Just Friends

TWENTY ONE.

"What?" Jaden asked, stuttering as he spoke.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair before repeating myself again. "I'm pregnant Jaden, with your child and I don't fucking know what to do okay? I'm sorry for spilling it on you like this, I've been so stressed out recently and have hidden this from you and it just got to the point where it was enough. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen."

He was silent but I could tell that his thoughts were everywhere by the look on his face. This made me nervous. I probably looked like a mess standing there, tears staining my face and eyes the puffiest I think they have ever been.

Jaden walked forward, putting his hands on my shoulder before looking me in the eyes. "Why are you sorry, B?"

"Because this is probably going to ruin your life, you know? I don't want you to stop everything to take care of me and this baby. You have such a future ahead of you, with your music I mean. I don't want you to be held back by a child. Hell, I was probably going to give it away to my dad and Bianca, but then all of this happened.

I broke down. Right there in the middle of an empty park, I fell to the ground crying. I don't know why, its not like I meant to. I guess all the stress had finally gotten to me. I just told Jaden I was carrying his baby after hiding it for a month. There were so many unanswered questions about the whole thing, the main one being what I'm going to do about it and the fans. That plus my fathers passing today, I couldn't handle it all.

I just wanted to go home, get some ice cream, and hide in my room for the rest of my life.

Jaden bent down, resting himself up on one knee. He put his hand under my chin and forcing me to look up at him. "This isn't going to ruin my life. You don't need to apologize for anything. I'm going to be here for you, for us, every step of the way. If you want to give the baby away, that's up to you, but if you decide to keep it I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

That took me by surprise. He is a good person, I have always known that, but I thought he would get mad or yell at me or something. He didn't, which I was so happy about because it probably would have caused me to cry harder.

"But, what about Madison? Your fans? Your parents and family? Your life? There's so much that will be messed up because of this."

He gave me a weird look, obviously confused. "What about them? It's not their business and it's definitely not their problem. I don't care what they think, I really don't. As for Madison, she'll get over it. Our relationship is fake anyways."

"What?" I was shocked at this point, fake? It didn't seem fake to me.

"Well to her it might be real but it isn't to me." He smiled when he noticed that made me laugh a bit.

Am I a terrible person for laughing at that?

"That's kinda shitty."

He shrugged. "Well, my best friend put me in the friend zone so I had to find something to get my mind off of her." Jaden paused before looking me in the eyes again. "But between me and you, she never left my mind, not once."

We were staring at each other know, our faces only inches apart and our surrounding silent and nonexistent to us. I didn't know what I was doing, but I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his.

It felt right, it really did. It was like being with Jaden mad everything feel okay like there was nothing going on and everything was right in the world.

When the kiss ended, we pulled away with smiles splashed across both of our faces. My heart was beating so fast that it felt like I would have a heart attack any minute.

Kissing him was so much different from when I would kiss chase or tony or any guy in the past. With them, it always felt forced and one-sided, but with Jaden it was right. I don't know how to explain it, but it felt like it was supposed to happen.

He stood up, sticking out a hand to help me off the ground.

"So, what now?" He asked.

And that was a question, along with so many others, that I didn't know the answer to.
