Oh my gosh, guys. I am so so so so SO sorry! I had written half of the 4th chapter and then I went on a vacation to a lake house without saving the data. My internet froze up and I somehow lost the forth chapter! :( I'm sorry if you guys are mad, you have every right to be. But I was at the lake and all and depression was really catching up to me so I felt a bit discouraged and couldn't get myself to write this chapter. Now I am at home again and I'm going to write this chapter even if it kills me!
But anyway, this chapter will be mostly in Jordan's point of view (POV). I'm really excited for this chapter :D Please, do have a good day and enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 4: New Friend, Old Problem
**Jordan's POV**
The sweet aroma of popcorn flooded my apartment as I set down a bowl of the snack on my coffee table. I beamed at my work. In less than 15 minutes I had managed to pile snacks - like coke, sprite, popcorn, candy, etc. - on the coffee table between my giant TV and my white couch. I made a quick glance at the clock. 8:53 pm. I still have 7 minutes? Wow. I thought, expecting it to be 9:00 already. Scavenging through the cabinet beneath the flat TV, I found the movie 2012 and grinned.
"Yes..." I smirked evilly. "Best comedy/suspense film there is."
I set the movie down back in the cabinet, expecting to surprise Kate when I pulled out the movie. I perked up when there was a knock on my door. It was 9:00. It took me 7 minutes just to find a movie? My mind reeled as I walked to the door, trying to force down the nervousness now threatening to overcome me. I opened the door and smiled as I came face-to-face with Kate. She was wearing a casual black t-shirt and dark-blue jeans. I motioned for her to come in.
After giving her a short tour of the place, I showed her the living room and she sat on the couch. She eyed the snacks before her with an expression I couldn't comprehend. Deciding to ignore her expression, I walked to the TV stand and pulled out 2012. Kate tilted her head and I grinned, making sure she didn't see the movie.
"So what movie are we watching?" Kate asked.
"2012," I said casually.
"Ohh, I've never seen that one. What's it about?" Kate sat on the edge of the couch.
I scoffed. "You've never seen 2012?"
"Nope." Kate shook her head.
"Well...just watch and you'll see what it's about." I suggested, popping in the movie.
I sat down next to Kate and set the popcorn bowl in between us. Kate grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate one piece at a time. At one point I thought I saw her grimace. As the movie started, I grabbed a can of Coke-a-Cola and opened it, taking a sip. I held it for a while until my hand started to freeze due to the can still being cold. I set it on the table as the movie inched on. At one point in the movie, when the music had stopped and it was quiet, I saw Kate lean in, eager to find out what was going to happen. She jumped and gasped when who-knows-what happened. Must have been when the ground was cracking. I wasn't really watching.
I reached to get some popcorn but my hand recoiled when it accidentally collided with Kate's hand. After waiting for her to get her popcorn, I grabbed and handful and stuffed it into my mouth. I don't know why, but I saw Kate flinch. Shrugging off my wondering thoughts, I grabbed a bag of warheads from the coffee table and turned to Kate.
"Want one?" I asked, holding up a few to Kate.
She smiled and two out of my hand. "Thanks." She said, attention falling back on the movie. I saw her face twist as she popped the candy into her mouth. Her face slowly got back to normal as the sour candy became sweet.
Jordan stifled a smile and turned to the movie, seeing that it wasn't even to the first hour. He silently sighed and popped a war head into his mouth. These are gonna be the longest 2-and-a-half hours of my life... He thought. He glanced at Kate. But they might not be that bad.
2 hours had passed and the movie was almost over. It was at the part where the dog was crossing that beam to get into the boat or what ever you'd call it. I saw Kate tense next to me as the dog pranced on the beam towards its blonde owner. I grinned and chuckled as I heard Kate let out a sigh when the dog made it. I started laughing when the blonde gave the finger to someone. Kate joined me in my laughing fit as I set the now empty popcorn bowl onto the coffee table (which was now swiped clean due to us going on a sugar spree an hour ago).
It got to the whole "intense water scene" and I stopped watching, seeing the movie almost a million times. In no time, the credits started rolling down the screen. I stood up and stretched, yawning in the process. Kate did the same as I and then slumped over in tired sort of way. She smiled at me; a smile in which I gladly returned.
"Thanks for this, Jordan. It was a really good movie." She thanked.
I opened my mouth to reply but there was an urgent knocking at my door. I groaned in frustration. "Who could that be? It's 11:30 at night!" I muttered, walking to my apartment door.
I slid the door open and someone jumped on top of me, screaming, "HELP! HELP! THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME!"
I grimaced at the yell and looked up to come face-to-face with Nick. I shoved him off of me and shut the door. Getting up, I dusted myself off. Nick looked at me with a knowing look and I sighed, extending my hand. He grinned and grabbed my hand, pulling himself up. I raised my eye brows as he dusted himself off.
"So...what about killing you?" I gave him a smirk as he gasped for some air.
