Chapter 23

Kimberly Medilton
I hate my love life
It's so damn difficult and I hate it. I'm not happy and I think I need to take a break for awhile. After that phone call , I cried. Which is stupid..
Suddenly my phone rang and I looked at the caller ID to see Jaden's calling me. I quickly picked it up
"Hey"
"Hey Kim. How are you doing?"
"Hey! I'm good. You?" I can't help but excited
"I'm in New York , want to meet up?" I told Rafe that I'm not feeling well because I am. I stayed up late yesterday after Ethan's call. I have a headache in the morning
"Come to my house , I'm not feeling well. How long will you be here?" I asked
"Oh you're sick? Want me to buy you something?"
"I'm good , just get your ass here" I said and he knew my address here since he once visit here before I went to London
"Geez , be there in 8. I'm around here" He said , I got my ass to the shower and quickly change. I walked down and waited for him downstairs.
"Oh wow , you're taller" I commented and Jaden laughed as he hugged me
"Well thanks for the compliment. You're shorter.. I guess" I smacked him
"Don't mock me idiot"
"I bought you some fresh bakes muffin" He gave me the box and I squealed
"Thankyou"
"What's with those eyebags and puffy eyes Kim?" He said and I ignored him by sitting at the sofa opening the muffin. I took one and offered him one
"Kim? What's wrong?"
"Who else Jaden?" I said as I took a bite
"Rafael?" I shook my head
"Don't tell me.." He said in a really suspicious tone
"Yeah" I nodded
"How? I mean.. you went to London and you went back here to have a vacation right? There's no way"
"I thought that too , he wanted me now. Everything is different"
"So what did you do?"
"I rejected him because it's not fair" I sighed
"Let me ask you a question.." He said and I looked at him raising my eyebrows
"Will you be happy with Rafael?" He asked
"I will be , he loves me and never hurt me"
"Kim , no matter how long you be with him. You never love him. Love is a big deal here. You think you can learn to love him but this guy has been in your life for years but you still don't love him so the conclusion you will never be happy with him"
"So you're saying that I should go to Ethan?" I asked in a really piss tone
"Isn't it obvious that you are still not over him after all these years?" He raised his eyebrows
"He hurted me Jaden , in case you forget that"
"Of course , that's why you need to teach him a lesson. I'm not saying for you to go for him now or just give in because that guy needs a serious lesson"
"I'm tired of drama" I ate the muffin again
"Of course but it's you and Ethan. You both like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing" He said and I kicked him playfully
"Since highschool , I knew that you and him will end up in the end" He stated and that got me shock
"You're crazy"
"Feelings Kim , you're worth it but my rival is Ethan so there's no way I will win. People near you will bet the same way. No matter how I will fight or Rafael will fight in the end Ethan is the one who win"
"It's not fair for Rafael you idiot!"
"That's how love works Kimberly , someone will hurt along the way. You can't help it" He ruffled my head
"Since when did you become wise?"
"Since I got a girlfriend" He smirked and I looked at him with my eyes widen
"Congrats you idiot! At last you're not single anymore!" I smacked him playfully and he laughed
"Thanks" He said and I sighed
"I'm thinking about going back to London tomorrow , I'm sick being here. I'm here not to stress but Ethan is giving a big headache"
"You know he won't stop right?"
"He called me last night and he's completely drunk. It's not even his birthday"
"Stupid Ethan , he's a beginner so I'm not surprise that he doesn't know what to do"
"I need to get out from love issues right now. I hate drama" My phone rang and it's Brooklyn. I looked at it weirdly because Brooklyn rarely call me
"Hello" I answered
"Hey Kim , where are you?"
"Home , why?"
"Uhmm I know this is stupid but are you with Ethan?" Huh?
"Ethan? We fought yesterday and do you think I will be with him right now Brook?"
"Easy Kim , sorry for asking"
"Why are you asking me that?"
"Because he's missing" My body froze and I looked at Jaden in horror
"Missing?"
"His car was in the club and the phone was in the car. His last call was you" What?!
"Your joke aren't funny Brook.. How can a guy like him be missing?"
"I'll call you later" He ended the call and I put my phone down
"Ethan's missing?" Jaden asked
"Yeah" I nodded weakly
"He's stupid for being like this" Jaden hissed and he took my phone. I let him whatever he want to do because my head wasn't functioning
"Kim" Jaden suddenly called and I turned to him
"I suggest you to go back to London , you're stressing here"
"Jaden.. Ethan is missing"
"I bet the others will get him because I bet Ethan will be drunk somewhere" Jaden said and I looked at him not believing him
"Jaden"
"Look , just forget everything and go back to London okay? I can't stand seeing you like this again Kimberly. It's been years and yet it's still the same situation" He held my hand and I sighed
"I hate this"
"Take a break and just don't contact Rafael and Ethan. I suggest you to block Ethan so he can't call you and let him find you by himself" He said
"Jaden , he's missing"
"Trust me he's just drunk somewhere. Don't be afraid" He assured me
"This is stupid" I sighed
Suddenly the doorbell rang, and Jaden said he would get it for me. He walked to the door and I leaned back to my sofa and closed my eyes.
Why took Jaden so long? I decided to go out to see who came? A package maybe?
I opened the door to see Jaden beat Ethan up. My eyes widened and I ran to them quickly. I pulled Jaden away and looked at Ethan completely beat up.
"Yesterday was Rafe and now Jaden" Ethan said as he got up looking at Jaden with his cold eyes
"What do you want?" I asked coldly to him and his eyes turned to me
"Apologize" His eyes turned soft
"Go inside , cause I need to talk to this guy" Jaden said to me and I turned to him
"Go.." Jaden said and I looked at them both worry
"I don't trust you" I looked at Ethan
"I won't beat him" Ethan said
"Go , I'll be back to you in a few minutes"
"Don't beat him Jaden" I warned and he just gave me a smile. I walked back to thr house and decided to trust Jaden. I sat on the sofa feeling uncomfortable and suspicious
I decided to go out and when I opened the door. Jaden was walking towards the door without Ethan. Ethan was gone and I looked at Jaden confuse
"What happened?" I asked
"We talked that's all"
"Jaden" I didn't trust him
"Trust me , we just talked" Jaden smiled
"You're being weird"
"Go back to London tomorrow and just take a break from everything"
"Yeah I think I need that"
"He will come to you again Kim , I don't know when but don't make it easy for him okay?" Jaden said and I shook my head
"Do you think I will go back to him after all this time?"
"No matter how hard you try , you belong to him Kim. Even I know that but it's your choice whether you want to accept or he will fight for you or not"
"He won't" I sighed
"You'll see.." He hugged me and stroked my hair. He assured me and I felt comfortable.
Yeah I need to get a real break from love life. I'm tired already about it
