A Distant Voice || CLOSED

knock knock knock

“...Who is it?”

khhh….

“(huff) …t's me. …e got…. talk.”

rustlerustle, click, eeeeeeee…

“So. You got it too?”

“Not here! Leave your phone.”

…..WHMMPH.

“lead the way.”

shuffleshuffle….eeeeeeee, click.

……..

……..

“Fuck..! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!”

Jaiden slips off her headphones, haphazardly putting them down on her desk. Her breathing is erratic, she's staring at her screen as the sound waves flatline. She really did just leave her phone…! At Schlatt’s request!! What were they doing?? Where were they going?! Why did they leave their phones?!?! What if Jaiden needed her– What if–

Jaiden lets out a small gurgled whine as her teeth grit together, desperately trying to stop the spiraling thoughts that were cascading in her head. Her eyes are still locked on the screen, before her hands frantically begin typing and clicking away.

Quickly, she pulls up the campus surveillance system, clicking through just in time to see Tara and Schlatt getting in his car and driving away. Fuck! Without their phones on them, Jaiden couldn't figure out where they were going! She just recently started tapping into their microphones– Not even before she sent the emails! How did Schlatt figure that out so quickly..?!

She watches his car drive in view of the current camera, clicking through the rest of the cameras in an attempt to grasp what direction they were going. Alas, in her emotional frenzy, she just as quickly lost track of them. She stared at her screen, pondering the possibilities. God knows what they're doing– Why else would they need to be so secretive?! If it was “only a kiss,” why does it matter to the point where they need to sneak off?!

Why didn't anyone tell her yet? A small twisted part of her mind thought that at least either of her girls would reach out to her for support. But– They chose Schlatt. Did Jaiden even matter? Or did she just matter enough that they keep her around but do things behind her back? What kind of pawn was she?

Her birthday– Does anything mean anything anymore?

She frantically closes all of her tabs, grabbing her phone, and clicking through her contacts. She hasn't told Jacob yet. No one knows about her problem. The only person she could think of–

She presses call. She holds the phone up to her ear and listens to it ring.

brrrrrrr…

brrrrrrr…

brrrrr–

“...Jaiden?”

“James..!” 

She chokes out, almost like hearing his voice is a breath of fresh air. She's hunched over her phone, talking quietly like her own birds were spies. 

“Heyhey–! What’s going on–”

“I'm getting bad again.”

“...Like–?”

“Yeah. Except, I think I really fucked up this time…”

James is quiet on the other end, Jaiden was listening to his quiet breaths on the other end, waiting for his response.

“...What did you do, Jai?”

“I'm doing it again. But– I sent screenshots, and proof, and–!”

“Slow down. Start from the beginning.”

“...Okay.”

—

It took over an hour of explaining, recounting the details of each party, each instance, telling James which person was which, but when all was said and done, James had all of the information he needed to hear.

“...Jai.”

“...Yeah?”

“...Are you sure these people are good for you?” 

Jaiden is silent for a second. Longer than a second. She presses her lips together and takes a deep breath. 

“James–”

“No, Jaiden, I'm serious. I thought you were doing better. You haven't been this obsessed in a while.”

Jaiden is quiet again. He wasn't wrong. She was doing… Better. She had no urges to do any of this until–

Her feelings. For them.

“...So, what? Am I supposed to just stop talking to them?” Her voice is pained, frantic. Like she was given a terminal diagnosis.

“I don't know, Jaiden– Maybe take a break from all of this? Some distance may benefit you.” James himself sounds pained, but in a different way. Jaiden can't quite make it out. She's quiet, maybe for too long before James sighs and speaks up again.

“...Not forever. But, you gotta stop this for now. You already said they're getting suspicious and leaning on each other– Which is YOUR fault by the way.”

Jaiden winces at the last statement. It's not like he was wrong, and the bluntness of the truth is kind of what she needed, but… It didn't make it hurt any less. She's still silent, letting a stray tear fall from her eye down her cheek.

“...Everything will be alright, Jai. Things work out, you'll find new friends, whatever. Just… Try to get better, okay?”

Jaiden sighs, the tears she's crying drying up with the breath of air. It hurts. Everything physically hurts. But… He might be right.

“...Yeah…Okay,” She finally says softly, her eyes scanning the floor for nothing in particular. 

“...And Jai?”

“...Yeah..?”

“Curiosity killed the cat. Please be careful.”

Jaiden nodded, giving a small ‘mhm’ as her response, before saying her goodbyes and ending the call.

She placed her phone on her desk and stared into nothingness for a good second, just listening to her birds chirp and chatter in their cage. Maybe he was right. Maybe distance was needed.

She turned her chair and shut off her PC, deciding that if Schlatt and Tara and even Rose wanted each other that badly, that's what they could have. She didn't fit in the equation. If anything… She's the outlier.

With that, she lifts herself off of her desk chair and immediately crawls into bed, deciding that if she slept, she didn't have to think about it. And after a while of tossing and turning, slept she did.

But her dreams were entirely restless.

Completely of them.

[principal-of-business]

Jaiden or Tara?

You want me dead, anon.

[ja1-d3n]

Schlatt and Tara officially like each other and not you. Get away from them

i-

oh

...

...okay

[ja1-d3n]

You think having feelings for both of your friends is a good idea?

i don't know, i guess not...

i'm trying to figure it out, okay?

[ja1-d3n]

Your girlfriend is trying to fuck your boyfriend just FYI

...i mean... nothing is official between anyone so...

.....but yikes, that stings.

[principal-of-business]

You don't own any of these women, even though you could. Make a decision.

I’m getting tired of this.

Make a choice this, make a decision that.

Why am I the one left solely to make decisions here?

I’m not these girl’s fucking keeper or pimp, they can make their own choices!

[principal-of-business]

You could easily take Jaiden away from Tara.

You think I don’t know that?

[ja1-d3n]

Just let them all go, you don't deserve any of them

i know.

that's exactly what i'm doing.

[ja1-d3n]

Does it make you feel good?? Scaring your friends??

no.

it doesn't.

but does it make them feel good to keep things from me?

[ja1-d3n]

So you’re only holding out on Schlatt because of a promise???

because i want my first to be with Tara. i haven't gone that far yet, and if i'm going to, i need to talk to her first. she's important to me.

i doubt Schlatt thinks that im "holding out on him"..

[ja1-d3n]

You sure you want Tara to have your firsts? Schlatt's right there

i promised her. that means something to me.

i don't want to fuck up more than i already have.

[principal-of-business]

Take Jaiden's virginity before any of them do, that'll really show them

You want my head on a stick, don't you.

[ja1-d3n]

You think Tara isn't going to be pissed when she finds out?

i think she's allowed to feel whatever feelings she wants towards me at this point. i didn't say that i didn't deserve it.

my drunken curiosity got the best of me.

she's right, he's really good at pushing buttons.

maybe i should stop drinking...

[principal-of-business]

So why not date all of the girls at once?

You really think any of them would let that happen?
