Jay
Chapter 4

Story by, Rejoice

Jay’s POV [Continues]
My room was just the way it was yesterday..

Yeah it should..
I walked to my bed and collapsed on it, got my arms behind my head, and rested my head on it and stared at the ceiling.
I still don’t know the meaning of the shits happening to me.

Or if Im getting to know. I don’t f-cking wanna believe that..
Mom isn’t seeing me. No one else is except her..

Why?

And what happened to my real self?
I felt like bathing…

So I took off my clothes and headed for the en-suite.

Got there and walked to the mirror but shocking to me.
I didn’t see my reflection..

I didn’t see myself in the mirror.
I almost hit the mirror with my fist. I was boiling in,side..

No one f-cking no what is happening to myself!!
“Who are you now Jay!” I scre-med at myself.
I turned on the shower and the water fell on my body..
I was happy it did.

I thought I wouldn’t feel it, just the same way I didn’t feel the stream in that forest.
That forest!

How did I got there??
I washed myself with the soap and sponge, loving the way the cold water chilled my skin.
Then mom’s voice stopped me.
“..Who’s there? Jay?”
What? She’s right outside my room door.
“Mom Jay can’t be in there. How would he get in?” Vitoria’s voice followed.
“…Vitoria the shower is running.. Can’t you hear it?” She asked.
My heart raised.

I quickly turned off the shower.
“Omg! I can’t! Mom can you stop this and come have your dinner.” Vitoria said.

“No.. Let’s check his room.” She said.
Oh my God! my clothes!
I rushed out, dripping w-t and nak*d and grabbed my clothes, pushing them under my bed..

Just then, the door opened and they both got in.
I covered my d**k even though they weren’t seeing me.
Mom went straight to the bathroom, while Vitoria just stood with her hands on her h¡ps, watching mom and shaking her head.
I just stood with my hands covering my d**k and stared at them both.
Mom walked out soon with a very pale and horror face, looking at Vitoria with wide eyes.. Her hands went to her chest.

And I could hear her heart beating really fast.
“The floor… the floor was w-t and his soap and sponge were..were w-t too..”

Her eyes were cold.. It was so obvious she was scared.
Vitoria’s eyes went wide open and she rushed to the bathroom, came back just immediately and took my mom’s hand.
“Sss… Someone just bathed in there. It’s so real. Mom..” She said with frightened tone.
Mom swallowed and stared around.
“Jay.. Jay.. You’re here?” Mom called and immediately, she pulled away her hand from Vitoria’s hold and rushed towards, almost colliding with me but I quickly moved away and she rushed to my wardrobe and pulled it open, scattering my clothes.
“Jay.. where for God’s sake are you!” She yelled, searching my wardrobe eagerly like im some kind of a pin.
Vitoria walked to her and pulled her into a hug.
“Mom… Jay will be back soon.. If he doesn’t come back tonight, then he’s gonna come back in the morning..” Vitoria said then pulled away.
Mom stared at her.
“But the w-t floor and the…” Mom was saying but Vitoria cut in.

“..Mom. I think all this are just imaginations. It isn’t possible. Yes the floor are w-t and all that but I guess one thing orr the other caused it. Let’s just go out of here.” She said and pulled mom along and they walked out.
“F-ck it!” I yelled and pushed my hair.

I need to find that girl.

She has the answer to what’s wrong with me.

If she sees me then she has the answer to what’s happening to me.
I walked to my wardrobe and pulled on blue boxer and a red shirt.
Im gonna find her in the morning..

I’ll go to Danar and find her.
I sat on my bed and thought of my friends..
Rekado.

Bran and Leo.
We were all in Rekado’s car,drinking as we drove from the club…

I was drinking and songs were playing..
Yeah..

Rekado and Bran had their girlfriends with them.
Then, I was feeling soo… tipsy.

Yeah tipsy..

Everyone feels that when you drink!!
Gosh! I can’t remember anything else..
I layed down and avoided pushing the pillow so mom don’t come back and find the pillows in another position.
That would scare her too much and I dont want it..
I closed my eyes but no sleep would come. I know.

So I got up and walked out to the sitting room.
Mom and Vitoria were still at the dinning and I stood, staring at them..
They ate silently and even though I loved what they were eating..

I wasn’t hungry..
After staring for awhile, I turned and walked back to my room and layed back on the bed.
My thoughts went to the girl who helped me.

Who saw me.
Gosh! She’s super cute..

And she was seeing me.
When she stopped there at the road. I was really shocked and when she yelled at me.
I couldn’t believe it.

