JADE'S POV:
---------------------
I got everything ready for the sleepover
I hear the doorbell and I quickly ran to the door. I never had a sleepover so I'm pretty excited. My uncle never allowed me to have friends let alone a sleepover.
Opening the door my smile goes away, Damon and Cory standing behind her with their bags
"Hey bitch I'm finally here! " Ana says smiling. She steps in whispering "I'm so sorry don't be pissed" She lightly kisses my cheek and walks in. I couldn't be mad at Ana but I definitely can be with Cory and Damon.
Before they can step in I block their path looking at Cory
"If you try anything I'll tear your arm off and beat you to death with the bloody stump"
He looks at me confused but just smirks leaning close to me my breath caught in my throat. He touches my cheek "I'll only try anything if you want me to"
He winks and walks past me. Damon walks in and as I was about to close the door a foot stops it from closing all the way
"Bulldog?"
"Hey fire I needed to talk to you but it seems you are busy so I'll just go"
"No no please stay you can join the sleepover" He comes in and we all sit in the living room
Bull pulls me aside "where is your uncle?"
"He'll be back next week"
He lifts my arms looking at the bruises and old scars "how long has it been since he hurt you?"
Bull was the only one who knew about my past. The only one I could talk to. It's just hard to bring it up "just before he left I'm fine" His eyes filled with sadness.
Ugh I hate that, I don't do pity
He grabs my hands and looks me in the eyes, I smile "seriously I'm okay"
"Sweetheart you're not okay" His voice breaks and he brings me in a hug
"Come on bull don't get emotional. " I pull away and kiss his cheek. I turn around Ana is bickering with Damon as usual and Cory is glaring at bull
Huh weird
I sit down on the couch bull sat next to me. Cory comes up sitting on the other side of me wrapping his arm around my shoulder pulling me a little closer
"So you and bull?" He looks at me and bulldog
Bull looks at me and we completely lost it. We started laughing. I fell to the floor holding my stomach. Ana and Damon look at us as if we completely lost it
"What? I'm confused? " Cory asks. Once I sobered up I wipe the tear from my eye
"Cory that was an amazing joke. "
"Dude I'm gay" Bull pulls me back up on the couch Cory's mouth flew open
"Plus isn't she with that asshat? What's his name Julian? "
"Dude I was with him for three years and you still can't learn his name? it's Justin. And no he cheated on me"
"He did WHAT?" I Pat his shoulder
"Don't worry she kicked his ass and Cory didn't let him touch her so she is good" Ana interrupts. Bull starts calming down
"Wait so you are gay? And nothing is going on between you two?"
"Why do you have a crushy wushy?" This was Damon turn to be immature
I glare at Damon rolling my eyes "no I 100% don't like cory. Never going to happen." I look at Cory and something flicks in his eyes but he just laughs pulling me closer
"Yeah no we are just friends" Bull scoffs as damon just rolls his eyes
"Denial" He drags out the l and starts chuckling
"What about you and chicky over there" Bull points at Ana
Ahh he knows too
"Did you just call me chicky? It's Ana dipshit."
Damon points at Ana "this " Chicky" Gets on my nerves. I can't stand her"
Bull laughs "I think you guys would be adorable together. You can practically sense the sexual tension"
What is with these people and sexual tension?
"Yeah whatever I'm going to go in the kitchen to get a drink"
I get up heading to the kitchen Ana following me
"So you seriously don't like him? "
Yes.
no.
I don't even know.
"No I don't like him. I don't know how to feel about him. Even if I did like him he wouldn't like me. "
I open the fridge freezing once I see it. The only thing in the fridge was alcohol. I was used to it by now but everytime I see the fridge I just get angry
Why doesn't he love me? I mean growing up I was a good kid. I never did anything wrong
So why did my uncle hate me? I know he blamed me because of my parents but why would he hate me. Now he was the only family I got and he won't even look at me.
"Jade?" Her hand touches my shoulder causing me flinch
I think I zoned out again.
