Trust me - Jaden Hossler

Chapter 20

Jaden's POV

I woke up and saw Jess still laying in my arms. She looks so beautiful. I sniff her hair. Pomegranate.
Suddenly I hear her phone going off.

"Hey Jess" I call out to the beautiful girl laying her head on my chest. "Someone is calling you" I tell her. She moved away from me and turned her back towards me.
"Eh Jaden pick up the call and take a message" she tells me in her sleepy voice. I smile.

I reach for the phone on the nightstand and see that it's Harry who's calling. I roll my eyes and pick up the call "hey Harry what's up?" I say trying to sound as welcoming as possible.

"Jaden? Is that you? Why are picking up Jess' phone?" He asks me.

"Um she's asleep can I take a message?" I ask him. "Why is she asleep with you?" He asks me. This bitch. "Because she is, can I take a message?" I repeat myself. And move out to the balcony as I see Jess getting disturbed by my voice.

"Woah chill man. I just wanted to ask her to go ice skate with me but I'll text her about it." He says. He wishes me bye but I cut the phone before he could complete himself. How can he ask her out again when she clearly told him that it wasn't a date? Why would he do that? Does he like her? Does she like him? There are a billion questions going on my mind right now. I punch the wall in anger.

Jess' POV
I wake up to a huge thud coming form the balcony. I run and see Jaden standing with his fists clenched. I look at one of his fists and it's bleeding.
"Jaden you're bleeding" I say him running upto him and taking his hand in mine. He roughly removes his hand from mine.

"I don't care" he says turning his back on me and looking out the balcony.

"Jaden what's wrong? who was on the phone?" I ask him.

"It was Harry asking you out again." He says scoffing and giving me a fake smile.

"Jaden I told you we're just friends. You have to calm down." I hug him from the back, wrapping my arms around his waist. I can feel him calming down in my arms. We stay like that for a minute until I let go of him and take his hand again. I feel tears coming out of my eyes when I look at his wound.

"Come here" I almost choke. I lead him to the bed room and make him sit in the bed. "Where's the first aid box?" I ask him. He points to a drawer and I walk towards it and open it to see a white first aid box kept inside. I open it to see only a few bandages, a half empt bottle of dettol(the thingy used to clean wounds idk what it's called but where I live it's dettol so) and a few cotton balls kept inside it. I sigh.

I take the box and walk upto him. I see him watching me coming over but don't bother to make eye contact. I sit on my knees and take his hand. I take out the cotton and soak it in dettol and start cleaning the wound up. I see him looking at me and I look back at him for a second but don't make eye contact. I feel like I'm going to cry when I make eye contact with him. I take out the bandage, peal it and stick it to his hand. I close the first aid kit and get back on my feet and start walking towards the drawer.

"Jess" I hear him call out my name. I tear falls down my eye and and I instantly brush it off with my hand. "Yeah, Jaden" I say after keeping the box inside the drawer and looking in his direction. "I'm sorry" he says. I can see the guilt in his eyes. I give him a smile. "It's okay, I know me going out with him was wrong and i should've at least told you about it and it made you insecure I-" he cuts me off when he sees a tear on my cheek. He walks upto me and cups my cheek and bushes the tears off using his thumbs. "Holy shit I've known you for 3 weeks and already made you cry" he says causing me to laugh. " I love that laugh" he says. "You said I had a ugly laugh" I say. "Yeah it's ugly but I love it" he smiles and takes my hands. He places a kiss on each of them. I blush. I go into the bathroom and change into my regular clothes.

"Ok I have to go now." I say picking up bag and phone. "Woah wait where are you going?" He asks me. "Target, to get a proper first aid kit and some things for the house" I say opening the door to his room. "I'm coming with you" he say following me. "No, you're not. I be here in around 40 mins to drop off the first aid kit and you have to come down and get it for me anyway. Hang out with the boys for some I'm going with the girls" I tell him walking out. "Ok, bye, cutie" he says before I walk out. I smile.
