*Jade's P.O.V*
‘She has always had confidence issues’
‘Yeah but not like this Auntie’
‘Don’t worry Jade, she’ll be fine for the performance tonight’
I nodded and walked out the kitchen, away from my Auntie and mum, and walked upstairs onto the landing where Jaden was sitting. Jaden stood up as soon as he saw me and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
‘So what did her mum say’ he asked.
‘She basically said it’s normal’ I replied letting out a huge sigh, raking my hands through my straightened hair. I heard Jaden sigh with me as he took out his phone before dialling in a number and placing it against his ear. We stood in silence waiting and when I saw Jaden shake his head, I rolled my eyes.
‘What is up with him? Why hasn’t he been picking up his phone?’
‘I don’t even know. I tried to talk to Marcus about him the other day, but he kinda brushed me off’
I smiled weakly at Jaden as he screwed the floor hard; looks like Bubbles wasn’t the only one whose been affected by Reece’s weird behaviour. I turned around and knocked softly on the door, leaning my forehead against it.
‘Bubbles’ I said softly. I leaned my head closer to the door, so that my ear was pressing onto it. I heard a small sniff from the other side and felt my heart explode with sympathy. I hated seeing Bubbles like this! It was like she turned back into that scared 9 year old, who was too scared to even talk to me. I had spent a whole YEAR trying to get her to talk to me; and it wasn’t until my 10th birthday she actually said 2 words to me. I spent sooo long trying to make her comfortable, trying to make my home hers, and now it felt like all that hard work had just gone to waste…all of it. I suddenly felt a burst of anger and I spun on my heels and ran down the stairs, leaving a shocked Jaden standing. I ran outside and down my landing till I reached his front door and started banging loudly on the door.
‘HEY!! REECE YOU FROG OPEN THE DOOR!!’ I screamed as I balled up my fist and started banging loudly. I paused for a second to hear a soft muffle of music seeping through the top second window – Reece’s room. I looked around and stuffed my hand in one of his flower pots and grabbed a handful of dry mud and threw it against his window, in order to get his attention.
‘Jade what are you doing?’ asked Jaden, running down towards me.
‘Trying to get this DOG’S attention’ I screamed, ‘REECE! OPEN THE DOOR NOWW!!’ I stood back looking up at his window to see if he would at least look down. Instead all I heard was his music turn up to a louder volume, making me automatically see red.
‘I’M GONNA KILL HIM!’ I said running towards the door. Before I could reach it, I felt a pair of strong hands grab hold of my waist and lift me up.
‘Let me GO Jaden!’
‘Jade you’re acting psycho man! Chill out’
‘NO! REECE YOU BETTER COME AND APOLOGISE TO BIANCA!’
‘Jade he’s most probably not listening!’ shouted Jaden, as he struggled to pull me away from Reece’s house.
‘I DON’T CARE! LOOK WHAT HE’S DONE TO BIANCA!! DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT’S RIGHT!’ I screamed, pushing Jaden’s hands off me and standing in front of him.
