Trust me - Jaden Hossler

Chapter 42

Jaden's POV

I wake up to reality that Jess is not sleeping beside me anymore. I look around the room to find her but she isn't there. "Jess" I call out in a sleepy voice. I get up from the bed and and knock on the bathroom. "Jess?" I say. "Are you in there?" I say softly. "Yeah, I'm ok" she says, I can tell that she is crying by her heavy voice.

Jess' POV

"Jess I'm coming in, are you decent?" He questions. "No Jaden I'm fine don't-" he cuts me. "Are you decent?" He say, in a slightly angry and majority worried voice. "Yeah" the moment I say the the door opens and he finds me sitting on the bathroom floor, with his hoodie on, crying.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He says, kneeling to reach my level, bringing his hands to my face and rubbing off my tears with his thumbs. I don't answer. "Jess what's wrong" he asks again. I can't ignore him forever. "I've been getting a lot of hate, after the post on tiktok room" I say, looking away from his eyes and looking down. "I've been receiving messages saying that I'm ugly, fat, not good enough for you and that I should kill myself. In the morning, I was going thought my dm's and they kept coming in and it made me so sad, Jaden" I cry. He still doesn't say anything. "I never thought that I should let people bully me through social media but-" he cuts me "hey, hey." I look into his eyes. "You're beautiful." He says. I ignore the butterflies in my stomach. "What?" I say, my nose blocked from crying, changing my voice. "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" he says even louder, shaking my head. "But-" he cuts me by bringing his index finger to my lips. "Shh" he says, making me quite.

"People don't know you. They don't know what a blessing you are in my life. How you have changed me and made me into a better person, just so I can feel that I am good enough for YOU. Hell, Jess, I'm not good enough for you. Look at you." He looks at my body and instantly looks back into my eyes. "You are beautiful. Inside AND outside." He says. I don't know what to say. I am speechless. He just said everything I've ever wanted to hear from a guy. I don't think about it, I just connect my lips to his, taking a huge breath in. Our lips move in complete and proper sync. He brings his hand from my face to my waist and I wrap my hands around his neck and continue kissing him. He pulls away. "Wait, is this the reason you were a acting a little weird yesterday?" He asks, out of breath. "Yeah." I answer looking away from his eyes.

"I'm so sorry you've been getting hate Jess." There is something in his voice that is unfamiliar to me. Guilt? "It's not your fault baby" I say and he suddenly had a smile on his face. "Baby?" He teases me. I lightly smack his shoulder and get up from the bathroom floor. He gets up too.

"Ok get out I have to get ready" I ask him. "I'll enjoy the view let me stay" he smirks. "Ok" I smile. "Wait really?" He sounds surprised. "NO. Out" I say and he laughs and walks out of the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and take a bath. I walk out with a towel around my body and see that Jaden isn't in the room. I change into a white cut sleeve crop top and light blue high waisted jeans. I put my hair into a high pony and wear my back airforce one's.

I walk out and into the kitchen. "Good morning, everyone." I smile. "Morning Jess" Avani and Bryce say together. "Where is everyone else?" I ask. "Everyone is out at the grocery store to pick up snacks and the real stuff" Bryce winks. I laugh. "You should drink today Jess." Josh shouts, while applying peanut butter on the bread that just came out of the toaster. "Josh, I thought you were making breakfast for everyone?" I say and everyone laughs. "I am. See." He gives me a toast. I take it but I make confused face. "I woke up late. I was gonna make pancakes, I swear." He starts and everyone laughs and I join.

"Guys, I have a bad news." Anthony says. "What the grocery store was out of seaweed?" I say, biting the toast. "Was It???" Avani asks, worried. "No it wasn't. It's something else." He says. The expression in his face is serious. "What's wrong?" I question. He looks at Jaden sitting on the sofa and back at me. " Katie is coming over to party with us today" he says. HOLY SHIT.
