A soft smile reached Jordan’s lips as he saw Elodie interact with his band mates – though they had honestly become family at this point. Despite the teasing… or maybe even because of it, it brought a grin to his face as Elo spoke to them. He loved seeing one of his favorite people in the world interact with those who mattered most to Jordan.
”I keep getting friend-zoned”
A whole-hearted laugh left Jordan’s lips as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders, kissing her forehead as she placed her hand in his own. “Excuse me. Do you remember the amount of times guys have come up to talk to you and you quickly responded with ‘oh have you met my closest friend Jordan?’ We really want to talk about friend zoning?” he nudged the girl teasingly. As he looked back up to Riker as he started hitting on Elo, causing Jordan to jokingly glare and cut his neck in a ‘I’m going to murderrrr you’ motion. He knew that Riker meant no harm and he was a pretty solid guy. In all honesty, he may have been planning on setting them up sooner or later. Though, as of right now, Jordan just wanted Elo to have a good prom and this was not the time for set ups.
It was a passing thought in his mind as he laid his head in Elo’s lap. He hadn’t had a proper conversation with Elodie in a long time… meaning he really didn’t know anything about her love life. “Hey what do you think about Riker?” Jordan asked, looking up at her with genuine curiosity. “Or has another man caught your attention? I wasn’t joking with those Karate skills by the way. I learned just for you,” Jordan smiled playfully.
Though his smile was soon met with a slight frown as Elo stated ” Yeah, Jezebel and Mikel,” his eyes closing as he remembered Jezebel moments ago. His heart racing… hurting as he thought about Mikel being with her. *” I’m sorry,”*With those words, a sigh left his lips as he finally opened his eyes to meet hers again. “She…” Jordan started… wanting to tell Elodie what had happened moments earlier. But if there was one thing he respected; Jordan Williams would never invade Jezebel’s privacy by saying she kissed me. Instead, the words that left his mouth were “… deserves to be happy. Does… he make her happy?” Jordan questioned quietly.
Though his sad grimace was soon replaced by a slightly forced smile as the girl attempted to make him feel better. “I haven’t forgotten my promise to make your feet hurt,” he whispered, before moving his head up as the car game to a stop.
”You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. I’ll be fine”
Shaking his head, Jordan wrapped his fingers within her own. “No… if we’re going to do this… I’m going to need you by my side to be okay,” Jordan whispered as he opened the door for her and grabbed the umbrella, making sure she was fully covered so she couldn’t get wet as they walked to the door. As for himself, a little water didn’t hurt… especially as he had gotten soaked only an hour earlier – his mind filled with thoughts of Jezebel Sloane.
Entering the house, Jordan put the umbrella to the side and closed the door, walking hand in hand with Elodie inside – taking in the interior. Jordan wasn’t new to the whole Cerulean High rich crowd, though there was something about being in these huge houses that always felt… empty to him. Though as the walked further inside, it was only a second or two before the lights flashed and turned off – causing a commotion with someone screaming and the sound of glass smashing on the floor.
Holding on to Elodie, he looked at her through the darkness. “You okay?” Jordan whispered as people around them scrambled about complaining about the lights. “Be careful where you step,” he mumbled as Jordan looked around the room.
