《Little Rebel》Chapter 30
Advertisement
I woke up, but it wasn't the next morning. I could just tell.
Everyone was still asleep, it was dark out.
Groaning, I carefully climbed out of Cameron's arms and left the room, because I knew I won't be able to go back to sleep.
Walking around the house, I went in my room and grabbed my guitar.
I haven't played it in a while and I really need to practice.
I went out back and sat by the pool, pulling up music on my phone.
Tuning it, I started playing Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer.
"Jordyn?"
I jumped and turned to see Nash behind me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I should be asking you the same thing." He said, coming over and sitting next to me.
"Couldn't sleep." I shrugged.
"Same." He nodded.
I plucked quietly at the strings of my guitar as we sat in silence.
"Wanna go for a walk?" Nash asked randomly.
Looking at him weirdly, I shrugged. "Why not."
We went through the house quietly. I set my guitar on the kitchen counter and pulled on some black Uggs.
They didn't go with my pajama shorts, but who cares.
It was 2:00 in the morning. No one was going to see.
The two of us walked down the street, not saying anything.
"So you and Cam." Nash finally said, smirking at me.
"Yup. Sorry I broke up Cash or whatever." I shrugged.
He burst out laughing. "It's totally ok."
"Good." I smiled.
"It's weird." Nash said.
"What is?" I asked.
"Cam has never liked a girl, as much as he likes you, in barely any time. I mean, you haven't lived here for a while and he's already like in love with you." He told me.
"I wouldn't say love." I laughed nervously.

"I would." He said, looking me in the eye.
I bit my lip and looked at the ground.
"Can we talk about something else?" I asked quietly.
"Why? I'm not trying to be rude or mean or anything, but you guys are in a relationship, why don't you wanna talk about it?" He said, looking at me.
I shrugged nervously. "I don't know. I've never been good with talking about feelings or anything. For as long as I can remember I would just bottle everything up and never tell anyone anything. Plus, I'm new at this whole thing. I'm almost 18 years old and this is my first relationship."
"First? You mean you didn't even have one of those silly 7th grade 'relationships' that everyone had?" He looked surprise, making quotes with his fingers.
I nodded. "I was a...different kid back then."
"Different, how?" Nash asked.
"Weird." I said.
By now we had sat on the curb, and were just talking.
"I'm sure you weren't that weird." He laughed lightly.
"No, I was. I was literally that weird girl that every school had." I sighed, resting my elbows on my knees and putting me head in my hands.
"Yeah right." He rolled his eyes.
"Fine, don't believe the truth." I said.
Nash stared at me.
"Actually, ask Kian tomorrow, he gave me shit every day for making him that weird girl's brother." I told him.
"You mean today. It's almost 3:00 in the morning." He said.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes jokingly.
"I'm gonna stalk your facebook now." Nash said, after a while.
"Oh god, please don't." I laughed, but actually really didn't want him to.
"Nope, it's official. I'm doing it." He said, putting his arms behind him and leaning back on them.
"Ughhh." I groaned, laying down.

He laughed at me, then laid down also.
After that, we didn't say anything, just laid on the ground, staring up at the dark sky.
"I did this a lot when I was younger." I finally said.
"Did what?" He asked.
"Just came outside in the middle of the night and looked at the stars. I mean, I had no friends at that time so it was really lonely. But I don't know It helped me." I told him.
"Help you how?" Nash asked.
"Whenever I was stressed or having a bad day, or just sat and thought about how sad my life was, it made me feel better. Laying on the ground, in the middle of the night with just the stars. No noise, no teasing, laughing. No nothing. Just me and the stars." I confessed.
"Did you ever stop?" He asked, sitting up and looking at me.
"Not fully. I wouldn't do it for weeks, months even after things got better because of Perrie. But I would always come back." I said, not looking at Nash, but at the stars.
"Wow." Nash said quietly.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"We should probably get back." He said, standing up and wiping his pants.
"Ok." I said.
Nash held out his hand and I grabbed it, him pulling me up.
"It's Friday." I said as we were walking back.
"Yeah, so?" He asked.
"Perrie goes home today." I sighed.
"Oh yeah, she does." Nash nodded, rubbing the back of his neck.
I took a deep breath and watched the ground as I walked.
"How come you and Cameron are staying with us?" I asked.
"We bought an apartment together, but they had to fumigate the entire building, so we called your brother and he agreed to let us stay until we can go back home." He explained.
"When will that be?" I looked up at him.
"I'm not sure. Our landlord said he will call us when we can, but we haven't heard anything since he kicked us and everyone in the building out." Nash shrugged.
"That kinda sucks." I laughed quietly.
"Yeah, it really does." He laughed also.
We got back to the house and entered quietly.
"Tired yet?" Nash asked me as I took off my boots.
"Kinda." I said, yawning.
"Same." He nodded.
"Then lets get some sleep." I said, in a duh voice.
"That would probably be the best option, huh." He said.
"Yup." I said.
This time, I went up to my room, climbing in my bed as Nash went back to the living room with everyone else.
I plugged my headphones in and put them on, putting a playlist on shuffle.
See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth came on and I curled into a ball under my blankets.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I am so sorry that I haven't updated in almost a month.
But with testing and graduation was yesterday and everything that's been going on, I've been super busy.
There's been a bunch of drama and stuff between some of my best friends, so that has been giving me anxiety.
And I also didn't know what I was gonna do with this chapter, but today I ditched school because I can, and started writing, and this came out of it.
I hope you guys like it and it doesn't suck.
Btw, I get out of school Thursday, for those of you who are already out of school and curious as to why I ditched today and am not already out also.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
