10 - JEALOUS OF A PHONE
Shawn's eyes widened and his jaw dropped as he stared at Jade. She was wearing the violet-colored gown he had picked out for her. He hadn't expected her to wear the dress but she did and she was looking stunning in it. The shade matched her skin color and together with her messy bun and bright eyes, Shawn felt she looked like a doll.
His lips curled up into a smile as he noticed the contrast between the bitchy Goth at school and his adorable best friend. She looked a thousand times friendlier than she did wearing all that Gothic stuff.She walked toward him and he opened his mouth to say a compliment but he was cut short by a hit on his forehead. He grunted, placing his hand on his head as he watched the girl who had just jumped up to slap him, roll her eyes at him.“What? It's beautiful and it suits you.” He defended, glad that she had worn it.Jade scoffed, stillRelated chapters
JADED 11 - HAPPY AGAIN
Soon, the taxi arrived at their destination - Dreamyland Amusement Park. They got of the taxi and walked into the park. Jade excused herself and went to pay for tickets, leaving Shawn to admire the place.Shawn felt emotional as he looked around. The park was just like he'd imagined it to be. From the smell of candy in the air and the colorful environment to the costumed characters walking around the park, it was almost how he'd imagined it to be. The only slight difference was that it was a Wednesday and there weren't many people at the park.He took a deep breath in as he thought of how he'd longed to visit here. How his parents had made empty promises to him whenever he'd asked them to take him. How he'd forced himself to believe he had no interest in these things anymore but deep down, he knew he still longed for it.But, as he stood there, knowing he could finally satisfy the longing, he couldn't h
JADED 12 - HE WAS TO BLAME
The ride home was quiet. Jade sat in the taxi looking at her phone, her face devoid of any emotion. Shawn sat beside her, leaning his head on the glass and staring at his reflection. He was blaming himself for what had happened.Jade was beautiful. Although her beauty did not appeal to him romantically, it did to others. She had been harassed in his presence a lot of times before. It was probably why she always had on a Gothic makeup. It repelled people from her. But he made her take off her protective layer. He definitely was to blame.He knew she was mad. Even though she seemed very calm on the outside, she was certainly burning inside. He wished she would say it out. He wanted her to blame him. To scold him. Or at least show her emotions. But he knew she wouldn't.He just sat there silently, watching the lights on the streets and shops as the taxi sped through the roadway. When it eventually stopped in front of her house, he was reluctant to come out.
JADED 13 - HE WHO STAYED
Jade muffled a grunt as she stood up from the floor where she had fallen. She cursed at herself for not cleaning the floor where she had spilled water earlier. Now it had made her slip when she had an important business to take care of. However, she decided not to clean it.She made her way out as quietly as she could, trying to ignore the pain in her upper back. As she stepped out into the darkness of the backyard, she merged into the darkness. She was dressed in black cargo pants and jacket, and leather boots. Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail and was covered by a black cap. Around her waist was a leather bag and on her hands were black leather gloves.She ran to the fence and jumped over it into the neighbor's house. Then she went out through the open gate into the roadway. She waved down a taxi immediately and entered into it, careful not to alert her bodyguards. The taxi driver gave her suspicious looks but he still drove her to her destination anyway.
JADED 14 - LAZY BEST FRIEND
“Please!!!” Shawn pleaded, his eyes widening as he stared up at Jade. Turning her back to him, Jade continued eating her cereal, chewing as quickly as she could so she could disappear from Shawn's sight. She was sure to lose her temper if he continued pestering her.“Forget it, Shawn. I'm not teaching you anything.” Jade said as Shawn came to squat in front of her. She placed her plate to her mouth and used her spoon to push the remaining food into her mouth. Chewing slowly, she stood up and made her way into the kitchen, trying to ignore the fact that Shawn was following her around.He stood by the counter watching her as she rinsed her bowl and put it back with the others. And as she walked out of the kitchen, he followed closely behind.Jade sighed as she stopped abruptly, making Shawn almost bump into her. Shawn was using her trick against her and it made her uncomfortable. She didn't want to teach him to fight. It wasn't a plea
JADED 15 - BELIEVE
Shawn turned to look at her. Burying his green irises into her blue ones, he tried to search for proof that she was lying but all he found was sincerity. “Okay then. I want to protect myself and... And my mother. From my father.” He said with a sigh.Jade raised her eyebrows in confusion. “Your father. Didn't he prom...”Shawn scoffed. “Yeah, he did. But, a beast never keeps promises. He promised your parents that he'd be better but he became worse. That day, he made me regret telling you. He hit me till I fainted and when I woke up, I saw that my mother had it worse. I swore never to tell anymore.”“Why didn't your mom leave? That is enough reason for a divorce.” Jade spoke, softly.Shawn sighed softly as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. “My mom saw how hard it was on you when your parents divorced and she didn't want me to go through the same. Besides, dad had threatened her to stay. He
JADED 16 - A SCARE AND APOLOGIES
Jade grunted as she made her way up the stairs. Clenching on tightly to her bleeding stomach, she tried to walk steadily over the stairs. However, with her spinning head and wobbly legs, she found it impossible to do so. And before she realized it, she fell from the fifth step.Even though the fall wasn't much of a distance, it aggravated her condition. Her back and butt began aching as well and she felt glued to the floor. The cut on her stomach continued bleeding and she knew that if she didn't stand up to treat it, she'd probably die here. And if she didn't die, then she'd be rescued by the housekeeper, who'd tell her father immediately and she'd be shipped off to one stupid asylum where everything they do is to make her believe, she's insane.She groaned as she tried to stand up again but no part of her body was moving. After a few more tries, she decided to accept her fate - the first option. She removed her hand from where it had bee
JADED 17 - THE MEANING OF HER NAME?
Jade sat cross-legged on the couch while Shawn sat up straight, both eating a bowl of popcorn and watching TV. The sports channel was on and they were watching a basketball game. They were supporting different teams and Jade's team was in the lead. They both had markers in their hands and for each goal scored by their teams, the other person's face would be drawn on. Shawn's face was almost full of different shapes while Jade's face was barely drawn on.The tables turned and Shawn's team began to win and Shawn wrote a letter on her forehead for each win. At the end of the game, Shawn's team emerged as the winner. On his face were a mustache, a variety of shapes, and a hippo while on Jade's face was written: JADE IS A LOSER!!!The room was filled with laughter as they both laughed at their own and each other's faces. They were still laughing when they heard th
JADED 18 - BORN FOR RISKS
Shawn heaved a sigh of relief and sank to the floor as he heard the sound of Sergio's car starting. Jade sighed and leaned back against the wall, watching as her bodyguard put back his gun. “This won't do. I'm moving back in.” He announced stoically. “No.” Jade protested, frowning as she stood upright. He glanced at her and sighed. “I need to protect you at close range and I can't do that staying in a hotel five kilometers from here. I can't imagine what could have happened if I was a minute late.” “I had it under control, Lewis.” “You didn't. Jade... Miss Adler, I know I promised you freedom but I can't keep letting you endanger yourself. So, I'm moving back in. If you have a problem with that, let your father know. I'm pretty sure he has sent your details to that boarding school. All that's left is you.” Lewis said, his voice sounding threatening. Her eyes flared up in anger but he didn't seem to care. “Are you trying to threaten me?
