Chapter 6- Convincing the Red
"Will you...um...Jay...will you go to the dentist with me?"
This statement caught Jayden by surprise and the ice cream fell from Jayden's hands as his eyes grew wide. How in the world she knew it after he had the forgetting symbol activated?
"Em-Em...how come..I used..symbol...then how?", he asked still shocked.
"Jayden, please, I know you are suffering and it is breaking my heart to see you like this. And as far as the symbol is concerned, I escaped it and I know your pain. Jayden, please understand that a visit won't hurt much, it is just gonna make the pain go away Jayden...please"
Emily pleaded with an innocent face but Jayden's fears resurfaced and he just shook his head.
"Em, no, I am not coming...I am not ashamed to admit that I hate dentists...I won't go there!", he said stubbornly.
"Jayden Alexander Shiba! You will have to go, otherwise it is you who will be at fault! You will suffer if the situation worsens...you will squirm in pain if it is not treated in time, Jayden, how can you be so stupid not to understand it?", Emily shouted raising her voice and getting up.
Jayden had had enough. The anger he was trying to control from the time Emily asked him to come to the dentist, came out like a volcano and before he knew what he had done, he had hurt the girl he liked.
"Emily! Just stop it! And I think you know what I mean. I am not coming with anyone, AM I CLEAR? Who the hell are you to decide where I should go and where not? I am, for god's sake, a grown up boy who can take decisions. I don't need your or anyone's help for that matter. And it was a very cheap idea as well as effort on your side to dress up like a freaking barbie to make me appreciate you, prepare the dinner to impress me and ultimately convince me to come with you. Huh? Seriously Emily, you think I am that dumb. So, if you don't know it, then keep it in your thick mind, that I am your leader, I am way wiser than you and these tricks won't work on me. I will tolerate the pain, and it's my problem. And it would be better if you will keep your mouth shut or otherwise the consequences could be disastrous"
Jayden shouted at the top of his voice and thrashed the plate across the room and it shattered into a million pieces. Emily flinched at his reaction. Then he threw the ice cream away and went away slamming the kitchen door and without turning back. The entire time Emily listened with fear on her face. She had never expected to see this Jayden, no matter what. And she was just trying to help, there was nothing selfish in it. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths as her chest tightened and a few tears escaped her eyes. She knew that Jayden was in a lot of pain for this type of anger to come out and she was definitely gonna take it away, take all his fears away.
She went to the broken plate and cleared it all. She then washed the dishes and once the kitchen was presentable, she took an ice bag and went to Jayden's room. She saw that the door was open and she peeked inside. She saw Jayden lying with his face buried in the pillow. He was asleep. She went inside and saw that he had fallen asleep without even changing his clothes. Emily went to him, keeping the ice bag on the table nearby and took off his shoes. Jayden turned in his bed and Emily's breath was caught because she thought that he was up but to her utmost relief, he was still sound asleep. Emily then went and cleared some hair from his forehead and saw that he was sweating badly. She turned on the AC of the room and then went to take the ice bag. She carefully sat near him and put it over his jaw where the tooth was hurting. She slowly pressed it to his skin and saw Jayden smiling in his sleep. This brought a smile to her face as well.
She continued doing it for another minute or so, and then suddenly Jayden's eyes flew open. Emily's hand lifted from his jaw as she stared at him, afraid. Jayden got up from the bed and sat looking at her incredulously.
"What the hell are you doing here?", he asked demanding, one eyebrow popped up.
"Um...Jay, I am sorry for being too much over-protective back there but what I did was not a selfish or a cheap trick Jay. I meant only your good. I hate seeing you suffer. Jayden, I have been to the dentist before and I know it's not as horrifying as it sounds. Jayden, it is the bad tooth that hurts, not the treatment. Please understand it", she said softly, afraid that Jayden would get angrier.
Jayden release a deep sigh and got up from the bed and started pacing the room.
"Emily, Please, why don't you understand? It's not as easy as it seems. Please, let me tolerate it, I will take some pain killers if required but I am not gonna visit a dentist, I-I am afraid, please, let me go. I have shouted at you once before, don't give me reasons to repeat it now..."
Emily now had tears in her eyes. Jayden was being super reckless today and Emily was tired of listening to his unnecessary tantrum.
"Jayden, please stop it now. It's enough", she said trying to control her own anger.
"What's enough Emily? First of all you are going on about my problems and not just dropping it. Are you that immature? Seriously?", he asked still furious.
Emily just narrowed her eyes and shook her head and went and stood in front of him.
"Jayden, what's your problem? I am just trying to freaking help you so that it doesn't hurt you and here you are, all shouting on me", she said through tears now very angry.
"Yeah, I am at fault...yes Emily. You are the one who is following me, asking me to go to a goddamn dentist and just interfering in my matters shamelessly, and you think that I am at fault", Jayden asked at the top of his voice.
"Jayden, I am just helping you. It's you who is overreacting and I didn't dress up like a barbie, this is what I am, I was just trying to cheer you up, not impress you or something. Just please stop this and understand what I am trying to say", she snapped back.
"You understand Emily! I don't need to understand any of this shit. Just leave my goddamn room and get lost!", he shouted and Emily narrowed her eyes but did not move even a little bit.
"I said out! Now!", he shouted again and before Emily could respond anything he caught hold of her hand and pushed her outside slamming the door loudly.
Emily stood there completely shocked at his gesture and shouted,"You know what Jayden! Any bit of respect that I had for you is now lost...forever! You can go die in the streets for all I care!"
With this she went to her own room and slammed the door shut.
"Was I too rude?", thought Jayden once he had changed and was sitting on the bed. He shook his head as the anger returned once again.
"No, she deserved it...after all it's my life!", he thought again and fell on his bed closing the night lamp and falling asleep.
"Why was he like this?", thought Emily as she sat looking at the stars from her window, her eyes watery as she sat hugging her knees.
"He is suffering a lot but I don't care anymore...no more...he is no more important", she thought as she rested her head on the pillow and fell asleep.
