What the heart wants (boyxboy)

Thirty-seven

"Hey Mitch wait up!" I turn to see Shana Teel walking to me as I make it to my car after school. Stoping in front of my car I wait for her to catch up

"Hi Shana"

"Hey... how's Jax? Summer told us what happened?"

"He's fine"

"Good. The girls and I were talking about throwing him a party to cheer him up"

"I don't know if a party is what Jax needs right now"

"Well Summer thought it was a great idea and I know Jax, he'd never pass up on a party" she smiles "don't worry about it Mitch he'll be fine trust me. I'll take care of everything, my house this Friday" she walks away.

Last thing Jax needs is a party, stuff like that is the reason he's going through this in the first place.

Driving to Jax's house I park behind Summer's car, walking in I head to his room. The door is wide open and I walk in on Jax laying his head on Summer's lap as she's sitting on the bed running her fingers through his hair, they're laughing "hey" I get there attention still standing at the door

"Hi" Jax sits up with a smile

"Hey Mitch" Summer waves to me. Jax and I stare at each other and I want to kiss him but it just doesn't feel right with Summer here. Getting off the bed she starts to put her shoes back on "I'll take that as my cue"

"No don't leave" Jax grabs her arm

"Your boyfriend's here now and plus I made plans with Cam" she turns to him after putting on her shoes "I love you you know that. Text me" she hugs him then grabs her bag "bye Mitch" she walks past me and leaves.

"I'll be right back" I say to Jax then rush out after Summer "hey Shana told me you guys are throwing Jax a party?" I walk behind Summer as she leaves

She turns smiling "good idea right? I feel like he could really use one"

"No Summer that's not what he needs right now" she stops and turns to me

"How would you know what he needs Mitch? I know Jax better than you"

"This isn't some competition, he's ill Summer" her focus moves from me to behind me.

I turn around to find Jax standing behind me "I'll let you guys talk" Summer leaves.

"You think I'm ill?"

"That's not what I meant Jax"

"It's what you said, ill, you think I'm ill"

"Jax come on it's ok to say you're not ok"

He walks away "yeah but you said ill Mitch! Like something's wrong with me" he walks into his room and I follow him in

"You were crying in the middle of the night"

"That was just a bad dream!" He turns his back to me upset

"I'm sorry I said ill but I'm not going to ignore when something's wrong because you are" Jax doesn't say anything so I turn to leave.

As I'm walking to his front door about to grab the knob I feel a hand on my arm, turning around to him Jax unexpectedly kisses me. At first the kiss confuses me but I quickly get over that and kiss him back, his hand holds my face as his lips tug on mine. "Can't believe you just stormed out like that" our lips stop touching but everything else is

"It's what couples do when they fight, right? One of us has to be the drama queen" his quiet laugh changes my mood so quick

"We're a couple, and this was our first couple fight" the tips of our noses rub together

"I guess so" we smile and I kiss him again. "I'm sorry I was so blatant"

"No don't be" he strokes my cheek "I want you to speak your mind, that's always been who you are"

"Good." I'm going to speak my mind "I don't think you should go to that party" he backs out of our embrace

"But I want to"

"Jax seriously you have some things to work out for yourself and parties isn't going to help that"

He comes closer again running his fingers through my hair "I love you for worrying about me but anyone who knows me knows I love a good party, so I've made up my mind, I'm going."

"That's it?"

"Yes Mitch"

I pull his arm away from me "then enjoy your stupid party" I storm out of his house.

Jax pov

"Oh my god! He makes me so angry!" I storm into Summer's room after my fight with Mitch

"What happened?" She asks as she puts make up on in front of her giant vanity

I drop on her bed "who the hell does Mitch think he is?! He looks me in the eyes and says I have things to work out and parties isn't going to help that"

"Mitch is a firm believer in sleeping on your problems, like eww! No I don't want to stay in bed because Fuzzy died, that bitch was old!" Fuzzy's her cat

"Like don't tell me what I shouldn't do!" We turn to each other. Her face is fully made up "where are you going?"

"To see Cam remember?"

"Oh right, what should I do about Mitch?! He just stormed out because I said I'm going on Friday"

"Yeah I don't know, I spent a year with that guy and I never figured it out! He has this way of getting the last word and then storming away, and he fucking ignores you while he knows how much you want to talk to him"

"Oh my god that's so true, he makes you want him"

"Fuck he's so good at that!"

"Like the sight of Mitch walking towards me is mouth watering"

She stands up and sits next to me "or when he picks you up with just one arm and slams you against a wall and just fucking rips your underwear off and-"

"Summer stop! This is getting weird" I stand up getting away from her "should I call him? Or go to his house?"

"No ignore him" she stands up walking to her mirror

"I feel like that'd just make him more upset"

"Exactly! Mitch hates being mad and he always has to do the right thing, you and I on the other hand aren't like that. If you ignore the son of a bitch he'll hunt for you, and find you just to sweep you off your feet with a gesture showing you how much he cares." She's so right, throughout their relationship I've watched Mitch sweep Summer off her feet wishing that it was me.

I watch as Summer stare at herself sad in the mirror and I don't think she knows that I notice, every time I promise not to talk about Mitch with her it just happens, I don't have anyone else to talk about him with. "I'd change those shoes, they're very out of season" I change the conversation

Summer smiles "fuck you! These shoes are new"

I laugh "wear the purple pumps dummy, it'll match your purse"

She turns to me "this is why we're best friends!" Getting excited she takes her shoes off

"You're welcome. Now I'm gonna go home and ignore my boyfriend"

"Have fun" I leave her house.
