Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Jordan's POV

Can you ever understand women? One moment they want this and the other moment they want something else.

I felt like she was the girl Justin Bieber was referring to in "What do you mean".  She's so indecisive!

She's hurt, I know. It's because of me, fact established. I tried explaining, apologizing but she refused. What, am I supposed to keep doing that the rest of my life? Loving her doesn't make me brainless.

Six good years of my life I spent trying to reach her and now it all feels wasted. I got dressed for today's work, thankfully, it's just tomorrow left to work, the rest was meant for relaxation.

She was at my door about to knock when I opened, she quickly dropped her hand and swallowed hard.

"What?" I asked uninterested.

"Just wanted to tell you that we were running late" she said in reply, I nodded, locked my door and headed out, not even looking back to check if she was coming behind but she was.

She got into the car after me and I drove off. She kept staring at me like she had something to say but I pretended like I saw nothing.

It's her time to understand what I went through.

It was a silent drive, I got off immediately not bothering about her or should I say, pretending I didn't care.

"Miss. Lawson, the pictures you sent me last night were great, I couldn't stop staring" I commended her, she blushed.

"I'm glad you liked them" I nodded and passed her by, there was no time to waste, all stylists were working on me while other things were being set.

Nova was all over making sure everything was good, so she knew she was meant to be doing this but totally stayed out yesterday.

The whole shoot was done, after two breaks and several clothes change, hair styling and all. I can't believe I've been doing this since early morning and now it 5pm.

"Oh, Miss. Lawson, don't forget today's pictures and I would appreciate some videos" I told Miss. Lawson.

"Sure, expect them" she replied and we left.

Nova would not stop staring at me as we walked towards the car, and even when we got in.

"Jordan I'm sorry, I acted stupidly" I ignored her and focused more on the road, I don't want to get us killed.

"Jordan! Jordan!! Myers!" I sighed, she wouldn't let me breathe now, would she?

I roughly turned off the road and parked the car, so we can talk.

"What do you want Nova?" I asked her because I don't even think I know what she wants.

"An explanation, why you cheated on me, last night was a proof that I can't bear you with someone else. So explain first why you cheated".

She still believes I actually cheated on her? Like, that hurts.

Nova's POV

I couldn't exactly read his expression, seemed like a mixture but after last night, I knew I had to work this out. If his explanation doesn't suit me, I'd stay completely out of his life and move on.

"Catty was dealing with heartbreak, her boyfriend constantly cheated on her, I met her at a club and we became friends, that day, at the club, we were just talking and laughing when she kissed me. I was seconds away from pushing her off when you sighted us" he explained, but that doesn't cut it. It is way more than that, way beyond that night.

"You ignored my calls, my texts, even though you read them. I was forced to come over, your friends brought me to you" I yelled. The thought of those times were pissing me off, the hurt was coming back.

"Those bastards planned it. When they saw you, they could have called me but they wanted to ruin things. They specifically told me that they wanted to ruin our relationship. They believed you were distracting me from having fun and living my best life" his voice was rising, tears threatened to roll down my eyes and I didn't fight it.

I've spent years hating him for something that was planned out, and he could be lying now but I know when Jordan lies. He looks frustrated and pained right now.

"I left, you never came for me until now"

"Yes, when my friends told me that shit, I grabbed the two closest bottles and hit them both on their head at once" I gasped. Never had I pictured Jordan to be so violent. "I didn't realize the gravity of what I had done until they were bleeding. I was called by the student body, they wanted to see my parents".

Flashback

"They wouldn't come, even if I called them" I told the body who had brought me before them. One of them smiled and said.

"They got here some minutes ago" with that my parents were called in, both of them.

Mom looked like she had been crying while Dad looked pissed but I really don't give two fucks about their feelings.

"Jordan" dad called surprised and shook his head but mom remained silent.

"Your son should be tried at court soon, he has been charged with attempted murder, those two are badly injured" another man told my parents.

"Why would you do such a thing, I never raised you go become a murderer" dad yelled at me, he was furious but so was I.

"The point is, you raised your other kids with your real wife and not me. Tell me, would you even be here, had you not lost the election? It's not my fault they decided to meddle in my life and ruin my relationship!" I shouted at him, he went silent. Tell me, what does he even have to say? I am right afterall.

" What relationship?" Mom asked.

"Nova broke up with me mom... Because of them" I told her

"Oh my!" I don't know what Nova had given her but she loves her so much that she even seem more devastated than I am.

"The point here is, we can't keep him here anymore, we advice he stays with you until the trial" one of the board said, I think it's the same man from earlier.

"He will clear his things immediately" dad told them and we all left for my room. I started packing up my things thinking about how prison life would be.

"You will be at my house so I can keep a close eye on you until your trial" dad told me, I was originally going to go with whatever he asked of me but there is no way I was going to live with his other family.

"No, I'm not interested in any step mother drama" I told him while still packing up, mom was assisting me as well.

"She left him, my problem here is that you can settle those kids parents. You did it for Jayden, this is the least you can do for him as a father" mom told him. Two things shocked me, his wife left him and he helped his other son avoid prison.

"Jayden?" I asked in shock.

"Yes, he killed his driver" mom replied me and I scoffed, what a son.

"I will try my best. If it works out, you would leave for London, I will have to send you to Brad, I know he can do something for you" dad told us.

After spending three days at his house, I left for London, well... Not without apologising for my actions. Uncle Brad was the one who helped me into modeling.

End of Flashback.

*****

Nova's POV.

"So you left for London" I asked.

"Yes, the reason I couldn't come explain everything to you. When Trisha and Lois got married, I thought you would be there but you missed it because you were avoiding me".

"Yes and Trisha still doesn't talk to me".

"I love you Nova, I know I don't say this and it's because I never grew up saying or hearing it.... It sounds odd to me". I smiled, that one thing I have always wondered about.
