Chapter 43
I shift my eyes downwards and turn my head. I don't like him like that because I like Landon. Im still with Landon. "Im sorry" He says, breaking the harsh silence of the library. "It's ok. Im sorry Will. I just... don't like you like that." I said, giving him a kind, apologetic smile. Awkwardness gloomed like a thick cloud through out the library. "I got to go, dad needs my recipe for dinner." I lie. I hate lying but its become a habit for certain people about certain things. I slip out of the library and get on my penny board. I glide home, thinking about everything that has happened today. The fight, the library. I allow the cool air to blow my hair back and let the stress fly away. Once I'm home, I walk in the door.
Katrina is here and she and Devyn are watching Game of Thrones. I smile and dunk myself down on the couch with them, going into my back pack to grab my phone out. Of course. On a day like today, I lost it. I let out a sigh and walk up stairs to Sam's room. "Sammy, can I borrow your phone?" I call out. I don't really understand why I didn't just ask Kat or Devyn but I'm up here now and wanted to hang out with Rose and Aaron anyways. "Yeah, where is yours?" He asks and I sigh, "Lost it, think I left it at the library with a friend. I just want to call it so hopefully someone will hear it." I say before grabbing the phone that is handed out to me. "Thanks." I say, giving him a light smile. Shoving the phone to my ear, dialling my number and anticipating for the ringing to stop. No answer. "Dang it." I say, huffing. "Chill, we can go back if you want." I shake my head. "Nah, not today. Library wont be open." I say, slumping down on the bed next to him. "What happened?" he asks gently. "Landon and I had a fight and Will tried... to kiss me." I say. He gives a sympathetic smile and then offers to go up for me. I refuse to let him go and just say that I will go to the lost box tomorrow if Will doesn't have it.
I find myself up in Aaron's room, playing with Buddy and Rose whilst Aaron reads something to me. "Want to record a singing video together?" I shrug my shoulders, I'm not particularly in the mood today but I brush it past, not wanting to have to explain why I'm grouchy. "Sure." I shrug, pulling up a chair whilst the puppies jump at me feet. "Got any song you want to sing?" Aaron asks. I start to think when Sam comes into the room. "Wait, why don't we do a singing video with you guys?" I ask before Sam can start talking. "Yeah, sure!" Aaron says. "Great idea." Sam says before heading out the room. "Meet you downstairs!" I call out to Sam. "And get Kat!" I help Aaron carry his stuff downstairs to the living room where the ball pit was. I grab some stools from the kitchen and set them up for us to sit on whilst Kat helps and the guys set up the lights a music. "So what song are we doing Jules?" Sam asks and I look at him, thinking again. "What about 'Me and My Broken Heart' by Rixton?" I suggest. Kat nods while the guys agree. We sit down onto the stools while the microphones are set up. We have a few mic stands around the house so they were tall enough. Kat starts singing when Aaron starts the recording.
(A/N there is a lot of singing terms in here! I was using a link for assistance (It wont let me put it in! Sorry!))
"All I need's a little love in my life,
All I need's a little love in the dark,
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start,
Me and my broken heart."
We all end up joining in for the next part because we thought it sounded really cool.
"I need a little loving tonight,
Hold me so I'm not falling apart,
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start,
Me and my broken heart."
Aaron sung the first verse while Sam sung the Pre-chorus. Their voices smoothly transitioned into each others, making it sound amazing. We all sung the chorus before it was my turn to sing the second verse. I was starting to become used to this, singing in front of a camera but I was still having a great time because I was singing with my family and doing what I love. But I chose this song for a reason and it was still a fresh wound. Landon. He didn't trust me enough to not look after myself. I put my everything into this song, to make it raw and entertaining.
"yeah...
Shotgun, aimed at my hears, you got one,
tear me apart and then some,
How do we call this love?
I try to run away but your eyes,
Tell me to stay oh why,
Why do we call this love?"
The song ends amazingly with us all singing together. I love the way our voices go together. We match each other and it's going to turn out so well. When we finish the song, we cheer and high five each other. When I feel a pair of eyes on me, I turn towards the hall way, expecting to see Corey or Devyn but instead, someone I never thought I didn't want to see. Landon. And he is giving me a sad look. It's not even a smile. It's just a sad look. I walk upstairs with Landon in toe. "Can I help you?" I say, getting Rose from Aaron's room and taking her into my bathroom. Landon keeps following me until I'm in my bathroom with Rose in my hands. I put her in the bathtub and get the shampoo out from under the sink. I fill up the bath and Rose jumps around, splashing and feeling the little droplets against her soft, furry paws. "Jules, Im sorry but just because I'm over protective doesn't mean that you can go around kissing other guys. Aren't we still together?" He is full of sadness and fear of what Im going to say. "What are you talking about? I haven't kissed anyone!" I say, looking up at his tall figure standing over me. "Library! Will!" He says looking at me. He says it as if I am lying to him. Im even more hurt. The whole idea was for him to talk to me when he started to trust me. "Landon, I didn't kiss Will! Whatever you think you saw, didn't happen! He leaned in but I didn't kiss him. Lan, the whole point of you coming to talk to me again was that you trusted me. You didn't even trust me to still be with you in the most important time!" I sigh. I dry off Rose and walk downstairs with the both of them following behind me. I go to the front door to open in while Landon continues to plead his apology.
I swing open the door for him to leave to reveal another familiar face. Will. Dear Lord. Of all times! "Hey Jules, you left your....." His eyes widen when he notices Landon. "Hey..." He says hesitantly. "Bro, we had one fight and you tried to kiss my girlfriend?" Landon asks. Surprisingly he isn't that mad. He is more hurt and sad then anything. "Bro, look Im sorry!" Will says, quickly handing me my phone. "Jules, that video was so cool!" Sam says, coming up behind me. Crap. "Jules, who is this?" Will asks. "Im Sam, Jules's adoptive brother." Panic sweeps over me. "Your adoptive brother?" Will questions. Sam and Will both look at me then away, suspense hanging in the air, causing me to have to explain. "Will, you cant tell anyone but... I am an orphan. Was an orphan. My parents left me when I was a baby and... I was only adopted earlier this year. By Sam, and my other brother Colby. They live here with their friends and wanted a younger sister so, they adopted me." I sigh. It was so much harder to get out then I had expected it to. "Thats where we met." Landon chimes in. Only few people knew that Landon lived in an orphanage. Not many people at school know. Non of my friends or his, just the few people that are from the orphanage that go to our school and the teachers because its in our records. "Landon, you don't need to..." I try to say but I'm interrupted. "It fine. Juliet and I were living there for just about 12 years. We were best friend even then." Will's eyes were wide and he was very silent. "Will, you have to promise you wont tell anyone. Please!" I say, looking into his eyes. He nods his head and I hug him with gratitude. "Thank you." "I have to go... See you tomorrow." He says after looking at Landon. He quickly walks out of the gate and out to the dark street. To be honest, I half expected Landon to chase after him after he left, to hit him for trying to hurt me or kiss me or anything. But he doesn't. He doesn't chase after him. He doesn't punch him. He doesn't even glare at him. He just looks back at me and gives an apologetic smile. "Jules, please. Im sorry for not trusting you. Please, just give me one more chance. I want to help you through this time, not make you suffer even more." I look up him, hope gleaming from his eyes. "Ok..."
