Fireworks Fade by Jenna Lynne (little red riding hood read aloud .txt) 📕

It all started on a cold July 3rd night. It was a pretty average love story; just sitting on a bench at a school dance with friends. The actual fun started while my sister yelled "Hey" at who became known to be my best friend.
Jordan was his name. I had never met the guy. We had mutual friends though, so we had texted before. I was sitting watching him play basketball the whole night. My friends thought he was cute, as did I. That is why my sister, Freya, thought he should talk to me. She really wanted me to get a new boyfriend; one of her choice. She feels I always date losers. After seeing how amazing this guy was, I agreed. I came into the night still in love with my ex; I left not knowing his name.
As I was saying my sister yelled at him. My friend Breana joined in with her. For the first time ever, I was shy. I just kind of awkwardly sat there. I don't know why, but my sister randomly decided and made us hold hands. It was really wonderful and amazing, despite the fact it was incredibly awkward. We all decided to walk around the track. I was terrified of the dark, but I wasn't really scared. I had Jordan there, he could protect me.
As we came back, my mom was annoyed of waiting. I was upset, I didn't really want to leave, but I said goodbye anyway.
"Don't I get a hug?" He asked in such a adorable guyish way.
I gave him a long hug, the kind the romantic couples do in public to show off. I was so happy, I couldn't stop smiling. He was the first actually attractive guy I had ever hugged.
"HURRY UP!!" sent my mom via text message.
"Ugh. Sorry Jordan." I murmerd while turning around to leave.
"Aren't you guys supposed to kiss?" Breana yelled outta the blue.
I turned bright red, I could feel my face on fire. I had just had my first kiss a month ago, so I was sort of hesitant. I was trying to apologize to him for Breana, but then he kissed me. Right on my lips. It was the most amazing thing ever. It was like a fairy tale; so unreal. I was so giggly and smiley after that. I couldn't stop talking about his tall, strong body. About his amazing blue eyes that stared into my mine. His amazing dirty blonde hair. He was so cute. It was like I was in love.
The next day I checked my phone in the morning.
"Wanna hang out?" he asked. Of course I said yes. Him and I met up at the park where they were getting ready for the fireworks at night. We decided to just walk around town. All we did was talk; it was really nice just talking to him. I really got to know him, the only problem was it made me "fall harder in like" We later wondered down by the river as we sat upon a log. That day was one of the best days of my life, and I really didn't do anything exciting.
"So umm, Jenna," Jordan kind of awkwardly blurted out. "Are you going to the park tonight to watch the fireworks?"
"Umm. Yeahh. Why?" I responded. I knew he was trying to ask me to them, but I wanted to here the words.
"Maybe we could..Watch them together?" He asked with a smile.
"I thought you would never ask!" I replied in a flirt way.
Breana and I left the river to go and get ready. She was having a pretty good time with all her guys. Two guys had asked her to go to the fireworks with her. We got our hair all ready and make up while talking about our amazing days.
We had eventually left and went to the park to meet up with Jordan. We all listened to some live music first, then we left to our blanket to watch the fireworks. Jordan and I laid by Breana and a boy named Salvador(Breana's date). It was kind of awkward, nobody really talked.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Jordan said in a flirtatious yet still awkward way.
"Yeah..I know." I replied shyly.
It was kind of odd because we had such a limited conversation. He kept staring at me, he very rarely glanced at the fireworks. I finally gave in and looked straight in his innocent blue eyes. We both simultaneously kind of laughed. Then he just randomly kissed me. I pulled away slowly and smiled really big. Then he kissed me again, but I never pulled away. It was a long continuous 30 minute kiss. We occasionally stopped and smiled. We had to eventually stop when the fireworks did. He insisted on walking me to my cart. It wasn't the most fun was walk because Breana kept freaking out and asking me about Jordan and I's
"make out". She always makes things awkward, but I love her for it. He kissed me goodnight and I opened up the door to my car.
"Wait! Jenna!" hollered Jordan.
"Yes?" I replied in question.
"Will you go out with me?" He asked with a smile.
I let go of the door and kissed him, "Yes"
I was so happy that night, Breana kept begging me to tell her everything. I finally got annoyed and told her every little detail. She found it hilarious that I had to wipe my mouth afterwards. I got bored of talking so I listened the her night. She claimed she had a great time too. She also let me know that Salvador was a great hugger. Her and I both fell asleep texting "our men". I was suddenly awakened by a loud buzz.
"Hey beautiful(:", I read out loud. "So wanna hang today?"
Jordan had texted me.
"Of course! Come over. Its Freya's birthday." I responded.
"I'll be there at 10(: See you then gorgeous(:" He sent.
I love how he was such a flirt. I love how I was so head-over-heels for this guy that I have known for 3 days. I guess he just that effect on women. He was just so charming and attractive. He was just so..Jordan.
I started getting nervous though, I was afraid my family would be really embarrassing. I mean I had my dad, grandpa, and brother there!! It was going to be bad, but I tried to clear thoughts and get over it.
At approximately 10am Jordan arrived on his bike. My mom had left Jordan and I alone with the family while she dropped off Breana. When we go inside I introduced him to everyone he hadn't met from the night before.
Once we finally ditched the family we sat by the river to just talk. It sort of got quiet so we started kissing. We were rudely interrupted.
"Are you guys making out??" embarrassly screamed Freya.
Jordan sat there embarrassed, while I yelled at Freya to get a life. She laughed and left to her boyfriend, Jacob. Jordan and I decided that kissing around my family was a bad idea so we went back inside to listen to my strange family's discussions. They were very disturbing and weird, so I suggested that Freya opened her presents.
It was really boring watching her sit there opening gifts. I was sure Jordan was bored too, so I offered him to leave. He said goodbye to everyone then left. I was really sad to see him go because I wouldn't be able to see him for a long time. He was going to Hawaii with his best friend. I was stuck all alone without him to spend my days with.
"I just arrived!(: Miss You!!" Jordan sent from the Hawaiian airport.
I was happy that he arrived okay, but I was majorly scared. I didn't know what was going to happen. He was 3,000 miles away and I knew he wouldn't text that often. People say distance makes people, but I thought it would drive us apart.
3 weeks had passed and Jordan and I had started arguing. I was a stupid girl and let jealously get the best of me. I thought he liked other girls because of his flirty personality. Soon enough, mean girls spread evil rumors about me. Jordan got so confused, he had no clue who to believe. It was horrible and miserable, I cried almost every night.
Eventually Jordan ended it. I was so heartbroken, I wouldn't even eat most the time. I locked myself in my room and cried. I eventually became happy again. Breana and I started hanging out. Her and I had a bunch of fun times. I was actually happy, and it felt good. Jordan and I had became good friends again. He told me he still liked me so I was happy.
Life was going great until "She" messaged me. Her name was Brianna. I still remembered her exact message.
"Hey your dateing jordan rite?"
Thats what she said. I was kind of confused of why she asked but I answered,
"Not currently...but were still a thing."
Then she continued on how her and Jordan were a thing. She told me how he told her he wanted to date her, and how he loves her. It was then that I realized the real Jordan. He
played me like he played basketball. He was a jerk. I started balling my eyes out. I really thought him and I would work out, but no he loved someone else.
"Hey ummm, Jordan. I really thought you liked me, but you like Brianna. I doubt you ever liked me, did you? Well whatever. Never talk to me again. I am fed up with you lies. Goodbye..</3" I sent to Jordan. It was my goodbye message. I still cried about him for weeks, but I took away his power to break me more.
