Until I Die

Chapter 6

At around 2:00 am, I was shaken awake softly. It was Jordan. The rest of the boys were sleeping. Shawn and Bryan laid quietly on the bed, while Alexandro snored loudly on my desk chair. I realized that Jordan had fallen asleep cradled in my arms, as I was prompted up by the front of my bed. I looked up at him, confused.

"What's wrong?" I asked, half asleep.

"Don't we have school tomorrow? I didn't mean to intrude yesterday. I got to go." He quickly hugged me, starting to get up. I grabbed his wrist and he turned around.

"No. The boys and I discussed it, and we are skipping school today to spend it with you. You don't have choice, by the way." I added, as he tryed to convince otherwise.

"You sure?" he asked

"Of course. You're much more important than Ms. Ellen's lectures." This made him smile.

He sat back down, and I embraced him into a hug and we fell asleep.

I woke up to aggressive yelling. I opened my eyes to the boys laughing and play fighting. I had been moved to the bed, and they were all by the tv playing Call of Duty. I grabbed my phone, opening my messages with Jaya. It was only 11:00 AM, so he was probably still at lunch.

I got up, and all the boys got off, and asked what we were going to do today. We decided to go to the park, and then get some food. We returned to my house, and we sat down to talk about how he was feeling. 

"Aight, so what happened." asked Shawn

"Facts." replied Bryan.

He began to explain in fuller detail what had happened. They had been walking down the hallway, when all of a sudden, she had stopped him. She talked about how much she cared about him before saying, in her exact words:

"Yeah. that's why I'm breaking up with you." Then, according to him, she walked away without looking back. He tried texting her, but she left him on open every time. He tried calling her, but she had blocked him.

" I get breaking up, but why did she go on bad terms. Like she didn't even explain why." He said, obviously annoyed.

"She doesn't deserve you then. You have to move on. She wasn't worth it if she can't be honest. It's life." Shawn said, bluntly.

"Damn, that was harsh." Alexandro responded.

"Nah it's fine. He's right. I'm just pissed. She wasted almost two years of my life to just walk out." He said, starting to get tense. I sensed it immediately, and tried to change the subject.

"Um, are y'all hungry?" I said quickly. Everyone nodded, and we got up. As we went downstairs, Jordan pulled me aside, and whispered quickly in my ear.

"Thanks Aya." I smiled back and nodded.

As I showed the boys the snack cabinets, I got a knock on the door. My mom doesn't come home until tomorrow, which was Thursday, so I was caught off guard when I heard the knock. I looked to the peephole, to see Jaya smiling at the door. I quickly opened and gave him a massive hug. He came in, and gave the boys hugs, especially Jordan. 

"What are you doing here so early?" I asked. It was only 1:34 pm, and school didn't end until 2:10.

 "I have lunch at the end of the day today, and we go straight home after that, so I decided to come here, for my boy."

Jordan smiled at Jaya. I left upstairs towards my room to get ready and dressed as they talked and ate. I took a 10 minute shower, changed into loose jeans and a cropped black shirt, some slides, and went downstairs. We left almost immediately after that, and enjoyed the rest of the day.