There was someone who actually saw me.
I was so excited.
After much, she still helped me..
Super nice too..
I can’t believe she’s the only one seeing me. No one else.
Not my mom.. not my sister.
I closed my eyes again.
What’s her name?
…………………………………………
#Vitoria’s POV
I was just too shocked when I saw that..A w-t soapy floor and w-t sponge and bathing soap..
But I gotta control my fear to subdue mom’s fear.
She was so frightened and I couldn’t just show my fear as well.

That would make her really worried sick..
Jay… the cold floor was an evidence that he was in there.. but how did he came in and how did he escape too?
Make no sense!
Now, im starting to feel something bad happened to my brother and I need to do something!
Who the hell had a bathe in there and stopped the shower after hearing our voice.

*

Jay.. I just hope you are fine.. you’re so stubborn.. You sneaked out without telling me or mom.
Now we don’t know where you’ve been for two nights.
Mom’s here, worried sick and Im feeling you are in some kinda trouble.

*
Mom wasn’t eating quite well… She occassionally glanced at the front door.
I smiled to her..

Just to make her feel alright.

……………………………………………
#Nana’s POV
I kept thinking of Jay..

I couldn’t concentrate on the movie Kiania and I were watching down here at the sitting room.
Why did he just leave that way?

He said he was going to Tur Moel and I said im gonna drop him off at Danar.
He accepted and we havn’t even gotten to Danar and he disappeared just like that.
I hate what he did!
“Nana.. are you seeing Pia and Reshi are lovers now? They are finally going to wed soon!” Kiki said, hugging me.
I smiled and hugged her too..
“Yeah.. Im happy for them.” I said, and glanced at the two indian movie actors on the TV screen who were hugging each other. They were enemies till they fell inlove..

Crazily inlove and can’t do without each other.
“I wish it all real.. But it’s just a movie. But you know what Nana?” She said, raised her head and stared into my eyes.

I stared at her too with a smile.
“You and uncle Jardel’s gonna be real and I can’t just wait to be the flower girl who would spread you colourful flowers when you walk down the aisle in your beautiful bride gown with uncle Jardel, holding your hand.” She said and then giggled.
I smiled and hugged her more.

A tear dropped from my eyes but I wiped it off quickly before Kiki sees it.
One thing she don’t know yet.

Jardel broke my heart and left me for Becca.

She’s still a kid and knows nothing of heartbreaks and cheats.
“Nana.. What about Aunty Becca?” Kiki suddenly asked.
I swallowed.

I know she’s gonna ask this soon and she just did.
“She travelled to New York. She’ll be back soon.” I lied.
It hurt that I lied to her but it’s the only thing I could do.
“I miss her and can’t wait to see her again.” She said.

“Me too.” I said.

Chapter 5

Next Day
#Jay’s POV
I didn’t sleep all night.

Sleep never came..
I checked the time and it was 6:30am..

I got up, went to my wardrobe, searched for a trouser.

Pulled on a blue jean, and a black hoodie over the red shirt that I wore, got my boots on and walked out of my room..
I went into my mom’s room by passing through the door.
She wasn’t sleeping.

I know that.

She was in her glasses, going through her bible.
I inhaled and breathed out, “Im sorry mom.. I don’t know why no one can see me… But im back. Im home. It’s fine. Im going to find the only person who can see me. She’ll tell me what is really wrong with me.” I said.
She was all focused on her bible reading..
I turned and walked out, through the door just the way I came in.
I went to Vitoria’s room, passing through the door too and she was awake… Making a call.
“… He sneaked out two nights ago and he’s not been back since then. Yes, Jay Danne. Tall. With tatoos and golden eyes and golden hair. He’s exactly the one in the pictures that I sent. Yea… Alright.” She said, then dropped the phone.

She was sitting at the centre of the bed.
Then she pushed her hair back and put her hand on her jaw..

In thoughts..
Have she sent pictures to some police guys to look for me?

When Im here, looking at her?
Ah! This just gotta stop!
I turned and walked out.
I walked out of the front door, and out of the gate.
The streets were just starting to begin a new day.

Few cars passed..

Few guys working out..
With my hands in my pockets, I walked through and passed the streets, then came to where the streetcar, heading to Danar was.
I went in and this time around, I sat beside an old ugly lean man.

Don’t wanna experience that shit yesterday.
The man looked like rag, but I don’t mind.

He wore a brown face cap, with dirty black sweater and black trousers and was eating ch¡ps at such an early morning..