"Fan girls. Lots of fan girls," Was all Nick had to say for Jordan to understand.
"Yeah, the place is crawling with them." I mumbled. Then I remembered that Kate was still here.
**Kate's POV**
I waited awkwardly in the living room as Jordan did what ever. I heard some voices then Jordan called my name. I slowly inched to the front door and saw some guy with Jordan beside him. The guy whispered something into Jordan's ear, earning a harsh scowl from him. Biting my lip, I stood there awkwardly.
"Uh, Kate, this is my friend, Nick. Nick, this is Kate." Jordan introduced.
I extended a hand but Nick just laughed. "Oh please, that's no way to greet someone." He shoved his hands into his pockets. "It's not like I'm some mature adult."
I chuckled and smiled at Nick. "Fine, fine. It's not like I am either."
"Ooo," Nick grinned, earning another scowl from Jordan.
I raised my brows at Jordan and then suddenly felt sick. Trying my hardest to push down the utter feeling, I leaned against the wall dizzily. I have to throw up. My face grew heated but cold, then heated again; it was the terrible feeling of your face becoming pale. My legs started shaking and I suddenly felt weak and vulnerable. Next thing I knew, Jordan and Nick were running towards me as I slipped into darkness, the only working sense being my hearing.
"Kate?" I heard Jordan's voice. "Kate!?" He asked louder.
"Dude, I think she fainted at how sexy I am." I heard Nick chuckle, but his laughing was stopped immediately.
"This isn't funny, Nick. She could be hurt." Jordan's tone sounded serious, yet worried. "Here, help me."
"Set her on the couch, I'll get some water..." Jordan's voice started to fade. The last thing that was audible was "DUDE, WHAT THE HELL"
**Jordan's POV**
"DUDE WHAT THE HELL!" I yelled as I saw Nick smother whipped cream onto Kate's hand. I grabbed the whipped cream from his hands and glared at him.
He shot me the I-didn't-do-anything smile and said, "What's wrong, Jordan?"
"You." I sighed, face palming.
"Oh, come on. We can't do one little prank on your girl friend?" Nick grinned.
"She isn't my girlfriend." I growled in a warning tone.
Nick's grin grew wider. "So you wouldn't mind me dating her!?"
"Yes, I would." I said.
"Ohh, Jordan's got himself a crush?" Nick teased.
Nick the Troll. I thought, scowling my friend. "No." I couldn't help but blush a little.
Nick wasn't buying it, mostly because of my red face. "Admit it. You adore her." Nick teased with shining eyes. "But...if you don't want her, I could have her."
I rolled my eyes. "No, dude. That would be awkward if my best friend was dating my neighbor."
Nick shook his head as I started cleaning the whipped cream from Kate's hand. Nick sat on the floor and I sat down next to him.
"Wanna okay truth or dare?" Nick asked.
"There are only two of us." I said, raising a brow.
"I could arrange more people to join." Nick grinned, getting out his phone. He dialed a number. "Hey, yeah, Adam. Hey! How's it going? That's good. Yeah, I'm good. So, I was wondering if you, Ty, and Jason would like to play truth or dare with me and Jordan. Yes, I know it is almost 12, but please? You guys are leaving California in two days! PLEEEAAAAAAAAAA- Thanks!" He hung up.
I looked at him, brows raised. "Uh...Nick?"
"They're coming over soon." Nick grinned at me as I rolled my eyes.
"This is unheard of...Adam, Ty, and Jason coming over in the middle of the night just to play truth or dare?"
"Well...it took convincing..but I heard Jason say something in the background, then Ty said something and Adam finally agreed as I started doing the infinite plea." Nick grinned at my glare.
30 minutes passed and a knock fell on my door. I got up and walked to the door, opening it to relieve the 3 YouTubers.
"I still can't believe you guys agreed to this. It's the middle of the night and I have a friend passed out on my couch." I muttered the last part.
"Woah, did he get drunk or something?" Jason laughed.
I rolled my eyes. "He is a she. And no, she didn't get drunk. She...well it's a long story." I shook my head to clear some thoughts.
All of the sudden Nick ran to me yelling some gibberish. After a minute of calming down, he yelled, "KATE IS WAKING UP."
I bit my lip and shut the door behind the 3 confused YouTubers who had just arrived. I ran to the living room to be greeted by a confused Kate.
"What the hell..." She was groaning, rubbing her head. "Did I pass out? I'm soo sorry Jordan. It's hard to explain, it's just that I-"
"Woah, who's she?" I heard Jason ask from behind me.
"My neighbor." I answered. "Look, Kate, it's fine. Uh...wanna play truth or dare?"
Ugh, crappy chapter, I know...but the next chapter will be a bit better. I'm getting some more inspiration :) Keep reading! Feedback is appreciated!
Oh, and by the way: Adam is SkydoesMinecraft, Ty is DeadloxMC, Jason is MinecraftUniverse, and Nick is Nfen. (If anyone was confused with that)
Have a very nice day! Bye bye!
