A Princess Doesn't Cry

Jordan

Everyone thought he was just a normal kid, but that was apart from the truth. Jordan had been through trauma, his best friend died. His mom thought it would give him a fresh start if they moved. The second he saw Aurelia, he thought of Juliet.

Red, curly hair, held tight in a bun to reveal a skinny, menacing face. Hooded hazel eyes, set lightly within their sockets, watch faithfully over the haven they've loved for so long. Soft skin beautifully compliments her eyes and leaves a gracious memory of her luck in battles.

She always wore long-sleeved shirts, to cover her scars. She wore hoodies over her shirts, so seeing them was rare. One of her favorite songs was "Good Girls" by 5 Seconds of Summer.

She was very insecure. She snuck out the window with Jordan most nights. Other nights she would cry herself to sleep.

Jordan popped on Good Girls through those thin black headphones. Then, started reading the letter Juliet wrote in her last moments alive.

Dear Jordan,
I know by the time you see this, I will no longer be here. I know this is hard for you. I just want you to know that I have loved you. I'm so sorry I did this. I'm sorry I met you, and I have to make you cry. I'm sorry I'm a failure. I just want you to know, I'm happy now. I still love you, but please carry on with your life. Don't forget me, but don't carry my dread on your shoulders. I will tell God to write you a happy ending in my name.

With love,
Juliet

Jordan, now crying, sits there in agony. Juliet watching over his shoulders. Jordan looks up and starts singing her favorite song.

"She said to me," he says with a frog in his throat, "Forget what you thought, 'cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught. So just turn around and forget what you saw, 'cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

He lays down on his bed and cries himself to sleep.

The next day he plans to ask Aurelia out. He already told her about Juliet, his secret. He at least wanted a shoulder to lean on. He needed to find a way to get rid of Estelle though.

When he got on the bus, he quickly learned that Estelle bribed the driver to go to his house first.

She ran up to him and pulled him to the back of the bus, in the middle seat. She was spilling all the tea with her friends.

The next stop was Aurelia's house. Aurelia hops on the bus with a look of joy on her face.

Estelle grabbed Jordan by the face, and kissed him, on the lips. She pushed him down and started making out.

Practically pinning him to the walls of the bus, Jordan knew the only way she would stop was if he played along.

He grabbed waist, spun her around, picked her up and pinned her to the wall.

"If I'm going to do this I should have some fun," he thought to himself.

He took off his shirt, for pleasure purposes. She was going to proceed but he stopped her.

Aurelia's face turned white as if she saw a ghost. She quickly took her seat. The bus roared with laughter.

When school was over, Estelle called him. She blackmailed him, one of her friends took a pic of him in the bus. He had never been more selfish in his life. But he did it for Juliet.

He met her at her house. They went upstairs to the fourth floor. (Where her room was) He took off his shirt. He grabbed Estelle picked her up and pinned her to the wall. They kissed for a moment. She started taking off her shirt. He quickly threw them both on the bed. They started undressing themselves. Then things went off from there.

Aurelia ignored him for three days. He decided to keep what happened after school a secret.
