Julia Third POV

         Immediately Jayden dropped Julia at her place she blew a kiss at Jayden as Jayden caught the invincible kiss and placed it on his left side of his chest.

His action only made Julia giggle with joy as she ran towards her house opening the front door.

"Good evening Dante."

She immediately greeted her brother who sat at the sitting room watching TV news and ran into her bedroom with full excitement.

Dante turned to question Julia about her whereabout but she was already in her bedroom rolling on her bed with so much excitement and giggling attitude.

"I can't believe it." She screamed with so much happiness.

"Will you quiet down and stop being so childish." Dante grumbled out in annoyance.

"So whatever." Julia screamed still caring less as she jumped up and down her bed.

Once she was tired of being crazily happy she dropped on her bed and brought out her phone from her pocket and called Loveth.

"He still likes me." I told her straight.

"You don't mean it." Loveth replied understanding fully well of what I just said.

"I'm not kidding."

"Woah woah waoh. Girl I'm busy now. You're going to spill everything out on Monday," she said also feeling excited.

"Yes I will." I replied back as the line went dead.

I also scrolled and tapped on Lillian's number.

"Lilian." I spoke up first.

"Yeah." She replied.

"Guess what?"

"Guess what? I'm not really good at guessing." She told me as I could sense her confusion.

"I told him."

"You told who what?" She asked.

"I told Jayden." I elaborated.

"Oh my gosh, what did he say? Tell me what the hell he said."

"He still likes me Lilian, he still has feelings for me. After everything." I told her with a wide smile plastered on my face.

Any further smile can make my face tear.

"Oh my gosh. I'm jumping on my bed for your sake." I could hear her say, while I chuckled lightly.

"On Monday, you'll need to spill every single beans about it, okay?"

"Yes I will."

"Have you told Loveth about this sweet news?" She asked.

"Yes I have."

"So beautiful. Chat you later babe," she said cutting the line.

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Early in morning I got dressed as I checked myself on the mirror wondering if I looked presentable to Jayden.

For heaven sake why am I bordering about it? Jayden loves me just the way I am.

I wore a hoodie and a blue jean with a simple fancy sandal. I brushed my hair with my hand and I rushed out of the house.

"See you later bro." I told Dante closing the door bind me.

Before I could move a step from my door, I could see Jay waiting for me. Immediately I saw myself smiling.

"Good morning Julia." He greeted with equal smile as mine.

"How was your night?"

"So lonely." He told me as he held my wrist dragging me towards his car.

"There isn't a no, Julia." He spoke up when I was about to decline.

I got into his car as we drove towards school.

"What will students say?" I asked being so nervous.

"Forget them."

"But... " I try to object.

"Juli don't you like me?" He questioned as I nodded my head. "And I also like you soo much. This automatically makes us boyfriend and girlfriend, If they aren't okay with that, they should all go fuck themselves," he said assuring me.

So I'm his girlfriend so soon.

"Okay." Was the only thing I could utter out.

When we arrived at school, as usual everyone eyes were on both of us especially me. Jayden intertwined his fingers caring less on how the students where staring at us.

There's one thing I noticed about Jayden. He's so confident in himself, releasing that leadership character I somewhat like.
Some student stared at me with
Jealousy
Anger  and
Unsatisfactory.

They were not feeling comfortable I being with their Jayden heart. My heart kept skipping as they also threw dirty glares and daggers my way.

All the confident I tried to build just crashed like nothing.

"Julia ignore them." Jayden told me in a hush voice sucking my earlobes making me feel a bit jelly.

I'm so sure students saw that.

Lilian and Loveth ran out of the school building and attacked me with a bone crushing hug.

"Oh my gosh.'' They both shouted.

They should both quiet down, they are making this obvious for me.

"So are you two a thing now?" David asked with a smirk.

"I guess not... " I tried to object.

"Definitely we are." Jayden interjected placing his hand around my waist protectively.

I guess we really are.

"So beautiful." Maxwell spoke up cleaning a fake tears from his side eyes.

So funny.

"Lets head in already." Jayden told me dragging me inside the school building as the students gossiped and watched us like hungry zombie. Wondering how Jayden and I seemed close.

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

I left Nursing practice hall heading towards the cafeteria for recess when I sited Rose who was walking towards me.
I was going to explain everything to her, I'm sure she'll understand.
She's my friend, she will.

I told myself approaching her as anxiety was written all over my face.

Before I could utter any sensible word she eyed me, hissed at me with soo much hatred and passed hitting my shoulder in a rude manner.

Such action made me feel deflated. So now Rose hate me till this extent that I could see it on her.
I felt sad that my friend couldn't even understand me all this time I tried to do same, to do many times.

