Doomed

Jayden's POV

I kissed Skylar. I am the biggest idiot ever.

I hurt my best friend's feelings and gave her mixed signals. I know shes going to put a wall over her emotions and its all my fault.

I don't know what came over me.

I was pacing in my bedroom trying to figure out what I needed to do. I had to fix things. Why do I always mess things up when it comes to Madison. I don't deserve her. I'm so angry.

"WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT!"

"CRAP," I shouted in a whispered to myself.

"Jayden what was that sound?" I heard Beth say.

"Uhh, nothing..."

There is a hole in my wall and I have splinters. I'll just put a poster over that.

Can this day get any worse?

*DING*

My phone went off, I hoped it was Madison.

What is this? A message request? From who?

Caleb Cartel.

What did he want from me?

Did Mads say something to him?

I opened his messages and he was pissed. He was talking about some song. I had no idea what he was talking about. He told me that Madison made a song and posted it online. He said it was clearly about a guy and he knows that she has feelings for me. I immediately went to her page and that song was about me.

It already takes a lot for Madison to write a journal entry. But to write a song meant I hurt her badly. I was doomed. It didn't help that Caleb the mean guy, big brother is down my throat threatening me. He should be careful because Madison would be angry at him if she knew the things he said to me.

No...what am I thinking? It would all turn on me and I know Caleb is somewhat of a good guy. If Madison needs a friend and she won't talk to me, she'd talk to Caleb.

I need to talk to someone. I cannot talk to Beth. She would flip on me if she knew what I did to Madison. All my friends are jerks, well except for Jate, but he's in Brooklyn this week. I need to talk to Skye. I also left my guitar at her store. She's the only one who might understand. Then again I kissed her granddaughter. I have to take that chance.

I wrapped my knuckles and headed down.

As I approached the shop I saw Skylar leaving. She said as much as she wanted to talk to me she wasn't allowed to anymore. That only meant that Skye knows. I asked her Skylar if her grandmother was still in. The store closed a little over an hour ago, but I still had hope. She walked past me without another word. I turned around to see an upset Skye.

She gestured for me to come in.

I talk about Madison to Skye a lot during my privates. Mads inspires me incredibly when I play music. She had always been so supportive of me through everything in my life.

I followed Skye to the piano room. She instructs me to sit down on the bench, and play what I have been working on. I have written plenty of songs about Madison but this one was different. I didn't write music that sounded like this, I have never dug so deep in emotion for my work. I didn't have any lyrics yet. Although, once I started playing the words just came to me...

You see me shining from a new light up above.

You make me feel some way that I can't get rid of.

Five years eleven months and seven days, since I fell for you.

We've been through it all but this chance was a dream come true.

And I blew it... And I blew it.

"Stop." I was instructed.

I turned towards Skye, she spoke again.

"I thought you had no lyrics Jayden."

"I didn't, I just sang what I felt."

"Did you tell Madison?"

"Yes, she didn't take it well at all. Now she probably hates me."

"That is not what I am talking about Jayden."

I looked at her puzzled.

"What are you talking about?"

"Did you tell her that you love her?" she asked me.

Not recently...

"I never said I loved her." I replied.

"So, over those five years, eleven months, and seven days, your feelings didn't grow stronger."

"Well yes."

"6 years is a long time Jayden."

I had no idea where she was getting at.

"Why did you kiss my granddaughter?"

"Did she tell you that?" Skylar wasn't one to talk about those things with Skye.

"No. I saw it on the surveillance footage when I was checking inventory."

"I am so sorry..." I trailed off.

"If you and Madison were days closer to being together why would you screw it up, darling?"

Because I'm an idiot, who does things off of a random impulse. Maybe I wanted Skylar to get off my back for once. For her to leave me alone and see that I was happy. I knew what she wanted and I was stupid enough to give it to her...

"Jayden lock up when you are done."

I didn't even realize, I was lost in my thoughts.

She tossed me a key. What did she mean, lock up when I am done? Wait, did she leave?

Skye left.

I walked out of the piano room and entered the studio. There was a mural that says 'Music is what feelings sound like.'

I just realized what Skye meant when she said 'lock up when you're done.' She was giving me access to everything in the shop. The recording studio too. She wanted me to finish my song. Wait I have no idea what I sang earlier.

Surveillance. I need to check the surveillance footage.

It is time to get to work.
