I'm Alive!
~ Chapter 9 ~ Feeling Sorry
Question what do you do when your best friend kisses you? Well the answer is to beat the complete crap out of him while cussing profusely. True story.
Anyways after my slight blind rage attack. Zack was on the ground with a already swelling face, but i was to pissed to feel sorry.
"What the hell was that?" I shouted at him as he was rubbing his face griping about how much it hurt.
I waited patiently for my answer as he rose from the ground, but still held a glare.
When he was off the ground he looked at me with a slight blush on his face.
It was then i understood the situation. Zach, my best friend/brother, loved me a lot more than how i loved him. It all made sense as to why he had been acting so strange, but even though i was happy to discover the meaning by Zach's strange attitude. I was also brought to tears inside my heart because i had been breaking his own. What a awesome friend i've been?
"Zach I'm-"
"Don't even bother finishing that sentence Jaden." Zach interrupted. I looked up at him only to find him smiling with a big cheeky grin. I wasn't fooled though i knew he was beyond upset and the thing was he knew i knew it too.
"I know you want to say your sorry, but don't even bother because it really isn't your fault. I mean come on you didn't know."
"I still feel guilty Zach. i mean i broke your heart."
"You didn't break it Jaden. You only cracked it."
This caused me to laugh a little with Zach joining.
When the laughter died down we both smiled but were now at a stand still of what to say next.
"So..."I said.
"So...what's been going on between you and Riku?"
I only laughed at him. There was no way there was anything going on between me and Riku. Well at least on Riku's part anyway. I on the other hand was a different story.
"Nothing were just really good friends."
"By the way i see it of how you two have clicked. I would say your wrong."
"Well it's my business so quit butting in Zach."
"Your my best friend Jay. It is my business."
"No it's not Zach!" i shouted getting irritated that he wouldn't back off.
"Now leave it alone." i finished then began to walk back inside the apartment until i felt Zach's hand yank me back.
"We aren't done talking." He growled give me a cold stare that would send any person to an early grave, but i wasn't fazed.
"Yes. We. Are." I growled back then took back the control of my arm and this time made sure to quicken my pace towards the apartment, but Zach wasn't going to let me leave because he tackled me to the ground roughly causing me to yell out in pain.
"Zach you prick get the hell off me!"
"Admit it Jaden you love him!"
"That's what was this is about?" i breathed/screamed as he body weight was crush ing the wind out of me.
"Answer the damn question!"
"I don't know!" I shouted.
"You don't know."
"Yes i don't. Now let go of me!"
"NO!"
"Zach y-you're not being fair!" i gasped feeling my resolve, strength, and vision almost gone."
"Then answer the question correctly!" He shouted.
"I-I don't know." i whispered than blanked out.
~ 3rd POV ~
The guys were sitting pationatly save for Terra who decided to watch from the window in case Jad-Julian needed help. So far what he had seen would be considered one of the greatest scenes that could be praised at the soap opera quality.
"So what going on?" Vanitas asked.
"It's seems that everything has been patched up."
"How's Julian?" Riku asked sounding worried.
"He's fine. To be honest i would be more worried about Zach." Terra joked while smiling at Riku that is until they heard a scream.
Vanitas and Riku joined Terra to the window to find Zach on top of Julian holding him against his will and yelling at him.
"Oh yeah we definitely shouldn't be worried about him." Vanitas said sarcastically while running towards the door. Ready to attempt a rescue mission, but Riku was already outside and had already removed Zach from Julian. You could tell Julian was physically fine but however was knocked out cold.
"What the hell is your problem man?" Zach shouted.
"His problem? How about yours you prick!" Vanitas shouted while cracking his knuckles ready to start a fight, but Riku handed Julian over to him and merely shook his head.
"But-"
"Your job is to make sure he's okay." Riku said sounding like a dark force had been unleashed and Vanitas knowing better didn't push him and grabbed Julian taking him into the house.
"Will you be okay?" Terra asked.
Riku nodded.
"Don't kill him Riku. You know that will upset Julian."
"I know. I'm only going to talk with him."
"Well i sure don't wanna-"
"Shut up!" Riku hissed as Terra left.
"What did you just say to me?"
"I can't believe Julian claims you to be his best friend when you treat him like that." Riku stated ignoring Zach completely.
"What do you know about Julian?"
"I know everything that he has told me!"
