CADEN'S POVI know what she's asking but the answer to her question is lodged in my throat, not coming up and not going down, only suffocating me like those nightmares I beg to wake from and hear nothing in response except my own thudding heart and my laboured breath.Time pass, the question condensing in the air, getting thicker and heavier in its entirety and I just feel so small, s feeling I've avoided like the plague in these recent and brighter times.She sits up on the bed, dropping my hand eventually like I'd wanted at some point, but the waft of cold breeze that cools it off of the tiny balls of perspiration that had built in them from contact, reminded me why this is the last thing I want.She says nothing, doesn't ask me again or try to push me fo tell her about the hellish years that had followed leaving here and the nightmares that had built after it.Just nothing.She just hugs her knees to herself and watches me and I see it in her quiet gaze, the resignation and resolve

It was there again. Sitting on my math textbook was a pristine white paper folded in half. I didn't need to touch it to know that it was thicker than any paper I've held before or that it was rough to feel. Or that it held another threatening message. Dread washed over my petite body as I stood staring at it and wondering what I'd find inside this one. I've been getting this threatening, creepy notes since the beginning of this week and I won't lie and say it doesn't scare the hell out of me. I don't want to open this one and read the fear inciting words I know I'll find written inside it, signed off with with another smiley face. Other students bustled around me, getting their books out of their lockers and scooting off to their next class. I pushed the annoying piece of paper off my textbook to a far end of my locker space. I took the text book I needed out before shut
JADE'S POVIt's probably better off this way though, if he hadn't jolted me out of the day dream that had been my life, I might still be eating my heart out on him.Now that I know better than to be stashing my feelings on my childhood crush anymore.Okay, maybe I still am, but from a distance and it's safer this way.Not like it'll amount to anything.The gap between our lives is so wide now, it can't be bridged.He is who he is and I am........me.It's lunch break now and I have to drag my lazy as fuck ass to that always crowded cafeteria of ours.I sighed out as I entered it, my eyes roaming around, looking for Chelsea.Yeah, she's my best friend now and I always sit with her at lunch, at the corner of the room and away from the crowd.My eyes land on him.He's here already, as
CADEN'S POVSince she bumped into me this morning, my mind have been stuck on her.My Jade.I miss her and holding her in my arms again after all these terribly long years stirred my body in ways I've never imagined possible with her.I hate this rift that I created between us but things changed, and I'm not the same guy I was before I left.Doesn't mean I don't miss her and the time when I'd been just Caden.Jade's Caden.Now she's way bigger than I remembered her to be then, and she's all grown up.With smoky eyes and a mesmerizing small and curvy body that had fit mine perfectly when I'd
