His Little Ruin

My mother left an hour after Jaxon showed and before I knew it he had me against my kitchen door

"Jaxon we have a race to get ready for." I breathed trying not to let our lips connect

He groaned. "It's our race. We can be a couple minutes late. Maybe even an hour."

When he inched closer I could see exactly why he was here. His waterline was so red meaning he was just crying. Placing my hand on his face I caress him with my thumb

"What's wrong Jaxon?."

Inhaling he moves away causing my hand to drop at my side. He doesn't wanna speak about it but I do

We may not like each other but I want to comfort him at least

He lets out a loud sigh before sitting down. "Why couldn't you just ignore that and distract me Quinn."

Okay so someone's angry. But I don't think sex is something that will help him get his mind off of something that clearly has him emotional

"Even if we had sex you would still feel this way. And I don't do distractions."

Looking up at me through his amazingly thick lashes I could see a tear fall onto his cheek. "My mom's gone."

His mom. His sweet mom. Instead of saying anything I go in between his thighs and wrap my arms around him. His head lay on my chest

Poor boy. He has no one.

"She's proud of the man you've become i'm sure of it. Just know she will always be with you."

I kiss his forehead. And go back to hugging him as he silently sobbed. His tears soaked my shirt and I didn't care. I'll be his tissue anytime. No matter how many tears and holes I have in me

...

Of all nights we have the race on I didn't want Jaxon to race. I didn't want him to race me. He's too upset. Too angry

"I just don't think he should race with the news he has gotten earlier." I said to his best friend

Wyatt nods. "He isn't gonna back out Quinn. Just go get in your car and do what you came here to do."

I huff and walk away from the group before getting inside of my orange race car. Something felt off. I didn't know what it was

The countdown started and my fingers began to get slippery on the wheel. What are you so nervous about Quinn. I feel weird

Looking out of the window Jaxon was focused ahead. I was about to tell them to stop but Valentina's flag already went down and Jaxon raced off

Pressing against the gas I catch up to him and hit every curve. We had to go around four times the fourth was the last and right about now we were almost on lap three

Their track isn't all that big like mine but it's pretty good. Breathing in and out I'm almost at the finish line before Jaxon but I hold back

I let him win. He inches in front of me and once I knew he had won I press my foot on the break but the car didn't stop. My eyes went wide

Something's wrong with my breaks

I kept my foot off of the gas and just drove around and around everyone seemed so confused until I dialed Estella's number

"Quinn the race is over stop driving." she yelled through the phone

"My breaks aren't working."

I start to panic and so does she 

"Oh my god. Okay Jaxon's going to drive to you and when he's close you need to open your door and get inside of his car. Don't hesitate Quinn." she warned

Dont hesitate. I've never hesitated before but I'm afraid to get out of a moving car. I couldn't breathe right now

The sound of an engine gets closer and there he was in his car. The closer he got to the car I breathed normally

"Open your door and hop into the car carefully." he shouts opening his car door

My orange car will be gone for good. He wouldn't get his half of the deal

Nodding I open my door feeling a huge gust of wind blow in my face. My hair kept getting in my eye sight but I ignored it as I reached for his door

Placing my foot out I step into his car and let go of my car door going to hold his hand. I almost lose my footing but his hand pulls me into the seat of his car

"Thank you." I breathe before closing his car door. Looking back I watch as my car crashes into a cement wall catching fire

We pull up near the large crowd and get out. I didn't want to speak about it. So without looking anyone's way I walk away and to the concession stand we had

My car

I got that car when I turned 17. It was my dream car. Even though I would've lost it to the deal I made with Jaxon I would still get to see her being put to use. Good use

"You held back. You let me win." a deep voice filled my ears as I grabbed a hot chocolate from the sweet girl in the booth

I laugh. "You won fair and square Adler. I wouldn't just let you win."

Grabbing my drink from my hands he drinks from it. "Why?."

The question hit me. Why did I let him win?

"Why what?."

He hums before retreating. No the question I have right now is who messed up my breaks

"Quincy you okay?." Donovan asks handing the girl behind the booth a crisp 20 dollar bill

Mother fucker

This hot chocolate could be used for something real good. I wanna throw it right at his face

Burn

Violent images flash through my head. The images of his skin melting off of his face gave me ideas. Ideas Estella wouldn't be happy about if I actually let them happen

Squeezing my cup I slowly inch closer. The want of throwing this at his face was too much. I couldn't stop myself but a hand grabbed me pulling me away

"So tomorrow we're gonna go to brunch after the boys game. We need to freshen you and Estella up on hockey terms during that." Avery eyes me before giving her attention to Donovan

Defeated I place the drink down so I wouldn't hurt anyone. "Who said I was going to a hockey game?."

"Me"

We walk away from the stand and head to the parking lot where the rest of the group stood at different cars

Never in my life would I had known I'd be capable of being in a friend group

But yet here I am

"Nauseous from that incident earlier Quinn. You okay to drive home by yourself?." Hale asks opening his car door

"Yes," I said as I went up to my actual car. My only car. She's a beauty too but not for racing

Everyone bid their "see you laters" or "good byes"

"Wear your best hockey gear tomorrow ladies." Harley shouted before everyone beeped their horns and pulled out of the drive way

Leaving one by one

Oh fuck me

I have no hockey shirts or hoodies. Especially for our school team. What am I gonna do

Once I got to my apartment I was greeted by a hockey jersey sitting on the front of my door. Number 14

Jaxon Adler...