"Oh really you know what he has told you? Do you know how much of a hard life he's lived? Have you seen the scars? HAVE YOU BEEN WITH HIM THROUGH OUT HIS ENTIRE CHILDHOOD?"
"I KNOW JULIAN'S HAD A HARD LIFE BECAUSE I CAN TELL HE IS SCARRED BY IT!"
"But you don't know the details?"
"No i don't but i'm not going to ask."
Zach only glared at him.
He could see the good qualities in Riku that Jaden had discussed with him about. It was clear Jaden loved him even if she wouldn't admit it she did, but the question was how Riku felt about her er him oh screw it you guys know what we are talking about.
"Then tell me Riku what are your feelings towards Julian?" Zach emphasized Julian's name with a slight sound of sarcasm.
"My feelings?" Riku asked slightly confused by the question. So much so that he took a step back.
"You know what i'm talking about." Zach said.
"Well I think he's a really good friend."
"Really are you sure?" Zach asked.
Riku blushed slightly but still nodded his head affirming his answer.
Zach not satisfied with his answer left it alone.
But both boys forgot about the conversation when they heard Julian/Jaden coming out the door.
Julian/Jaden POV
I woke up to florescent lighting and two worried looks that belonged to Vanitas and Terra.
"Hey how'r you feeling?" Terra asked softly.
My response was a groan then followed with me saying.
"I feel like a broken squeaky toy for a dog."
"Man that Zach's a freaking prick." Vanitas gripped.
"No he's not a prick." i said sitting up with the help of Terra.
"How can you say that?" Terra asked me.
I smiled and looked out the window thinking about the good times i've had with him.
"It's-just the way he's always has been." I said with a smile, but then realized Riku wasn't around.
"Wait second where's Riku?"
"WellÉ." Terra began but I didn't listen to what he had to say for I was already out the door ready to kick whoever's ass wasn't on the ground, but both boys just stood there with no cuts or bruises giving me the oddest stares.
"Julian!" Both boys shouted simultaneously as the both walked towards me worried about my current state,but i ran straight to Zach and punch his face.
He fell to the ground and glared but then cowered away when he noticed my pissed expression as Riku held me back against my will. Of course i told him to let go of me but he only held on tighter and told me to calm down, but i just shouted at Zach to let my anger out of me.
"THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO CRUSH THE LIFE OUT OF ME I SWEAR I WILL COMMIT ALOT MORE HANOUS THINGS ON YOUR ASS THAN WHAT I JUST DID." I shouted as Zach rose from the ground and Riku let go of me.
"Well I'm sorry." Zach said completely throwing me off.
"I shouldn't have acted that way and I shouldn't well you know, but I only wanted to let you know my thoughts and feelings about what's been happening and for that I'm sorry."
"Zach..."
"Let me finish. I also wanted to tell you that I'm heading back home and not because of you or what you've done. It's because we'll lets just say Leon finally noticed i left and um heÉ"
"Gave you the hugest lecture you could ever comprehend." i said with a smirk.
Zach laughed as he grabbed me and ruffled my hair.
"Yeah like how I give you them."
"As if." I laughed as i was trying to free myself form his grasp, but Zach only made it harder for me as everyone laughed, but know one noticed, not even me, that Riku was staring at me with one question in his head.
"As I sure of how I really feel?"
~Two Days Later~
We all sat stood there saying our goodbyes to Zach as the train was beginning to board. Of course it wasn't a overall tearful goodbye. Zach said he'd comeback and that he'd bring everyone along with him. Which in all honesty made me very happy.
"That would be nice." Riku said when he noticed me smiling at that thought.
"Yea we would actually get to meet the people that Julian grew up with." Sora said sounding excited with everyone each giving a voice of agreement.
Zach smiled at everyone and said they would all be excited to meet them to which made me smile even more.
When the final call was made by the conductor Zach sighed and began to board the train which in turn made my heart begin to beat fast because in all honesty i didn't want him to leave.
"Zach!" i called after him before he was completely inside he turned around and i embraced him.
"I'll miss you." i whispered.
"I'll miss you too."
He let me go and pushed me out of the train.
The train doors closed and then he was gone.
And i was in tears.
WELL I HOPE I HAVE SATISFIED YOUR NEEDS FOR A CHAPTER AND I'M SERIOUSLY SORRY THAT I WAS SUCH A BAD AUTHORESS, BUT FEAR NO MORE MY HOPEFULLY STILL LOVELIES! I'M ALIVE AND WELL AND GRADUATED.
Until next time!