Grabbing the lemonade I smile sadly at her "yeah sorry. Zoned out." I know she noticed the fridge but thankfully she let it go for now.
Buzzzz buzzzz
Ugh damn it come on.
I pick up my phone checking it
For the hundredth time today Justin has tried contacing me
"Who was it?"
"Justin. He wanted to say how sorry he is and how he wants me back. I seriously don't get the point in cheating. If you lost feelings then grow some balls and dump me."
"I'm really sorry about you guys"
God I hate that word.
Sorry
"It's honestly fine. I feel free. We were always fighting about something stupid and he was just a plain jackass. Seriously stupid. If brains were leather he wouldn't have enough to saddle a Junebug"
"I'm sorry what?" She starts laughing causing me to smile
"Sorry just what they say down home in other words Justin is a dumbass. I remember this big fight we had I couldn't visit him for Christmas and that seriously pissed him off to the point he was yelling at me and ignoring me for days being a complete ass"
She listens to my story as I start to remember every heartbreaking detail
{Flashback}
I wasn't able to spend Chrismas day with Justin because I went to visit my parents at the cemetery. I spent every Christmas with them since they passed away. Mostly because I had nobody else and my uncle was busy getting high and drunk with his friends.
I knew Justin would be pissed if I didn't spend time with him I went to his house after Chrismas day
"I want you to spend the nights until new years. I didn't get to spend chrismas with you because you had " Other things" to do. I already know you lied about where you went. You we're obviously with another guy I know I'm not good enough" I roll my eyes at his statement
"Sweetheart even if I want to I can't stay for that long. You know that. I was visiting my parents just like I told you. I wasn't lying" I take his hands in mine and he snatches them away
"You are such a lying bitch! I'm tired of not being able to spend holidays with you. If you don't visit me on new years then I will not hesitate to break up with you I'm tired of it" He got close to me I wanted to take a step back but I stood my ground standing tall to show I wasn't scared
"Are you serious? It's just a holiday who cares? I can see you on new years I just can't spend the night with you until then"
"Fine then I'll break up with you" I scoff shrugging my shoulders
"Then do it." I cross my arms over my chest waiting for his reply
"Are you kidding? You never loved me I knew it!" I just wanted to punch him with that statement. He sits down clenching his fists
Oh god help me make sure these words don't leave my mouth
Damn it
Too late
"Look If you want to break up with me over the world's dumbest reason then please do so. I honestly don't care. When you are ready to act your age and treat me with respect call me. I'll be home"
I grab my bag walking out the door without hearing another word from him
{End of flashback}
"He seriously sounds like an ass. Why did you stay? "
"I guess I thought I loved him but my heart finally told me that it wasn't love. Just another disappointment"
Ana grabs my arms pulling in for a hug.
My body froze at this action
Oh god human interaction
What do I do?
I awkwardly Pat her shoulder as she pulled away laughing
"I keep forgetting you aren't a hugger"
I smile turning to look at the boys talking. Cory was laying back against the couch his hand running through his hair
Just a simple action makes him attractive
"So what do you think the boys are talking about? "
"Girls, parties, did I mention girls? "
She starts laughing and leaning her head on my shoulder
---------------------------------------------------
CORY'S POV:
----------------------
As soon as Jade and Ana went to the kitchen bull dog looks straight at me
"So she is gone now you can cut the bullshit how do you feel about her? "
Instantly Damon's head perks up and scoots closer looking at me. He honestly looked like a little kid waiting for dessert
I couldn't even answer the question.
How did I feel about her?
All I know is she really pisses me off. with her stupid sarcastic remarks and stupid big eyes that always look sad. And honestly I just love pissing her off.
Do I like her?
No definitely not
"I don't like her. She's just special. She is her own person and I love that. God she pisses me off half the time. " I ranted staring off into space one I look at the boys they had huge smiles on their faces
"Dude you so like her"
"Screw that you loveeeee her" He drags out the words and I roll my eyes
"I do not love her we are just somewhat kind of friends. Who falls in love after a couple of days?"
