Irresistible// Jace Norman Fanfic

Chapter 14~ Reputation

Jace's POV

J- is it about Alex?

I was hesitant on my message but I just had this feeling.

B- yes, I'm sorry

I felt my heart involuntarily sink so low. I shouldn't feel this way, it's not like we are dating and she probably cheated on me.

J- don't be, but we can talk about it when I see you tomorrow

B- alright 😕

'Don't stress Jace' I thought to myself, deciding I just wanted to take a nap or something. Grabbing my charger I went to the room I was staying in. This shouldn't bother me but it does, so much. I got comfortable in the bed, texting Bella telling her that I was gonna go to sleep so that she doesn't worry. I snuggled myself in my blankets, sleeping my stress away.

Bella's POV

I've probably never been so nervous to talk to Jace, ever. My mom allowed me to come home early so I could see him when he got home. My mom thought Jace was the sweetest boy ever, so she favored him. I don't blame her. I had made myself comfortable on my living room couch, taking advantage of being home alone, so I could watch Netflix on the bigger tv. I started to doze of during a cooking show when there was a knock at the door. I groggily got up, my blanket wrapped around me. I opened the door to see Jace.

"Hi." Jace spoke, rocking back and forth on his feet.

"Hey." I smile faintly, stepping aside to let him in. He stepped inside, I closed the door after him.

"We need to talk." He said, giving me his sincere look, which included his deep brown eyes that made me weak every time I looked at them.

"I know." I nodded, walking back over to the couch with him following. Grabbing the remote I paused the show and we both sat down.

"I'm sorry." I started, not even looking at him.

"You have nothing to be sorry about Bella." Jace replied to me, I shook my head.

"Yes I do," I say, forcing myself to look at him. He stared right back at me. "I don't want to be like this anymore. I don't want to have this reputation anymore."

"Then don't be Bell. You don't have to be like that."

"It's so hard for some reason. I'm just too easy." I sighed, leaning back on the cushions.

"But i'm here to help you-"

"Jace you can't though. I know you want to help and I feel so guilty for letting you down." I told him, he shook his head and moved closer to me.

"No no no, Bella don't feel guilty. Don't feel like you have to listen to me, I can't tell you what to do." Jace placed his hands on my shoulders, making me turn my body towards him.

"Tell me how you feel." I muttered hesitantly.

"W-what?" Jace stuttered, slowly dropping his hands from my shoulders.

"Tell me how you feel, Jace." I said a bit louder.

"I'm pretty sure you already know." He replied to me, his eyes almost shamefully looking down. I took a shaky breath and slowly cupped Jace's face in my hands, forcing his head back up. I couldn't help it, I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I leaned in and let our lips touch. I felt Jace's jaw clench for a few moments before relaxing his muscles. His hands instinctively grab my waist.

Now this, THIS felt right.

We both pulled away, I still had my hands on face, my thumbs lightly going over his cheekbones.

"I'm falling for you Jace." I whispered, he just stared at me for so long."But I'm not good for you." I added while taking my hands away from his face.

"Bell-"

"Please don't argue with me about it Jace. I know you want to fix me but I don't think it will work. I've dug myself too deep in this reputation." I cut him off, gently taking his hands off my waist.
"I'll hurt you, Jace."

"No you won't Bella, I know you won't." He shook his head, coming closer to me once more.

"You don't know that. One night of drinking without you and I'll do whatever I want because that side of me doesn't care about anything. If I get upset, that side of me doesn't care about anything. I'll only hurt you while you could be someone else better." I bit my lip, feeling that horrible tightness in my throat and the watery eyes.

"That's why I'm going to help you. You're my best friend and I know you're a great person." Jace faintly smiled at me."I really like you, Bella."

"No Jace, don't say that." I shake my head, my voice cracking, then standing up off the couch.

"But I will because it's true." Jace stood up as well, the volume of his voice getting louder.

"I believe you Jace, but it won't work."

"Stop." He muttered, stepping closer to me." It could, if you let it work."

"No." I shake my head, feeling a tear
roll down my cheek. I look at Jace, yet another facial expression I've never seen before. Sadness. I hated seeing it. As I couldn't help myself again, I stepped forward and brought our lips back together. I let my arms wrap around his neck to pull him closer. His hands at my waist again, as we both deepened the kiss. I wanted so much more time to be doing this. I wanted to taste him more, I wanted more of everything. It felt like a drug I just got introduced to. A very good one, but a very toxic one. Before any of it could go too far, I forced myself to pull away.

"Jace Norman, you are my best friend and something about you has got me needing you in my life." I whispered with our faces so close to each other's." But I am no good for you. Please understand." It was have this time to take his hands and away, then stepping back. Jace just nodded his head, and stared at me for a few moments. I tried gathering what his face expression was telling me but I couldn't read it.
Jace took steps away from me, j know his mind was filled with many thought. Without a word he walked away and out the door.

"I'm sorry." I whispered to myself, them limply falling onto the couch. I reached for my blanket and wrapped myself in it.

I didn't continue my show, I just laid there and cried.
