Chapter 7 New Feelings.

Cherry-Violet froze watching the young brunette sleep snuggled against her chest after she pulled the blanket over her. /D-Did he j-just?/ In shock/fear, she s unsure of what to make of this.../there is no...way.../ But she stayed awake the whole night, thinking over and over again, tiring her non-used mind on the three simple words that scared her so, I love you... is it true he says those words? Or is it just his mind saying he is in love with her?

Who knows...

===GX===

The next morning, Jaden opened his eyes and turned around to be met with an empty bed, he frowned she probably ran away, sitting up on the bed he leaned forward his head in his hands between his legs, What have I ve done? tears beginning to fall down his cheeks again.

He didn t know that Cherry-Violet was actually at the door with her ear pressed against it, whispering as she moved away, Sorry, Jay-Jay, but I am not the one you actually love...I could tell it in your eyes... she then began walking down the stairs on her way she passed the aqua-haired boy whom greeted her but she ignored slightly but just said, Apologise to him...

Jesse knowing what she meant by that raced up the stairs to Jaden s room, knocking on the door and waited, upon hearing Jaden mumble out, Who is it? he frowned.

Jay, it s Jesse, I came by to apologise about last night, I didn t mean that to happen.

There was a long sense of silence...

But then Jaden broke it by opening the door, and looking up at the taller boy with a slightly cautious look, A-Are you sure?

Yeah...I just...yeah...

/ How about kiss him on the lips instead? /

Jesse widened his eyes, Jaden double back seeing the other s shock, J-Jesse?

/ ...You re pitiful, /

Then Jaden widened his own eyes, then blanched seeing the spirit of Jesse s dark half appear next to Jesse, while Jesse just stared seeing Jaden s dark half appear, ...U-U-Uhm...

/ ...Hurry up and kiss already! / Johan, Jesse s dark side, huffed but then eyed Haou, Jaden s dark half with a smirk. Haou stayed silent, still angered by what he had seen throughout the last 2 months.

Jesse jumped slightly while Jaden just hid behind the door shyly, Johan? Haou? H-How have you appeared?

Haou crossed his arms with an emotionless expression, / I ve been appearing for a matter of a month now while you sleep, making sure no one tries to hurt you again. /

Oh. Jaden looked down at his feet with a saddened expression. Johan sighed, and Jesse frowned. Jaden then looked at himself and grinned, I ll be back. Closing the door (lucky Haou was leaning against the wall next to the door) then in a few moments opening it again reappearing with his school uniform on, I wanna go down to see the others! Let s go!

~~~~GX~~~~~

They had walked over reaching the beach, Jaden looked saddened upon seeing Cherry-Violet talking with Atticus and seeing another girl, mid-back green hair with a few blue tresses over her forehead, she glanced over and raised an eyebrow with her mismatched (one gold and one silver) eyes scanning the two boys that just arrived, Look at what we have here, Jaden seems to have gotten his main man. She snickered, Shall we take pictures of them?

Lyria, leave it alone. Alexis had stated with a exsperated sigh.

Cherry-Violet never did any movements she just stayed facing Atticus. The elder brunette blinked then looked over to the boys with eyebrows raised, Ah, I see...

Lyria smiled and patted Cherry-Violet on the back, You did the right thing, Chevie,

The redhead girl smiled at Lyria, Thanks, I needed that. She then turned back to Atticus with a serious expression, Back on subject,

He nodded, as Jesse and Jaden walked over to Jamie-Ashley and Savannah with grins on their faces. We ll work on it, so we all in this plan?

/ I also! /

Cherry-Violet jumped slightly then turned seeing her other half giggling at the apple-eyed girl, Hikari, I told you no appearing randomly! Warn me! Atticus and Lyria exchanged glances then nodded finally realizing, but everyone else had stopped what they were doing and stared at Cherry-Violet whom just sighed. Okay, yeah, I m paranoid, I know!

/ No sleep? /

She nodded sadly, then looked up to Lyria whom had her eyes wide open, I can see Haou and Johan... she whispered. Cherry-Violet whipped around with Hikari just glancing over her shoulder and saw the spirits just pushed both boys slightly to make them be closer together. I guess they knew their feelings...

No, Johan just wants Jesse to get with Jaden so he can just fuck Haou to living end. The redhead girl laughed with a small smirk.

Atticus gave a cheeky smile, Then all we have to do is push them together?

Basically,

Lyria narrowed her eyes, But what other bastards that touch Jay without either our or his permission will have to deal with me.

Atticus, Hikari and Cherry-Violet shivered, Agreed.

The three - plus Hikari - turned and watched Jaden, whom was now grinning like normal and didn t tense up when Jesse wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Jesse looked down to the two-toned brunette and chuckled, while the said brunette just crossed his arms and pouted. Atticus then pumped a fist in the air, The Matchmaker is one the case! Lyria and Cherry-Violet just facepalmed shaking their heads watching the elder brunette boy walked over to Jaden and Jesse and got in front of them with a suspicious look.

Never use Cupid when he s in proud mode... The redhead girl stated the green/blue haired girl nodded agreeing.

Jesse had narrowed his eyes at Atticus and pushed him away. Samantha had skipped over to Jaden and Jesse which made Jaden hide behind Jesse slightly just from a slight fright. Jaden! I thought you liked Madam Harmony, not Sir Andersen...

Jaden frowned and looked away, I like no one...

Samantha was about to say something else when Kevin had grabbed her hand and turned her to look at an angry looking Cherry-Violet. The black haired girl stared in fear but was confused on what happened. Lyria flicked Cherry-Violet in the forehead whom snapped her attention to the smaller girl and chuckled slightly. Samantha! Keep your nose out of other s own personal business! Cherry-Violet shouted.

That made the 18 year old girl jumped slightly and her to walk away from the two boys with her cousin back to Alexis and Jamie-Ashley.

Lyria walked up to Jaden with a smile and grabbed two bottles of water from the cooler, Here, she stated handing the boys one.

Jaden smiled and nodded his thanks, unscrewing the lid and taking a sip of it. Jesse did the same then smiled at the green/blue haired girl. But suddenly...

Whoa... Jaden stumbled forwards slightly grasping his head with one hand, Wh-What was in that drink? the bottle dropped from his hand splashing onto the sand, Jesse quickly reached out as Jaden passed out falling backwards.

Jesse stared at Lyria whom blinked quite shocked, What the?

Lyria what was in that water?

It was just water! I swear!

Jesse stayed silent, Lyria glanced over to Cherry-Violet whom was watching curiously, Lyria then smirked, Let the games begin...!

Lyria nodded, Let the games begin...!
