I have a feeling you guys are really going to like this chapter! So I can't wait to read your comments on this one :)

Jenna takes me to quickly grab my stuff and go out to the parking lot. The whole time I'm barely paying any attention to her, instead my mind is whirling at Mason's news. That Tony told Mason I gave him a blowjob. I wince at the thought and pull my jacket tighter around me. It's not cold, but I could use the comfort. 

Jenna bites her lip "You okay?"

I shrug "I don't...I don't know" 

She tilts her head "What's on your mind?"

I look down kicking a stone near my shoe.

 "Why..why me? Why this?! He doesn't even know I'm gay so why tell Mason I did...that with him?"

Jenna bites her lip as if considering it.

 "I don't..maybe he..the guy crazy okay. I seriously think you should tell Gage maybe he needs professional help!"

I chuckle at that, but it's not actually funny. It's just too scarily true.

"I'm sure he does, but I can't tell Gage" 

Jenna shakes her head and stops walking crossing her arms. 

 "Why not?"

I shrug because I don't see a point in telling Gage. 

 "What would it change? He'll tell Tony to back off, beat him up, but Tony is Tony he'll just come back at me harder"

Jenna doesn't look happy with my answer but just sighs and nods toward the school.

 "Here comes Mason"

I look to where she's gestured and sure enough Mason is stalking towards us determinedly; Gage's keys in hand.

He grunts once he reaches us "Ready?" 

I nod "Oh yeah"

The idea of not having to face Tony seemed good before, but now realizing I'll be alone in a car with Mason it seems less appealing. Jenna gives me a hug and tells me she'll get the work for me before heading to the school.

 I turn to the car and climb inside. Mason joins me and immediately sighs.

 "Listen"

I tense not wanting to talk about it, but I do as he asks and listen.

"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to get so upset I didn't believe you would actually do it. I was just angry. I didn't want to imagine you with him."

I make a face "You imagined it?" 

He grunts "Yeah. Wasn't good and it just became like a constant loop in my head"

I bite my lip feeling bad because that does sound terrible. 

"Oh..sorry" 

He scoffs "Why the fuck are you apologizing?"

I glance down at my lap. "I don't know" 

He purses his lips together. "Don't 't apologize for something that piece of shit did"

I nod slowly "Okay"

He shakes his head "Are you..ok?"

I shrug telling him the truth.  "I don't know. Honestly, I'm just baffled"

He nods "That's understandable" 

I look out the window at the school. 

"I almost want to laugh...is that weird?"
