I'll Make Me Perfect

Chapter 3

My eyes fluttered open when my alarm went off. Tapping the off button I remembered where I was. I was laying in my bed, in the same house as the two people who for sure murdered my heart. With my advanced hearing, I heard his heartbeat and soft breathing in a room down the hall. After listening to him for a little while, I realized something. Although it hurt I had to face the fact that Jax had moved on, he seemed happy with Megan and now I was the only one in denial. Because of this I decided to let the separation process begin. Obvisously we had no chance of being together so why watch and suffer?

Instantly when I made that decision I felt the pull between us become weaker. Even though the feeling of losing him hurt, I knew it was the right thing to do. I pushed my body out of bed and dragged my feet to the closet to pick out an outfit to wear to school.

School. It was my first day back at Pinewood High, the school was yet another thing I hadn't seen in a year. My thoughts drifted to school memories and people I had left. Would anybody remember me? Would anyone ask why I left? I should think so since I basicly disappeared that night...

I ended up picking out a pair of ripped jeans and a Skrillex concert shirt. After finishing my makeup and brushing my hair, I quietly opened my door in order not to wake anyone. I silently slipped down the steps to the tribe house kitken to grab a quick breakfast and leave.

When I entered the kitchen, both my feet and heart stopped when my eyes focused on Jax. His back was to me as he cooked his eggs on the stove, shirtless might I add. He was humming a tune that sounded so familar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Hell, I was skipping breakfast, I didn't need another run in with him. I slowly retraced my steps, my eyes never leaving his perfectly chizled back.

Just as I was about to slip out the front door, his voice stopped me.

"You know I can hear you, right?" he said almost smuggly. I was too embrassed to answer so I ran out the door slamming it behind me. As I sprinted to my car I could hear him calling my name.

"August! August wait!" Opening the door, I took a sharp turn to face him.

"What! What do you want Jax?" My voice cracked in pain. This conversation was making the separation process much harder to go through with. Just seeing him continued to strenghten the pull.

He paused, seeming surprised that I stopped at his call,"I made this for you, so you wouldn't be hungry." He handed me a muffin and two pieces of bacon wrapped in a paper towel. Before I could deny the food and give it back to him, Jax turned and ran back to the house without another word.

I stood there for a minute. Looking down to the small meal I wondered if completeing the separation process was such a good idea. Was I ready to let the other half of me disappear? Before I could think anymore second thoughts my common sence stepped in. Jax loves Megan, August. Not you, only Megan. Looking down at the wrapped food, I saw tear drops spash onto the towel, seeping into the fabric.

I threw the wrapped food on the ground, jumping in my car and sped off to school wiping away my tears. 

This was going to be harder than I thought.

When I slowed into the parking lot, I spoted a few only a hand full of famliar faces but no one I truely remember being close to. Not trying to form a pity party or anything, but before I left for Boston the only friend I had was Megan. I sighed, pulled my bag onto my shoulder, and pushed the car door open. Walking to the front entrance, I saw people's surprised faces and heard their whispers.  

"When did 'she' get back? I thought she died!"

I just ignored there comments and continued to walk like I heard nothing. When I entered my first class of the day retivering my notepad and pencil, I heard the screech of the chair next to me. Looking up, my blue eyes met with a part of green ones. Focusing on the boy's face infront of me, I noticed his hard angled jaw, full lips, and his jet black hair that sweeped over his pericing eyes. 

A low, melodic voice said," Is it ok if I sit here?" Shocked by this boy's-NO man's-appearence, the only word I could was a small 'sure.' He grinned and held out his hand.

"I'm Ace," he stated.

Taking his hand I replied more confidently," I'm August."

The handshake lingered for a little longer until the teacher came into the room. About half way through the lesson Ace leaned over to my ear and whispered,"So you like Skrillex?" I smirked and shout-whispered,"You're joking right?" Ace chuckled under his breath and continued the conversation until the end of the period. I learned that he loved Skrillex and was obessed with wattpad, like me.

When the bell rang and I was grabbing my books, Ace pulled me to the side out of the classroom. At first he hesitated but finally glanced at my with his stunning eyes, "August, would you like to catch a movie and maybe dinner on Friday night?" I smiled and noded.

"Yeah, thats sounds great."

"Cool, see you later." As he walked away with a happier attitude, a red flag went off in my head. Something or someone was watching me. When I did a 360 scope-out of the hallway, I could see past the crowd none other than Jax. Looking at his expression I could tell that he heard the conversation and was not happy about it. But what did it matter to him? He was with Megan now, and just because I was his true, REJECTED mate I couldn't see other people? Glancing at him one more time, I turned and walked away.

I was just about through with Jackson Adams.
