„When are you going to be back?“ Jay titled his head to the side as he leaned against his car, watching the tall airport building through narrowed eyes. He looked back at Ember and sighed deeply. A pout formed on his lips and he directed his gaze towards the ground. „I will miss you, you know?“ Ember's arms folded around him and he returned her hug, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer. Burying his nose in her hair, Jay inhaled her scent and smiled fondly before he had to let go of her. Her brown eyes locked with his green ones and Jay sighed again, just this time with a smile instead of a frown. „Don't forget me in China, okay? Text me everyday. In the morning, in the evening...just let me know what you are doing and that you are alright.“
Kissing her cheek one more time, Jayden watched as Ember walked towards the building. He looke dup at the grey sky, feeling miserable all of sudden. Something..something was going to happen. And he hoped Ember would not be the one hurt.
12:37 PM
Jayden tapped his fingers against the steering-wheel, humming softly . Similar to a cobweb, rain was flowing down the windshield, veiling his view. He frowned and glanced at his watch, sighing deeply as he realised that he was already too late. Shane had invited him to lunch and after everything that had happened – Kayden and Kelevra leaving, dying, being brought back to life, Ember's accident, Blaise spending time in jail, breaking up with Keith, Charlie trying to commit suicide - Jayden was glad to enjoy his big brother's presence and simply...let go of all the bad. He longed to make a new start, take another chance at life. It was all so really tiring and he was not sure how much he could take before he reached a limit. There was a choice waiting to be made; allow the darkness to swallow him whole or reach out for the light. It did not help much that Ember had to leave again since she always managed to balance him out and conjur a smile on his lips.
Suddenly, another thought popped up and Jayden's frown deepened as he looked over at the bag resting on the passenger seat. He could remember ordering food yesterday – junk food, he had to admit- and spending all the money he had left. Shane would probably try to pay for their lunch but Jayden was already a big boy, he was not dependent on his brother's money. Over the past few weeks, he had worked at a small shop, earning his own money. Craving freedom in every way possible, he had to rely on only person and that was he himself.
„Guess I will have to stop at the bank.“, Jay murmured and turned the car around, trying to shake off the uncomfortable feeling which once more started to take hold of him.
Fire. A plane. More fire. Broken pieces everywhere. Nothing left of those who were on board...
He leaned back in his seat and resisted the urge to call Ember. Something was simply ..wrong and he did not know what to make of those pictures inside his head and the sudden realisation that he was all alone with that feeling woke even more unrest. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Jayden closed his eyes for a second and slowly shook his head head from side to side. This was ridiculous. He was acting childish, unreasonable. It was a day like any other. There was no reason to feel like this. None at all.
However, before he could contemplate what he was doing, his fingers reached for his phone and he quickly browsed through the numbers, halting twice as he spotted three certain numbers. Pursing his lips, Jayden looked ahead again and spotted the bank. Taking a deep breath, he threw one last glance at the numbers displayed and dropped the phone on the passenger seat. He was not going to bother Blaise, Ember or Ethan with his childish feelings. There was already enough damage, pain he had inflicted upon people he loved. Above all, he regretted hurting Keith. It had not been fair to stay with him when he was still in love with someone else. If he hoped for anything, then it was his happiness.
Jayden parked the car and searched for an umbrella before he headed outside, wrapping the jackett tighter around himself. He would never again trust the weather forecast. Such a bunch of liars! It was supposed to be a sunny day but all they got instead was dark, grey clouds. He sighed, only a few steps away from the entrance as loud noises suddenly reached his ear. Turning his head to the side, Jay felt his eyes widen as he spotted a young man running away from police officers, a bag which was obviously designed for women in his hands. Jay quickly connected the dots and frowned, feeling the righteous part of himself take over.
Dropping his umbrella, he blocked the man's path and was about to conjur a flame as he suddenly remembered where he was; in a public place, surrounded by people who where oblivious to the fact that Supernatural Academy even existed. It was in this split second that he realised one thing; he was fucked
“Not lazy, but I can't say I like running... I do yoga though.” Charlotte shrugged and glanced up at Shane. It was nice outside, the sun was not too hot but warm enough for it to be pleasant. “I would ask if you are lazy but I think I can guess, based on what you do for a living and all.” She smiled and tilted her head to the side. It was absurd for her walking besides Shane after everything Jay had said, giving her mixed signals if she was supposed to go for him or not. But she did enjoy his company and not to mention good looks. “Let's hold off the wedding and the baby for a while, I think Jay will have all those things before either of us.” Charlotte laughed.
