Melissa's POV
—————

It was 9pm, and I was already lifeless.
I've spent the whole day closed in my room.
Wondering what I've done wrong this time.
What was my fault?

Why is it that every time I fall in love, I'm always betrayed?

Is Jude telling me the truth?
Or is he siding with Jadon?

I've been reading his messages all day, trying to figure whether he's lying or not.

I felt heaviness in my chest, and that feeling of worthlessness wasn't getting away either.

Marcus kept checking on me, making sure I was okay, he was used to me being like this in my previous relationship.

He knew that Lemar cheated on me, not once,
and felt guilty as he let him get away with it, only because I was helplessly in love.

But that feeling was nothing compared to what I feel for Jadon.

With him, I felt safe, and the trust I had in him was unconditional.

And maybe that was my fault..

Jadon's POV
————

"Answer. Please." I mumble to myself, hoping to hear Jude's annoying ass on the other end.

But I've been rejected for the seventh time.

And all my messages have been seen but he hasn't replied to any of them.

Only he could tell Melissa the truth, and if she didn't wanna listen to me, she would at least hear him out.

I call one last time, before I would start to get triggered.

He finally answers, his first words were,
"Are you okay? You prick. What's all these fucking calls and texts?"

"Listen to me, don't say nothing. Just listen."

He mumbles under his breath, "Yeah, yeah."

"Look, me and Melissa aren't in good terms right now. Because of Ina, she sent me nudes and Melissa seen them. Would you please explain this whole thing to her?"

Jude laughs, "Your girl, your problem."

"Jude, fucks sake. Text her right now."

"I already did. But I don't think she believes me. I told her everything."

And with that, he hangs up.

I text Melissa, just in case she had changed her mind.

But she didn't even read it.

Sighing, I get up and grab my keys, hoping that a car ride would ease me up a little.

Just pulling out of my driveway, I notice Jesse waving to me.

I stop the car and roll my window down.

"Are you in a rush?" He asks.
I shake my head as he climbs inside.
