Three Shots || Jaden Hossler

13. Fight

Rye's Point of View

I'm disappointed by his reaction when he saw me. He could at least act like a decent person and try to be nice, but he didn't. He stood there looking at me not interested of what I could possibly be doing here. I wanted to be right about coming here and fixing whatever happened between Jaden and I that made him become so distant with me. I wish he saw how badly I want him.

"I- I came to see you, Jaden." I say.

"For what?" He asks.

"Because you didn't answer and I got worried about you... Is that bad?"

"I don't have to answer you all the time, we aren't dating." Here we go again with the whole we're just friends talk. Does he think I'm not capable to understand we're friends? I know we are, but I'm trying to be more than that you idiot!

"Look, you're going through some shit and I'm busy with school-"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I cut him off. That was plain rude of him.

"What?"

"Because I'm going through some shit?" I mock the tone of his voice.

"I didn't mean it like that..."

"But you did though."

"I'm sorry, can we just talk some other time? I really have to go." Jaden says. Behind him I saw Olivia slowing walking to where we were standing, wearing just an over sized shirt of Jaden's.

I see what's going on... I'm such a fool.

I left without saying another word. I already look stupid enough by coming here in the first place. I should've listened to Griffin, now I'm embarrassed to even go back to the house. I'm an emotional wreck because of my mother and I'm letting my feelings get the best of me. I will never hear the end of this from Olivia.

I'm so upset by this. I don't know why on earth I decided that liking Jaden was a good idea. I knew he was like this since the night at that stupid party. He's been messing with my head over and over, and I just let him! How stupid am I?

Bassett: Hey, how are you feeling?

Me: good, thanks

Bassett: Maybe we can meet up later? I can go to your house or pick you up.

Me: ill let you know cuz idk if the
boys have anything planned

Joshua is just too good. I mean, look at his grammar! He's perfect even on text messages. I'm ridiculous for going after Jaden when I have Joshua head over hills for me... or at least that's what I think.

"You look horrible." Bryce says when he saw me opening the door to my room. He's so nice. "Were you crying?" Jazz asks. I didn't even realize they were home.

"Thanks Bryce and no, I wasn't." I lied shutting the door after going into my room.

Of course I'm crying. As a matter of fact, I'm crying on my bed into my pillow. Everything feels wrong, nothing makes sense. The one thing I wanted to go right just blew up in my face and I feel so stupid. I spent all this time complaining about Olivia humiliating me just to go ahead and do it to myself. These last four days have been hell for me, not to mention a month ago being attacked by my neighbor. When did my life become full of situations I have no control of? I'd feel less shit if I brought this on my self, only the Jaden issues could be my fault, but the rest? I didn't kill my mother or ask that man to beat me.
