Chapter 3

A/N Picture is of Jax's younger sister, Kailee and his younger brother Max

*Jax's POV*

It's been two weeks. Two weeks without contact with Oliver. Sean and Mike are supposed to come back today since their suspension was shorter than Johnny's. I don't even remember when Johnny is supposed to come back, from the damage to his body he probably wouldn't be back for a while even if his suspension was for a longer period of time.

The day was dragging on. It was only third period, English with Ms. Lay and of course, Sean and Mike have yet to arrive. The final bell rang just as Sean and Mike were casually walking into class. Their fading cuts and bruises were still evident. Ms. Lay looked up from her computer at them, "You're lucky I'm a nice teacher, otherwise I would have marked you tardy unexcused which considering that it's you two it probably would have ended up being a detention since you have so many tardies."

Some kid said, "Burn!" while the rest of the class said "oohh." I looked up from the worksheet I had gotten from the front. Sean and Mike just scoffed but then made eye contact with me and their smirks immediately dropped and they scurried to their seats. I laughed to myself knowing they would probably be scared of me from now on because of Oliver. I noticed they kept taking glances at me as if they were afraid that I would do something to them.

Ms. Lay then went over the worksheet and handed out books that we were supposed to read as a class. The rest of the day dragged on as it did in the beginning. Sean and Mike didn't torment me as they usually do during the days and after school but whenever they would see me and I would see them they would make it their effort to avoid me. I'm not complaining or anything but it's just funny because they would make it their effort not to avoid me, "accidently" bumping into me making my stuff go to the floor and "accidently" stepping on a worksheet that I needed for the next period.

I sighed as I made my way over to my dark blue Scion FR-S, don't hate on the Scion it's a very nice car. I unlocked it and got in putting my backpack on the passenger seat since it's just easier for when I get out. I checked my phone before placing it in the center console as I started the engine. I pulled out with ease and made the same route back to my house. I parked in my spot in the driveway and grabbed my school stuff as I got out and locked the car behind me.

I did the usual, meaning getting food and a water bottle and headed up to my room to finish the little homework I had so the rest of the night I had free. I turned on my Bluetooth speaker and connected my phone to it to stream some music off of YouTube but more importantly 'Listen on Repeat' provided by YouTube. I selected a random song from my history that has been repeated once or twice before. It might be weird but after getting focused into my homework I barely notice the song on. It also saves me the hassle of finding songs after one is done. Knowing me I would get more distracted trying to find something and click on something completely different.

I finished my homework within a half of an hour. Well, since I don't have anything else to do I might as well sleep. I woke up about 3 hours later as the time on my phone read 6:15. My stomach growled as I heard a soft knock on my door. "Jax, I just wanted to let you know dinner will be ready in five minutes," my mom's voice sounding as soft as her knock through the door.

"Alright be down in a minute I have to change." I replied while stripping from my now wrinkled khakis and teal polo and my lanyard which was the school's uniform. I put on a pair a black sweats and a sleeveless shirt. I made my way downstairs skipping the last two steps and going towards the kitchen to see if the food was done. I walked in seeing no one there but the platter of my mom's Stromboli sitting there. I looked around just to make sure I was still alone and darted to the plate to get a piece before dinner. Right before I could grab one my mom's scolding voice stopped me, "Jax Greyson you do not get to steal food before dinner," she said as I turned around empty handed.
