"Speaking"

'Thought'

Chapter 7: The reactions

We continue this story by turning in on the gang (Jaden's friends.)

-With Gang-

**Normal P.O.V**

"So Jaden really is Haou Gold…. So COOL!" Hassleberry exclaimed while walking with the rest of the gang after the concert finished. "How is… that cool…he kept a…. BIG SECRET… from us!" Syrus said almost hyperventilating. "Syrus calm down I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation on why Jaden kept this from us" Alexis said trying to calm Syrus down because they were really close to the Silfer red dorms.

-Inside Jaden's Dorm Room-

You can see Jaden pacing back and forth worrying about what his friends thought of the situation.

**Jaden's P.O.V**

'what if my friends don't like me anymore because I kept this big secret from the? Oh man they might freaking hate me because of this damn secret!' I thought while pacing back and forth in my room after the show. As I was in a mid-pace the door to my room opened revealing my friends.

"Haou… no Jaden….no Haou…no Jaden…no Haou…NO Jaden" Syrus said while hyperventilating and eventually faints into Chazz's arms. "Okay so now that Syrus is out… lets cut to the chase…. Why did you keep this secret from all of us?!" Jesse said to me almost screaming.

"Well… the reason I kept this a secret from all of you is because I just wanted to go to a school unrecognizable and live a normal life for at least one year so I could take a break from all of that pop star business" I explained. "So that's why you kept this from us mate…. To have at least a normal life for once" Jim said. "Oh…...that makes sense" the rest of the gang said after that explanation except for Jesse.

"Jesse… Jess please say something" I asked him because he has not been vocal after his outburst since everyone started talking. "What do you think of this?" I also asked. "I don't really know… but I'm not really mad about this but I do need to think about this" Jesse said before he left my room to go to his room to do just that.

**Normal P.O.V**

"Don't worry Jay Jesse's probably shocked and needs time to understand all of this" Alexis tried to tell Jaden. "So you guys are okay with me not telling you this in the very beginning?" Jaden asked. "Sarge we don't care that you didn't tell us because you had a very good explanation on why you didn't tell us" Hassleberry said to Jaden.

"Yeah aniki I don't care that you didn't tell me right off the bat" Syrus said as he blushed while getting out of Chazz's arms. "Thanks Syrus… and thank you guys I just hope that Jesse will come to that same realization as you have" Jaden Said. "Woah what's wrong with you slacker you've gotten smarter all of a sudden" Chazz said. "Chazz stop picking on Jaden" Alexis said.

**Jesse's P.O.V**

"Why didn't Jaden tell me? I thought we knew everything about each other" I thought out loud. "Jess… Can I come in?" I heard Jaden ask outside my door. "Sure" I answered.

"How do you feel about this?" he asked. "Well honestly… I'm a little pissed off about this" I said almost screaming my answer and raising my voice at him. "I can understand that but you've got to understand I had a pretty good reason to keep it from you guys" he answered back. "And what's that?" I asked. "That would be bec…. because I was scared about your reaction to this information and I wondered if you guys would treat me differently when you heard the information and had a chance to process the information given to you… and really I was the most scared about your reaction the most to be honest" he said almost in one breath.

"And why's that?" I asked. "Well what did you want to tell me after I got back?" He asked. 'oh crap I completely forgot about that… well it's now or never I guess' I thought almost panicking in my head. "Well what I wanted to tell you is for a long time is that I love you a lot and I was wondering if you love me too" I confessed openly.

**Jaden's P.O.V**

"And why's that?" Jesse asked. "Well what did you want to tell me after I got back?" I asked him wondering what it could have been. "Well what I wanted to tell you is for a long time is that I love you a lot and I was wondering if you love me too" he confessed openly. 'That was not what I expected him to say! What am I supposed to do now!' I thought while my mouth was hanging open at the news just given to me.

A/N: Sorry as i said earlier, I will try to post regularly of part two of this story... I have enough chapters typed to do so... but I am also going to be busy with school, so in case I don't post for a while that is most likely going to be the reason why... but I will try my hardest to post reguarly... Anyways please review and continue to read... See you in the next chapter...
