Chapter 4 - CHAPTER ONE

No matter what, you should know it takes a single decision in changing your whole life....

THREE MONTHS LATER

JORDYN POV

"I don't care, when I'm with my baby girl, as long as you just hold near, you can take me anywhere....." I kept singing and swinging my broom as I clean my house. It's been three months since Leon dumped me. After a week of crying and feeling depressed, I decided to stop going outside. Why bother going out while in the end they will just keep insulting about one thing or the other. I decided to lock myself up in my house and eat away my sorrows and listen to music. So yeah that's pretty much how my life is going. I chat with my friends once in a while on social media but literally all I do is watch romantic movies and eat all day, I guess food is the only one who truly understands me than anyone. I kept rambling the lyrics of the song as I kept sweeping, usually I stop once in a while to sing the solo of the music. I decided to clean my house cause its been days since I've done anything cleaning. I was busy singing to the music as I heard my door bell ring. I was a bit surprise cause I never have visitors so I tried to ignore it but after it ringing for how many times, I paused my music as I look at my door confuse. I don't normally have friends so who the hell is ringing the bell? After much thinking I concluded it to be the mail man, I went over there to open the door. After opening the door, the word shock wouldn't be enough to describe how I felt at the moment. I blink my eyes a few times to ensure I was not dreaming. Seeing the most handsome person I've met in my whole life looking at me surprise, I looked at him surprise as well.

"D-d-daniel???"

AN HOUR EARLIER

DANIEL POV

"Daniel, you sure you wanna visit her? Even after hearing what has become of her" Carlos said while driving the car. I looked out the window as I turned on my phone to see the wall paper of me and Jordyn back in University. She was smiling so beautifully as she kisses my cheek. I remember that day so perfectly, how she kissed my cheek so I could pay the bill of the dinner. Back then I didn't realize how so much in love I was with her until our graduation when we finally departed from each other. After that I lost track of her for a while until Carlos brought up the topic of how Jordyn have changed for the worst about her gaining weight. Obviously my feelings towards her never changed nevertheless,  it only made me more eager to see her myself. Back then Jordyn has always been sensitive of her body due to she was more curvy than others, I'm pretty sure she would lock herself up in her apartment from the whole world so as to not get taunted. After investigating she had a boyfriend who broke up with her due to her size, it made me both angry and relieve. Angry that he had the audacity to break my Jordyn's heart, relieve that they aren't dating anymore. I decided that I won't let Jordyn to suffer any longer, I'll help in making her loose weight. The moment she looses all her weight then that's when I'll tell her how I feel about her.

"Daniel, are you even listening to me?" I heard Carlos said which snapped me out of my daze as I looked at him. Was he talking the whole time? I only looked back at my phone replying to him.

"I've made up my decision of meeting her, irrespective of her change. I care about her and if it means me helping her loose her weight then I'm that willing to do so" I said simply causing Carlos to sigh.

"So I guess I can't change that mind of yours. Fine, do whatever you want. Don't go begging me to help you when you want to leave" he said frowning a bit as he kept driving. I simply smiled calmly as I spoke.

"You don't have to worry about that, I never intend to leave anyway"

*****************************

Reaching her street, I told Carlos when to pick me. He nods before finally driving away from the environment. I wore my glasses as I walked down the streets. Of course I could see everyone murmuring and whispering to themselves as they stole side glances to see me. I ignored all of them as I reached the apartment of her house which Carlos gave me. I breathe out all my nervousness as I came closer to the door. As much as I try to calm my nervousness my heart kept racing as I rang the doorbell. I waited a while only to hear music from the house, it seems like she hasn't change her habit of playing loud music. I couldn't help a small curve coming to my lips as I press the doorbell a few times before she finally opens her door. Her cute brown eyes widens as she looks at me, I won't lie I'm surprise as how she's change. She got a bit taller although still shorter than me and of course she did gain well.....some pounds. She was still looking at me with that shock expression which I won't lie looked cute on her.

"D-d-daniel???" She said with a surprise face. I simply smiled as I look at her.

"Hey Jordyn, been a while" I said to her which made her to clean her eyes to look at me.

"Am I dreaming this?" She said pinching herself to check if she was dreaming. I couldn't help but giggle at  her act. Even after all the years she still haven't change her childish attitude.

"What do you think?" I said causing her to look at me. She eyes me before speaking.

"Alright, what's my favourite moment with you Daniel?" She said still eyeing me suspiciously, like I was a fake or something. It only made me smile to see she hasn't yet forgotten about me.

"Hm...good question.....I think that would be, anytime I waste my money on you especially if it involves food" I said looking at her which made her gasped.

"It is you!" She said with a fake surprise expression which made me to smile at her. I can't believe I fell in love with this idiot.

"Wow say something we all don't know" I told her which made her to smile widely exposing her cute dimples.

"O my God you've change Daniel, you use to be hot but now your like more hotter than before...." She kept rambling as I looked at her. Although she gained weight, she still looked quite beautiful in my eyes, I guess no matter how she looks, she'll always be looking cute in my eyes. I only smiled before patting her head.

"You too have change Jordyn" I told her which I immediately regretted as her smile changed into a sad smile. She tried covering it but it was too late. She only smiled before speaking.

"You mean for the worst then, since I've gotten so ugly cause of all this fat" she said completely insulting herself. How much insult have she receive to make her loose all her self esteem? I frowned as I looked at her.

"Even though you gained few pounds you still look cute to me. You shouldn't look so down on yourself." I told her which made her to look at me surprise.

"Are you serious? your like the first person that have complimented me with my size" she said still looking at me. I only held her cheek as I smiled to her which surprises her.

"That's because no matter how you look, your still gonna be the Jordyn that I care about"

She looks at me as her cheeks turn red. After looking at her I could see a few tears forming at her eyes, she only smiled as she spoke.
