It All Started With A DARE •32•
The next day at school, I was walking through the school hallway and I noticed the awkward stares I was getting from the students.They whispered among themselves and stared at me like I was a criminal and did something bad.“Are you sure she's the one?” I heard someone say.“She is, she is the one,” I heard another girl mutter to the other girl.I sighed and decided to keep my head low and ignored everyone, I was wondering what happened, it's not like I don't get awkward stares from people, I do, but today's own was a bit off.“So, she's the one who stole her boyfriend?” I heard another person say.'What?' My heart was beating quickly for unknown reasons.'Who stole whose boyfriend?' I thought but on second thought, I decided to brush everything aside, if anyone has the mind to say something about someone they would face them personally, eye to eye.I got closer to my locker, my hands shoved deep into my blue baggie trousers.My gaze fell on a poster pasted on my locker and I wondere

I decided to stop crying, why was I crying in the first place? He never declared he loved me, he just said he liked me, so, that's two different aspects, he didn't ask me to be his girlfriend, he never made advances for sex each time we were together, except he would kiss me and that was all.So, why am I angry at him? Is it because I've started to like him more than I should? Because I thought I would expect more from him? Is it because he was the first guy in my life I've gotten to love?'Why am I dumb?' I sighed, the thousands of questions running through my head were sickening.I don't want questions and I don't want answers, I just want to go back to the old normal me. So, why does this hurt so much? It felt as if I was stabbed with a poisoned sharpened knife.I didn't care much about the poster stuff, where they had pictures of Kayden and me kissing, I just had to bear in mind that I'll be a trending topic for the next two to three weeks before it finally goes down.I sniffed,

“Rose, please, can you get us three plates of fries and chicken,” I requested from her when I got to the counter while Ariana and Ivy looked for somewhere to sit?“Sure,” She replied, and I smiled at her before walking over to where Ariana and Ivy were sitting at.“It's very nice here,” Ariana remarked, and Ivy nodded in agreement.Rose came with the three plates and a different mix of smoothies.“Here you go, girls,” She smiled, dropping the food on the table.“Thank you,” Ariana and Ivy chirped happily at her, and she nodded in response, then she turned around with the food tray in her hands.Ariana dug into the fry first and deep it into the ketchup sauce she was given.“Oh, goodness, this is wonderful,” She beamed brightly.“Absolutely great,” Ivy nodded as she ate her chicken first.“How come I didn't know about this place?” Ariana asked herself dreamily while I chuckled.Being in their company was great, and it made me think less of Kayden at the moment.“Because we're living fa

Kayden's POV.I watched how Jade played with her friends on the rollercoaster ride, her screaming, and her laughter were everything to me.If, only she knew I especially loved her and didn't mean all that I said in that video. I hated Athena for what she did, that crazy bitch, it took me a lot of effort not to have slapped her.She crossed the line big time today. I stood not far from the rollercoaster where people were having a great time, I wore a face cap, so that Jade wouldn't see me if we were to pass by each other.I didn't want her to get angry and sad, now that she's getting over her emotions.My phone beeped, and I knew it was my dad calling, he could be annoying and a pain in the ass every so often.I decided not to pick up the call, I switched off my phone and shoved it back into my pocket.I smiled when she reached the lower part screaming, while her two friends were laughing their butts off, I'm happy they could cheer her spirit up.Standing at my hidden spot for a few mo

Jade's POV.I entered my room, Ariana and Ivy just dropped me in front of the house, we had a lot of fun at the park, and it was nice hanging out with them.I walked over to my bed and sat on the edge, I pulled off the hairband holding my hair up, and let my hair fall to the back.I lay on my bed and closed my eyes, I began thinking of Kayden why can't I shush him out of my bed, I thought angrily.I decided to have a warm breath, so, I dropped my bag on the bed, and stood up. I walked into my bathroom, after peeling off the clothes around my body.I switched on the shower and began taking my bath.Kayden's face popped up into my mind, and I opened my eyes immediately. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' I frowned.I quickly had my shower and stepped out of the bathroom, I walked back into my bedroom, then to my closest to pick a big-sized top that reach my mid-thigh.Then, I decided to pick up my phone, Kayden's messages popped up, and I sighed, deciding to open his messages.I saw tons

