Episode 4

Jane's POV

Everyone stood there speechless until Jaden broke the silence.

" Why didn't you tell me this guy was harassing you all this time?" He angrily shouted startling me.

" I didn't want to bother you" I said making an effort not to burst into tears.

" You only told me about him staring at you funny, but the number you said that it was someone else, so you lied? " His voice was surging and without realizing I was already in tears.

" Worst-case scenario he could possibly be a psychopath just like Ailee said " He said irritated than looked at me and his anger melted away when he saw me crying.

"Come here sis " He called than hugged me " I'm supposed to protect you from such things, is my duty okay. Sorry for screaming so don't cry. If he tries to come near you I'll kill him" He said wiping away my tears with his thumb.

Ailee came behind me and rubbed my back.

"Are you okay? Sorry for telling Jaden about Damian, I didn't know you kept it from him. I get that he also doesn't know what he tried to do last month right?" She whispered when Jaden walked to the car.

"Its fine, and yes he doesn't, so don't tell him okay? "

We all got in the car and we were on our way to Groove mall, that is after me fighting Annabelle over the passenger seat, she just wanted to try flirting with Jaden for the hundred millionth time. I won with Luke's help.

We were on our way to Granny's and I was starving. We arrived then got out of the car, the boys took the seeds and followed us inside.

Granny came from the kitchen and welcomed everyone with a hug.

" Pumpkin, how is Yolanda doing? It has been a while since I saw her " To hungry to argue about the nickname I sighed in defeat.

" Mom is fine, just busy at the clinic I guess" I told her while following her to the kitchen.

"Something really yummy is calling me in here" Luke announced entering the kitchen as well.

" I just finished making a Greek lemon chicken and potatoes for you guys, is in the oven, I was waiting for you kids to arrive" she said while taking a few plates

" Let me set up the table" I said taking the plates to the table " Ailee, Annabelle please come help me"

Ailee came immediately.

" And Annabelle? " I asked looking behind to check if she was coming.

"Don't bother, she said she is busy watching Jaden watching soccer " Well I'm not surprised at all.

We set up the table, food, and drinks all in place, so we called everyone to eat.

We all helped ourselves to some tasty food. I select a piece of chicken from my plate and chew thoughtfully, and do the same with the roasted potatoes. The potatoes were vibrant and crunchy at the edges with just enough spicy to lift my mood up. The chicken is flavorsome, making this meal a succulent meal, soft and easy to swallow leaving behind a lemon-like aroma a kid would say finger-licking good.

After eating, we washed and organized everything then we all went to the backyard and tried digesting the yummy food we just had.

I personally didn't care if there was a cloth to sleep on, I just threw myself on the grass, closed my eyes and took a nap.

When I woke up it was around 3 pm, Jaden and Ailee were helping Granny preparing the soil for the new seeds. I looked around and saw Annabelle and Luke under the tree near the kitchen, sleeping on one of Granny's blue cloth.

When Annabelle and Luke woke up we had some Ice cream while listening to Granny's story about her childhood.

Around 5 pm we kissed Granny Goodbye and Jaden had to go drop the others home, before going back home. On our way home I got a message on our Alien group.

Wifey: what should we do for the Twins birthday guys ?

Anna baby: let Jaden choose ^_^

Me: are you really my friend Anna?

Luke: We should travel together what do you guys think?

Luke: Anna move on will you?

Wifey: my parents already have plans to travel, plus it takes time to plan such things, I'm not certain if I'll be here for their birthday -_-

" Jaden what're we doing for our birthday ?" I asked.

"I don't know. What do you've in mind twin" he answered with a question without taking his eyes off the road.

" No idea " I moaned.

Me: Jaden said he also doesn't know *_*

I'll hit you guys if we came up with something.

When we arrived, I didn't see any lights on which means no one is home as always. I surely never really bothered that my parents were ever busy, probably because Jaden is always around. We went straight to our rooms, I allowed myself to take a long relaxing bath not realizing how much I needed it. I had to resist the urge to stay there for the rest of the day.

I got out of the shower regretting instantly as the cold sharp breeze welcomed me when I opened the door making me curse under my breath. I put my minions cotton shirt and shorts. I tried to comb my hair but failed miserably so I decided messy bun it is then.

I decided to organize my books in a box, and a picture fell from one of the books of me and Jaden playing the piano. I squeezed my eyes shut and smiled remembering how we would attend piano classes and play around the piano while our tutor would give up after chasing us until he reached his limit and just sit there.

When we finally learned how to play, a month later mom asked some maintenance guy to fix an exposed wire situation and accidentally the guy fell on our Piano apparently, the ladder he used was too old.

It feels like it was yesterday. I stared at the picture in silence.

" Hey! Haven't you ever heard of knocking? " I grumbled as my bedroom door opened and Jaden walked in.

" Sometimes it beats me too, why do you even have a door?" Jaden teased and I rolled my eyes.

" Doing what?"

