It All Started With A DARE •82•
Kayden's POV.I was lying down on my bed with my eyes fixed on the colored bob in my room. I had to go to school, I know, but I couldn't find the strength to get out of bed to start dressing up, not when I knew that I would not be able to talk with Jade, my Jade. That alone was killing me. Dad was still unable to get the person that shot at us and that is a million and one reason why I have to avoid her. Being with me was trouble, sometimes, one just has to get hurt to keep the person he loves safe. I'm protecting her with everything in me.I rolled over my bed to face the side of my room and I remember the time we were returning from the karaoke, she had said that there was something in the woods, what if the shooter had decided to shoot her because she noticed him? Maybe the bullet must have gone through her blood and, and...... No, God forbid! I quickly rebuke the thought, she cannot die on me, never! That was why I had to protect her with everything in me.I had intentionally told

Jade's POV.I rushed out of my room and at the same time strapped my bag on my shoulders. I met my parents in the kitchen, "I have to go now, bye Mom, and you too Dad." I pecked their cheeks."Better get to talk to that boy before you think of returning here in the afternoon," Mom told me, anger was slightly showing in her voice and I gasped."Mom!""Don't mind your mother, she is still very angry that you left the serving for her to attend to Kayden's friends yesterday, you should have known her by now. Now, run along, so that you won't be late." Dad said to me."Thanks, Dad." I pecked Mom's cheek again and watched her trying to hide her smile. I chuckled and ran out of the house. I flapped down a cab and entered, after calling the name of my school to the cab driver, he drove off.I got to school and the first place I ran to was the parking lot, I went to check if Kayden's car was there but none of the cars in the parking lot looked like his. Maybe he is not in school yet, or bette

Jade's POV.It was a few days after Kayden's words of avoiding me and I just realized that he was dead serious. He meant it. For the past few days in school, he had been avoiding me badly and he even missed classes before he didn't want to see me. His reason must be really serious. I texted him every minute and he refused to reply to my messages, though he read them, I'm sure he did, he just didn't reply to them, also, my calls, he didn't pick up any of it and it was frustrating.Then, there is Athena, who challenged me would get Kayden back, she never meant a second in school to laugh at my face, especially the times that I would be chasing Kayden behind and he would turn a corner and just disappear, or mix with the crowd. I was almost going insane and can't he see that I was becoming distracted?I remember when I was been questioned in class, for the first time in my life, I couldn't answer a question, I knew the answer, but at that moment, my head was blank, I almost spilled it ou

Kayden's POV.Ignoring Jade had been difficult, the most difficult thing I had ever done in my life. I missed them so much and I regretted my actions toward everybody but I couldn't go to her, Dad had still yet to find the person who was trying to kill me, which meant that my life was still in danger and so was Jade's. If I keep her closer to me, she would only be hurt and who knows, we might not be so lucky next time, the bullet can take her and she would suffer severe pain, which she doesn't deserve.I wasn't expecting her to punch my gut, but damn! She did! I'm dating the craziest girl ever and apparently, she is still the sweetest.I kissed her with all the hunger in me, all the ones I had been keeping in since those past days when I was blindly ignoring her. Just as she said, I couldn't sleep too, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything without seeing her face, her smile and I longed to touch her. Every time she ran after me to talk to me, I would hide and secretly watch as she t

Jade's POV.I was finally happy, very very happy that Kayden and I are back together. After that day in school, all the drama and all, we were back together to how we were before, even closer, though Kayden still got his fears I know that everything would be okay, nothing can go wrong, not when I am ready for any shit. Like I'm that powerful.Since we reconciled, we have never gone out at night, since he had no idea when we might be attacked again and nights are always the best time for the wicked people to work. It was another weekend, I was in my parents' restaurant, helping them attend to some customers as I took orders for them with a smile on my face, knowing fully well that Kayden would already be on his way to the restaurant. He wants to spend the full day with me which I love. I was clad in a white half-songlet and pink palazzo, I matched it with a white five-inch spike heels. I had dropped my white demi jacket on the hanger to prevent it from staining when I was busy servin

Kayden's POV.Oh no! I watched as the missile was been shot with my eyes focusing on both the road and the missile as it approached us. "Kayden, we're going to die!" Jade shouted, her fears escalating and I was scared too.I was trying to reason like all those actors in movies and when I thought that it was time, I maneuvered the car to the left, driving into the woods and we escaped the missile, it hit the road and exploded. The effect from it lifted our car from the floor from its butt, but I was able to bring it down again."Oh my God! It's a narrow escape!" Jade shouted again. "You're good, Kay." She teased.I glared at her. She still had time to tease when our lives were on the lane. "Pick my phone and call Maxwell." Maxwell was the head of the guard Dad assigned to guide me. I don't know what was taken them too long to take down a fucking car, will they wait til we die? I tried to check the route we were going in the GPS, but it was skipping, there was no service in the woods.

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
