''Oh my lord, Jax.''

So after reading this through, I realize it sounds a lot like one of the chapters from a book by @CamilaReadsBooks so credits to her and go read her book it ✨slays✨

Ok, enjoy!

I storm down to the infirmary, steaming. I cannot believe him. How many times have I told him to control himself? I burst through the door, and come face to face with Nurse Cathy.

"Where is he?" I demand politely. She sighs, then points to the door to where he's being kept. On the way, I pass Jack, who sneers at me.

Jack hasn't been kind to any of us the past few months. In fact, he's gone out of his way to make us miserable. All because of his girlfriend, Amy. I never liked her much, she always acted like she was on top of the world. Once, I voiced my disliking of her, and when my friends agreed, Jack got mad. Not to mention Amy feeding him countless lies about us.

"What do you want?" He snarls. I roll my eyes, and continue walking. I open the door to Jax's room. Well, more like slam it open.

I watch as he jumps from the sudden noise. His eyes dart to me, then away, then back again.

"Hi thief!" He greets me as if he didn't do anything at all. He's not getting out of it that easily.

"Why'd you do it?" I scold him, "You know how much I hate it when you get in a fight with someone. I specifically told you not to get in a fight with Jack!" He rubs the back of his neck.

"Did you?" He tries. I shake my head, disappointed.

"You've gotta understand that you can't just punch your way out of things, prince," I sigh, "That's not how you deal with things. And even if he was being annoying, why didn't you just ignore him like I told you too?" He looks down at his hands.

"I just- he thinks it's ok for him to talk trash about y- our friends," He explains, "And honestly speaking, if Amy never came, I probably would've never done it. I never liked him but he was more bearable before she came into his life."

"Why?" I question. At his confused expression, I decide to elaborate. "Why didn't you like Jack? You seemed to have hated him even when he first came." His eyes dart around the room, more so than usual, and he fidgets with his fingers. It's normal to me by now, though some others still find his ADHD annoying.

"Well- um- it's just that-" He stutters. I narrow my eyes.

"What?" I demand. I realize that I've been demanding a lot today.

"Fine! I was jealous, ok?" He blurts out. I blink.

"Of?" I prompt.

"I was jealous that you got along so well with him," He sighs, "I thought that maybe- maybe you-ugh- liked him."

"Me? Like him?" I laugh, "Honey, half the time I hung out with him because I thought that maybe he would understand me better. I thought that you would find my problems weird. I mean, come on, I was hysterical that my sister decided to leave me. You would never have that problem." I walk towards his bed, and sit next to him.

"Gilly," He frowns, "Don't undermine your problems. Your sister that you trusted had betrayed you. You had every right to feel upset. I was supposed to be your best friend, and instead I left you when you needed me most." I sigh in relief.

"What?" Jax asks, confused.

"I've been waiting for you to say that," I smirk, "I mean, it only took you 5 years to realize your mistake." He rolls his eyes and I laugh, pulling him into a hug. I'm so lucky to have him as a friend, even though I would never tell him.

"Why wouldn't you tell me?" He asks, smiling. I pull away. Of course I said that out loud. I'm Gillian Cobbler, after all. Heroine and total blabbermouth.

"Because your ego would grow bigger than your mouth," I tease. He fakes hurt, and puts a hand to his chest dramatically.

"How could you ever say such a thing?" He gasps. I roll my eyes, and push his shoulder playfully. He takes a strand of my hair and swirls it around with his finger.

One week later

"So how was it?" Jax asks me, leaning against the door to my room in the infirmary.

"Worth it," I respond immediately. He laughs, then sits beside me on my bed.

"I'm still mad y'know," I tell him, "For the Jack thing. I wasn't even the one that punched Amy, I just instigated."

"Mad enough to say no to a date?" He wiggles his eyebrows. I sigh.

"Oh my lord, Jax."

So this was considerably short, but i needed to do this, because I hate jack, but I can't hate without reason.

So I made a reason because it wouldn't be civil of me to hate him for no reason. So now I have one!

Honestly speaking, Amy is such a pretty name that this character should apologize to her parents for disgracing it.

Anyway, byeeee! <3
