HURT •Jaden Hossler•

Chapter 43

We arrived at the restaurant and I went to sit next to Addison. I really wanted to sit next to Jaden, but I was actually upset about the whole situation. I looked in front of me and Jaden sat right across from me. He was already looking at me and tried to grab my hands. I moved them under the table and looked away from him. "Ali, please", Jaden said while everyone had their own conversation. "Jaden, just not now okay?", I said softly looking at him. He nodded his head slowly and moved his hands back. I looked next to Jaden and Anthony sat there. He frowned at me and I knew he was questioning what was going on. I looked away from him too and the waiter came and gave us the menu's.

The past hours we've been eating, talking about what we wanted to do and much more. I was actually having fun, but I knew there was a big conversation a head of this night. After about two hours we left and went back to the hotel. We all said goodnight to everyone and went to our room. Before I could walk away Anthony pulled me aside. "What's going on?", he asked looking past me at Jaden who was waiting for me apparently. "It's nothing, Ant", I said looking down. "Don't lie, I can see that you're both miserable. And what happened at dinner?", he asked frowning. "Ant, it's fine. We just had an argument", I said looking at him. "About what?", he asked. "It really doesn't matter. I'm fine, okay?", I said raising my eyebrows at him. "You better be, I'm not planning on beating Jaden's ass on this trip", Anthony said chuckling. Maybe you should. I gave Anthony a hug and we walked to our rooms. Jaden joined me and soon we arrived at our room.

I quickly grabbed a shirt and some sweats to put on. As I walked out of the bathroom Jaden was just observing me while I was putting away my clothes. I grabbed my phone from the table and sat on the opposite side of the bed, facing my back towards him. "Ali, can we talk?", he asked. "Sure", I said turning around meeting his eyes. Let me tell you that came out as bitchy as it sounds. "I'm sorry I acted like that, I was just upset that you didn't say it back", he said looking down. "I know, but that doesn't mean you can act cold towards me", I said frowning. "I'm sorry", he said still not looking at me. "Stop saying sorry", I said softly. "Then what do you want me to say? That I'm an asshole? Because yes I am, I know!", he said slightly raising his voice. I just looked at him while he was literally lashing out at me. "Jaden what is going on?", I asked. "Nothing", he answered fast. "Is it Mads?", I asked already regretting it. "What?", he asked frowning. "Mads? Her tweet and her story?", I asked raising my eyebrows. "It's nothing Ali", he said sighing.

"Jaden, just be honest with me", I said not really knowing where I was going with this. He looked at me but stayed silent. "I-if you don't want to be with me then just have the balls to tell me in my face. You promised me to never contact her, but here we are again. And I don't want to be that kind of girlfriend that controls you, but you know what she did", I said looking down starting to tear up. "Don't say that", he said sternly. "Why not? Because it's true?", I asked looking at him frowning. He stayed silent. "Are you serious, Jaden?", I asked letting the tears fall down my cheeks. "Ali, it's not what it looks like. I swear", he said trying to grab my hands once again. I moved my hands back and shook my head. I didn't want to think about the worse, but it was screaming at me. He's probably cheating... I stood up and grabbed the hoodie I was wearing this morning.

I walked to the door, but Jaden put his hand on the door not letting me leave. "Jaden, let me leave", I said quietly trying to not break down right in front of him. "Ali, please just let me explain", he said standing right behind me. I could feel his chest against my back, and I really wanted to hug him and just cry my eyes out, but I couldn't. "I- ... I need to be alone", I said as my voice cracks. "Ali...", he said softly. "I'm just gonna go for a walk... please", I asked feeling the tears swell in my eyes. "Please come back", he asked still holding the door. I just nodded scared to say anything knowing a sob would come out. Jaden slowly removes his hand from the door and I open it. Without looking at him I closed the door and let the tears fall.

~ Jaden's POV ~
It's been two hours now. She's still out and I'm really getting worried now. I decided to call her and hope she would pick up. I dial her number and hear it go over. I suddenly hear a faint ringtone and I look at the table on her side of the bed. "Fuck", I said under my breath. She left her phone here. I threw my phone on the bed and put my hands in my messy hair. What the fuck did I do? Why didn't I just tell her? I didn't know what to do, because it getting late and not forgetting we're in Bora Bora. I decided to call the one person who I knew would be the worse discission but maybe the best one too. Anthony. "Hey Jay, what's up?", Anthony asked answering the phone. "Can you come to my room?", I asked. "Sure, on my way", he said hanging up. After about five minutes Anthony knocked on the door. "What's up? Something wrong?", he asked as I let him in. "Uhm... Ali and I got in an argument. She left without her phone", I said looking away from him already imagining his anger.

Anthony sat on the bed and looked at me. "What happened, Jay?", he asked trying to keep his calm. "Can we not talk about that, I'm really worried", I said. "Fine, what did she say when she left?", he asked. "She said she was gonna go for a walk", I said. "Let's just look in the lobby and maybe she is just at the beach", he said standing up. I nodded and stood up too. We walked out and started to look for Aliyah. Every minute that went by without knowing where she was made me even more anxious. I know it's my fault but I just need to know if she's okay and safe.

~ Aliyah's POV ~
The past two hours I've been walking on the beach with Theo. Do you remember that guy from the front desk? Well that's him. He saw me cry when I walked out of the hotel and asked me if I was alright. I really just poured my heart out to him and explained the whole situation. I normally don't do that with strangers, but I was really thru it today. "... so I think he's cheating on me", I said finishing it. "Okay, but did you ask him if he did?", he asked raising his eyebrows. "No, I already left to even think about that", I said looking down. "You know... boys sometimes deal with stuff they don't want to tell anyone. Not even the person they care about a lot. And look I don't know Jaden personally, but just hearing you talk about him and the way he looks at you makes it very clear to me", Theo said smiling a little bit. "What do you mean?", I asked frowning. "He only has eyes for you", he said nudging me. I smiled and started to blush. "He loves you, A. I really don't think he would cheat on you, he's just not that kind of guy", he said shrugging.

"Well...", I said biting my lip. "What? He did?", Theo asked surprised. "Yeah, he cheated on his ex with... me", I said pressing my lips together. "No way!", he said stopping. "Yep, not proud of that tho", I said stopping too. "Wow, never thought of you as a cheater", he said laughing. "That makes the two of us, I guess", I said chuckling. "I'm sorry by the way", he said. "For what?", I asked frowning. "For flirting with you, while you had a boyfriend", he said. "It's fine, you didn't know", I said shrugging. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him. "What time is it actually?", I asked looking at the waves. "Uhm... about to be 3 am", he said looking at his phone. I nodded and turned towards him. "Thanks Theo, it really helped", I said hugging him. "Anytime, just talk to him", he said hugging me back. We stayed in the hug for a while before I hear someone calling me. "Ali...", I hear a deep voice say. I can recognize that one everywhere. I let go of Theo and looked his way. His face dropped and he bit his lower lip. He looked me right in the eye and walked away after a few seconds. I already had tears in my eyes knowing he was thinking the same thing I was just thinking minutes ago. Maybe we are not made for each other... no matter how bad I want us to be...
