The Night We Met

Chapter 28 Jace

I knew that I had fucked up with her but to keep her heart safe and pure I had to do what I was doing to her. She is too good for me to fuck up her life as I have done almost already. However, the thought of staying away from her is killing me. I love the way she makes me feel, and when she looks at me... it's like I'm the only one who can protect her. I love the fact that she needs me and I need her. I just keep fucking everything up...

Ding-Ding

Journey: Hey man we are all at Rush...wanna stop by?

Me: Who does the word "we" consist of?

Journey" 🙄 just get your ass here man.

Me: Alright I'm on my way give me 10 mins.

I know for a fact that Journey is at Rush with Stacey but I'm fucking hoping that Aspen isn't there. I haven't seen or texted her since I told her to stop trying to fix me and that was nearly 7 days ago. It's not that I did it on purpose I'm just fucked up in the head and the last thing I want to do like I said is take her down with me. Getting to Rush I can see through the huge glass windows that it's only Stacey there with Journey. I am so fucking relieved I did not want to face Aspen right now nor did I want to face Stacey. She's going to beat my ass. Walking into Rush I can visibly see that Stacey does not want me there nor did she know that Journey invited me I can tell by the look on her face. As for Journey he just looks like he is going to shit himself.

"Hey dude you made it," Journey said nervously looking at me. Stacey didn't even look my way she kept her eyes focused on the bathroom door. So I took it upon myself to speak first which I hope is not going to be a bad idea.

"Hey, Stace" nothing fucking nothing.

"Stacey did you.."

"I heard him" she cuts off Journey and folded her small arms looking at me. Her light brown eyes were piercing through my soul. Nothing ever scares me but this little firecracker scared me and not only that but the thought of losing her as a friend scared me the most.

"What?" I said without visibly showing my fear.

"Don't what me... I should beat your ass for what you said to my sister and you act like it's her fault. What the fuck kinda person are you, Jace do you.." she stops and looks towards the bathroom door. As it opens I see Aspen and she looks so beautiful. The way her long curly hair falls on her shoulders and the way that dress hugs all of her curves in all the right places. Everyone at the table went silent waiting for Aspen to make eye contact with the table. As she was walking up a short 5 foot nothing ass dude walks up to her and hugs her.

"Who the fuck is that?" I asked Stacey gesturing towards Aspen and the guy by the bathroom. Stacey looks at me and smiles. Fuck this why the fuck is she hugging another guy right in my face who the fuck does she think I am. I quickly stand up from the table as Journey tries to grab my arm.