I went straight to the cafeteria, covering my gloomy face with a smile and took my sit close to Jayden.

"How was classes, dear?" Jay asked.

"Pretty good." I told him.

"Shockingly we are have our family reunion friendship stuff this evening."

"Are you for real?" I asked skeptically.

"Yep."
"But at Rose's house." He told me with a rigid face.

I'm wondering why Jay seems to dislike Rose, she has been our friend since when we were little, I just don't get to understand the both of them.

"That's good." I told him.

"That's good?" He asked in askance.

"Yep."

"Why?" He questioned in confusion.

"Nothing." I told him as I ate my spag in delight.

Maybe, I'll get a chance to speak with Rose and explain everything on how it happened.

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

When I got home I told Dante what Jayden told me and he was like. "Of course I know that." He replied buttoning up his long shirt.

"Alright go change mum and dad will be here any minute." He told me leaving the house to his working place.

I shrugged and went up to my room to wear something presentable a black flay knee length skirt and a yellow shirt. As simple as better.

I went straight to the sitting room to see mum and dad. I walked towards them and hugged them with a warm smile.

"Every single minute my girl is growing," Mum said dragging my cheek.

"I hope Dante is taking good care of you?" Father asked in askance not trusting my brother's will.

"Of course he is." I told them.

"Alright lets head to see Rose mother, I can't wait to see her baby bump," Mother said excitedly.

"Yeah." I replied shortly.

As we head out of the house, while locking the door I saw Jayden and his parents smiling at us.

"Oh my heavens, is that Julia?" Mrs. Cynthia as we all know as Jayden's mother asked walking towards me with a surprised expression.

"Of course she is." My mum answered.

"Oh my goodness, she's so damn beautiful." Mrs. Cynthia commented out of the blue.

Well, I guess Mrs Cynthia will always be her, bubbly and jolly kind of person since I knew her.

"Thanks ma'am. You're looking good yourself." I told her as she blushes.

Hahaha, this woman.

"Thanks so much." She appreciated.

"Nice to see you again David." My dad greeted Jayden's father as they shook hands.

"Same here Samuel." Mr David replied with a warm smile. And from there they started making small talks.

"It's been a long time Dorathy," Mrs Cynthia said as she hugged my mum and they made small talks.

Not to get you confused. My dad's name is Samuel and my mum's name is Dorathy. Mr. David and Mrs. Cynthia Heart are Jayden's parents. Mrs. Lisa and Mr. John Miller are Rose's parents.

"You're looking cute, Julia." Jayden whispered into my ears as he pecked my ear.

Such action made goosebumps to shoot out from my skin.

I smiled widely staring at him, "As usual." I replied pecking him on the cheeks.

He stared at me with shock as his face turned pink. Oh my gosh, so Jayden has such effect. I chuckled and elbowed him lightly as he came out of his trance and laughed out loud.

His cheerful action made his parents and mine face us in suspect.

"Finally they aren't quarreling anymore." My mother spoke out.

"They were?" Mrs. Cynthia asked in disbelief.

"Yes. But they are over it now," my mother said with a smile.

Seriously she had to tell them that.

"Jayden never in your life quarrel with dear Julia again. " Mrs. Cynthia scolded Jayden and Jayden just smiled warmly nodding his head.

"From hence fort I won't misunderstand her," he said as they all cooed.

Seriously. This parents of now a days.

"Alright lets head to Mr and Mrs Millers house. I want to see Lisa's baby bump," my mother said excitedly.

"She'll soon put to birth," Jayden's father said.

"Seriously." My father replied skeptically.

"Of course, she's 9 months and some weeks pregnant," Jayden's mother replied.

"Oh my. I can't wait for the arrival of the baby." My mum replied happily.

"Me too." Jayden and I added.

It was night already as we head towards Rose's house. As we walked under the street lights, Jayden and I held hands. I felt safe if I might say, I felt more filled than ever, not empty if I might add.

Mr David pressed the door bell of the house and Rose was the one who opened the door. There was a smile on her face when she saw my parents and Jayden's parents but once her eyes landed on Jayden and I her smile dropped on seeing both of us holding hands.

I tried to release my hand from Jayden's hold since that's what made her annoyed but he didn't let me, Instead he held it firmly with a cocky smile.

"Oh heavens Rose you're one pretty lady now." Now mum complimented.

"Thanks Mrs. Dorathy." Rose replied with a sincere smile.
"Pls come in." She ushered as we did while she threw daggers towards me.

Her action made me insecure.

Then came out Mrs. Lisa from the kitchen.
"Oh my God, I'm glad you guys made it," said Mrs. Lisa.

