Dollhouse

chapter fourteen

*tomorrow morning, ten am.*

Jackson POV :
Last night after that heated argument with jiha I went to Britney's apartment and stayed the night there, i couldn't stand another argument with jiha.
_Now that I'm thinking about last night I feel a bit guilty..where I left her was so far from the building.
But she probably called a taxi or so.
I sighed.
_Why am I feeling guilty now!? She got out of the car herself...but I told her to..god I'm going crazy.
Britney approached me slowly.
Britney : "are you okay Jackson? Why are you overthinking so much?"
Jackson : "well..last night after the party before i come here.."
Britney : "what about it?"
Jackson : "I argued with jiha ;a heated one and she really riled me up so I..i told her to get out of my car."
Britney : "what?"
Jackson : "in the middle of the road i threw her out of my car."
Britney : "..but why? That's not something you would do."
Jackson : "I know I know but I was so angry I wasn't thinking straight. I don't even know how did I get so angry."
Britney : "where did you leave her?"
Jackson : "a road far away from our building.
Britney : "well I guess you have to apologize her?"
Jackson : "definitely."

*an hour later*

Jackson POV :
After I had breakfast in Britney's apartment I came back home. I didn't know what to expect. Whether she will jump on me and attack me or mock me and give me sarcastic responses again. It seemed like she hadn't told anybody cause if she had I probably was in my dad's office. "Good, she's not so brat."
I looked for jiha through the apartment then I found her sitting on the couch in the living room, scrolling through her phone.
_hasn't she noticed me yet?
"Jiha..." But jiha stayed in the same position, not even bothering to look at me. I put my hands in my pockets. "Jiha..hey jiha Jones"
Jiha glanced at me shortly and turned her gaze back to her phone.
Jackson : "can you pay attention to me for a moment?"
Jiha : "..."
Jackson : "just a moment jiha"
"Now you call me with my first name?" She said while she was still scrolling through her phone.
Jackson : "I can call you Mrs jiha Jones too but for now just give me a moment."
Jiha : "no thanks" I scoffed and took a few steps closer to her then i snatched her phone. "I said one moment!"
Jiha : "hey! give my phone back dude."
Jackson : "dude?" I let out a huff. "Look I just want you to listen to me for a moment, that's it."
Jiha : "why? Do you wanna say sorry or something?" She rolled her eyes.
Jackson : "yes, I want to apologize."
Jiha : "oh so you know what it is."
Jackson : "just because I acted bad towards you doesn't mean I really am a jerk."
Jiha : "then don't act like it!" She held her hand out and I put her phone on her palm.
Jiha : "look whatever you're trying to say I don't care so do me a favor and go aw..leave me."
Jackson : "I just want to say sorry."
Jiha : "..."
Jackson : "i got so angry last night but still i shouldn't have throw you out;sorry."
Jiha : "sorry? I went out myself." Her tone was sarcastic, of course. She was about to leave the living room but I gently grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Jackson : "jiha! I'm talking to you."
Jiha : "and?"
Jackson : "I'm sorry alright? Sorry for leaving you like there on the road.it wasn't a sensible action."
Jiha : "apology accepted now let go of my arm." She doesn't seem like she did but who cares? I just wanted to get away from their guilty feeling. "but remember I only apologized because_"
"We had an agreement to not touch me without my permission,remember?" she cut me off with annoyed tone. I quickly let go of her arm. Then I sighed and went to my room to grab something but when I opened the door I froze.
"What the hell??? Jiha...so that's why she isn't angry. She already took her revenge... Damned brat." I narrowed my eyes.
Suddenly she appeared by the door frame.
"You're welcome!"
"There was no need to bother yourself." I said in irritated tone.
Jiha : "you deserve that dear! Don't expect me to come hug you after that."
Jackson : "jiha"
Jiha : "what?"
Jackson : "how did you came back home alst night?"
Jiha : "how was I supposed to come back?! Walking."
Jackson : "...sorry again..."
Jiha : "still you call ME brat." She rolled her eyes and left.
_she really came all this way by walking..
"What are you thinking Jackson!? God! I apologized and that's fucking enough, it wasn't all my fault,was it? a part of that was her fault and she knows it."

A few days passed, I and jiha weren't still talking so much or at all. Each of us busy with our job and everything was going normal but one day Mrs Jones called me and asked me to go visit her though....she told me not to let jiha find out. The first thing came to my mind was.
"Is she aware of the recent incidents??"
"Damn"
