《Kaytlyn Jones》 "Are you going to give those to Jayden?" Ivy asked in confused while watching me packing some medicines and bandages into a small lavender bag. I nod once, "Yes." She knits her eyebrow, "What’s for?" "Because he got hurt for saving me from the fox....*the memory of that night flashes in my mind*....So I think, I owed him." I zipped up the bag then grabbed my glasses from the drawer. "Are you sure about that?” she asked me along with a smirk. "What?" Ivy sighs while looking at me in disbelief, "You sure that you don't feel anything special for him? Well, technically he was your hero after last night incident, your very own superman. ...*screams excitedly*...Oh my God, you are just like Lois Lane now." All of her words really did make me choking with my own saliva. Seriously, I have no idea what made her think of that? I shook my head, totally disagreed with her, "Too much of movies influence, huh Ivy?" "What?” She grinned. “I'm telling the truth, you know. And he is way better than that jerk, Joji," she added even more. Was she trying to match me with her boyfriend’s friend? "But he's still a playboy, Ivy,” I insisted. “And I don't have any feeling for him, believed me. Not ever...I just want to repay my debt for saving me last night, that's all." She raises both of her hands as her chest level, "Okay...okay...do what you want to do, Kaytlyn. I'm not telling you to date him or anything. But please be more careful, I really don't want you to get hurt." "I'll be fine Ivy," I Said along with a smile. "Don't worry about me." ***** I was not sure which room was his, so I decided to just wondering around the dorm while hoping that I will meet him by any chance. ‘Oh no, not him!’ "Hey Kaytlyn," Joji, the dark brown hair guy greeted me along with a smile as I accidentally bump into him on the hallway. “H-hi…”I replied him even though I really did not want to speak with him after that incident. Everyone might be consider me as a rude person if I did ignore him and it was my job to take care of the Jones’s good name. "Where are you going, Kaytlyn?" he curiously asked me. "And, what is in the bag?" His brown eyes stared at my small lavender bag full with medicines that I brought for Jayden Nelson. I quickly hid the back on my back, “I-it’s nothing…” Then quickly turned my sight away from him. "Oh come on, don't be so secretive with me,” he complained. “You brought food in there right?" I remained silent, to be honest I really do not know what to say to him. "So, it's true," he smiled. "Can I have it? I'm hungry by the way." ‘What did he want from me? He never care about me before….but why now? What is he up to?’ He approached me even more, forcing me to take several steps back from him. “Aww….you’re so cute, Kaytlyn,” my paces then stopped as my back touched against the wall. ‘No, please stop!’ I have nowhere to run from him when his both hands were blocked me on the both sides. He was reeked with the alcohol and the smell became strong as he leaned closer to me. “I really want to be your friend, Kaytlyn…*leans closer*….or maybe…” “What are you doing to her!!!?” He was startled so much as a husky voice approached him from behind. "N-no, nothing," Joji who appeared to be stuttered, quickly released his blocking off me. "W-we are doing nothing,” Karl, who was the owner of the husky voice gave Joji a death glare, “Just stay away from her!” He harshly pushed Joji away from me then pulled me closer into his arms. "W-whoa....whoa, dude," Joji tried to calm him down. "I was just talking to her, that's all." "Don't lie!" Karl was furious and I never seen him like this before. He was grabbing Joji’s shirt with his right fist was about to punch that brown hair guy in anytime. "I'm not lying!" Joji swatted Karl's hand. "Who the hell are you talking to me like that? Are you her boyfriend?” He rudely Said that to Karl. “Pfftt....so you want her by yourself, huh?" "Don’t you dare compare me to yourself!” Karl proclaimed. "She’s my b-friend and I will protect her from a guy like you, jerk!" Joji gives him a smirk, "So, you do have feeling for her, huh Karl?" He looked at Karl with an annoying face with his arms crossed. "I guess it must be one sided love…*laughs*…What a pity…” ‘Karl’ I stared at my childhood friend with teary eyes. I never expected that he actually likes me. Karl never mention about it before and after all this years, I only consider him as a good friend, not more than that. "Just shut up!" Karl shouted with both of his fists were tightening. "What a pathetic guy," Joji burst into laughter, totally ignoring the furious Karl. "What a bastard!" Karl landed his fist hard on Joji's face causing him to fall hard on the floor. "Karl...please, stop," I grabbed Karl's arm stopping him from continuously hitting Joji. "Please....stop....” I begged for Karl to stop while sobbing. I just could not hold my tears anymore when saw him like this. "Karl!!!" I slapped him hard on the cheek which I think that was the only way to stop him from this stupid ruckus. "K-Kaytlyn....” he stared at me in disbelief. I was speechless…with my feelings were all messed up. It was my fault for making him acting like this way. ‘I shouldn’t come here in the first place.’ "I'm sorry,” I quickly apologized to him then tried to run away from him. But, Karl stops me by grabbing my hand, "Kaytlyn...." I took a quick glance to him then swatted him hand away before ran towards downstairs, but I lost my balanced as I bumped into someone again and fell hard on the floor with my lavender back was slid straight towards a pair of orange grey sneakers. "Are you okay?" That voice! "Wait a minute! Are you crying?” That voice was belongs to that person. The blond messy hair guy looked at me confusedly. “What happened?” He even offered his right towards me. “N-nothing,” I declined his offer then stood up on my feet by myself. His sleeve was pulled up a bit as he went to pick up my small bag, revealing his last night injury which already well treated. He looked a bit down though after I rejected his offer, but whatever. ‘That is good though to be honest all this thing happened because of him actually. I should have not concern about him at all. He already got his injury treated and it was well bandaged. You’re so stupid, Kaytlyn.’ "Kaytlyn?" He knitted his eyebrow while looking at me. “Are you okay?” "Y-yes, I’m okay,” ‘Oh God, his cerulean blue eyes makes me stutter again.’ "I probably should go." Before he could not say anything, I already walked away from him, leaving him hanging like just that. ***** 《Jayden Nelson》 "What are you trying to do to her?" I kicked the table in front of Joji out of the blue making all students around cafeteria were looking at me. He was shocked with my sudden rude approachable but I do not care because he just messed around with the Jones’s girl. It made me pissed off of him. “What the hell man?” I knew he was just only pretending, so everyone will see me as a bad guy in this kind of situation. ‘What a jerk!’ "Don't play dumb with me, Joji. Karl already told me everything," I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up from his seat. He scoffs, "So, he told you…” He then swatted my hands away from him. "What a coward friend you have, Jayden." "Don't you dare call him that way!" Both of my fists were tightening, but I hold them since I do not want to waste my energy to beat a jerk like him. Joji laughs maniacally, "Are you going to beat me just like Karl did, huh? Come on....do it now, I dare you to do so." "What the f**k do you want from her?" "The thing that every guy wants from girls," he whispered to me along with a smirk. "YOU BASTARD!" I could not hold my anger so punched him hard on his face causing him to fall down straight to the table. "Don't you dare touch her like the way you did with the other girls!" I gave him a strong warning. He laughs, "Don't you want the same thing, huh, Jayden? That's why you want to get close to her too, right?" "I'm not the same as you jerk!" I spoke through my teeth, trying my best not to punch him again. "Just stay away from her!" "Fine!" He replied. "I'll stay away from her, but in one condition." "I don't want to make any deal with you." I showed no interest with his offer. "Just listen up, you i***t! Or I promise I will never leave her alone." ‘How dare he’s threatening me!’ "Fine!" ‘I will do anything to keep the Jones girl safe from this jerk. She is way too nice to be treat like this.’ "Let's bet...." ***** "Pass the ball to Simon!!!" Mr Garret shouted at us as we were having practice at the soccer field. Joji was running to catch up Zac who was dribbling the ball in front of him towards the goal. ‘Damn it!’ ‘I have to win this match no matter what happen. He will never get the ball, I have to make sure of it!’ "Jayden!" Seth called for me, but I totally ignored him by catching up that jerk who was trying to steal the ball from Zac. "What are you doing, dude?" Karl asked me confusedly as I ran passed him. "Zac!" My pale looking friend who has the ball looked like he was scared as Joji and I were running towards him as if like we were going to attack him. "Pass me the ball." “Jayden!” Mr Garret shouted at me. “We are not playing Rugby!!!” "Not a chance!" Joji purposely tripped my leg which causing me to fall hard on the floor before he stole away the ball from Zac with dirty trick. Luckily, Mr Garret noticed it and blew out the whistle to stop the game. "Hey, are you okay, Jayden?" Simon offered his hand to help me stand back on my feet. I grabbed his hand, "Yea, I'm okay,” then patted some dirt away from my pants. "We have to win this match no matter what. I won't let Joji score the goal, not ever!" "This is just a practice, man " Simon complained. "Why are you so serious, dope?" Seth and my other teammates joined the conversation. "That's right, Jayden," Lee agreed with him. "I have my own reason," I said to them while giving Joji a death glare as he made me a ‘Loser’ sign on his forehead. ‘I'll win the bet no matter what.’ Karl pats my shoulder, "Alright then, let’s play serious and win over that jerk’s team over there." He must be noticed Joji making me that sign too. ‘Thanks Karl….’ "Mann...this is so troublesome," Simon complained along with a sigh. "I'm too lazy for a serious practice today." "Oh come on!" Karl dragged him back to our position. "Don't be such a baby, dude." .......skip....... "Yes, our team won the game!" Karl shouted happily as Garret ended the match by blowing his whistle. ‘Phew.....that's so tiring.’ ‘Anyways, I’m so glad that we won this match and automatically I won that bet too. And that Jones’s girl will be free from that jerk.’ "Good job, my dear youthful student," Garret congratulated us. "You guys have done well which I found it unusual for today." "We just got spirited up, sensei," Lee, my bushy brow friend replied with a wide grin. "That's good," Garret gave us all a thumb up. "I always want this kind of practice from you guys before and you actually....*starts to tear up*.... fulfilled it. I'm so touched." ‘Man, he's doing it again.’ "Garret....." ‘Not Lee too!!!’ "I'm so glad that we finally made you happy...." "Oh come on, guys," Karl complains. "We are leaving now, thanks sensei," I quickly take my duffel back from the bench not far from me follow by my other friends too who getting annoyed with Lee and Garret. ***** 《General》 At the party, "You will regret it, Jayden!" A brown shaggy hairstyle guy murmured to himself. "I will get everything I want and no one can stop me from that." He takes out a sachet of drug out his pocket, "That Jones’s girl and all the Jones fortune will be mine...." Then poured it into a glass of drink. "Hey," a blonde hair girl greeted Jayden as he arrived at the house. "Thanks for coming to my party, Jayden." "Hey Sharon," he greeted back along with a smile. "And thanks too for inviting me. I’m so honoured." "You are welcome," she replied while pouting her lips, trying to seduce the handsome blond hair guy. "Do you want some drink?" "Yeah, sure..." Sharon quickly dragged Jayden to the kitchen, leaving Seth, Zac and Karl who were chatting with each other in the living room. "Here's your drink," Sharon gave him a glass of pink color drink. Jayden felt curious with the color of the drink since he never seen that kind of color before. "What kind of drink is this?" "I made it myself. A secret recipe to be exact..." Sharon whispered in very seductive way. "O-oh...." he pretended to smile at her although he felt something fishy was going on at that moment. He did not know how to decline Sharon’s offer and how to avoid her that time. 'Why I have a bad feeling about this...' He thought before taking a sip of the drink. "Drink it all, please...." Sharon helped him by forcing Jayden to drink all of it in one shot. "So, how do you feel, Jayden?" She whispered to him again, but this time she sounded super seductive. "D-dizzy...." Jayden was barely can open his eyes. "W-what....k-kind of d-....." He then passed out in instant without could not even finish his words. “I’m gonna make you mine, Jayden,” Sharon whispered to the unconscious Jayden. ***** 《Jayden》 "A-Amelia....you are here...." ‘Amelia is here, she is sleeping beside me. She is actually here.’ My hand touched gently both of her cheeks and I was flutter as she replied with her beautiful smile that I missed to see so much. "I missed you so much, you know," she was in my arms as I pulled her closer to me which she gladly hugging me back. "I'm so happy that you finally accept my love, Amelia." My eyes felt heavy again and my head it spin so much more than earlier. I try my best to stay awake so I could watch that beautiful angel who I longed so much, but I could not. My beautiful angel was slowly faded away until I completely lost conscious once again. 《General》 “Where am I?” A blond hair guy muttered with his heavy eyes were looking around the room. “Argh…my head!” His head spin so much as he sat straight on the queen size bed. The room was not too big but it has everything inside; closet, makeup table, and even a couch. The blond guy shivered a bit as the wind from the air conditioner blew straight to his bare skin. To be exact, he did not wear anything, aside from a black boxer. Meanwhile his clothes were all over the floor beside of the bed. ‘What happened last night?’ He tried to remember what happened last night. Unfortunately the memories were so blurry. “Wait!” Both of his eyes were widening as turned to his right side. “W-w-why the Jones girl is here? W-w-with me? A-and why she’s half naked too?!” “YOU BASTARD!!” A brown hair guy suddenly barged into the room with a loud voice, waking the girl up. She was shouting when saw me sitting beside her and quickly pulled the blanket to cover her whole body. The brown hair guy’s face was furious and his chestnut eye color were full with anger. He seemed like he was ready to kill that poor blond hair guy who was so in confused. “N-nno, Bryan….” The blond guy tried to stop the brown hair guy, named Bryan from punch him straight on his face. “You’re DEAD, Nelson!” Bryan then strangled him. “You have to pay what you have done to Kaytlyn!” “N-no…N-Bryan,” he begged more. “I didn’t do anything to her.” “Br-Bryan ….” An angelic voice interrupted them. She was sobbing behind the thick blanket, begging for her cousin to help her. “Take me home….please…” Even her voice sounded crack. “Oh God, Kaytlyn ….” The brown hair guy feel sorry for her. He never expected that this kind of thing happened to his poor-innocent cousin. He clenched his teeth then turned back to the blond guy. “Be prepared Jayden Nelson! You were just messing around with the wrong person…just wait and see!”