"Cinderella, snow White, Bell-"
"Actually Belle hated the beast at first and then fell in love and technically the other princesses fell in love as soon as they saw their prince" Damon interrupts
"Seriously? You watch princess movies?" Bull dog seems surprised. I remember when we were little he would always make me watch those movies I absolutely hated them.
"Of course I love them. I'm a sucker for romance movies"
"Oh my god me too what's your favorite? "
"Hmm I don't know I'd like to say brave. Merida didn't need a man to help her through her conflicts. I love that"
"Me too. Brave was an amazing movi-"
"Guys! Shut up and focus! " I finally interrupted their banter and they looked at me immediately smiling sheepishly
"The point of this conversation is I'm 100% not in love with jade" I look at jade in the kitchen. Ana was hugging her honestly she looked so uncomfortable
I knew she hated being touched but why?
Was it her uncle? I still haven't asked about her bruises maybe he doesn't hurt her maybe he is just an ass and the bruises are from her fighting?
I knew we weren't too close to talk about any of that. Jade was kind of like a deer in the woods. You have to approach it slowly or they run away.
Our eyes locked and I just wanted to look away but I couldn't. Why can't I look away?
Someone punches my shoulder and I look at Damon
"Dude you are staring"
"No I'm not. Just observing."
"Mhm sureee"
For a few hours we just ate pizza and watched movies. Jade's head rested on my shoulder
From the corner of my eye I study her features. Her beautiful hair touches my arm and honestly I just want to run my fingers through it
I hear someone snicker and I look at Damon who was laughing at me. I roll my eye but I smirk seeing ana sleeping on his lap
And he makes fun of me. Pfft okay.
they said they hated each other. Yeah right.
------------------------------------------------------------------
JADE'S POV:
---------------------
After the movie ended everyone was asleep. Cory's hand rested on my thigh
Well there goes the butterflies. Im so confused. I hate him. He just makes me so mad with how arrogant he is.
Shaking the feeling away I slowly got up so I wouldn't wake him. I walk to my room and hopped in the shower. All these thoughts rush through my mind
Do I like him?
Probably not.
After 30 minutes in the shower I put on a black laced bra and black thong. I wrap a to towel around my body and step out of the bathroom
I stop in my tracks once I see Cory on my bed smirking at me
"What are you doing in here?"
"I noticed you were gone so I missed you"
I roll my eyes going to my closet dropping my towel as I turn on the closet light.
"I...uh..arent you going to freak out or tell me to get out? "
I look at him smiling at how red his face is. "Why would I do that? You've seen boobs and an ass before. It's nothing new? "
Honestly his confused face is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Maybe this time I can get revenge for the times he's made me flustered?
I put on a large t-shirt that goes down to my knees. Smirking I walk close to him. Slowly moving forward his breath got caught in his throat.
I climb on top swinging a leg on each side of him. My hand rest on his chest. The moment I touched him I felt electricity scorch through me
But he couldn't know I was effected. My hands grab his and I move them up above his head keeping them there. His eyes stared into mine. I honestly couldn't read them. For once he had nothing to say. No sarcastic remark or anything.
"Does this..bother you?" My voice coming out in a soothed whisper. I trace my finger lightly down his arm and up his neck, once they reach his lips I drag his bottom lip down slightly seeing he closed his eyes and groaned quietly.
Oh god. Well this backfired on me.
Seeing how I was distracted he smirks flipping us over pinning me down. A gasp escapes my lips.
"Don't pick a fight you can't win love" He whispers in my ear. Before I could do anything he pulls away laying next to me, I was too stunned to even move.
"When did your parents die?" His question surprises me. Clearing my throat I try to answer
"Ahem.. Um.. A year ago"
"My dad died two years ago." My head turns and I finally notice all the built up pain
"Why did you tell me that"
"So you know you aren't alone"