The next day at school, the sit next to me which was Kayden's seat was empty, I tried so hard not to think of where he could be.I didn't see any glimpse of him since the first period, and now we're in the third period.I wondered why I was being worried about him when I shouldn't.'He doesn't deserve it,' My face twisted in a knot while I hit the tip of my pen annoyingly on the desk.The bell rang, and the math teacher ended the class, after giving us an assignment, he then trotted out of the class.I brought out my phone and clicked on my call log, staring at his missed calls while my heart plummeted, I wanted to call him, but I decided against it.Biting my lower lips nervously, I sighed frustratingly and dropped my phone on the table, leaning back in my seat.Then, I packed my books into my bag and stood up, I glanced toward Athena when making my way out of the class, my gaze met hers and with her legs crossed on her desk, she sneered at me and looked away.I ignored her and walke

“Hey, are you okay?” I asked Kayden, staring at the way his hands wrapped firmly around my wrist.“Yeah,” I heard him mutter, we got into the hallway and the students around stared at us curiously, wondering what was wrong, especially with Kayden.His whole top was soaked with sweat, and blood drizzling aside his head.We got to his locker, and he unlocked it, finally leaving my hands alone, he brought out a black top and closed his locker. He leaned closer to the metallic locker and placed his forehead on the cold surface of the locker and closed his eyes.“Would you like to go to the infirmary?”“You don't look too well,” I observed.“No,” He muttered in a breathy voice.“I would just clean up, I'm fine,” He uttered then moved away from the locker and stared at me, then I nodded slowly.“Okay,” I agreed and took a step away from him, his eyes glistened at me as sadness clouded his features.I don't even know what to say to him.“Jade,” He started, moving closer to me, I can see all t

“Where we were when you knocked out, Brandon?” Ariana asked in awe.“Swears, I would have loved to see you kicking his ass,” Ivy laughed.We were at our spot in the cafeteria, and the whole news of Kayden getting into a fight with his friends because of me and me knocking out Brandon was the last I had expected.It traveled like wildfire among the students in the entire school.“Can't believe they made you into a sticker, especially the part you knocked out Brandon,” Ariana laughed, then Ivy joined.“It's so hilarious,” Ivy drowned more in laughter, then grabbed her phone on the table.“Let me show you,”Ivy showed me the sticker where I had tackled Brandon to the floor, then the next sticker was me sitting on Brandon and knocking him out.“This is not funny,” I gritted and Ariana and Ivy burst out laughing again while I frowned at them.“I'm sorry, I can't help it,”“Me too,”Almost everyone was playing the video, and it was just a surprise the principal hadn't called me to his offic

Jade's POV.I smiled as I remembered what happened in those past weeks. Kayden woke up and his Dad fainted because he was overjoyed, and he was admitted too in the hospital. The doctors were surprised when Kayden woke up, they confessed that they thought that he wouldn't wake up til maybe a year or two since he was so cold and lifeless, he was already like a dead man and they thought he would never make it. He was shot in the chest, the shoulder, and the back, which pierced through to his stomach. He was so dead, he lost almost all the blood in his body and it was a miracle that he was alive and I can't stop being thankful.When he woke up, he refused to let me leave his presence and I was not ready to leave too, I wanted him closer to me as much as he did me. I wanted to be in his arms and never let go. When the doctors saw that we both were not letting each other go, they had no choice but to admit us into the same ward and they would treat us on the same bed, inject us with our me

Jade's POV.I found myself in a dark open space, but I was not afraid, I was walking hand in hand with Kayden. Though the place was filled with darkness, I could feel the wetness of the ground, which felt like flowers around. It must be a flower garden, but I couldn't see it. How did I know that it was Kayden I was walking with? Because I was feeling the same way I always feel anytime I was with Kayden and his hand fit rightly in mine.I glanced at his dark and he chuckled like he always does. I stared away and walked more. Suddenly a bright light showed around and I gasped. The light began to pull me closer and I was willingly following it, it was calling out to me, but I noticed that Kayden was not following me anymore and his hand was slipping away from mine. I wanted to shout his name but I couldn't, it was like my lips were sealed. I took hold of his hand with my both hands, not ready to let him go, but his hand eventually slipped off from mine and the light took me away, and th

Author's POV.Kayden was surprised to see his uncle standing right behind Jade, what was he doing there? And in a place like this. He thought."Uncle Theodore?" He had to ask again to confirm that he was not seeing in twos."Kayden, Kayden, Kayden, my favorite nephew." Theodore spoke in a singsong and with each word, he was pulling himself closer to Kayden while Kayden's eyes rose in confusion. "Did you miss me?"Kayden couldn't reply to him, he had his mind clouded with the same question. What is Uncle Theodore doing here? Though the answer to his question was glaring at him he didn't want to believe it. Theodore was his uncle for Christ's sake, the only child of his grandparents after his father!"Why aren't you talking? Still, I'm shocked. Oh no! That is not nice!" Theodore's voice was laced with mockery."Why? I mean, what are you doing here? I... I wasn't planning on seeing you here!" Kayden's eyes went to Jade and saw two hefty men holding her tightly. He returned his eyes to Th

