The Slumber Party

Eight

“Who in the world made a video of this?” I said to Jaxen who was seated right in front of me.

“I have no idea but I’m sure it’s something the girls would do. The boys would never try this” Jaxen said. My eyes were already aching from tears.

“Jaxen can we like go away from here. I feel suffocated” I held onto Jaxen’s arm. I wasn’t myself right now, I felt as though I was gonna die.

“Let’s go through the school pool door, I’m pretty sure many students must have seen the video by now” Jaxen said and I nodded. We walked into the schools pool and made a run for it outside. We headed towards jaxens GTR and he drove me away from school. I couldn’t bare all the tension within me and I needed rest.

“Why is this happening to me?” I sniffed. I was crying, I felt really sad. What wrong could I have done to them to deserve this much disgrace. This was too much.

“Don’t cry, I’ll make sure the post is deleted from the school gossip app” Jaxen assured me with a smile on his face.

“Thank you” I sniffed again.

“Let’s go out somewhere to cheer you up and I know just the right place for that” he said.

“Let’s just stay in the car, I don’t wanna go anywhere” I said.

“I’ll promise you’ll love this place, it’s the best place in the world accordingly to me, let’s just go” he said and I nodded with another sniff. He drove in an average speed to our destination which was unknown to me. I actually began feeling relaxed a little and I decided to cool down a little by laying my head comfortably on the chair in the car.

“We’re here” Jaxens voice interrupted my moment with Silence and just the breeze.

“Where is this place?” I asked. We were before the ocean, or that is what it looked like to me. But I want sure, it looked really beautiful. It was like an ocean garden.

“It’s my Dads, I know you must probably be wondering how we own an sea” he chuckle because I nodded for it was my next question for him.

“My dad bought as a gift for my mum from the Government. He made it out of her most favorite things in the world, A garden, seas, and animals” he said, he breathed in and out and the smiled again.

“Let’s get down, we do not want to miss out on the waves do we?” He said and I nodded in agreement. I hopped down from the car along with him and he strolled over to the bonnet and pulled it open and brought out a mat and an umbrella.

“Let’s go” He smiled at me. We walked over to the sandy grounds of the beach and took a a sit close to sea.

“Alright let’s get to know each other, what’s your full name?” Jaxen asked.

“Ashley Xavier Romano” I said and he made an o with his lips and I chuckled. “What’s yours?”

“Jaxen Paul Smith” He said.

“Cute” I muttered. “So you stay with your dad huh?” He asked and I nodded.

“I stay with my dad and step mum” he said while fiddling with the sand.

“My mum and dad are divorced, and I hate my mum” I said.

“Why do you hate her?” He asked curiously.

“When I was young mum was drunkard. All she did was to drink and act stupid so my dad divorced her and she ran away with me, all my life I’ve had to leave with her like a prisoner” I said with little tears making their way out. He stretched his hand forward and wiped it slowly.

“It’s okay, we all go through stuffs in life. My mum is dead, she committed suicide” Jaxen said while at the water which was kind reaching our legs.

“Wow I’m sorry” I held his hand and he smiled.

“I was only seven years old when I watched her kill herself. My mum shot a gun at herself and died” he said, his voice held so much emotion which got me giving him a hug.

“It’s okay, now we’ve got each other and I promise to be a good friend and I’ll always stand by your side” I said and he turned and smiled at me.

“Well wow, I’ll drop you home. It’s almost six, my mum must be worried sick by now” he said and I couldn’t agree more. I was even feeling sleepy.

“Yeah let’s go” I said and he smiled. He helped me up and we walked over to his Car and took our sit. He drove me home calmly while location by Khalid played on the radio.

I’m not less than ten minutes, I was home. I got down from the car and gave him a hug and waved him goodbye. I took in deep breaths before entering into the house.

On my arrival at the door step, I could hear two people laughing. One was my dads and other was a woman’s. I still entered into the house anyways and my eyes met with that of a person seated in a blue a shirt and a grown trouser. He had a smirk on his face while staring at me, yeah it was Cole.

“Ashley darling, you’re back?” My dad said. I didn’t even look at him, I was still staring at Cole.

“Yeah dad, I will be heading upstairs now I need to change” I said, I looked over at the woman sitting beside my father and greeted her.

“Before you leave, Meet Cole, he’ll be staying here with us for some weeks”

My dad said and my jaw instantly dropped.

“Why!?” I couldn’t control my tone and that came out rude.

“His parents are going out of town and he needs company” My dad said. He gave me the better shut your mouth up look and I simply smiled at Cole.

“Welcome to the Family Cold” I said before turning Away swiftly and walking Away. This is a catastrophe!!!!