"Yeah, we can't wait to see the arrival of the baby." Mrs. Cynthia replied first.

"With the baby on you. You're still looking hot." My mum complimented.

Seriously mum, you had to say that.

Mrs Lisa blushes, "Oh thanks so much Dorathy."

"Alright, lets take our sit. Nice to see you once again in a long while." Mr. John spoke up shaking my dad and Jayden's father's hand.

"Same here." My dad replied.
"As always." Jayden's father added as we took our sit.

Jayden sat beside me while Rose was opposite me. She refused to even smile.
We were served coconut rice with grilled fish stew and it was decorated by salad and chicken meat. My mouth became watery.

"Oh my Julia and Jayden have grown so much." Mr. Lisa complimented.

"Yeah." Mr. John added.

"Thank you." I replied with a grin while Jayden just nodded staring at me with a grin.

He should stop, oh. He shouldn't make it so obvious.

"After this baby. We are expecting another child, right?" Mr. David asked as everyone chuckled.

"Noo, I won't. Instead Cynthia will do the rest." Mrs Lisa replied as everyone chuckled loudly.

"What? Impossible. Jayden and Julia will finish it up." Mrs Cynthia joked as everyone Including I laughed out loud.

But Rose wasn't pleased by Jayden's mum joke.

And then we ate our dinner in silence, as we were eating Rose will stare at me rudely or hiss drop at me at small intervals but Jayden cared less and studied her sternly.

The atmosphere for me wasn't comfortable, anymore.

"Alright children we adult are going to hang out. Take care of yourself," my dad said with a warm smile.

"But I'm not with the key." I told father.

"That's not a housel, she'll stay at our place." Mrs Cynthia offered.

Wait! She'll let me.

"That's not a bad idea." Mr, John added.

"Yeah, besides Rose is going for an errand," Mrs Lisa said.

"I am." She replied being shocked.

"Ganny Alia needs your help. So lock the house and head there, please." Mrs. Lisa told her as they all left with Mr and Mrs Miller's car.

Rose stared at me with annoyance heading towards her room as I proceed to follow her. But Jayden held my wrist stopping me.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to explain everything to her." I replied.

Jayden scoffed, "She won't listen."

"She will, she's my friend, she has always been my friend." I told him.

Jayden shook his head at my ignorance. "Alright, go ahead. If she try anything funny, she won't like it."

"She won't," I said confidently walking towards her room door.

I knocked on it but she didn't reply, so I opened the door and stepped in with a nervous smile.

"Rose I want to talk to you."

"There's nothing to talk about." She replied distantly facing me.

"Please."

"Just leave. Get the hell out of my life."

"Why this behaviour of yours towards me?" I questioned not taking her rationally act towards me anymore.

"You know why? Because you're the cause of it. You're a love breaker, a friendship destroyer," she said angrily.

"Stop saying this." I told her as my heart squeezed hearing such words from her.

"I won't."
"You took Jayden away from me." She blurted out.

"No I didn't."

"You're the reason why Jayden doesn't want me. You have snatched him away from me, you stupid girl." She insulted.

"Stop accusing me of things I never did."

"Just shut up. Get the hell away from my life. I never want to see you. Nor talk to you because you're a friend who back stabbed me," she said with red eyes.

"I've never done that and I will never, pls stop saying this you're hurting me." I told her as my eyes because watery.

Any minutes I'll break into tears if she continues with her hurtful words.

After years of friendship, this is what she thought me as. I was so broken and disappointed at myself and the girl I called a friend. Why can't she understand me?

"Please just listen to me, we can sort this out please." I pleaded.

"Just shut the hell up and get the hell out of my life and my house." She yelled angrily.

"Rose...."

"You're going to pay for what you did to me, I'll make you pay." She shouted out furiously.
"I said get out...." She screamed.

Jayden ran into the room quickly, stared at Rose with hatred, grabbed me by my wrist and dragged me out of the house.

I was so shocked and I couldn't utter a word.
Rose hates me. She hates me for good because I like Jayden.
All because I liked Jayden so dearly.
She wants me out of her life.
Just like that, I have been a nuisance to her all this while.

My eyes were wide open so as my mouth, I felt stiff but Jayden still dragged me towards his house under the street light since it was night already. I just kept moving with him like a dummy following his maker. My eyes were watery and I was stopping all nerves from releasing a tear.
I almost felt weak and dejected.

Once we got to Jayden's house he opened the door as I stepped in like a movable object still stunt by Rose words towards me.

"Juli please snap out of it." Jayden pleaded in a worried tone.

Nice Loveth
