Jordan cuddled into me as we slept, and I found comfort in the warmth of their presence. I stirred awake and, upon pulling the duvet, realized that we were both unclothed. Confusion washed over me as I attempted to piece together the events that led us to this situation.
Jordan began to wake up as well, their eyes meeting mine with a similar perplexity. We both sat up, sharing a moment of mutual uncertainty.
"Did we—Not that I have a problem or anything, but did we have sex?" I asked, my voice laced with curiosity.
Jordan glanced around, considering the evidence. "Looking at it, we did."
Before I could offer a response, the door burst open, revealing Andre and Cate. In an instant, Jordan transformed into his male form, using his body to shield my nakedness from their eyes.
I huddled behind Jordan, his transformed body providing a protective barrier against the intrusion of Andre and Cate. I felt embarrassed, and it was evident that Jordan was doing his best to shield me from further exposure.
Cate, wide-eyed and clearly surprised by the scene, stuttered, "Uh, sorry, we... We didn't realize you were in here.We were just looking ."
My cheeks burned with embarrassment, and I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with them. Jordan, still in his male form, spoke with a touch of annoyance in his voice, "You could've knocked, you know."
Andre, still looking somewhat flustered, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, our bad. We'll give you some privacy."
Cate and Andre quickly retreated, closing the door behind them, leaving Jordan and me to exchange an awkward glance. The room was filled with a heavy silence, broken only by the sound of our breathing as we tried to process the situation we found ourselves in.
"No offence but i don't remember what happened last night."
"Neither do i...."
I smiled at him awkwardly getting out of bed to grab my underwear, i was quickly grabbed back towards the bed making me snap my head towards Jordan,
"You don't regret it do you?" He said looking at me nervously, i relaxed my face realising his uncertainty,
"Well did i regret it all those other times?We're good,now let's get dressed quickly i feel as if somethings going on here " I said reassuring him before jumping out of bed to get dressed.
"So what if you two had sex together? We all knew you were this whole time." Andre said nonchalantly, i burried my head into Jordan's chest due to the awkwardness of the conversation.
"That's not the problem, it's the fact i never black out, i can take a beam to the face and not black out." Jordan said trying to wrap this head around the situation.
"Well storm's a good girl for you and unless it's a black thing that's the issue."Andre said teasingly to Jordan, as soon as he said i got up quickly not baring to hear this conversation anymore,
"Yeah im out, have fun with this conversation by yourself Jordan." I said leaving the room, trying to find Marie and Emma. I walked around this house for a while till i saw them sitting near the garden.
"Storm you have to see this, it's of what was happening last night" Emma said calling me over, i started at the phone watching the tiktok.The tiktok showed us sharing a kiss whilst Jordan was feeling up my body whilst we danced.At the end of the clip, we walked off to a room,
"I literally don't even remember that happening and when did Jordan ever get so handsy." I stared at the video again admiring my ass, who could've done something like this that's the question?
I felt that same recurring pounding sensation causing me to groan out loud, Emma and Marie noticed my sudden change in mood,
"Holy shit, Storm are you okay?"
I tried to nod my head but another migraine hit me this time 10 times harder,
"Should we get Jordan and the others?"Marie asked bringing her hand towards my sweating forehead, i weakly brought my hand to stop her signalling not to tell them.
"Someone's played with our memories." i said before bringing my hand to my temple trying to put ease to my migraines. I got up slowly trying to gain stability, causing emma to give me support with her arm, i sent her a smile as we all walked outside to see everyone else crowded together,
"Guys Rufus is the person that did this to us." Andre said angrily at the fact that he controlled us without consent.
"So what you gonna do about it?" I asked raising my eyebrow at the situation, they all looked at me confused,
" I can't overuse my powers again, i need to rest" i said sighing whilst resting on the chair, i closed my eyes, ignoring the voices in the background, giving myself time to think, my headaches are getting worser and more frequent. I let out a deep breathe, opening my eyes to see Jordan staring at me, i smiled at him lightly. I closed my eyes again feeling at one with the breeze before falling asleep.
I was in a light slumber, seeking solace from the relentless migraines, when a sudden uproar jolted me awake. Shouts and the sounds of a scuffle echoed in my ears, causing my heart to race. I sat up, groggy and disoriented, as the room filled with chaos.
I walked towards the noise seeing everyone Jordan and Marie corning Rufus. Marie suddenly picked up her phone bringing it towards her ear, her face suddenly changed at the information she was told,
"Wait it's Cate ,not Rufus Jordan."She said in panic realising the depth of the conversation. I stood in the corner watching this go on silently, my eyes then drawn to Andre who looked conflicted.
My eyes widened as I took in the scene before me. Everyone was engaged in their own mental battle against Cate, whose eyes were glassy.
"You must be sick as fuck to do that to us" i said making my presence now aware to everyone, i didn't bother looking ar anyone else but Cate. My friend,even my roommate was working against us, how ironic can it get?
"You're a fucking monster Cate." Andre glares at Cate after his memories returns, tears streaming down his eyes. Blood boiling, Andre took the decision to leave, unable to look at her anymore. No one's more pissed than Andre, who now found himself questioning whether his love for Cate is real or just a mind trick. His footsteps echo in the empty hallway as he storms away from Cate, his heart heavy with anger and confusion.
As Cate returned to returning the rest of our memories, we couldn't do anything but stare at her in disappointment. So many words lingered in the air, but none of them had enough energy to say them.
But before anyone was even able to even think about speaking, I felt my anger turned into a growing concern for the woman who had betrayed us. She had extremely bloodshot eyes and couldn't even stand straight, but even then she tried to hard to mutter apology upon apology.
With a deep sigh and a light twitch in my left eye, Jordan and I went. His anger, while not entirely dissipated, is now overshadowed by fear and worry. He kneels beside her, panic etching his features as he gently cradles her head, doing his best to keep her safe and prevent her from hurting herself as she falls to the ground.
In panic, I got up and called for Andre as Jordan and I carried Cate into the living room. Marie stood there in shock, sweat dripping down her face, "Her heart rate, it's too slow, she's dying."
"Cate," he says, his voice quivering with emotion. "Cate, wake up! Please, wake up." He checks for her pulse, which is in fact, slowing, and looks up to Marie in panic. "Do something! You control blood and shit, make her heart rate speed up." He stood up frantically, grabbing Marie's shoulders and pleading.
"I don't think I can.. I don't know how to! I've never-" Marie is clearly distressed at the amount of pressure she's put under. "What if she dies because of me?"
"It's ok Marie don't stress yourself too much." i held my hand over where Cate's heart should be. I took a deep breath, ready to shock her until Andre stopped me.
"I don't want you to overuse your power and harm yourself.Have you even done this before? What if you over shock her?" I roll my eyes and dismiss his questions. So he asks me all of that but not Marie? That makes a lot of sense.
"Nope but let's wait and see what happens."And with that I slightly shock her, causing her body to jerk, while Andre held her head with his hands.
"Her heart rate is going back to normal now." Marie expresses, with a slightly disappointed look on her face, "I'm going to go see if I can get a hold of Emma, I'm kind of worried." And with that, she stepped out of the house.
In the midst of this chaotic and frightening moment, Andre finds himself torn between the love he still feels for Cate and the anguish he carries from her past actions. He knows that he can't just abandon her in this vulnerable state, and his anger begins to give way to compassion.
He reaches for her, carrying Cate to the nearest couch and lays her down while Jordan and I follow behind. As we stand around, wondering if she's going to wake up, Derek walks into the room, still in his pyjamas and points at the wall opening.
