend?

I do giggle at my own question.

I sure as hell don't know what I'm doing here, but I can't say It's not great, in a way.
At least now he's sat beside me. Insert butterflies to stomach.

"You don't remember what happened the night at the party, right?" He asks, with a groggy tone.

I observed his change of expressions, as his image had very faint and almost transparent bags orbiting the underside of his eyes. He's tired as hell, but I'm clueless at the same time.

What had really happened that night, was not in my system. It all got so hectic, to the point where I almost ended up dying, and I didn't even know about It until hours later.

I need to stop being so stupid and start collecting myself.

I'm pitied front and back when dumb shit like this happens. Even Camille pities me from time to time. I feel friendless when I think about It thoroughly.

I must look like a coward around everyone. I know nothing about life. I'm like a recent newborn. I know two words, and those are please and sorry.

People pity me.. right?

Jaden's actually here because he pities me, my actions, and how I am.. right?

I slowly open and close the grasp of my left hand, making the tendon gently strain Itself under my covered skin. I'm scared of what could surround me sometimes..

My hair falls in front of my face and I push It back with a spare hand.

I direct my eyes back to Jaden. He's closed his lids, and leaned his head on the bed frame.

"Jaden?" My whisper thoroughly escapes my lips.

"Ask away.." He says, eyes still shut. 

I relocate my body much more centered on the mattress, and slowly lean back on the bed frame.

I turn my head to him, and feel a fruity scent puff out of his lips.

My cheeks blush at the attempt of even trying to look at him. I turn my head to the front.

I find one of his eyes peek for a small second, before closing again.

Even If he pities me, at least he wants to listen, so I guess I'll spit my thoughts for once.

"Did I do something stupid?" I ask.
Meanwhile, I turned on the Tv, intending to distract myself.

He tilts his head to the side, opening his strained eyes to see the Tv.

"Not really.." He closes them again. It's not like nothing happened. I know he's hiding a whole testament.

I roll my eyes and stuff my lungs with air. "Please throw It all together, It's now or never."

He puffs air out again, "You cried"

Huh?

"Did I give a reason?" I look at him.

Me, crying on my birthday? That never comes out so easily, unless I happen to be alone.
I wasn't alone.. but I was drunk.

"Your brother was one of the primary reasons. Some other stupid things as well, and then me. Yeah, you heard that right.."

Caleb left. I can understand If I was upset about that, but Jaden. What does Jaden have to do with my drunken state.

"Why you?" I ask out loud. I shouldn't have. Maybe I expressed some of my feelings and It didn't go well.

"You said some shit, that didn't quite comfort the people who were.. hearing It. I got kicked in the balls as a response from someone else, and you kinda cried over It.."

God..
I went deep in stupidity this time.

"So.. I said something, which offended someone else, and they went off on you.." I rephrase his sentence, just to get my own thoughts straight.

"Yeah." He winces, and I know he's surely remembering the sequence.

I scratch my neck in a response to not knowing what to say. I mean, It wasn't me talking, just my drunken persona, so It's different, right?

"What did I say and to who, exactly?"

He bites his lip exactly the same second I finish asking. He slightly opens his eyes and stares at the Tv. I didn't pick a show, It's showing a trailer.

Jaden, you can't be a wimp now.. just say It.

"Okay, maybe you didn't say anything"

Spit. it. out.

"Then what the hell did I do?" I open up my eyes at him. I was annoyed by the playfulness he had in his soul right now. I'm planning to kick him in the balls next.

"You offended someone by doing something, with someone else." He says, completely straightforward this time.

Okay.. what the hell, is he serious?
It's annoying how he changes emotions when he feels the need to, and plays jokes every ten minutes.

"Tell me what I did" I observe him with callous eyes. If he tries one more time..

Before I could realize, his lips were pursed and brazing over mine. I felt my body shiver at the sensation. 

Why is he? I didn't even move a finger. He's onto me this time.
