Another night and once again, I couldn't sleep. Jayden... No no, he's a no go area. I've known him since childhood but we haven't ever had a conversation that has lasted for more than two minutes. Maybe I shouldn't be jumping into conclusions. Daddy's birthday will be here in the blink of an eye and I don't even have anything in mind.
Today's the last day Beryl and Jayden will be here, well, until..... I don't know when again. We all ordered items to be shipped home so we could make our selection of gifts when dad left for work. Jayden sat close to me, like very close. We interacted alot and I was happy bit deep down I knew nothing more could come out of my ridiculous feelings for him. Beryl was acting all weird, so I got closer to her and asked her what's happening.
"What's up? Why are you all smiles?", I asked in confusion.
"I just figured out that my brother has a crush....no no, loves a certain girl!", she shrieked. My heart dropped. "What?", I barely whispered. "Mmhm", she nodded.
"That's good to know, I think It's about time he settled with someone", I continued in a low tone. I don't know what's happening and I'm in no position to feel this way but I can't help it. I excused myself and went to my room upstairs. I locked myself in the bathroom and cried my eyes out. I didn't even know when the seconds turned into minutes and hours until I heard a knock on the bathroom door and that was when I realized it was almost sunset.
"Who is it?", I asked in a weak voice.
"Nessa? You okay?", a masculine voice said
"It's Jayden, and, I came to check up on you, coz...you've been up here for a while", he continued when I didn't respond.
"I-I'm fine", I responded, my voice almost breaking.
"You don't sound okay", his voice faded.
I didn't respond again neither did I hear his voice again. Beryl stepped into the room minutes later to inform me that they were about to leave. "I'll be down in a minute!", I managed to scream. I got up from the bathroom floor, only to find out that I just began my period. I turned on the tap and took a warm bath. I heard mom's voice bit I couldn't hear her clearly so I just ignored her. After taking my bath, I called a maid and asked if Jayden and Beryl were still around and she told me that they left not long ago and that they waited a long time for me. I didn't bother going out of my room so I just tucked myself in and drifted away.
