Same Mistakes - Jace Norman

Chapter 18

Anna's P.O.V.

*read at 5:12*

I could see Jace saw my text, but why is he ignoring? I mean, he was the one who pissed my off and should be begging for MY apology, but instead, he's avoiding me like I did something wrong. Well did I?

I paced around my room , determining what I should do. Maybe I should confront him at his house? He can't ignore me if I'm face to face with him.

Why are boys so frustrating?

"Ugh," I let out a grunt and kicked a pillow that was laying hopelessly on the ground.

I decided I needed to talk to Jace, face to face. I quickly threw on some plain black Nike Pro spandex and a purple sweatshirt. I tossed my hair up into a cute, but messy bun and headed out the door.

I walked as slowly as I could to Jace's house. I was feeling nervous, but I didn't know why. I shouldn't be apologizing, it should be him. He should be the one that feels ashamed, not me. But for some reason, I dreaded talking to him.

I trudged up the concrete steps that lead up to Jace's front door. I awkwardly stood there, fidgeting my thumbs for a couple minutes. I finally rang the doorbell.

"Oh hi Anna!" Mrs.Norman greeted me happily.

I slyly smiled at her, then kindly asked if have was home.

"Yes, he is home. I think he's in the home theater with a friend. I was just leaving to go grocery shopping. Feel free to make yourself at home!"

Jace's mom squeezed past me and hopped into her Mercedes. I watched her drive off until I finally built up the courage to walk inside. I didn't know if I wanted to go talk to Jace, especially since apparently he had a friend over.

I took one last breath before I peeked into his home theater. He was watching Frozen. I couldn't quite make out who his friend was.

"Um hey." I quietly said. Two familiar faces turned around. Jace and Zari?

"Are you fucking kidding me Jace? You've been ignoring me for her?" I was absolutely furious. He has the audacity to "cheat" on me, then ignore me for some another girl?

"I didn't expect to see you here." Jace said quietly. "You haven't even talked to me in a while."

"Um I can just leave now." Zari quickly said getting up.

"No stay-"

"Yea leave." I said cutting Jace off.

"No seriously, please stay." Jace said.

"I don't want to get inbetween anything." Zari innocently defended.

I scoffed," you already have."

"She's done nothing but been nice to you. Why do you always have to be so rude?"

"Oh so now you're defending her?" I was on the verge of melting down. Seriously. Why does my life have to be so complicated.

"Guys I seriously should leave."

"Then go!" I exclaimed.

"No. You don't get to boss me around like that. Zari stay."

"Do you know the hell you've put me through Jace Lee Norman? I've stayed up all night crying about your sorry ass, and when I do actually forgive you, you're ignoring me for another girl?"

"I'm sorry okay?" Jace answered. He was looking down, feeling ashamed.

"Sorry doesn't cut it this time! You've made my life miserable, waiting for the day I can finally trust you!" I half screamed, half yelled at him.

"Then what do you want me to do? I said I'm sorry. I've begged for your forgiveness and all you've done is ignore me. I've given up!"

"Begged as in texted me a couple times then stopped talking to me?"

"You told me to stop talking to you!"

"DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT ME ANYMORE?" I instantly started to cry, Jace was being so obnoxious .

"Yes. You're the only one I care about." Jace said softly.

"Wait what? That's definitely NOT what you told me." Zari butted in.

"What the hell Jace." I couldn't even yell at him. I was too frustrated and upset.

"Zari, I'm sorry but the kiss wasn't real."

"You know what Jace, don't talk to me again, and this time. I mean it." I told him.

"Anna wait!"

I stormed out of Jace's house, and didn't look back. I was done. I couldn't handle it anymore. He was going to have to live life without me , for real this time.

Jace's P.O.V.

This was not going well. Anna came storming by, mad doesn't even describe what she felt like. What was worse was, I led Zari into thinking something false, and I feel horrible about it. 

"You told me to stop talking to you!"

"DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT ME ANYMORE?"

I froze for a second. I do, I really do care about Anna more than anyone could imagine. But I told Zari I'm falling for her, and she's standing less than a meter away from me.

I feel so guilty about saying this, but it's the truth.

"Yes. You're the only one I care about."

The words just spilled out of my mouth. I couldn't control it. Anna was the only one I cared about. And in a blink of an eye, there were two angry girls, instead of one. Anna stormed out, and I didn't even stop her because my head was spinning too much.

"Zari, I think you should leave, please. I'm sorry."

"I knew you were trouble." Zari glanced at me angrily and went home.

I really needed Anna to forgive me. I sat down on my couch trying to think of how she would forgive me, how she would truly see how I feel about her.

Something clicked in my brain. Of course! This is what I needed to
do. I just hope Anna will at least talk to me after this.
