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.
