Jaden's POV
"GET YOUR LIPS OFF OF MY MAN YOU FUCKING WHORE!"
I froze and pulled away from Alexis, looking in her eyes. She was staring at me, wide eyed. I scratched the back of my head with the grin I knew she couldn't resist on my face.
"Ahhh…," I began to say until Morgan's yelling voice interrupted me.
"YOUR MAN!?" she yelled. I turned and looked at her…in the pool…chasing Brook around.
"Not again…," I muttered. Alexis looked at me.
"Again?" I bit my lip.
"Later," I whispered. She opened her mouth but more of Morgan's yelling interrupted her.
"You're dead this time, Brook!" Mark sighed.
"Will this ever stop?" I shrugged.
"Probably not." I tried to stand up but a sharp, intense pain in my chest forced me back on the ground, cringing in pain. I wrapped my arms around my chest.
"Jaden!" Alexis cried placing her hands on my arms. I looked up at her and smiled.
"No worries. I'll live." I looked back at the pool. Morgan didn't let up on chasing Brook around. I sighed.
"Morgan's gonna kill her Jay-man," Mark said knelling next to me.
"Yeah, I know," I answered. "MORGAN! ENOUGH!" She froze in the water and turned to look at me.
"But…," she began to whine. I cocked an eyebrow and she sighed. She swam to the ladder, muttering some incoherent things.
"What the hell just happened?" Blair asked. Morgan got out of the pool, ringing her hair out when she was out.
"Brook just totally pissed me off, that's what," she said irritated.
"Either way, you still can't kill her," I said. She huffed and folded her arms across her chest.
"Jaden…," Mindy began. I stuck my hands up.
"I know, I know," I answered. I leaned back on my hands and looked at her, smiling. "I'll explain everything." Mark stood up and walked over to Brook, who was sitting on the opposite side of the pool, catching her breath.
"Alright, Brook, get out of here. The pools closing and you're out," he stated firmly. She looked up at him, scowling. He narrowed his eyes, daring her to object. She got up and almost instantly, her lackeys were there, wrapping a towel around her.
"Fine," she muttered. She walked past Mark with Layla, the one with jet black hair, and Kayla, red hair, following at her heels. She walked past me, but not without looking at me lustfully and blowing a kiss in my direction. I flinched. She giggled and walked into the locker room. Kayla and Layla smirked and looked at me the same way she did, just without the kiss. They disappeared into the locker room. Morgan growled.
"Slut…," she muttered. I began to laugh but quickly growled in pain and stopped.
"You need to go to the hospital," Bastion pointed out. My eyes shot open.
'Hospital,' I thought panicked. I looked over at Bastion. Syrus, Hassleberry, and Aster were all standing next to him. They were all looking at me, worried. I looked around and saw Mindy, Jasmine, Chazz, and Dr. Crowler standing behind Alexis who was sitting next to me. Her hands were wrapped around my right arm. Zane was standing to the left of me.
"I don't think a hospital is necessary, Bastion," he said. I looked up at him. He wasn't looking at me. I looked back at the ground. He was right. I should have just told them. But now they found out all this like this…
"Are you insane?" Alexis yelled at him. I looked at him. He was walking over to Morgan and Mark. She looked at him and she and Mark walked toward him.
'What are you planning Zane?'

Narrative POV
Morgan and Mark met Zane halfway. He folded his arms across his chest. If what Jaden said was true, which it probably was, Morgan could handle his wounds.
"You can handle all this, right?" he asked. She knew what I was talking about. She shrugged.
"Yeah, I should." He nodded. Aster walked over to them.
"Handle what?" he asked. They ignored him and walked back over to Jaden. Zane knelled down in front of him.
"We need to get you back to the hotel," I said. He nodded.
"Hotel! What Jaden needs is a hospital!" Blair yelled. Zane glared at her.
"Blair, this is not the time," he growled. She gulped and said nothing more. Jaden tried standing once again but quickly fell back on the ground, wrapping his arms around his chest again.
"Would you quit trying to stand!" Alexis ordered. He chuckled.
"Yes mother," he mumbled jokingly. She smiled slightly. Zane shook his head and took Jaden's arm. He pulled it over his shoulder and around his neck. He looked at him confused for a moment. Zane stood up, pulling Jaden with him. He flinched in pain. Alexis stood up after him. Morgan and Mark walked over to the trio.
"How far is your hotel?" Mark asked taking Jaden's other arm and draping it across his shoulders. Bastion did quick mental math.
"About a ten minute walk from here."
"So you're staying at the Holiday Inn?" Morgan asked. Zane nodded.
"Well, let's get moving then," he said. Everyone nodded. They exited the pool and headed toward the hotel. Jaden was leaning all of his weight on Mark and Zane. They reached the hotel in about ten minutes, just like Bastion said. No one said anything throughout the entire walk.
xXx
Jaden turned out to have two broken ribs.
"Well if his ribs broken then shouldn't we take him to the hospital?" Alexis protested. She was sitting on the bed opposite of the one that Jaden was on. Everyone was in the room, except for Dr. Crowler and Mark. Dr. Crowler said that Jaden should be fine and went back to his room. He just has so much concern for him. Mark went back to the pool because he still had a few things to deal with. Morgan was wrapping up Jaden but she didn't ignore Alexis' question like she thought she would.
"No. He'll be just fine." She finished wrapping him up. She stood up and headed for the door.
