CADEN'S POVI know she's not going to do it, I'm just pulling her legs, but it's a shame though.And she's totally lying.She's scared of me, I'm just not sure if it's because of how I've treated her since being back or because she feels something for me.I pray it's the latter, even though I don't know what I'll do with that if it's true.I'm too broken to deserve her and that's been the main reason I've been staying away from her.Knowing Jade, she'll spend the rest of our lives trying to fix me, if I give in and act on my feelings for her, because that's how she is, nurturing.But I'm past the point of being fixed, I took a hit too hard and it damaged me too bad, and she dosen't know that and it'll make me worse watching her try.I can't do that to her.I chuckle, trying to ease the tension my request had caused in the room.Shit is so palpable I can cut through it with a butter knife if I try.Does it r

JADE'S POVIt's been days now since I last spoke to Caden and I'm not sure how I feel about it.I mean I'm pissed about what happened, but I've had more time to actually think about it.And the more  I think about what happened between us, the more I realise I could have handled it different and saved us both the headache.He'd not been wrong, I'd let him kiss me the second time, went into that water with my eyes wide open and my head sane.I could have done better than blaming him but in the heat of my anger and the swamping feeling of betrayal that had been trying to consume me, I'd laid it all on him until he'd exploded .Well, I'm past the point of reminiscing and dwelling on that.I'll apologise though, if he isn't doing a good job of avoiding me and staying hidden from my sight all the damn, fucking time.It isn't even helping that for some reason, Matt is staying away from me too.I don't know where I went wr

JADE'S POV I can hear voices in my head, masculine voices that are awfully familiar, but I'm too tired to try placing them with owners. They are in my head and kinda making it difficult to remain asleep. The haze of unconsciousness lifted of but I keep my eyes close, not ready to entertain any questions or conversations. I ignore the pounding in my head as I listen to the conversation happening around me. "Because I know how she feels about you. It bothered me so much knowing that and I wondered if you feel the same."   Wait, that's unmistakably Matt's voice, I'll know it anywhere.   By "she" does he mean me?   And why will he be discussing my feeli

JADE'S POVI watch her climb out of the car, dressed in a really short skirt I've never seen before and a crop top that did well to display her washboard flat abdomen.And she's fully made up!That infuriates me so much I'm out of words to explain how it makes me feel.I have no issues with my sister trying to look, well like she is now, but leaving me out here in the school, sick and for hours on end just so she can put on make up?That's just cruelty and inhumane in my book.I wait to hear her excuse on why she's so late to pick me up after being called by the school's nurse and asked to because I'm not doing too well on my own,  instead, all I get is her walking right past me like I don't exist and going over to Caden's side.Really, Amber?Well, why the fuck did I expect any different though, that's just like my sister.It'll be totally out of character for her if she offered any explanation or apology."

JADE'S POVI feel the covers gets taken away from my body but I'm too weak to even crack an eyelid open to see why.Instead, I curl further into myself, fighting the chill with what body heat I could get.But there's something else.It's probably the fever really getting the best of me or something, but I can swear I'm perceiving Caden's heady masculine scent in my room.I should have taken some meds before crashing, maybe that would have saved me from absurd, delusional thoughts like this one, but I really can and it's intoxicating.There's no way he's here though, Caden I know will rather have all his teeth pulled out with rusted pliers and give up his nails too for bonus points.I curl up a little more, craving some heat to make the cold stop and savoring my favorite scent teasing my nose.It's a piece of heaven you know, imagining him being here and being able to inhale his sweet scent, but that is snatched from me in a sec
