Jordan had spent quite some time comforting Jezebel before she eventually went to bed. She was exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally, but after some time, which may have been as little as a few minutes, or long as hours, Jezebel had begun to cry in her sleep from a nightmare. She woke up to see Jordan there by her side, quickly becoming unable to recall the details of the nightmare and merely the sense of unease and discomfort. “Please, don’t… don’t go” she asked, searching for the comfort that came from having Jordan close and being in his arms. It seemed like so long ago when she had last fallen asleep in his arms, but the comfort it provided hadn’t changed a bit.
That next morning, Jezebel had woken up in a way she would have never expected. Just as always happened whenever she had stayed the night at Daniel’s, she woke up to the feeling of a cold dog’s nose against her skin. She opened her eyes, shocked to find Daniel’s dogs there. That was merely the beginning of her surprise as she read the note attached to their collars telling her to look outside, where the sky was full of apologies to her. Then as Jezebel turned, she saw Daniel standing there. She was stunned by not only him being there, but by the cards he held. She wasn’t sure what to say, but when Daniel walked closer, she didn’t even second guess herself and hugged him, feeling instant relief as he returned the hug. Things would never be the same as they were before. It would take some time for everything to be fixed from the previous months, but he actually apologized and called her sis. They could actually fix things and be close again.
Talking with Daniel was only the beginning of what happened regarding her family life over the next two weeks. Her relationship with her grandparents slowly grew more strained as her relationship with her mother grew increasingly worse. Everyone finally knew the secret that her mother had held since she was in high school. Just what she had wanted to erase from her past most, was now open knowledge, everyone knew what she’d done. In that same time, Daniel’s father, who now knew he was Jezebel’s father as well, had reached out to talk to her. For the first time in her life, she actually had one of the things she had always wanted, long before she even found out who he was or about Daniel. A chance to actually get to know her father. No matter how screwed up her life was in so many ways, things were actually starting to get better in others.
Jezebel had just gotten up as she saw a text from Daniel. He had offered to bring Jezebel along on the trip to Vegas, but she chose not to go. Things were still a question between her and Mikel, so it would have been weird being there.
To Daniel:
Really Daniel, it’s fine. Another time though!!!
Then, when Jezebel had just finished getting ready for the day, she saw a text message from Mikel. She really didn’t know what she should say to him, or even what she wanted to say, so as she began to type a message, she questioned herself and deleted everything she had typed. That happened multiple times before she finally sent a simple message.
To Mikel:
I miss you too.
She still had no idea what to think with everything with her and Mikel, or her and Jordan. Her mind and heart couldn’t get onto the same page, and she didn’t even know what each part of her wanted, but what she was certain of, was that she did miss Mikel.
It wasn’t long before she went outside to meet the driver Daniel had sent, but what she didn’t expect was who the driver actually was. She couldn’t have hidden the smile on her face if she tried, laughing as she listened to Jordan’s imitation of Daniel’s accent. She had not expected Jordan to be the one picking her up at all. “Jordan, what are you doing here?” She barely waited for an answer before telling him to wait for a moment before she quickly went back inside for just a minute. When she came back out and walked to him, she had his jacket from prom, that she still hadn’t returned to him, in her hands. “I believe this belongs to you.”
