Love Is A Lie - A Tik Tok Love Story (Discontinued for now)

Jads Part 1 (Jaden's POV)

Mads hangs up on me. I sigh and put my head against the wall. What is wrong with me? Why am I so scared? I know I like her, why can't I just date her? I shake my head. Our relationship is almost as confusing as Addison's and Bryce's. Well it was, and now it's all gone. I hold in the tears and let it out in a single groan. The boys were supposed to meet to just talk at Bryce's and I don't want to look like a crybaby. I take a quick shower and get dressed. I walk over to his house and knock on the door.
"Who's there?" I hear Josh call.
"Me. Jaden," I say. I can hear footsteps coming towards the door.
"Dude, what's wrong. You sound dead," Bryce says as he opens up his door.
"I almost didn't recognize your voice," Anthony says.
"I'll tell you later," I say as I walk in the door and head to the living room. Noah and Chase are sitting on the sofa, discussing who knows what. It surprises me that Josh is fine that Chase is here, taken that he cheated on Charli with Nessa. It surprises me even more that Bryce isn't beating him up. Things must be really bad if the OG boy squad is gathering again.
    Josh and Bryce take a seat on the other sofa and I head for the loveseat. Just like the good old times.
"So," I say.
"So," Noah repeats.
"Let's all just talk, because it's been a while since we actually all just talked without trying to kill each other," Bryce jokes while eyeing Chase and Josh who are avoiding eye contact.
"Sure," Anthony says to try and ease up the tension. Bryce gives him a grateful nod.
"Well, so I already told you guys about Eliza. But here's the thing, I have to actually DATE her. Like take her on dates, be a perfect boyfriend, blah blah blah. And I have to act like I'm so over Addison! And I'm not! And Addison is just going to be straight up hurt, and I'm going to feel like the biggest schmuck in the world. What if Addison thinks that I'm really moving on and she moves on? Then I'm screwed! And I can't even talk to her because everytime I try to text her or secretly call her to explain it to her, Eliza pops out of nowhere! I swear, the girl is like the world's most overprotective, needy person in the world. She's so not my type, and I'm forced to date her because I love my dad. My love life sucks," Bryce complains.
    "Well that was deep," I mutter.
    Bryce rolls his eyes and groans, "Help me."
    "Wait, Bryce, have you ever considered that one day you might have to marry Eliza?" Chase says thoughtfully. Bryce turns the color of a sheet.
    "NO!" he shouts.
    "At this point, looks like it will happen," Josh says.
    "Nooooooo," he groaned.
    "Your screwed," Anthony says.
    "Thank you, Captain Obvious," Bryce says.
    "I don't know how your going to solve this Brycie," I tease.
    "Do NOT call me Brycie. Anyways, I don't know either. I think time will tell," he says and runs his hand through his hair.
"Jaden, tell us what's YOUR problem," Noah says. Noah is new to our little friend group and he's literally one of the sweetest people I've ever met.
    "Um, I don't even know where to begin," I say and tell them about Mads and I conversation.
    "Oo, man, you messed up, what is your problem with relationships?" Josh asks.
    "I don't really know. But I feel kind of trapped," I say.
    "So, you like flirting with every pretty girl you see?" Noah asks innocently.
    "No, I just feel like when I'm in a relationship, I have to be perfect. Like I have to fit in the mold of the perfect boyfriend," I say.
    "Makes sense," Chase says.
    "But I really like Mads and I don't want to lose her," I say.
    "Then you need to get her back," Bryce says.
    "Yeah, I guess I should," I say and turn on my phone. I text her.

    J: Hey, I'm really sorry. Can we talk?
    This person has blocked you.

    I read the text and the phone slips out of my hand.
    "WHAT? Mads blocked me?!" I shout.
    "What?!" Anthony exclaims. He picks up the phone, reads the message, and doubles over in laughter. I glare at him.
    "Sorry, sorry, it's just a little hilarious," he says. The other boys just look at the message.
    "You must've made her really mad, dude. Girls don't block people unless they are SUPER mad, you're screwed my dude. SCREWED," Chase says.
    "I have an idea. After we talk, we'll just go to wherever they are and try to explain ourselves," Bryce says, "But let's finish this up first."
    "Okay, well I have to confess next, um, you know how I'm engaged," Josh says.
    "Yeah, dude, congrats," Chase says awkwardly.
    "Uh thanks," Josh says just as awkwardly, "But..."
    "But what?" Noah says.
    "I..I don't feel like I'm ready for that kind of commitment," Josh says. The room goes dead silent.
    "But didn't you propose...?" Noah asks.
    "Yeah, but I didn't really think it through.." Josh says.
    "YOU IDIOT! Poor Nessa," Anthony says.
    "Not nice to play with her feelings dude. Girls take this marriage stuff very seriously," Chase says. I want to slap my forehead. Chase doesn't understand the irony of his words.
    "Says the guy who kissed my girlfriend," Josh says.
    "Dude, I said I was sorry. It was just an in the moment kind of thing," Chase says.
    "Shut up, you two," Anthony says, "How are you going to tell Nessa?"
    "I haven't really figured that out," Josh mutters.
    "You better soon. Don't lead her on. Your a real douche bag, you know that?" I berate him.
    "I know," he says and tears up, "I feel horrible, but I'm really not ready."
    "Do what you have to do man," Anthony says, "But try to be nice about it."
"I know," Josh says.
    "Since Josh has just confessed his guilty guts to us, anyone else want to?" Bryce says.
    "Me, I have a confession," Chase says. I look at him with an eyebrow raised.
    "I think...I think I'm going to get back with Charli," Chase confesses. We all just stare at him.
    "You're still not over her?" Anthony asks. Chase just sheepishly shakes his head.
    "I guess..go for it. But you know how Charli is...," I remind him. Charli will probably just smack him the second she sees him.
    "I know..." he says and stares off in space.
    "Anyone else?" Bryce looks around at us.
    "Nope. I have no problems with my girlfriend, because I'm not a butthead," Anthony brags. We all just roll our eyes.
    "Me neither. I don't even have a crush," Noah says. We roll our eyes again.
    "Anyways, well, so are we going to go find the girls?" I ask impatiently. I want to talk to Mads.
    "How are we supposed to find them?" Chase asks.
    "Got it," Anthony says. He turns on his phone and texts someone.
    "Who are you texting?" Bryce asks.
    "Avani," Anthony replies. After a couple of seconds, he pumps his fist in the air.
    "Got it! They're at RockingRollerSkating," Anthony says.
    "Okay, let's go then," Noah says.

