TRAPPED | Trent Alexander Arnold

Chapter 18 - sweet kisses

"Jadon! Jadon wait! Please Jadon" I begged as I ran after him "just listen to me, please"

Not once did he turn around, he just walked into his room and was about to close the door, but I was quick to push myself inside before he got the chance to do that.

"Get out!" He pointed towards the door.

"No!"

"I said Get out!" He repeated.

"I'm not going anywhere until you listen to me"

"Whats there to listen to? I've finally found the answer to my question. I finally understand why you keep pushing me away, and that's because there's already someone else in your life" he said "why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me that you already had someone? Why did you lead me on like that?"

"I didn't lead you on Jadon"

"I'm not a fool, Kylie. I heard when he said you're worth dying for and I saw when he kissed your hand"

"Well did you hear the entire conversation?"

"I don't need to. I've seen and heard enough"

"Wow! So you're just gonna jump into conclusion like that? I honestly didn't expect that from you. I thought you'd ask to know what those things you heard and saw meant!"

He didn't say anything, he just looked down. A few seconds later, he sighed and moved closer to me, taking both my hands in his "look, im...sorry. I was just really upset and my emotions got the best of me" he softly said "now can you please explain what's going on? Why was Trent in the room with you and why was he kissing your hand?"

I sat on the bed and tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear "Trent is my ex boyfriend"

"What?"

I started explaining everything from the very beginning. From the time I started working for Trent to the time I found out that I was a bet. I told him about Alex's and Trina's betrayal, I told him about tapes, I told him everything. Obviously, my eyes went Niagara Falls on me. I don't think I'll ever be able to talk about that awful day without crying. The pain is just too much, it hurts in such a way that it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm just...numb now.

"I'm so sorry" he said as he pulled me in for a warm hug, letting me know that he's here with me "You have every right to be scared about getting into another relationship and I don't blame you for finding it hard to trust just anyone so easily. If you want to be alone or need more time to think, I understand, and I-"

"I don't want to be alone, and I don't need more time to think. I've already made my decision"

"So...what have you decided then?"

I smiled "I want you"

the look on his face is so satisfying to watch.

"A-are you sure?"

"Yes" I nodded "but..."

"But....?"

I took his hand in mine "before you date me, I need you to understand that I'm damaged. I get triggered easily, I have struggled with things, and I'm just not the easiest girl to love. I have this terrible habit of overthinking, I tend to overreact more that I should and I get a little insecure every once in a while. There are nights when I'll curl up like a ball in the corner of the room and won't talk to anyone. I'll shut you out sometimes and I won't be able to trust you completely for a while because everyone has always left me or chosen someone else. I'll be needy of your attention. I'll literally want to take up all your time and I'll need a lot of reassurance. I'll need you to keep choosing me. I'll need you to just....be there whenever I need you"
