Jaden's Pov
"So let me begin, I will tell you everything that I know. But in turn, you have to promise me that you won't even think about suicide." I said and looked at her pale face, trying to solve out the puzzle that she was. I knew her better than everyone else, but I never knew what was on her mind anymore.
"I promise, now you can begin." She said, and looked at me, waiting to spill out all the beans before her.
"This all began when I started to date Isla. So let me begin with how we began to date." I said.
*Then*
Jaden's Pov
I was still sitting in the cafeteria while I saw Aubree rushing out of the place as if she were hit by a hurricane. A moment ago, she was all fine, excited even, but as soon as I told her that I have a crush on Isla, she became silent for a while and then rushed away.
I wonder what the problem was.
And I wonder
Jaden's Pov*Then*I was getting worried about Aubree day by day. Four years had passed by, and we had finally graduated from the university with our respective degrees.As time changed, our friendship also changed.Laura had become totally distant, and and then she moved out of the country, for her job. The only way I connected with her was through facebook.Nathan and I were good now. Better than before, but still not the same. We used to hang out together, but still we too were distant.And well, Aubree was a totally different case. I hadn't spoken to her in the past two years. She had become totally focused in bad boys, and all she did was to hang out with them. Whenever I tried to call her, she ignored and moved away.So one day, I called Isla."I'm worried about Aubree. She isn't behaving normally. She sleeps over at random guy's places an
Jaden's Pov*Then*"Hey Jaden, I did not expect to meet you, hey Isla, and hey sir." Aubree said as she got into the car and sat next to Sebastian, while Isla was next to me.The way she said my name, I knew that she was taunting me, and the way she called him sir, she was verbally trying to seduce him. What did I do now?What the hell was my fault? It felt as if she was blaming me for something wrong that I had done. I wish I knew what that was."Hey Aubree, I'm so glad that you came." Isla said."I'm glad too." I whispered."I'm sure you are." She said, loud enough for me to hear.While we drove towards the resturant, I heard Aubree flirting with Sebastian, yet she ignored each and every sentance that I said. And being a jerk that Seb was, was, even he started to flirt with her, and he ignored me too. Why she did this was beyond me. She wasn't like this
Jaden's Pov*Then*The worst came over one day, when I was sleeping and suddenly, my phone began to ring. At first, I ignored it, but later I thought it might be important. I got up and saw the name Aubree flashing over my screen. And in an instant, a smile came over my face. And I realised that I was already in love with her, it just took me five years, to finally realise that.I instantly picked up the phone."Hello Aubree." I said into the speaker excitedly,maybe, it would be the start of something new for us."I.. need.. help." She whispered into the phone, and a cold chill ran down my spine. Her voice indicated that she was in trouble. I instantly got up, forgetting my sleep and realising that it was a serious issue."Where are you?" I asked her as I ran into my car, fumbling with my keys. I was too worried that I could not even
Jaden's Pov*Then*Sometimes, looking for answers only leads to more questions. And sometimes, you are better off not knowing.I had just realised how much I loved Aubree, but now she laid on her hospital bed, refusing to meet anyone. Refusing to eat, her body stayed their, paralysed until the fifth day, when she finally decided to see other people. She met Laura, she met Nathan.I was dyning to see her, not because I wanted to love her, but because I wanted to protect her from the world.I went in and the look on her face broke my heart. She looked so innocent, so pure. A life that was shattered by some external force.Do you know what it feels like to be so near to lose someone you love too much?Do you know what it feels like? Like a hundred million shards of glass are piercing your very soul. Like you are a stranger to your own life. Like your heart was livin
Aubree's Pov*Now*"I'm sorry Jaden, I had no idea." I said, looking into those eyes, which were full of fear and anxiety.How could I even think that he, out of all these people would hurt me? How could I even deny the love that he gave me, when his love was all that I desired for, since the beginning of time? Why? What had happened to me?Had I never thought that if he falls in love with me, my life would be all right, it would be the best part of my life. Knowing that the one I loved, loved me back. But then why did I tell him that I hated him, when in reality, he was the one I desired for, all my life.I had always thought that those ten years of my life would be the best time of my life. But seriously, was it? I was almost raped by the dance instructor that I trusted the most. What if Jaden hadn't come in time that day to rescue me? I had been doing drugs. I was sent to the rehab centre, from where I ran. I w
Aubree's PovSo, as I had decided, I began my plan. I told all about this plan to Jaden, and he was okay with it. Even if he wasn't, it was alright.I went to a café where I had asked Nathan to meet me personally. Meanwhile, Laura would come with Jaden. Hence, I had time to talk with Nathan."Laura told me that you were seeing a girl." I asked him, between our talks and the mention of this other girl did not bring a smile, or any other emotion on his face."She's this girl from work, her name is Clarie. She's pretty." Nathan said, trying to sound like a lovesick puppy, but failing miserably.I may have forgotten it, but I still remember that Nathan never shows his real feeling on the outside. Right now, he was trying to convince me by saying that he was in love with her, but it wasn't true."She seems to be a nice girl." I said."Yes she is. She is intelligent, she dresses well...." he continued, but their was
Let's just skip the time some more.Three months later... .. .Aubree's PovIt was finally happeneing!Tonight, the bride stood in her attire, dressed up in an elegant white gown, whose fabric swayed over her waist, kissing her curves and, making her blush at all the right places. Her veil was up on her head, and her hair was trailed up into an elegant bun. The makeup artist had performed wonders. Not that she did not look good without makeup, but tonight, the makeup she had on, made her look even more good.Just looking at her standing that way with a bouquet of red roses in her hands, was making us all cry with joy. And I being the maid of honour on the wedding of my best friend was feeling as if I were the luckiest person on this planet. I had dreamt about this day since the day I first realised that they both were in love with each other, and that was during our college times, which was almost
*Flashback*Aubree's PovOne step, forward, the other backward. My hands were on his, while his hands were on mine.My eyes roamed all over his figure, devouring him with just my eyes. I could see him, I could hold his hands, but nothing more. All I could do was dance on the beat with him.The beat was proceeding and so was our dance. But now our hearts were beating in different rhythms. The music that used to be one, was now differentiated by the difference in the sound of our heartbeats."It feels so good to dance with you." Jaden said and our dance proceeded. He said it felt good to dance with me, then why could he not see the reason why."Then let's dance, until we can." I said automatically, my voice coming out in a mere whisper."I can't dance with you, not any longer, coz now my heart belongs to her." He said and disappeared in an instant, leaving me sho
