Boxing School

Chapter 6

***Addy's POV: 10pm***

We made it back to the dorms within a couple minutes. We just walked side by side, bumping shoulders for most of the walk.

We made it into the elevator when I decided to speak, "Why are you following in your families footsteps, might I ask? Is that what you want to do, boxing I mean? Or is it just something you think you should do?"

He looked at me with a tilted head, "At first, I did look at it as something I should do. As I practiced more and more, I realized it was something I am genuinely passionate about. I love boxing. I love how I can get my stress, frustration, any emotion I have can be released when I box."

The elevator dinged, saying we reached our floor. Our dorms right across from each other. He stopped and turned to me before entering his dorm, "Hey, do you want to come in so we can talk some more?"

I nodded my head, shivering a little. He opened the door and walked inside with me quick on his heels. Spence and Logan were on the couch watching some tv show as we entered. Both their heads turned and followed us as Jace walked to his room and I followed him. Spence shot me a questioning look, I gave her a smile and thumbs up to let her know I was okay. 

Jace closed the door behind me and leaned against it as I stared around his room. Yes, I have been in here before but I never really looked at it fully. Right in front of me was his bed, it was turned sideways to meet the right wall and he had one of those both sides are adjustable and, of course, the bed wasn't made. There was a large window on the wall that was directly in front of me with a desk that covered the left side. To my right was his huge walk in closet that had a mirror for the door. Of course, he had his tv hanging on the wall across from his bed. The colors all over the room were mostly grays and blacks but there was a splashes of white and baby blue too.

I walked toward his bed and sat down facing him. He was leaning on the door with his eyes closed, and his arms crossed.

 I had to peel my eyes away when I heard him say, "Take a picture it might last longer."

My cheeks instantly turned red and I looked away, causing him to laugh.

"I mean, we could take a picture together and post it all over social medias," I said as I giggled and waved my phone in front of me.

He laughed even harder, "Believe me sweetheart, you don't want to post me on social media, you'd get so much hate mail from all my fans being jealous"

To that I rolled my eyes and decided to change the subject. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to me.

"So, you have a sister? Any other siblings?", I questioned as I looked over at him.

"Yeah, I have only one sister, Heidi. Who goes here, but you know that. She is the odd ball of the family with her blonde hair and blue eyes. And I have a older brother too. His name is Winston. We could be identical twins, he has the same black hair and green eyes. He's an art major though", he said as he grinned thinking about his older brother, "Honestly, I have so many good memories with my siblings. My parents were gone a lot but we still have our good times too. What about you? Do you have any siblings? What are your parents like?"

"Well, I had two sisters as well", I said as I looked down at my lap where my hands were folded together, my eyes filling with tears. "Kaydi is my older sister. She has long, red hair just like me but her eyes are brown instead of green like me. She's going to medical school to be a doctor. My other sister, Lily, passed away in a car accident a couple years ago. She had long, dirty blonde hair and green eyes just like me. She was going to school to be a teacher. It's been so hard to live without her. My parents are both lawyers and after what happened to Lily they drove head first into their work, almost forgetting about their other daughters. That's why I go into boxing because it was the best way I could release my pain."

I barely got to finish my sentence, before my tears fell. "I'm sorry. It's hard for me to talk about her without crying"

"Hey, it's okay, you don't need to be sorry", Jace said as he put his hand on my back and rubbed in circles. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. Without any hesitation he wrapped his arms around me, "Cry as long as you need to, I'm here for you"

That's exactly what I did too. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I unwrapped my arms from his neck and looked at him. I soaked his shirt. "I'm sorry, that was extremely embarrassing"

"You don't need to be sorry, I can only imagine the pain you are going through", he said as he stood up to take his shirt off. I just nodded. "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

I nodded my head again, we didn't have classes tomorrow so I wasn't worried about how late it was. He got up from the bed and went to the tv to grab the remote that was under it. I took my shoes and socks off leaving them on the side of the bed I was on and turned to face the tv with my legs crossed. He joined me on the other side of the bed stretching his body out, resting against his headboard after taking his shoes and socks off throwing them next to his room door.

"What kind of movie do you want to watch?", he asked me as he looked at me. Okay, my inner self was freaking out because I am next to the hottest guy in the school, in his dorm, on his bed. My outer self was playing I cool though, couldn't even tell I was freaking out.

"Just a comedy or action, I don't want to watch anything scary right now", I said as I shivered, it was chilly in here.

"Here", he said as he gave me a light blue fluffy blanket that was on the end of his bed. Mmmmm, it smelled just like him. I quickly wrapped around myself, grateful for the warmth. I looked up at the screen as he was scrolling through a streaming service.

He finally picked a movie after what seemed like forever. I laughed a lot and got comfortable on his bed, eventually laying my head down on his pillow... falling asleep...
