Jace
I got home after weeks since I last visited, I am a busy man, a businessman. And me staying away is good for both Hazel and I, I thought as we grew up we'd grow closer but I seem to annoy her everytime I speak and she pisses me off everytime she tries to ignore me. Which off I'm being honest, I deserve.
"Ma? Hazel? Anybody home?".
I locked the door then threw the keys on the table and took off my jacket and hung it up, the only thing in my mind being the cold beer in the fridge and I took a sip and let the beer do it's wonders after a long, hot day, there's nothing nicer like coming home to a cold beer.
I looked around the house, not sure whether I really heard that or it's just my mind and the beer but I did what anyone would do, which was to pull out a knife from the knife set. I looked down at it and chuckled, taking another sip of the beer and marched to Hazel's room, it was lit, I cussed under my breath, she could be in there with him and the knife can kill him or just scare him away. I shook his head and pushed the door lifting up the knife, ready to do one of the above.
"Hazel, what the fuck? Are you tryna give me a heart attack?".And she just turned the other way around giving me her back, not now, seriously."Are you okay? Why are you crying? Right, he did something didn't he? He cheated on you? Of course he did, I told you didn't I?".
I seemed to be having that conversation all by myself, I am answering my own questions and I sound so happy and so sure and so proud and I shouldn't be.
"Leave me alone, Jace".
"Trouble in paradise. Hazel come on you decided to date a jock, who's an asshole by the way, don't tell me you weren't expecting him to cheat, I mean seriously Hazel, you can't expect him not to cheat, you are not even a 10". I kept moving closer and closer till I was literally behind her, ready to annoy her even more.
I turned around pushing him on the chest, I decided against the punch."Get the fuck out of my room!".
I stopped smiling and just looked at her and she turned around again, I looked down at her ripped jeans and not because of fashion, I then looked up at her t-shirt sleeve also ripped, I swallowed hard and backed away a little.
"Hazel, what happened?".And she said nothing."Okay, you can either tell me or Adelle now you know how that will work out".
"Please leave me alone, just this once, please".
"Not happening Hazel, now what's wrong?".I asked already feeling my heartbeat hitting the roof and my brain going crazy, I'm not sure I want to know but I have to know."Hazel...".
"He...!".And that was it, she just bursted into tears again.
"Did Zamani... Force himself on you?".More tears, I moved towards her and sat a little further away."You need to tell me what happened Hazel".
"It... Wasn't Zamani".
"Who?".I brushed my forehead, I'm losing my mind."Hazel, who?".
"I... Fought Jace".
"If it wasn't Zamani then who the fuck was it? God damnit Hazel, will you just tell me?!".
"I don't know him, Jace, he just came out of nowhere!".
"What does he look like?".I watched her still crying."Hazel".
"Huge and scary, Jace!".
"Does he have a tattoo on his neck and a scar on his forehead?".
Jace stood up so fast the bed moved, he marched straight for the door, I stood up and followed him, I know what happens next and I'm not looking forward to that.
