Chapter 3: All Grown Up
Jaidyn ran towards the voice and in a flash had Tyler in her arms hugging him with a
ferocity. "Baby Boy!! Look at you!!" she held him away from her, and looked him up and
down. "Can't really call you that anymore, though can I?" Pogue still sat by a grinning Caleb
like he was in shock. He turned to Caleb, "Did you know about this?" Caleb kept his eyes
on Jaidyn and Tyler (who was examining each other, changes and whatnot.) "Yea she
appeared at my place earlier. I told her to meet us here." Pogue stood up next and took
Jaidyn's arms away from Tyler, pulling her into a hug. "Jaid." Was all he could say. She ran
her hands through his hair, "Aw, Pogey when did the hair come in?" he winced at the hated
nickname but then laughed as he swung her around. "When did you figure out you were a
girl?" She rolled her eyes and sat down next to Tyler. Looking around she noticed one
missing. "Where's Reid?" In all their excitement of seeing Jaidyn, they didn't see Reid slip
away overcome by emotions. "He was just here…" Jaidyn's smile dissipated a little. "He
hasn't forgiven me for leaving…huh?" Tyler placed a hand on her arm, serious now. "You
really hurt him." She shook her head, "Ty, there was no other way. Whenever he gets here I'll
explain it…because it's not like I had a choice."
In the bathroom, Reid stood leaned against the counter. He couldn't believe after all these
years, Jaidyn, his Jaidyn was back. "This is bullshit." He muttered to himself. Almost as
soon as he saw her all the emotions that took 7 ½ to sink, resurfaced in less than 5
seconds. Now she was back and boy was she hot. He fought his urges to run back and take
her into his arms. He took a deep breath and strolled out of the bathroom. From afar he saw
Jaidyn sit in between Tyler and Caleb, and on impulse his hands balled into fists. "Chill," he
muttered to himself. Blocking everything else from his mind, he casually sauntered up to
where they were sitting.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Reid's sarcastic voice seemed to cut through the aura
of happiness. Jaidyn looked up and her breath caught in her throat as her dark green eyes
met Reid's cool blue. Reid was one word. Hot. Broad shoulders, blond hair, and earring, he
looked nothing like she remembered. Reid, being up close to her now, gritted his teeth as
her scent invaded his nostrils. Vanilla and Black Current. Damn her, she still smells the
same. There was silence at the table as Reid and Jaidyn stared each other down. Caleb
felt the tension grow between them and decided to break the silence. "So Jaidyn, you were
goina tell us why you left." Jaidyn's eyes didn't leave Reid's as she opened her mouth to
speak, but Reid's voice over ruled hers. "Yea, ran away 'cause afraid you were goina be
labeled 'witchy'? You know Jaid; accidents like you caused are a rare find." His voice was
quiet yet the force at which he said it seemed to bounce off everything and hit Jaidyn in the
face. She stood up and squarely faced Reid. "If that's what you think then go ahead Reid.
It's been 8 years I thought maybe you'd grow up." Reid smirked, "Yea, it's been 8 years; you
still like practisin' your powers on people? Oh I forgot!" he fake gasped, "That's right! You
caused a fire and killed the last people you tried it on, who were they again?" he tapped his
chin, like he was thinking yet his eyes never left hers. He then snapped his fingers like he
had an epiphany, "Oh just your family, no one you cared about right?" Jaidyn's eyes began
to burn at his insult. Caleb was pissed. You could almost see the fire radiating from his
eyes. "Reid, stop." Pogue was shocked. "Reid, what the hell dude?" Jaidyn gritted her teeth
and ignored the other guys, brushing off Tyler's hand where he was trying to make her sit
down. Why the hell is he trying to hurt me? To get me back from leaving? If only he'd
listen! she thought. Out loud she was determine not to let Reid see that his insult had hit
home. "Still an ass aren't you Reid?" he shrugged, "Rather be an ass than a scared little
bitch running away." He turned and walked away leaving Pogue shaking his head, Tyler with
his mouth wide open, and Caleb fighting the urge to go after Reid and beat him into a
bloody pulp. Jaidyn let out a small laugh, as she started to follow Reid. "Hmm, this should be
interesting." She said softly to herself.
Tyler got up to follow Jaidyn but Pogue grabbed her arm. "Nope, let her go Baby Boy, she
has to do this herself. And if she's the Jaidyn we used to know, I'd hate to be in Reid's
shoes." Caleb surprised them both by slamming his fist on the table. "Why the hell would he
pull some shit like that?" he asked mostly to himself. Tyler answered Caleb with a small
smile. "Out of us, she was the most like him. When she left, he was in denial that he missed
her, you know how Reid is. Now that she's back…who knows what will happen." Pogue
watched Caleb's face for a reaction to hearing that. For when they were kids, Reid wasn't
the only one with feelings for Jaidyn.
