Jordan watched as Rome sat down next to her. At first, she wanted to get up and find another place to sit, but something told her it'd be mean and rude. Jordan hated being mean and rude unless someone was like that to her first. She just stared out over the city. Not saying a word.
Then, Jordan finally spoke when Rome said something about their crowds. "Don't be sorry." She said in a quiet and slightly shaky voice. Jordan hated that. Whenever she's feeling like this she can make it seem like she's fine, but the voice. She can never change the voice to fit the act.
Jordan closed her eyes and took in a big breath and let it out. It was a very shaky breath. She still had her knees up and her arms around them. "Oww." She said in a very quiet slightly shaky voice. Of course my arm would start hurting now, at this moment, in the worst place, at the worst time. She thought to herself, winching a little as she touched the spot on her right arm right below the shoulder through the jean jacket she was wearing.
A small tear came from Jordan's eye. She just hoped Rome didn't see it. The last thing Jordan wanted to show was weakness. "Hey, do you have any pain-pills?" She asked Rome, her voice still slightly shaky. She didn't even look at Rome when she asked this. She was scared she would start crying or something. And that was the last thing she wanted to do. It seemed like her whole arm was hurting from the pain.
Then, something occurred to Jordan. "Why…" She said, her voice quiet and a little hoarse. She gave a small cough, then continued. "Why are you talking to me?" She added. Her voice was quiet, but not shaky. "I mean, I know Chase told you to talk to me, but you know as well as me that you don't need to listen to what he says so…why?" Jordan explained. She was still holding her knees, but she was looking at Rome this time. Then a small smirk came across her face. "You like him, don't you?!" She practically yelled, throwing her legs down over the edge, one leg over the other, and both hands on either side of her palms faced down on the edge. She just stared at Rome with this big smirk like she found out someone's big secret.
