Chapter 6

Falling In Love With You

Jaden took a deep breath and turned nervously to Aster and Chazz. What he was about to sing was going to ruin his reputation and make him seem girly. Was it really worth it just to tell Jesse that he loved him?

Jaden didn't have to answer that to know that he would do anything just to let the bluenette know the truth. And if doing it through song was the only way to do it …

Jaden gulped and felt his face grow red with embarrassment. He was really going to sing this stupid song.

He looked over at the other members of the band and gave the signal for the soft instrumental piece to start.

And then he looked down at Jesse, meeting his eyes.

"Jesse Andersen …" he said clearly.

The bluenette blinked at him in confusion, but Jaden wasn't going to answer. At least not with words.

Jaden's lips parted and he began to sing.

(I just can't help falling
in love with you, you, you)

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
(Be a sin)
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows (Oooh)
To the sea
So it goes (Oooh)
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand (take my hand)
Take my whole life too (whole life too)
For I can't help falling in love with you

Wise men say only fools rush in (rush in)
But I, I can't, I can't help
Falling in love (falling in
love) With you (with you)

Like a river flows (Oooh)
To the sea
So it goes (Oooh)
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand (take my hand)
Take my whole life too (whole life too)
For I can't help falling in love with you

Take my hand (take my hand)
Take my whole life too (whole life too)
For I can't help falling in love
(Falling in love with you) with you
For I can't help falling in love
Falling in love with you

Jaden began walking off stage, still singing confidently. His cheeks were a little red with embarrassment but he tried to keep a smile on his face as he sang. He walked over to the table his friends sat at. Everyone looked surprised - even Zane. Syrus' mouth was hanging open.

But Jesse's expression wasn't just surprised. It was a mixture of shock and awe and realisation. That shock only grew as Jaden walked over to their table and sat down on the table, just in front of Jesse.

Jaden kept singing.

Like a river flows
that's the way it goes
I just can't help fallin' in love with you
(Fallin' in love with you)
Like a river flows
that's the way it goes (take my whole life too)
I just can't help it
Fallin' in love with you
Like a river flows (I just
can't help myself)
that's the way it goes (can't help myself fallin' fallin')
I can't help falling in love with you
(Fallin' in love with you)
Like a river flows
that's the way it goes
Cause I can't help

Fallin' in love with you

As the song ended, Jaden smiled at the bluenette, all his embarrassment gone in favour of looking into Jesse's unique green eyes.

Jesse looked up in shock at the brunette who was sat on the table in front of him.

There was a moment of silence from everyone in the hall, and then everyone erupted into thunderous applause.

His friends around him applauded, some still shocked and some grinning from ear to ear at the brunette's dramatic love confession.

Jaden didn't say a word. He just looked into Jesse's eyes.

"I love you, Jesse" he said.

There were calls and cheers all around the room, and then the noise died down, everyone watching the bluenette for his response.

Jesse just looked up into brown eyes, filled with love.

"Jaden …" he whispered.

The song is "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by A-Teens. There are other versions but this was the one I used for the lyrics.
