Chapter Thirteen

POV- willow

My breath hitches.

" Myles?" I am greatly taken aback.

" it's been awhile huh?" he asks.

" yeah, a long while. " I say.

Myles was my best friend in middle school. I had the hugest crush on him. The feelings weren't mutual. I was always being teased and I would hide behind his shadow while he defended me. Over the years he was a knight in shining armor to me, it was natural I'd developed feelings for him. In the summer before eighth grade I poured my whole heart out to him. I even kissed him! The look in his face said it all. I still remember his words.

" oh willow, I'm so so so sorry. I just don't- your my best friend. I don't wanna lose that." the sympathy was all over his face.

Those sweet sweet chocolate brown eyes had broken my heart.

At least he tried to be as nice as he could about it. But he must have been more creeped out with the idea of being with me than he was letting on.

We hardly spoke after that.

Myles and I grew apart. He moved on. He answered my calls less and less. Girls fell all over him. He was never cocky. He's still the sweetest thing ever and has the biggest heart. He's the DJ for the band Mindless Behavior now. They call him Big Deal. He didnt have time for me.

Losing him was like death.

In eighth grade the Torture continued. I didn't have Myles to protect me anymore. I was being shoved into lockers and pushed and tripped. Jaden couldn't help because his situation was even worse. Girls were playing left and right. He just falls too easily. Junny saved me from all that. She didnt care that I was a social outcast. She took me in. We became really close friends. Junny in all her beauty and perfection saved me from the witches of harris academy. What I didn't know was that she was dating Myles. It was hell. Being the third wheel, watching them be happy together. My pride was beaten to a pulp an embarrassment took root. My pride was at a low. He really was whipped.

Eventually she broke up with him saying that she sensed I didn't like him. Everyones know he still loves her. Who wouldn't?

That doesn't mean it doesnt hurt though. What could he want from me now?

POV- jaden

Jones sits on the side of my bed on her cell. So she's awake. I stride over and sit next to her. She pays no attention and talks to whoever is on the other end. She was so close, her scent was sweet. I'm starting to tingle all over. I wanna hold her so badly. I'm sure she wants to cuddle too but she's on the phone and busy.

One day we'll be able to cuddle all we want. One day.

Instead for now I settle with running my hands through her satin ebony hair. She looks up at me for a split second before resuming her conversation. I don't really pay much attention to her discourse, but I'm getting impatient waiting for her to finish. It's making me anxious and gittery. I really want her to put the phone down. Her not paying me any attention when I'm right here is driving me insane!

Frustration is getting the best of me. My whole life is busy planning so I know what's gonna happen. This is what happens when you do things spontaneously. I should have known better than to venture beyond comfort zone.

" hurry uuuup!" I groan, falling back on the bed in exasperation. My feet and shins dangle aimlessly off the edge.

" I'm almost done Jae. Just another sec okay." she rubs my torso in a consoling manner. The gesture was quick, but it had lasting effects. Warmth spread everywhere in me. I sigh. Her touch is like magic. I lean back into her and play in her hair again, her sugary scent dragging me into a land in my mind of all things happy.

" mhm, bye." she hangs up, slipping the phone into her back pocket.

" okay." she says, finally turning to me.

" who was that?" I ask, still sated by her scent and gently trailing my fingers from the ends of her hair to her back. She shiver, but catches herself with an abrupt stop.

" my boyfriend." she says, in a voice I recognized her using with Samya. That patience and caution.

Did she just say boyfriend?

This knocks me straight out of my sated state and back to myself. Why didn't I think about this? That she could have a boyfriend. My beautiful, intelligent, virtuous love? Oh I'm so stupid! Of course they would want my baby. Who wouldn't? An inferno was rising in me. A heat I've only ever felt toward my father and those who hurt Willow. It was much more intense now. I keep a cool and collected aura, but inside I'm raging. A worried look creases my beloveds face.

I have something special for those who dare to meddle with what's mine.

" what's his name?" I ask, a smile forming on my lips. At this she breaths a sigh of relief.
