Chapter 3: Aftermath
Rayane sat in the sophomore semi looking around. Gregory was getting drunk alongside her. She had a couple shots herself but she was too worried about Angela to drink. "Hey where's Catalano?" Gregory asked Christian. "Oh I don't know where he's at. You know I saw him with that nerdy chick after school? He was telling her some crap that made her cry! He doesn't even give a crap about her. He's just playing mind games with her!!" Christian laughed heartily. Rayane grew angry at every sentence Christian spat out. "What did Jordan tell her?" Rayane grew even angrier. "He said some crap about her being a nerdy chick and what we thought about her. Man her face looked so surprised you should have seen it. Classical." Rayane stood up and punched Christian in the nose. "Next time you talk shit about Angela make sure that you're not around her friend." Rayane grabbed her jacket. "Oh yea and tell Catalano to stay away from Angela!" With that she stomped out of the school. "That stupid whore made my nose bleed!" Christian held his nose and whined as Gregory passed him a million tissues at once.
Jordan stood at Angela's porch. He didn't even know why he was there. He just needed to see how Angela was doing. 'Hey what are you doing here?" Angela's friend Brian Griffin asked. Jordan just stared him down. "I…I heard what you did to Angela. You…you hurt her really bad." Brian was like her supposed to be defender. It didn't really work out for him though because Angela was always getting upset with him. His blonde curls were nappy and were sticking to his face from how sweaty and nervous he was. "Look I don't even know who you are but it's none of your business about who I'm here to see and what I did to Angela." Jordan replied calmly. "Look Jordan those kids at school might think your cool and great but you're a big fake to me. How could you hurt Angela? You do know that she really does like you right? That I really want her to see me in that light but all she does is gravel at your feet like a lovesick puppy while you just kick her away. Is that how you treat someone as sweet as Angela? She's so perfect, so real and you could care less. You don't really even care about her. While me, I stand here endlessly day after day waiting for her to see me. But all that matters is Jordan Catalano. Well I swear don't you ever hurt Angela again alright!" Brian finished out of breath. Jordan shoved his hands in his pocket. "I never meant to hurt Angela. I never meant to say those things but she wanted to hear the truth and I wasn't going to lie to her." Jordan replied. "Yea well you play pretty well with your friends. Making Angela look like a fool. Like she doesn't even mean anything to you." Rayane suddenly appeared. Both Brian and Jordan looked completely confused. "What are you talking about?" Jordan asked. "Your stupid friend Christian. He heard you talking with Angela this afternoon. He saw the way you made her cry. You and your dumb friends could care less about Angela!" Rayane shouted. Brian looked over at Rayane. He never saw her this angry before. "Look Christian is himself. I'm me all right? I didn't make Angela cry intentionally all right? I wanted to come here to apologize so if you'd all back off maybe I can sort this out with Angela." Jordan knocked on the door and Angela's sister appeared at the door. "Whoa!" Angela's sister gasped. "Um… is Angela here?" Jordan asked. All Angela's little sister could do was stare. "Oh hold on" She snapped back to reality and retrieved Angela. And right there before him stood Angela. She was dressed in some red pajamas and her eyes were red and puffy. "Oh hey." I looked towards the floor. "Hey." Jordan looked away helplessly. I saw Rayane and Brian behind him. "Hey what are you guys doing here?" I asked. "We came to see how you were doing." They both said in unison. "I'm doing pretty good thanks." I replied. "Well we'll see you later." Rayane shouted pulling Brian away. "Can we talk?" Jordan finally asked.
I sat on the porch along side Jordan. "Look about this afternoon, you told me to tell you the truth and I told you it. I didn't mean for it to hurt you. I wanted to be honest with you…for once." Jordan sighed. "You just don't understand though." I looked away. "Understand what?" Jordan asked. "You think I don't hear you as well. I know you're ashamed of me. You're ashamed that your friends might talk about you because you've been seen with me. Look why do you care so much?" I asked my voice getting all quivery again. "What are you talking about?" Jordan asked again. "When you left math. You lied to your friends saying that you'd never really like to be seen with me that you know I'd ruin your rep am I right? Huh?" I was getting so upset that I felt the blood rushing to my head. Jordan stood quiet. "See that's what I thought. I never really meant anything did I? It's nice to know you lied to me Jordan. I just wanted the truth." I stood up to leave but he grabbed my arm. "I really do…like you Angela. I know you probably don't even want to believe me but I was ashamed at first. But it doesn't matter to me anymore. Please Angela." Jordan was being so sincere that I was trapped. Either to forgive him or keep living in this hellhole of a life. "I hate this." I sighed. "Hate what?" Jordan asked. "That you make me choose. Always make a decision when I can't. Why do you do this?" I was tired and weak. "Look Angela please let me make it up to you." Jordan got closer and I could feel the heat of his body. I was cold and he wrapped his arms around me. I felt so warm and my heart was racing. He looked me in the eyes and kissed me. I felt it all over. I felt an adrenaline rush. He pulled away slowly and smiled. "Tomorrow… I'll pick you up and we'll go to school together okay?" Jordan pulled a strand of hair from my face and I cried there in his arms. Cried tears of happiness.
