Jaime's POV
Abel had taken me to the hospital my ankle was wrapped and I now have crutches, I'd twisted it pretty bad. On the bright side I'm out of gym for a couple weeks but that includes cheering and dancing.
When I got home Abel helped me into the house and to the couch he said he left his number for me on the desk in the living room. He told me if I wanted he'd pick me up for school but I'm not sure that it's a good idea but I save his number in my phone anyways.
Part of me feels like such an ass for being mean to him so after supper I decide to text him once my dad helps me up to my room.
Me: Thank you for helping me today.
Abel: Damn for a minute there love I was beginning to think you didn't have manners, lol don't mention it.
Me: 🙄
Abel: Aaaand she's back! That's my girl 😂
Try to be nice to him and leave it to him to ruin it what was I thinking? Maybe some part of me thinks he'll change and that's probably stupid to think.
I get up to go to the bathroom it takes me a moment to make it across my room. When I get out of the bathroom A dark figure is sitting on my desk I gasp.
"H-hey it's just me." Aiden whispers coming towards me. I think it's Aiden but I can't be sure.
"Aiden?" I ask.
"Yeah, sorry I didn't mean to frighten you I- I just wanted to talk." He stutters nervously.
"Couldn't you have just called?" I ask irritated.
"I didn't think you'd answer." He admits sheepishly.
Well he's probably right, I don't even deny it I am mad at him maybe more him then Abel.
"You need to go." I huff. Aiden has crawled up my balcony before and I never lock the doors I'm guessing it's how he got in.
"I can't we need to talk baby I miss you." He whispers stepping towards me I look away sadly, truth is I'm not sure the feeling is mutual.
"Aiden I need some time." I tell him sternly.
"Come on Jay please we can get through this we have before." He pleads.
"Fine then tell me the truth." I growl.
"I-I already told you." He says confused.
"The rest, Abel said-" I start but he cuts me off.
"You been talking to my brother?" He growls.
I'm taken aback by his hostility.
"I told you not to talk to him." Aiden says angrily his expression becoming darker.
"He helped me today when I got hurt, he mentioned that you knew just as much about the accident as he did that you were part of it some how. You lied to me again you made it sound like it was all his fault." I say sternly.
"It was!" Aiden growls.
"Then if you are so certain you tell me." I say sternly.
"I don't wanna talk about it Jaime, it hurts to talk about it." Aiden whispers and looks away.
"Fine then go home we have nothing else to talk about. You think it didn't hurt when I told you what happened to me?" I ask angrily tears escaping.
"Babe-" He starts as he reaches for me.
I swat his hand away. "Don't you fucking touch me!" I growl. "Get out!" I yell.
He stumbles backwards slightly and then looks towards the doors. His gaze meets mine one more time before he turns around and walks out onto the balcony then he climbs onto the railing and jumps.
I walk over to make sure he landed it okay, he did but he doesn't look back as he disappears into the darkness. I shut the doors quietly and then turn my lights off as I limp slowly to my bed.
When I pick my phone up to check the time I see that I have a text.
Abel: You need a ride or no?
Fuck it, why not? It's not like I'm trying to sleep with my ex boyfriends brother.
Me: Yes, please.
Abel: Sweet dreams.
Wow.... that was actually sweet I'm caught off guard.
Me: You too.
I turn my ringer off and lay down in bed turning my alarm clock on the stand to the on position. I cuddle deeper into my blanket and sigh contently. Abel is my last thought before I fall into a deep slumber totally exhausted.
****************
It's seven thirty by the time a knock sounds on the door I get off the couch and use the crutches to get to the door, opening it up for Abel.
"Good morning." He smiles, it's actually genuine.
"Good morning." I smile back at him.
Once he helps me get into his truck we drive off to the school. "I seen Aiden last night." I say and bite my lip not knowing if I should be having this conversation with him.
"Oh yeah?" He asks. "I'm guessing it didn't go to well if I am the one picking you up."
He's pretty damn good at making assumptions on relationships which is sort of strange. "He wouldn't tell me the truth, he said it hurts to talk about." I admit.
Abel snorts. "Hurts who me or him?" Abel asks sarcastically it sounds rhetorical but that doesn't stop me from answering.
"Him." I say softly looking at Abel to observe his reaction.
Abel lights a cigarette rolling his window down slightly blowing the smoke out it. "Right well maybe in a sense." Abel shrugs.
"I told him I didn't even want to think about getting back together unless he was straight with me." I admit.
"Good luck with that, let me know how that goes." Abel chuckles.
"Can't you just tell me?" I ask him in irritation, he just shrugs it off.
We pull into the parking lot of the school just then and drop the conversation.
Abel helps me out of the truck walking with me to the doors ignoring the looks we are getting.
**************
It's been a few days since what happen to my ankle I decided it's good enough to drive on, and I don't need the crutches as bad only when walking a far distance. I sit down beside the headstone and sigh as I run my hand acrossed it.
Sadness takes over me and tears fill my eyes. Nothing has changed with Aiden though I've noticed Brianna Aimes has been hanging on him a lot lately but I haven't seen them kissing or anything.
I'm not so sure that I'd care, it angers me that I had always been totally honest with him and he out right lied to me even though I still don't know the whole story.
"Hi Gabriel." I whisper to the headstone as I trace my fingers acrossed it.
"Jaime." A voice comes from behind me.
I turn around in confusion, it's Abel. I gape at him for a moment, as upset as I am with Aiden that does not mean I necessarily like Abel he is still a pain in the ass and he won't be honest with me either.
He kneels beside me.
"What are you doing here?" I ask irritated.
"I just saw you... wanted to make sure you were okay I guess." He says and then looks at the headstone.
"I'm fine."
"Why are you in a cemetery, who is Gabriel Alexander?" He asks confused.
"Well it's usually where people come to visit their dead loved ones." I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.
"Why are you mad at me?" He wonders aloud.
"I want you to stay away from me Abel, god you are worse then Aiden I'd almost rather it be him here then you." I huff standing up in anger. "And not that it is your damn business but Gabriel is my son."
He's still kneeling beside my sons headstone as he stares up at me bewildered. "Jaime I didn't mean-" He starts.
"Oh fuck you." I growl and stomp away from him which is hurting my ankle so I attempt to lighten my steps.
I lose my footing and the ground is suddenly moving closer to my face but arms snake around my waist.
Abel stands me up right but I pull away from him. "Leave me alone."
"Just let me help you to your car Jaime you really shouldn't be walking on that yet." He says sternly.
"No I don't want your damn help." I grunt.
"Ya know something." He says sounding pissed off I turn to face him full of rage myself. "You think he is just sooo fucking perfect don't you?! You and everyone else but let me tell you I know him better than you do sweetheart."
"What I know is that obviously what happened hurt both of you, clearly you are taking it out at everyone though and he isn't! You need to grow the fuck up!" I hiss.
He laughs humorlessly. "Oh god you are so oblivious, you think you know everything don't you little miss fix it? Well let me tell you something you do not know ANYTHING. You clearly don't know my brother and you sure as fuck do not know me!" Abel shouts at me. "He has got you so fooled honey, he doesn't care about anyone but his damn self. Me? I'm not nearly as selfish of a bastard as he is."
Abel spins around and storms away from me, tears roll down my cheeks. These two boys have me so torn, and confused that I simply don't know which one to believe. My head pounds pulsating so hard I can hear it right behind my ears I slowly make my way to my car as my head spins.
A/N: Hmmmmm? So what do you think now? Jaime has secrets too how about that?! I know it's sad, I apologize for that.