Jade's POV.I felt myself awake but my eyes were closed, I was hearing some disturbing voices in my head, and I almost thought that it was Mom and Dad who were planning a prank on me. I tried to lift my hand to wipe the dizziness off so that I could be able to open my eyes but I couldn't raise my hands, none of them was raising and I feared, what's happening to me? Why are my hands stuck? I didn't have answers to my questions so I decided to pick the words the people around me were saying.".....she is still asleep, why the hell is that?!" One of them thundered and I almost shivered, the voice was so loud and daring. Dad's voice cannot sound like that and I began to put meaning to things around me.The event in the restroom rewind in my head and I got it, I was sedated and kidnapped. Damn! That person that flirted something on my face, how couldn't I notice it? One person cannot come to the school to take me, I should have thought of it very well before walking out, I could have peepe

Uncle Henry's POV.I should have known that something like that was bound to happen. I should have known that he would not give up, he would find something to pull Kayden out of the mansion and I should have known that the target would be Jade, my poor niece.I know that since it happened that way, we couldn't have been able to prevent it. If Jade was tightly secure like Kayden was, I was sure that he would use another method like maybe kidnap any of Jade's parents to lure her out, just the same way he was using Jade to lure Kayden. I stood before my sister's house and I sighed. I didn't know how they got to know about the kidnapping, but here I was trying to stand before them as a shoulder, I had to come here first before going back to the mansion to see that kid, Kayden. He is going insane and his father has to lock him into the room so that he won't leave to go to the location of the kidnappers without a proper plan. He would just get himself killed.I entered the house and just a

Kayden's POV.I was tired of staying indoors as it has been days already, but what can we do? Even Uncle Henry, who never finds it difficult to find a culprit, according to Jade, was finding this difficult. Nothing was leading us to him and all the people Dad was remembering were so out of the line, that they had nothing to do with the attacks after George, Dad's private investigator, and Uncle Henry investigated them. They were as clean as anything and I had a feeling that we would not be seeing the culprit soon.After the call Jade. I called Brandon, "Hey man.""My guy, what's up?" His voice was facetious, he was not expecting my call at least not that in the morning, but I was dying of boredom, I needed someone to keep me company before Jade arrived, and then I would chase all of them away to be with only Jade."I'm bored," I told him, "Are you up for some games?""Sure, will be up in a minute or two. You're calling me from my dream." He joked."Lazy ass. Don't keep me waiting, you

Jade's POV.It was another day of school and I was in my room, dressing up for school as I was on a video call with Kayden. He was in his room, under curfew. He was to hide himself from his attackers til he or she would be found.I had taken my bath and brushed my teeth in the bathroom. I had also dried my body and a long towel was tightly fixed around my chest."........are you telling me that you will be in there without coming out til the coast is clear and you're free to leave for anywhere you are?" I questioned him, already knowing his answer."Yes." He replied. "Dad is trying, I'm beginning to pity him," Kayden said to me."I thought you hated him. Remember you said that he is paying for his sin and for being the very worst father ever." I knew he had said that without thinking and now, he was regretting it, I just want him to laugh and be happy. I mean, he is not even attacked yet, so he deserves to be happy.He growled childishly, "I was a fool when I said that, though I will

Before we eat a food, the seller would taste it, before we drink a drink, the guards would sniff it to know if it was poisoned. There was no more fun and Brandon with the other guys did not cease to tease us with it."Uncle Henry!" I opened the car's door and ran to him as I

Jade's POV.I laughed when Kayden told his Dad to leave, but that did not even hurt the man, he entered anyway even without Kayden's concept. "Son, we need to talk."I stopped what I was doing, ready to get up and give them some privacy, but I was stopped by Kayden. "Continue what you're doing Jade, it's more important." He didn't even mind his Dad's presence, he spoke sultrily."You're embarrassing the lady, come on." Mr Walters said and my embarrassment rose to its highest level.Kayden turned his head to look at me and he must have noticed that his Dad was right. He motioned for me to get up from him, which I did. I watched as he stood up and flexed his muscles and wiggled his waist."Thanks, babe, I feel so good." I nodded, I couldn't talk the way I wanted to, his Dad was present and I didn't want to offend him. Kayden frowned and turned to his Dad, "Leave Dad, you're making her uncomfortable."My eyes widened when I heard that. He shouldn't have said it, because my nervousness r
