02x10- Jaeden & FirstTimes

Jaeden's P.o.V.
I actually can't believe this.
It's not that I'm jealous. I'm just mad.
Finn lost his memories, and kinda met Jack only months ago, but as soon as he stopped studying, he came all the way to LA to see him.
On the other hand, there's this guy, called Wyatt Oleff. Yeah, he's been my boyfriend for more or less two years now, and he just decided to ignore me. Yeah. The story of my life.
I look at my phone and sigh.
The screen reads "Wyatt Oleff" "Calling"
- *beep* I can't take your call right now. Please leave a message after the tone
*beeeep*
- Um... hi, Wy. I don't know what the FUCK is going on with you, but... I...- sigh- I miss you. I wanna hear something from you, I need to hear your voice. Just...- *BEEEP*
I throw my phone across the room as I scream
- Shit!
Jana gets in the room, and frowns
- Jaeden, honey? Are you okay?
- Y... yeah, sorry.
My phone, still on the floor, starts ringing. I run to it and answer, hoping it's Wyatt
- Hello?
- Jaeden?
It's Jennifer
- Hey! How's... how's Italy?
- It's great, actually. Thanks for asking. How are you guys? Is Wyatt around?
- Um... no. He's not
- Where is he?
- In New York
- Oh, where are you?
- LA
- LA?
- Yeah...
- You're not living together?
- No, he's actually living with Finn
- Where are you staying?
- Jack's
- Is everything okay?
- Y... yeah. I'm just looking for a new role, and he was studying, so we decided to take a quick break and move with our friends who were following our same paths. Finn was studying too, and Jack was looking for a new role, so all good.
- Wyatt and Finn took the test already
- I know...
- Yeah, I'm sure you also know that Wyatt thinks it went great
- Of... course I know- I whisper
I only had one more option and it's gone.
Silly me. I thought Wy hadn't called because the exam hadn't gone as planned, but it apparently did.
- Okay, I gotta go.
- Thanks for checking in, Ms Oleff
- No problem sweetie.
- I'll see you around
- Sure...
- Bye
- Oh, Jae?
- Yeah?
- Please take care of him
- Yeah, I will. Thanks.
"HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE WHO'S FUCKING AVOIDING ME?" That's all. That's all I wanna say right now.
I end the call, take my jacket, and go downstairs
- Um, Jana? I'm going out
- Alone?
- No, no. Sadie and Noah are meeting me there
- Where, exactly?
- P... Pizza Hut
- I thought you didn't like that place
- Not really, but Noah loves it, so whatever. I'm not gonna eat anyway. He just wants to talk
- Oh, okay. Be safe kiddo
- Yeah.
- Do you need a ride?
- Oh, not at all.
- U sure?
- Yeah. Thanks tho
- No problem sweetie. Jack won't be back soon so don't wait up
- I won't
I finally smile at her and leave.
I walk to the "Holly Pub", and sit on the bar
- Hey, kiddo.
- Hey, Ron
- Where's your pal?
- Jack? He went out
- Oh... so you're here on your own
- Yeah. Pretty depressing, right?
- Loneliness may be good sometimes
- Not this time
- What can I get you? A Diet Coke as usual?
- Actually... not this time. I want something a little stronger than that
- A Regular Coke?
- No, Ron. I wanna get drunk
- Aren't you like a little too young for that?
- Just a little
- That's enough for me. I'm not giving you alcohol
I show him a fifty dollar bill and smirk
- How about now?
- What do you want? A beer? Maybe a Martini?
- Um, a beer would be fine
- I'm kidding, kid. Why don't you call Jack and you both go home?
- Not gonna happen
I get up and start leaving
- Wait! Hold on. I'll get you a drink
- Seriously?
- Yeah. A beer then?
- Sure
- Corona?
- Whatever. Just give me alcohol
- Okay
- How much?
- six bucks
- There. Take ten
- You don't have to do this, kiddo. You seriously don't.
- I know, but I want to
- As you wish...
As he gives me the drink, I slowly get the glass near my lips and smell it
- I hope it tastes better than it smells
- It really doesn't
- You adults take it all the time. I'm not gonna believe it tastes bad
- Try it yourself
I pull the glass up and take it to my mouth, drinking a big amount of the beer
Ron was true. It's awful
- So?
- It's pretty good. What else can I taste?
- Nothing. Go home.
- No way. Seriously, Ron? C'mon, dude! Just a couple of drinks. I'll pay you good money
- This is not about money.
- What is it about then? Huh?
- You're not supposed to drink
- And why do you care so much? Just give me a fucking drink
I throw my glass against the wall behind him, and it breaks into thousands of pieces
- Fuck- I whisper- S... sorry
- Get out
- Sorry
- Get the fuck out
I walk away, and sit outside, crying. I haven't drank that much, but I feel drunk already.
No; not drunk. SICK.
I feel sick, and it's all Wyatt's fault
I need to stop feeling that way. I need to stop feeling everything.
I just...
My phone starts ringing. It's Jack
I start walking, and don't stop till I find some other pub
- Am I supposed to get you a drink just because you're the IT kid?
- Nope, you're supposed to because I'm good with tips
- Good one. What do you want?
- I wanna get fucking drunk. What do you recommend?
- Um... Vodka Shots?
- Pure Vodka?
- You wanna get drunk? Then you better start drinking, kid
- Okay. Get me six of those
- Oh, no. Two are enough
- I don't think so
- You really don't know nothing about this. Huh?
- Should I?
- I don't know.
- Two Vodka Shots please
- Okay...
I drink the first one, and feel something I've never felt before. My throat BURNS. Literally
- Ugh, for fuck's sake.
- Not what you expected. Huh?
- Are you kidding? It's exactly what I thought it was.
- It is?
- Yeah.
I drink the second one, and sigh. It doesn't hurt as much as it did before.
- I'm not drunk, dude
- Wait a few minutes
- Okay...
I get up, and everything around me starts moving. I feel really dizzy
- Um... I need a bath
- Down that hall
- Thanks
- Are you okay?
- Oh, yeah. Just a little dizzy
- You should go home, kid. Call someone to pick you up
- Oh, no. I'm fine.
I close the bathroom's door and I suddenly feel everything I just drank coming right back. I'm about to throw up

- Jaeden? Jae?
I open my eyes to find Jack and Finn trying to lift me up.
- Gosh, Jaeden.
- Where am I?
- In a pub's bathroom.
- Is that vomit?
- Yeah. I hope at least it's yours. You have it all over your hair
- My hair!?
- Yeah. You were sleeping next to the toilet. Of course is all over your hair.
They take me inside a limo, and we all leave
- What the hell happened?- Jack asks
- I got drunk. I guess...
- You guess?
- None of us are saints, okay? We all have our problems. So don't come at me
- Jae, I'm not trying to...
- I am- Finn interrupts
- Stop screaming. My head hurts
- That's called hangover
- I'm sleepy
I cuddle next to Jack, and as I fall asleep, I can feel his arm around my back
