POV-WILLOW

" so you and Jaden have gotten pretty close?" I ask Jones.
" not exactly on purpose." She says
"Oh." I say.

Ivan only hope she does start to really like Jaden because he likes her, and if the feelings are unrequited there could be a huge problem.

" well I have to get back to the office. I was just dropping him off." She says.
"Okay." I sigh.

She turns to leave. I head to my room and stop abruptly. Loud clangs and the crashing of furniture ring along the hallway. I walk into Jadens room.

"Jaden? What's going on?" I ask.
" Go away. " he says.
" would you please just talk to me? What's with you lately?" I ask, slightly annoyed.
"Nothing." He says.
" whatever jaden. If you wanna talk I'm here. But don't say I don't care. Because I go SEE my family when they have a rough time. I care!" I snap.

Woah. I guess I was more upset with jaden not visiting me than I thought. He ignores me, hunched over a notebook scribbling away furiously. I storm off to my room. Usually around this time I'd be hanging out with junny, or mom even. But today I don't. I've run everyone away. I am alone.

POV JADEN

I keep writing. This will not happen again. I continue to plan and plan. Everything must go perfect and smooth. I won't have it any other way. I don't know how long I sit here, planning, plotting, getting ready. This is the girl of my dreams. Willow promised her to me. She is mine. And she can't run away. Never. I'm sure she doesn't want to. She was nervous is all. She doesn't see how perfect we are yet. I tuck the papers safely away and begin re cleaning my room. Could I really have been this reckless in my tantrum? The mess is almost enough to throw me into a fit. So chaotic. I check my watch. 6:30. It's been hours. I know the clinic is closed. Jones is probably gone. But her mother, mrs. clarks, is probably still there. I head out into the hall.

I should check on Willow. I think she's been having a rough week. But I don't really have time... I check on her in the morning. I go down the stairs. Just as I'm opening the door a voice calls me.

"Jaden?" Dad asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"Where you headed?"he asks, muting the football game.
"Out." I roll my eyes.

He's always breaking up my schedule.

"Out to where" he asks.
"A walk" I say.
" can I join you? " he asks.
"No." I say, and leave.

Me and dads relationship has been rough. And it's only gotten worse lately. Sometimes I feel like he hates me. He never speaks of me to his friends. I get sent to my room when we have guests over, and he's constantly trying to make me normal. I trek down to the clinic. I don't bother knocking. After all she'll be my mother too one day. She comes out of her office and halts in surprise.

"Jaden?" She asks.
"Hi." I say, suddenly shy.
"Did you need something? Jones isn't here. She's gone out with Trevor. " she says, looking wearily at me.
" I just came to say hi." I say.
"Oh. That's very sweet of you." She smiles.
"So who's Trevor?" I ask innocently.
"Joneses boyfriend. He volunteers here sometimes. You should meet him. " she says, half preoccupied with paperwork.
"Oh. Does he live around here?" I ask.
"No. He lives in the suburbs in cherry hill." She says.

I nod. I know where cherry hills is.

He will get what he deserves... He will get it...A voice chants

I picture him begging me for mercy. Powerless. Jones in my arms at last. Yes. At last.

"Are you okay sweety?" Mrs clarks asks.
"Hm?" I snap to attention.
"Yeah I'm fine."I say, getting up.
"Well thanks for visiting."she says in that same sugary voice as jones.
"No problem." I smile.

POV WILLOW

I'm looking for clothes for tomorrow with Myles. I don't know what to wear. Ally clothes are so weird! I can't wear this stuff! I've never wished so badly for Jessica the stylist to just pick normal stuff for me. And my hair... It's gone. Maybe I should wear a hat. Or a wig. Jaden comes in.

"So now you wanna talk." I say.
" not really. I came to check on you."he says.
" oh." I sigh.
" I heard you have a date" he says.
"Yes. Tomorrow morning and I don't know what to wear." I groan.

" you don't like your clothes anymore?" He asks.
I laugh. He can be so oblivious and naive.
"Help?" I ask.

He picks up some clothes after picking for a while.

"Thank you." I say.
"You can thank me by throwing this out." He holds up some tie dye pants. I laugh.
"Never. Those were expensive. " I say.
"So who's this date with." He asks.
"Remember Myles brown, that I used to school with?" I ask.
"Oh. Him? I thought he didn't like you back. Isn't that why you stopped hanging out?" He asks.

I bristle at the mention.

" no. He didn't want to jeopardize our friendship so we just didn't. We stopped hanging out because of his job." I say.

"Didn't he go out with your friend?" He asks.
"Yeah for a while" I shrug.
"So why the sudden interest in you now?" Jaden folds a shirt sprawled across my bed.

I stop. Why the sudden interest? I honestly don't know. I shrug at him. Then I get defensive.

"What you don't think he could like me?" I ask.
"No it's not that Willow. I just hope he's her for the right reasons. I don't want
To see you get hurt." He says.

I sigh. Jaden has been hurt many times. And with his obvious crush on jones, it looks like he's in for another.

"Okay. Thanks jaden. Your soooo amazing." I hug him.
"Anytime willow. You know that." He says.
"Night." I say.
"Good night." He says. And leaves.

I think. A date with Myles tomorrow. My very first date!!! And my birthday party soon. I can't help but think of how it will be, us smiling and laughing and being romantic together. I smile at my ceiling. Things might not be so bad after all.
