When you were still sane

Inquisitive

inquisitive (adj) eager for knowledge; intellectually curious.

"I can feel the draw, I can feel it's pulling me back."

Jax PoV

Someone so young, so beautiful, should not have so many lines on her forehead when she looks up.

worry lines my mother called them.

As my eyes sweep her body for any damage. As she shifts, her sleeve pulls up. I see the scars.

someone so beautiful should not be so hurt.

so damaged.

I clench my fist and find the courage to approach her.

"Hey." I try to make my voice sound carefree ,but really I wanted to hold onto her and never let go.

She looked around, then to me, she seemed surprised someone approached her.

"Oh.. hi." she gave a shy smile and a little wave.

"I'm Jax and you are..?" I tried to ignite a conversation clumsily.

"Jax? .. like the cleaner Ajax?" She began to laugh and it was musical.

"A nickname for Jackson.." I grinned at her.

"I'm Ash." She cracked a tiny smile.

"Like the volcano ash?" I flashed her a cheeky smile.

She only smiled then, as her eyes suddenly dulled of its sparkle, it made me depressed to see.

"I have to go." She whispered.

"I'll come with." I boldly stated, following her out of the dry cleaners despite her protest.

Ash PoV

He shouldn't be following me.

He shouldn't be following me.

He'll soon find out how truly insane I am.

How, I'm barely hanging on.

How, I'm barely scraping by for Danielle.

"You should go." I state as we reach the rusted gates.

He only snorted and pushed the gates open, walking towards the crumbling mansion.

"You should really leave." I try to be more forceful with my words, but considering I'm so petite he probably didn't take me seriously.

"Know this," he got close to me, VERY close, uncomfortably close.

"When I take interest in someone I don't intend on leaving them, I don't intend on quitting on them." he was so close. oh god. so close.

"I don't even know you." I stepped back and ran up the stairs, fumbling for the keys in fear.

"Then learn to know me" he whispered. The dude was a ninja.

I dropped the keys and cursed, breathless and fearful.

"Good day to you, Jax." I picked up the keys and opened the doors, shutting them and locking it quickly on his stupid dopey handsome face.

"See you tomorrow." he called through the door.

what is happening?

Jax PoV

I saw a girl walk out the rusted gates but it wasn't Ash, she looked a lot like her though.

She was accompanied by another girl.

Smoke went out her nose like a dragon and she even carried herself in a bold way.

"I'm telling you, Dani , the party will be great." She grinned like a chesire cat.

" It's next month so lay off the weed, Dapne." Ash's lookalike snapped.

I was so very intrigued, no.. infatuated, by Daphne, just as I was about to follow them I heard the house doors open and Daphne completely vanished from my brain.

Ash warily watched the two girls like a mother would her children.

They couldn't possibly be her kids?

Did she look younger then she actually.. no, that's ridiculous.

Once the two girls disappeared, I ran up, completely forgetting I had been hiding.

"Jax!" She hissed, stepping backwards, trying to grasp the handle.

"Ash." I kissed her cheek and her face washed in a bright red.

"Go away." she glared.

"I can't help it love, I'm inquisitive about you."
