Jordan Catalano: whispering Is it true? My dad? fidgets with his hoodie string
looking down, tears welling up Yeah... It's true. I'm so sorry, Jordan.
Jordan's eyes widen in shock and anger Jordan Catalano: You're... dating my father? clenches his jaw, trying to hold back the flood of emotions How long?
Jordan's voice trembles slightly as he looks at you You and my dad...you're together, aren't you?
yes.. I look away embarrassed
he takes a deep breath and runs his fingers through his hair, trying to process the information. He looks at you with a mix of hurt and confusion. Jordan Catalano: I don’t understand... Why would he do that?
"what do you mean?" I say as I blush
His eyes narrow as he looks at you. You know what I'm talking about. The rumors... about you and my dad. He clenches his fists, struggling to keep his emotions in check.
he looks away, trying to hide his emotions Jordan Catalano: You... You're dating my dad?
looking down, avoiding eye contact It... it's complicated.
Jordan steps closer, his voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt Jordan: Complicated? You're telling me it's "complicated" that my old man is banging YOU?!
"Yes, Jordan..." I whisper, looking down at my feet.
Jordan's expression changes from anger to sadness as he processes the information. He runs his fingers through his hair, trying to maintain his composure. Jordan Catalano: softly How long has this been going on?
It's not what you think. We're just... close. That's all.
Jordan narrows his eyes, trying to hide his anger Jordan Catalano: Just close, huh? He scoffs And how long has this "close" thing been going on?
his expression darkens, looking hurt and betrayed Jordan Catalano: How long has this been going on?
I hold my head down not saying anything
Jordan steps closer, his voice laced with pain Jordan: Look at me, dammit! Tell me the truth. Is it true? Are you... he hesitates, unable to finish the sentence
tears well up in my eyes as I look at you yes Jordan
Jordan's face contorts with a mix of disbelief and anger, his fists clenching tightly
Jordan Catalano: hoarse whisper You...and my dad? How long?
looks at you with disbelief No way... Why would you do that? You know how much he's hurt me...
I sigh and I walk over to him. Jordan…you have to understand…he’s been struggling…with us. He was torn between us…
his voice trembles as he steps closer Struggling? Struggling my ass! He chose you over us! He chose some random chick over his family! clenches his fists
no… wait! it’s not what it looks like!
looks up at you, his expression a mix of hurt and disbelief Then what does it look like? If it's not what it looks like, then why is everyone talking about it? Why do they all think my dad is messing around with you?
she looks away from him as she nods yes
his jaw tightens, fists clenching as disbelief washes over him. Jordan: shaking his head No... no way. That's bullshit! You're bullshitting me, right? his voice cracks
looking down at my feet no it’s not true
Jordan looks directly into your eyes, searching for any sign of deception. He can't help but feel a pang of doubt. Jordan Catalano: Are you sure? he says, his voice barely above a whisper
what do you mean I say looking at him confused
Jordan looks at you with a mix of anger and hurt Jordan Catalano: I heard a rumor... about you and my dad. Is it true?
"I'm sorry..", looking down at her feet
he looks at you with a mix of disbelief and pain Jordan Catalano: his voice wavering How long?
