The boy next door// JADEN WALTON

"How does it feel to live my dream?" He jokes. "Pretty good." I joke back.

We both stay looking at the stars with amazement and I was loving the comforting silence.

Stars is also something that amazes me a lot. Every time I'm with friends during the night, I beg them to go check the stars outside. That is if there's any stars in the night.

The silence didn't take long due to someone screaming my name. A familiar voice though.

It looks like...Jaden?

Me and Malachi both look at each other with confused looks and both sit up, looking to where the shouting was coming from. Yup, I was right.

I could see Jaden coming towards us, trying to look as normal as possible. And behind him was Jayla and Javon. I get up and Mal does the same thing when the Walton's finally get close enough.

"Hi, I'm Malachi-" "And I don't care. What is wrong with you Harper?" Jayla interrupts him looking at me. "Hum?" I ask confused. "Why did you lie? You could've perfectly told me you were going to a party." Jayla continues. "I didn't want to make you sad." I answer.

Dumb excuse.

"Well, then you could've invited us, it isn't that difficult." Javon says. "Yeah, it looks like we're not even friends, even thought you spend last night sleeping at ours." Jaden continues. "Can we talk about this at home?" I ask. "Only if it is through text cuz you're not coming to ours. Since you're so happy with your new friends, you're better of without us." Jayla says as they all leave, not even letting me speak back.

"That was harsh." Malachi says. I ignore him and run for Jayla. When I finally get ahold of her, I try to explain myself.

"Okay, I know I was a horrible friend and stupid bitch but I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into me when I said i didn't want to hang out with y'all. I love you guys and I should've just invited you to this stupid party." I say and Jayla rolls her eyes. "Too late. We're going home now." She answers dryly.

She tries to walk away again but I grab her arm. "Please, Jayla." I say. She suddenly got really pissed and violently pushed me, making me fall on the floor and hit my head on a small rock. "Leave me alone." She mutters walking away with Javon and Jaden.

"Harper, are you okay?!" Jenna exclaims panicking as she sees blood coming from the back of my head. "I don't feel so good, no." I answer feeling a bit dizzy. "What happened?!" Soon Malachi got in the scene as well. "We need to take her to the hospital." Jenna suggests.

"I'll take care of that. Grab Miguel and follow me." Mal says. I didn't hear the rest of their conversation and also don't remember what happened next because I just fully blacked out.

~᪥•᪥~

"Harper. Harper, can you hear me?" A men asks flashing a small but strong little on my eyes. "Honey, move your fingers if you can hear me." I hear mom ask. And that's what I did.

I slightly moved my fingers and mom let's put a big sigh. "Okay. Can you open your eyes?" The doctor asks and I try my best to open them but when I do, it was all blurry. It took my time to adjust but when I did, I could see my mom and dad sitting right next to me and Malachi, Jenna and Miguel sleeping on three chairs.

"What happened?" I ask. "You fell and hit your head. You lost a lot of blood so you fainted. Your friends got you here on time." The doctor explains. "How did this happen?" Dad asks holding my hand. "I-I don't remember."

I did remember. I didn't want for my parents to hate Jayla and the Walton's for what she accidentally did. But it made me sad. She didn't even look back to see if I was okay, she knows what she did.

She was just mad. Let's hope she was just mad and she didn't meant it. I really messed up bad.

Yeah, but she didn't need to do that...

And I didn't need to lie to her. Simple.

"Halter?" Mom calls for me. "Do you remember anything from last night?" She continues. "Uhmm, not anything very recent." I answer. But I did. I just didn't my parents to figure out what happened.

What truly happened.

Soon the doctors did tests on me and checked if everything was alright. Hopefully I was amazingly good and in three weeks I could leave the hospital. My friends eventually woke up and my parents gave me space to talk to them.

"She's such a bitch!" Jenna exclaims. "Shhh! Don't talk too loud! My parents can't know what actually happened." I explain and their faces turn into confusion. "Why?" Miguel asks. "She didn't mean it." I say and Malachi scoffs. "Yeah, right. If she really didn't mean it she wouldn't push you to the ground and out you in the freaking hospital!" He scream-whispers to me.

"I don't care. I'm gonna text her and tell her what happened. I know she'll come and see me, then we can talk." I say and they all roll their eyes. "Okay, do whatever makes you sleep at night. But don't let her kill you while we're not here." Malachi jokes getting up and leaving with them.

They left and I sent her a quick message.