" Just packing these books, we don't need them anymore" I said while putting the rest in and placing the box inside my wardrobe.

" Wanna watch a movie or something? " he asked quietly.

"Mm-hmm . . ." I whined and stared at the ceiling debating whether I should watch the movie or sleep.

" I mean, I ordered that meaty pizza you love so much" he whispered, knowing him, he is purposely doing it, but I know better.

"I mean " I stopped for a moment " Is not gonna kill me if I just watch a movie with my beloved twin, is it?" I laughed at my stupidity and for contradicting my thoughts.

" Easily persuaded, a mere pizza did the trick" He mocked. " I didn't even have to try hard" he smiled.

" Let's watch the dam movie before I change my mind" I told him giggling.

"Okay" he agreed, then walked out and come back a few minutes later with the Movie projector.

Someone knocked on the door." It might be the pizza guy" Jaden reminded me " take this " he gave me the money for the pizzas, then went back to connect the projector and the laptop.

I ran downstairs, opened the door, the guy gave me the two boxes and I gave him the money saying thank you.

I walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of coke with two cups than headed back up while enjoying the pleasant and appetizing smell of these hot pizzas. I found Jaden laying on my bed, navigating through Netflix selecting the movie.

" What movie are we watching" I asked while placing everything I was carrying on one of the nightstands next to the bed.

"Still choosing, What do you want" he asked " Do you prefer an "I'm gonna cry type of movies like five feet apart or the " Funny ones like Girl's strip"

" I'll go with big, handsome, Godly type of guy, I think Aquaman fits the profile just fine" I laughed.

He rolled his eyes " You lucky it's a superhero movie" he murmured then selected the movie.

We both sat down, our backs against the bed's board. I took the pizzas giving one to Jaden and rested the other on my lap. pouring coke into both cups, I passed one to Jaden and took a sip of mine.

We begin eating while watching the movie. suddenly I thought crossed my mind when I saw a blond woman hugging a boy whom I figured was Aquaman.

" J you know Elsa from frozen?" I asked as I repeatedly laughed in a silly way.

" Yes "

" I think she is Aquaman's mother " I giggled " see?" I said pointing at the women with blond hair while laughing at how stupid it sounded.

He was laughing hysterically then wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes" You know sis, your stupidity never cease to amaze me"

I smacked his head lightly then we continued watching, eating and commenting about the movie here and there.

The movie was coming to an end, so did the pizzas, Jaden took the boxes and tossed them on the floor, we were both to satisfied to move from our spots.

I rested my head on his chest feeling his heartbeat, its rhythm was wild yet calm, I was surely falling asleep.

" I'm sorry for screaming at you today " He said gently caressing my shoulders.

I looked up at his eyes. "It's fine I was supposed to tell you about it "

"I was so irritated when Ailee told me what he had done to you and I didn't even notice. Obviously I wished you would've told me about it, but still I made you cry, so I'm sorry "

" You didn't make me cry, I was just overwhelmed with the whole situation "

" You know I'll always be here for you right? " he asked more like a reminder.

" I know " I replied.

Scooting closer I buried my head on his chest. " I was just so tired of all those boys telling me I was weird, and the only boy that seemed to supposedly like me is the one that scares me the most. I couldn't help to feel that maybe I won't ever love or be loved by anyone"

" Hey! Don't you ever think that okay, that boy is a coward that can't take no for an answer, he can say that he likes you but I think he doesn't even know the meaning of it. If he really liked you he would want to make you smile not scare you "

" I love you and always will" he added when kissing the top of my head " You don't have to rush, eventually you'll meet someone who will love you for being yourself, you know?"

I didn't realize I was crying till Jaden partially moved back, cupping my face with his hands.

" No matter what, don't you ever forget that we are one, you are my 0.5 and I'm your 0.5 " his words seem to trigger an alarm in my brain and I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

" And Mia?" I asked playfully while trying to smile through my sobs. Suddenly I was laughing or crying maybe both."

He smiled and reached up caressing my cheek " You know that is different " I giggled.

" what do you think is the definition of love, I mean in a couple point of view" I asked thinking about it.

" I have two definitions, how many do you want to hear?"

" I want to hear all of them " I encourage him.

" One: Is giving up on something you longed for so long, for your significant one"

" Two: is bestowing upon someone the power to annihilate you, but trusting them not to use it against you"

" Wow that was deep " I murmured.

" I know right? "

" Is that how you feel about her?" I asked referring to Mia.

" I think so, I mean she has the ability to make me angry in a heart beat but calms me down at the same rate" he gave me a silly smile " I just love how cute she is when she is trying to argue about useless things and I just keep smiling at her" he said slightly blushing.

"Okay okay, cheesy much" I said moving from his chest, staring at the ceiling " I hope one day I can get to feel the same"

" You'll, that being after I interview whoever you'll fall in love with, and obviously he passing my test" he said smirking.

" Deal " I replied.

" Till then you are stuck with me sis " He said and we just laid down looking at the ceiling.
