Take The Risk | Jaden Hossler Story

The Party #2

I step out onto my balcony and grab a breath of fresh air. It felt so good. I sit outside for a bit and scroll through tik tok on my phone. Roughly 45 minutes past and I get a text from Jaden, asking where I was. I responded. Few minutes later, he entered my room.

Jaden: Bailey?

Bailey: I'm on the balcony. 

Jaden: You okay?

Bailey: Yeah, I'm fine. I just needed a bit of space. It was getting crazy down there. 

Jaden: Understandable. I'm glad you met some new people. You ready to meet hype house members tomorrow?

Bailey: I dunno why I said I would. I could barely do tonight. 

Jaden: You did great. You really need to stop doubting yourself. You stronger then you think you are.

Bailey: Thank you Jaden.

Jaden: of course

Bailey: hey, can I ask you something?

Jaden: Anything

Bailey: Why didn't you tell me you knew Mads?

Jaden: her and I are history and I don't like to associate myself with her. She mixed with the wrong group of girls and cheated on me. The guy posted a picture of them together and I happened to come across it.

Bailey: Oh wow, that's hectic. I'm really sorry.

Jaden: I'm sorry she was nasty to you.

Bailey: Its okay. It looks like LA is about to make me-

Before I could finish my sentence, Bryce barges into my room. Clearly drunk. He walks out where we were and started getting uncomfortably close to me. Attempting to kiss me. I try to push him off and Jaden manages to pull him off me and he falls onto the ground.

I run past the two guys and into my bathroom and lock the door. I fall to the ground and cry.

Jaden: Man, what the fuck do you think you doing? Get the fuck out of here.

Bryce: Don't fucking touch me. Get off me.

Jaden: Learn respect man. Get out of here.

Jaden: Bailey, open please. He is gone.

Bailey: I can't.

Jaden: Bailey open. We can talk about this.

I get up to open the door. I unlock it and Jaden turns the handle. He looks at me and says, "Just wait". I get back into the empty bath tub.

After a few minutes, Jaden returns with a bottle of something and two glasses.

Bailey: I'm underage

Jaden: I can see you need it. It will be our secret.

Bailey: fine...

Jaden opens the bottle and pours for us. He climbs into the bath tub and we begin to chat. It felt so good and I felt so comfortable in his presence. He was so gentle and everything my aunt said about it was so true.

Jaden: Are you okay? Did he hurt you?

Bailey: No, I'm fine. It just triggered something I'm trying to forget.

Jaden: Would you like to talk about it?

Bailey: I was molested by my uncle.

Jaden: What?!

Bailey: Yeah. I was 15. He was looking after me because my parents were working.

Jaden: Is he...? Leah...

Bailey: Nooo...Aunt Leah has never been married or in a relationship.

Jaden: Bailey. I'm so sorry. You don't deserve to go through all of this. I've observed you since you arrived and I quickly knew you had been through trauma with your gestures.

Bailey: What do you mean?

Jaden: you play with your fingers alot and you get nervous when so much is happening around you. As well as the incident that just happened, you reacted differently.

Bailey: omg, you really observe everything.

Jaden: I do haha but don't worry. I'm here if you ever need to talk.

Bailey: Thank you so much for everything Jaden.

We continued to talk through the night, the music downstairs began to lower and I heard people started to leave.

Around 4am, Jaden and I got up and we hid the bottle. We walked out the bathroom and Jaden left to his own room.

I removed my make up and got ready for bed. I felt good and comfortable. I knew Jaden was a good person.
