Jay's pov:
Annoyed. Totally annoyed!
Why?
Because a person sitting next to me is annoying. Ok he is not talking to me much....but looking at his face is annoying to me.
Jason. Family dinner. Which apparently feels like both of our family made a tradition to have family dinner every week once.
Isn't it annoying. Especially when he's your ex!
Suddenly he held my hand right in front everyone!!!!
Warmth was the first thing I noticed, I was melting into that warmth. Like a child yearning for love form parents.
The same warmth he gave me back when we were dating.
Jay snap out of it! Fucking snap of of it you idiot!
SOS! Someone save me. SAVE ME or else give your fate to me.
I smiled. Forced. His aunt and uncle saw it. They were smiling like cute kittens. Evil!
My old hags smiled. Eww.
Don't smile old hags! Grumpiness suits you both better.
I looked at Jare. He was stabbing his steak. I'm pretty sure he wanted to stab Jason like that!
Dane.....frowned staring at our hand.
Mom and dad- they acted.
Percy was breathing. Calming himself down apparently.
"Jason take your hand off me before I stab it!" I hiss-whispered.
"Relaaaaaax! Love you know.....If you act like this how are we supposed to convince them. Learn from me! I'm good at acting." He emphasised the word 'relax' Clearly to test my patience.
"When did you become like percy huh?" I shot .
"Oh no. I think everyone have their own characteristics." He shot back.
His hand grip did not loosen. If anything it only got tighter. Not forceful just firm.
I sighed.
"Seriously.....My love life is messed up.....First you left anything without goodbyes. Second that keiwan used me for revenge....What else?" I whispered more to myself than Jason.
Even though he clearly heard it.
He took a bite and answered.
"Like I said....I had no choice. I hate to say it....But you still love him. And has brain gone dumber or something?" He asked me.
ME!
HE ASKED IF I'M DUMB?
"I will kill you" I hissed.
He shrugged.
"Umm....Jayjay" His aunt called out.
"Yes tita?"
"Well....why don't you come over for our house and stay for a while. You and Jason can get along even though you know each other. Plus Blessica (Jason's sister) is home too." His aunt suggested.
"You have been asking for her for quiet a while dear" His uncle finished.
I opened my mouth. Closed it.
WHAT THE HELL THROAT? BEHAVE!
"Sure she will!" My grandfather answered for me.
Ofc I will!
"Actually she doesn't need to. Let her come if she wants to. Right Jay?" Jason added.
He looked at me.
Dude! What are you trying to do.
The old hags were staring at me.
I gulped. throat tight.
"I will stay" I smiled. Forced.
Jason sighed. Deep. Heavy.
Like he was bored of clearing my mess.
"I thought you didn't want to." He whispered quietly.
"For your sister and your mother."
He nodded.
"Jason.....I know you still love me.....Why are you helping me break it off?"
"Exactly! I love you....And love shouldn't be forced." He replied cool.
Bastard. You really know how to convince someone.
My phone vibrated. It was between me and Jason lying on the table. I glance at everyone and looked at my phone.
CALLER ID: Arthur
"Ok that's weird..." Jason whispered.
Jason stood up.
"Excuse us everyone. Me and Jay want to spend time alone."
He didn't wait for an answer. He pulled me away from the ground while I grabbed my phone quick.
I hear some giggles and whispers something like:
"Young couple these days are.....really something."
Wonder who said that.
We disappeared somewhere where we could see no one.
"Call him back!" Jason said to me.
I did. The call connected.
"Jay come down!"
Arthur cut the call before I could answer.
He sounded.....
Half pissed....
Half tired.....
why?
I stared at the blank screen then Jason.
Jason stared at me.
Ok we both have the same thought. Face says it all.
We moved towards the gate. Talking. Not about the past. Not about the engagement. Just about the....future.
Maybe what I wanted to be?
Or what he wants to do?
When we reached the gate. Before I could even approach them. Or speak with them. Someone tackled me.
To the ground.
Savannah.
Ouch! My back hurts.
I groaned loud. Jason panicked. I didn't see people. I only saw darkness.
Apparently I closed my eyes.
Honestly? After So many years of being with Savannah I was used to this.
But pain?
Not used to it! At all!
I got up slowly, carefully. Dusting myself of from the dust.
I saw.....someone after a long time Sarah. I smiled. She nodded.
"Jeanie" Savannah clung to me like a kola.
I saw Arthur. Jealous. Pissed. Annoyed.
Savannah! Are you trying to get me killed by you bf.
He's shooting death glares at me!
"What happened Sav" My voice softened.
"Jeanie....Are you tired of me bcoz of me being clingy?" She pouted.
I chuckled.
"No" A simple answer from me. Truth.
She hugged me tighter.

I remember the first time I met her.
She was....rude.
But once I got to know her better.....she became clingy to me.
In the end I realised...she is just a person....Who was...out of love and more....just like me.
Even though we are of the same age. I don't think age matters when we talk about friendship and their characteristics.
Because finding true friend:
Who will stay with you all the time. Good or Bad. Be your emotional support.....is hard to find.
