Chapter 2- Things Could've Gone Worse

*Jordan Witzigreuter's POV*

The second I saw Jae, I knew something was off. And sadly, I know what that something is. I'm completely dumbfounded as to how I thought agreeing to going out with Taylor when we met in Sydney would make Jae want me more, at least just as much as I wanted her in my arms. I tried to keep a blank look on my face as I saw Tay's obvious bitching, I tuned everything out until hearing her name pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Hey Jade!" Tay said with pride overflowing from her words.

Hearing Tay saying Jae's name in a bitchy tone put me on edge, I wanted to walk up to her, put my arms around her and just pull her close. I wanted to be a shoulder she could lean on.

I finally built up the courage to follow my thoughts, but the second I met her sad and watery eyes, I lost it. Guilt swam through my veins and clouded my thoughts. I felt so frozen, I just stood there staring at her eyes that wouldn't meet my gaze.

"Hey" She answered Tay in a hurt and angry tone, seeing her like this is killing me.

I should have tried to make things work between us when I had the chance. But no, I just let her slip away. Thinking I can go through life with just being Friends with Benefits.

"Hey, Jae you alright?" I pathetically said, of course she isn't alright. I mentally started to strangle myself.

That was only one out of a billion questions I wanted to ask her right now. Do you still like me at all? Can we start over? And I wanted to tell her that I love her so much, and I miss her more than ever, and whatever else comes out of me.

I looked in her eyes one more time, hoping she'd look back and in some way see how I feel and what I wanted to tell her. No luck.

She ran out of the school's parking lot.

Every atom of me yelled to run after her. Despite that, I stayed put. FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.

Taylor gasped, more mockingly than surprisingly. Katie ran after her best friend, leaving me to deal with Taylor myself. Fan-fuckin'-tastic.

"Why?" I half glared at Taylor.

She didn't answer me instead she took a step closer to me, wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a kiss. I fought hard not to kiss back, I really did. But I was reminded as to why I agreed to go out with her in the 1st place and kissed back more willingly than I planned to.

It took all my strength to think about pulling back, and still failed. But as soon as I pictured Jae's hurt brown eyes, I pulled back like it was a reflex action.

"Why? What's wrong babe?" Tay asked trailing her black painted fingernail down my chest.

I considered saying nothing, and going back to kissing her soft apple-flavored lips. But the part of me who's concerned about Jae was stronger.

"I asked first, why are you doing this to Jae? She's been nothing but nice to you since you first stepped foot in this school, she saved your ass from feeling like the awkward, unwanted new girl." I shot back furiously.

She shrugged.

"Why'd you agree to going out with me then?" She shot back.

"You seduced the fuck out of me in Sydney!" I yelled, causing a few heads to turn. Great now I got myself an audience.

"So? If you really cared about Jade you would've done otherwise!" She yelled back, letting go of a few fake tears.

"Yeah" I said more calmly than I'd expected, then took a deep breath.

"Consider this a delayed response as to what I should have said, we are done. And you can forget that the two weeks we had together ever happened. And if you hurt Jae ever again, I'll make you regret everything. From transferring to Canterbury High, to this day. No scratch that, I'll make you regret you ever existed." I said in a hushed but stern tone, okay so the last line was a little too harsh, but right now? She deserved it.

With that being said I walked past the gossiping students and into my school's front doors.

Cussing to myself, I remembered that today was the 1st day of Junior year, which meant I have no idea what my schedule was, I don't have the books I need and I don't have my locker number. Great, and I'm already way past the Admission Office. I just want to sulk in my 1st class, I'm in no mood to walk, much less talk to our bitchy Administrator. But I have no choice.

Upon turning around, I caught a good glance at the staring people in the hallways. Word travels fast in this school. Other than a couple of nasty looks from people who appear to side with Taylor, nothing else really happened on the way to getting my stuff from the AO.

I found my locker which was number 1022, punched in my code and stuffed all my things in. I checked my class schedule and found out I had Math up first, Science 2nd, Homeroom 3rd followed by lunch, then gym and lastly English. I wondered why I took gym class, I hated it.

I prayed hard that I didn't have any classes with Taylor, I needed time away from her.

"Please let this year go by smoothly" I whispered to myself then shut my locker closed. And headed to Math which was just beyond the hallway my locker was at.

Thoughts and memories of Jae never leaving the back of my mind.

I was in for a loooooooooooong day.