    At RockingRollerSkating

    Avani spots us immediately and widens her eyes. She points to Addison and Mads, who are sitting on the bench talking with the other girls. We nod. She mouths, "Idiots."
    "Guys, I'll be right back. I have to go to the bathroom," Avani says loud enough to hear. The girls nod and go back to their conversation.
    "Hey baby," she says and kisses Anthony. We all look in different directions.
    "Hey. Shut up guys," Anthony says while looking at Chase staring at the ceiling.
    "Sorry, sorry," Noah says.
    "You guys are sons of bulldogs! Mads showed up super upset," Avani says and glares at me. I try to look somewhere else, "And Addison cried for a good hour nonstop!" It was Bryce's turn to look somewhere else.
    "Why are you guys here? Especially Chase," she says and shoots another glare at him.
    "Uh. we just wanted to talk," I say.
    "You guys are just stupid aren't you? GO AWAY!" she yells, "They don't want to talk to you! I mean Anthony can stay, and so can Noah, but the rest of you need to go bye bye!"
    "No," Bryce says stubbornly.
    "Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you," Avani says and leads us to the girls. They look up when they see Avani and all of their jaws drop. Addison's eyes immediately tear up when she sees Bryce. I shoot a look at Bryce and the look on his face is pitiable. Mads shuts her mouth when she sees me, and the crease between her eyebrows that signifies she's mad forms.
"Hey guys...look who I ran into..." Avani says. Just one look at her face tells she feels guilty for us.
    "Josh!" Nessa exclaims. Josh's face lights up when he sees her.
    "Hey sweetie!" Josh says. Then I guess he realizes what he's about to do and his face falls a little. Nessa leans in for a kiss, but then realizes his mood.
    "What's wrong?" Nessa asks.
    "Nothing," Josh says and kisses her. Nessa frowns, but talks to Josh for a while. While all this is going on, I'm staring at Mads and she's staring at me. Bryce is staring at Addison, and Addison is staring at him. This goes on for who knows how long until Mads seems to catch herself and tugs on Addison's arm.
    "C'mon Addison. Let's go skate," Mads says.
    "Yeah, sure," she mumbles.
    "Um, hi," I say. Mads doesn't answer. Well this is going great.
    "Hey," Addison replies to me while not looking at Bryce.
    "Can, we, uh skate with you guys?" I ask awkwardly.
    "I guess," Mads says. We head over into the rink and after some awkwardness, the tension lets loose and we all are giggling and falling and then giggling at the people who are falling. I forget all about my problems and we're all having fun. Mads even starts to talk to me a little again. However, like most things, the goodness stops when Mads trips over and falls right into me, and I manage to fall down with her. We both laugh then stop. This is really awkward.
    "Can we talk?" I ask.
    "Sure," she says, "Hi, goodbye." She attempts to stand up again and just ends up falling right back into me.
    "Please," I plead and use my secret weapon: Puppy eyes.
    "Fine," she says and I help her up. We exit through the back door and she leans against the wall.
    "What do you want to talk about? There is nothing to talk about!" she starts angrily.
    "I'm really sorry," I say.
    "Yeah? Well I don't care," she says and tries to leave, but I pin her against the wall.
    "No, I'm serious, I'm really sorry," I say.
    "You always say that, but then you go and do the same thing over again!" she says angrily and tries to push me off her, but she's off balance in her rollerskates.
    "I won't, I promise," I say and stare into her eyes. She doesn't say anything and just stares right back at me. She has really pretty eyes, I'm starting to think when she snaps out of it.
    "You said that the last time!" she shouts.
    "Please, Mads," I say.
    "No," she says stubbornly.
    "Yes," I say and crush my lips against hers. She doesn't resist. And somehow I know that everything will be okay.
