Bent - Jaden Hossler

11.

Jaden had been really busy in the studio for a while and Alice got used to living with cats. 

She considered herself very lucky that the three were so relaxed and that she could let them on the balcony without being scared that one of them would just jump off at some point. 

Pebbles sometimes gets overexcited and gets himself in situations he couldn't get out of himself but Peaches and Mittens helped him. 

They adapted well and quickly got used to the new environment. 

There were multiple surfaces where they could sleep but when Jaden wasn't there, they slept with Alice in her bed. 

The pale girl didn't have the heart to tell them off so she cuddled with them which made her feel a lot better when she was sad. 

The cats also seemed to realize when you're sad, whenever Alice cried she suddenly had all three of them in her lap. 

It was similar when Kio had stood in front of her door, with tears streaming down his cheeks. 

He had texted Alice earlier that he would come over and if she was okay with it, which she always was. 

Kio fell into Alice's arms crying. 

The girl stumbled a little but caught herself and him. 

She pulled him to her bed were Alice laid down and Kio used her stomach as a pillow while Peaches curled up in his side and Mittens relaxed under Alice's arm. 

"They say that I cheated on Olivia. I didn't." 

"Do you want to talk about what happened in general?" 

Kio called Pebbles over to them, scared that he might feel left out. 

"It came a little out of the blue. She asked me if we could talk and we decided that it was a case of right person wrong time." 

"How do you feel about that?" 

"I feel like its bullshit." 

"Why?" 

"Everything was going great, not one of us had struggles with anything. Many people are saying that, that she used me." 

Before Alice could even say anything, Kio was quick to defend his ex. "Olivia wouldn't do that. She is so kind and caring." 

Alice was very unsure. She had never met Olivia but Kio had been so in love that he had always told her about 'Livi'.

Alice did a little digging and looked at their lives and posts and while Kio seemed utterly in Love, Olivia seemed very self-centered. 

She was a aspiring model, looking for companies and needed a platform, it made sense why she would date Kio. 

"I don't understand it. At first I am the victim, which I am not, then I cheated on her, which I didn't. What will it be tomorrow?" 

"I don't know that Kio. What do you think was the reason?" 

"Like she said, right person wrong time." 

"Can I speak my mind? Without you getting mad at me?" 

petting two cats at the same time he nodded, not fully there. 

"I personally think that she used you. She needed the followers for her career and you were loving and accepted her affection. Josh and Nessa said the exact same thing when they broke up, but with them I believe it. Josh wasn't in the best place at the moment and neither was Nessa. Olivia needed a reason to break ties with you, and that seemed like a good way to put it. She gained like three million followers because of you." 

"I don't know. You also got followers because of Jaden." 

"Yeah, but I didn't want them, it just happened. Jaden is so incredible and important in my life and I love our relationship. I didn't say that I know that that was Olivia's plan, it's just what I think could have happened." 

"I think that when you and Jaden break up, the internet will be shattered." 

"Why?" 

"Because you guys are so cute together and you make each other better. People believe in love again when they see you." 

Alice was smiling like an idiot and got up from her bed, having shoved Kio off of her stomach. 

"Do you want to order food with me?" 

"Chinese?" 

"Sure. Here is the card of this place." 

They ordered their food and were waiting on the balcony for it to arrive. 

Each of them had a cat in their lap while peaches, the third, was laying on the table between them. 

"I'm sorry Alice. Sorry, that I unloaded all that shit on you." 

"Never say sorry. Not around me. You have nothing to be sorry about. I am always here for you. She might left, but I wont. Even if Jay and I break up, let's just pray we don't, I'll still be here for you." 

"I love you, Allie." 

"And I love you Kio." 

At some point of the evening the rest of the sway-boys, including Noah and Blake, decided that they would do a sleepover at Alice's place, so the small apartment was very crowded. 

Alice liked having them there. It gave her a reason to cook (even though Kio and Allie had just ordered Chinese), and a reason to lie in bed with them to cuddle. 

Quinton told them how it was going with Cynthia and how he didn't understand her in some situations. 

Anthony, Griffin and Bryce where talking about how it was going for them and Kio and Josh were explaining what really happened because Alice knew Kio's story but not Josh's and for the boys, it was the other way around. 

The cats were playing with Buddy, who they had brought along. 

Jaden and Alice had introduced them to each other earlier in the week and it went really well. 

They talked a little about their content and congratulated Alice for her brand-deal with Fashion-Nova. 

Josh proposed to film the video about period's or questions for girls on the next day, while everybody was there.