"Thanks, Morgan," he called sitting on the edge of the bed. She stopped at the door and turned to look at him. She smiled.
"Later, hotshot," she said. She smiled and she left. As soon as she was gone, Alexis stood up and grabbed the phone. Jaden grabbed her wrist that was about to dial in the phone. She looked at him. He was looking at her confused.
"What are you doing, Lex?"
"What do you think I'm doing!? I'm calling an ambulance," she said. He didn't like that. He stood up, flinching a little in pain, and took the phone from her hands. He placed the phone back down on the stand.
"I don't need to go to a hospital, Lex. I'll be fine." He took her other hand so now he had both of them, so she couldn't call again. Everyone in the room was staring at them.
"Jaden, you have two broken ribs. I'd feel better if someone professional looked at you," she whispered looking at the ground.
"Lex, trust me. Morgan is as good as any professional." She looked up at him.
"What the hell do you even know her Jaden? What does Zane know her? How did he know that she could tend to you?" she yelled finally reaching her limit. She tore away from Jaden and stepped back so she was looking directly at him. Her hands were balled into fists at her side. He was looking at her.
"Let's leave them alone for awhile," Zane muttered to everyone. There was a chorus of okays then everyone left the room. Jaden was looking at Alexis closely.
"What's gotten into you, Alexis?" She stared at him.
"What's gotten into me? What's gotten into you? You've been acting strange lately Jaden and today at the pool…what was that?" She felt tears beginning to brim in her eyes. Jaden looked at her. His eyes softened into concern when he noticed the tears in her eyes. He took a step closer to her but she took a step back. "Don't come near me." Her voice barely a whisper. He froze and looked at her.
"Why?" he asked. She looked at him.
"How do you know Morgan? Mark? Danny? How does Zane know them?" she yelled. She quickly calmed down fearing her tears would over flow. Jaden looked at the ground.
"Morgan and Mark are very good friends of mine. Danny hates my guts. And Zane knows…because I told him." She looked away from him.
"What about Brook?"
"Brook is nothing!" he yelled. She turned and looked at him in shock. His eyes were undecipherable. They looked like a typhoon of emotion.
"Why did she tell me to get off you then?" she whispered. "Why did she say you were her man? Why did she blow you that kiss and look at you like she did?" He looked at her. He looked almost afraid to tell her.
"She's just that way," he said. The something hit her. The argument that Morgan and Brook had earlier today.
Flashback
"Oh, like I should take boyfriend advice from a girl who has a new boyfriend every five minutes." Brook glared at her.
"I can have any boy in the city." Morgan smirked.
"Except three, one of which you want extremely badly." She said the last part in a desperate tone.
End Flashback
"Are you the one that Brook wants extremely badly?" Alexis asked Jaden in a whisper. He looked at her and opened his mouth to say something but then he snapped his mouth shut and nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know how to tell you," he whispered.
"You didn't know how to tell me but you knew how to tell Zane?" Alexis yelled her tears threatening to brim over again. He looked up at her.
"Zane knows as much as you and everyone else."
"And what would that be because I'm still lost. Except for the fact that you kept an old girlfriend secret from me." Jaden looked at her.
"She was never my girlfriend, Lex."
"You don't know how much I'd like to believe that, Jaden, but with everything that you've kept from me, I'm not sure I can trust you anymore." He looked at her in shock.
"Of course you can trust me, Lex! I didn't tell you this because you didn't need to know."
"What didn't I need to know!?"
"You didn't need to know about Brook or Danny!" he yelled back.
"Why wouldn't I need to know about an ex-girlfriend and a guy who hates my boyfriend's guts!?" she challenged.
"Because…" He stopped in mid sentence. He began to think of a reason.
"You can't think of a reason why I didn't need to know, can you, Jaden?" He looked at her. She was finally able to decipher one thing in his eyes, and that was sadness. "Why couldn't you trust me enough to tell me, Jaden?" He shook his head.
"Trust has nothing to do with it, Alexis."
"Trust has everything to do with it!"
"No, it doesn't, Alexis. I just couldn't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because I knew you'd react like this."
"I'm reacting like this because you didn't tell me!" He stood there, in the middle of her room, motionless. He couldn't think of anything to say, that she could tell. He stared at the floor when he finally spoke again.
"I don't know what you want me to say."
"Just say what you think I want to hear!" she yelled. Jaden finally looked up at her. His eyes were no longer a typhoon of emotion, only one emotion: Pain.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. She wanted to tell him that wasn't what she wanted to hear but the lump in her throat refused to let her speak. He walked past her and grabbed his shirt that lay on the dresser next to the TV. He pulled it on over his bare chest. He grabbed his jacket that lay forgotten on Mindy and Jasmine's bed and slipped it on. He slipped into his shoes and exited the room. He didn't look back at me once. He also didn't slam the door, like he was furious with her. He closed it gently, like any other day. But there was something else about the way he closed the door. He closed it so gently that it looked like he was shutting her out of his life. Out of his heart.
She heard the door to the stairs open and close with a thump. She heard the person walk down the stairs just as calmly as Jaden closed the door. She waited, prayed, that the door next to hers would open and close. But it never did. Jaden was the one who took the stairs. She finally felt the tears that had been threatening to brim over finally brim over. They slide down her flushed face silently. Her knees went weak underneath her and she fell to the ground. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed.
'Jaden, my one true love, is gone from me. Forever.'
