chapter thirteen ✰

so yeah. we've all got our issues now and I-

my thoughts get interrupted from hearing the door bell.

"who's that?" elmo asks, turning to me.

"i was just gonna ask you the same thing"

i stand up and walk towards the front door and look through the eye hole.

"it's kevin" i say.

"what's he doing here?" jaden asks, crossing his arms.

everyone likes kev now. except for jaden.

"i have no idea"

i answer the door with a small smile.

"hi kevin!"

"hey mars" he looks around me and notices the others.
"hey elmo, hey chase, hey jaden"

"what are you doing here? i mean, it's a nice surprise but i wasn't expecting you"

"i just wanted to check up on you and elmo. how are yous?"

"oh. we're fine i guess"

"i just wanted to let you's know that i'm here for you two and even your dad! i know what it's like to lose your mom because, i've been living with the feeling ever since freshman year"

"and you're a senior now"

"yep"

"oh kev, i didn't know! i'm so sorry"

i pull him into a hug and he gladly hugs back.

"it's okay, i'm over it. i mean, i never will be but my mother was too good for this world and i've accepted the fact that she's in a better place now. so is your mom"

"you're right, you wanna come in?"

"no, i should be heading off. i just decided to swing by before class"

"alright. thank you so much for coming though. means a lot"

he sends a small smile before walking away.

i close the door and sit back down next to jaden.

"what did he want?"

"he was just wanted to check up on elmo and i"

"why?"

"because, his mom died when he was a freshmen!"

"seriously?" chase asks as i nod.
"shit."

"i know. he came to say that he was here for us, especially because he understands how we feel"

"oh okay"

i could see that he was trying to not be pissed off. but he was.

"what? it's just that kev can relate to what happened, that's it! even if he didn't, he just wanted to check up on us because he's our friend!"

"i see. is he important to you?"

this time he visibly showed the scowl on his face .

"jaden, i don't get why you're being so pressed because you're literally the only important person i actually have left, apart from elmo and my dad!"

"um, you down for a game of pool?" elmo asks chase as he nods.

they both stand up and walk away.

elmo most certainly wasn't in the mood for pool but i'm glad he gave jaden and i some kind of privacy.

"shit, i'm sorry. i don't really like admitting to this but i trust you to not make fun of me because of it"

"what's up?"