After few minues that the tramcar moved, he fell asleep.. with his head up and his mouth open.
………………………………………
Getting to Danar, and the tram stopped. I tried not to be the last to come down.
I trekked towards Learners Academy.. That was the school..
I passed through the crowded place yesterday but this morning, it wasn’t crowded.
When I got to the school, The gates were open, so I just walked in.
There were just the workers mainly the cleaners moving about.

I found the bus which i hide behind yesterday and I walked behind it and stood.
I don’t mind standing here for hours till she comes.

Once she drops her sister, then I’ll go to her car and stay where no one’s gonna notice if she talks to me..

or how do I just do this?
Whatever. I’ll just find what to do when the time comes..
…………………………………………
#Nana’s POV
“Kiki.. c’mon im late for work and you’re late for school. Eat up fast okay?” I said, getting her lunchbox and her school bag.
“Im filled up. Can’t eat more or im gonna throw up.” She said, pushing her plate of pasta away and going for her cup of water.

“No. Don’t throw up. Fine. Come on. We gotta leave now.” I said, running into the kitchen with the plates of remaining meal.
I dropped them in the sink and rushed back to her.

My skirt felt so tight and my blue heels made me feel horrible.
I love to be on trousers and sandals than this shit heels, but that’s the only thing my work permits. Tight skirts and heels that gives me freaking headache!
I helped Kiki with her school bag to her back, took my handbag, and Kiki’s lunch box and we walked out, locking the door.
We went into my car and I zoomed off.
“Nana… Do you think we are going to see the cute guy that you helped yesterday?” She said, bringing Jay back into my memories.
I smiled as I remembered the way he childishly did his l-ips side the car.. This car, there at the highway.
Arghh!

(smiling)
“Nana, why’re you smiling instead of answering my questions?” Kiania asked, looking too closely at me.

“Oh.. What did you ask sweetie?” I asked, totally forgetting what she asked me.
She frowned.
“Never mind again.” She said, and turned her gaze to the windscreen.
I car-ssed her cheek slightly.

“Please huh… Tell me Kiki honey. I promise to take you to watch Mr bones on saturday.” I said.
She giggled, then smiled.
“Do you think we are going to meet the cute guy you helped out yesterday? I really wish to meet him.” She said.

“Maybe. Im not sure about that.” I said.
I really wish to.. I really wish to.
She nodded.

“So is uncle Jardel coming with us to watch Mr Bones on saturday?” She asked.
I inhaled.
“Yes Kiki. He will.” I said.

“Yes!!” She yelled,raising her two hands high up.
Kiki! Im sorry, uncle Jardel isn’t what he really claimed to be.
He broke my heart. I wish I could tell you all this but I can’t.
…………………………………………
I got to school and searched around with my eyes for Jay but didn’t see him.
I took Kiki to her class and k-ssed her goodbye.
“Be careful. Love you sweetie.” I said.

“Love you too Nana.” She said and hugged me.
I left and walked down, back to my car..

but when I walked over to the right side of the car to enter into the driver’s seat..I saw him.
Jay
He was squatting down and when he saw me… He slowly stood up and we stared at each other.
I felt instantly happy that I saw him.

His dressing made him look like the bad guy that I guess he is and it fitted him just right..

I felt like rushing him into a hug.
When I noticed she was about to talk, I opened my car and got in, shutting the door..
I know im never gonna drive away like this but I gotta show my little pride.

He came to the window…
His golden eyes met with my brown eyes.

I know it looked perfect..
“Hey, im sorry. I’ve got alot to discuss with you.” He said.

“Really? so?” I asked.

“Let me in.” He said.
I svoffed even though it was a smile within.
“Im going to work. Im late already.” I said, going for the steering.
Just beg.
“No.. please. Just let me in.” He begged.

“You can’t go with me to my work place.” I said.
Beg Jay.
“Please. I don’t mind waiting in your car all hours till you close. I really wanna tell you somethings.” He said.
Well, do I care what you wanna tell me. Im just happy to see your cute childish face but rough self, and tattoed skin.
“Get in.” I said.

He first looked left, then right.. As if he’s about to steal something..
Me?
Then he opened the door and walked in.
He looked at me and smiled.
Wow.. such a cute smile you got guy.
“Thanks once again.” He said.
I ignored him and drove away, kinda confused with the way few people were staring at my car and at me.
Well, whatever!

Always tryna know who’s the guy with you!
As I drove out of the school, and into the road..

I decided to spill out the question which have been hanging in my throats since yesterday..
“Why did you leave that way?”
He stayed silence for awhile then looked at me with dull eyes.
“I’ll tell you the truth.” He said.
